In Argentina, spring is the time of greatest demand for aesthetic treatments for both the face and the body and this is due to the change in climate as people begin to prepare for summer, a time of year when there are usually more social gatherings, vacations, beach and sun, among others.
Below are the 5 most requested facial procedures during these months:
- Application of botulinum toxin is the most performed treatment in aesthetic medicine worldwide and at all times of the year, therefore, spring is no exception. Mainly, it works on the muscles of facial expression, especially those of the forehead, between the eyebrows and crow’s feet, and promotes their relaxation. Therefore, it gives a more rested appearance to the face, without giving volume as fillers do, for example.
- Biostimulators and bioremodelers, for their part, are the most in demand and fastest growing in recent years. They are very effective in treating mild to moderate sagging skin because they promote collagen biosynthesis. Among the main ones, calcium hydroxyapatite, non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid and polylactic acid stand out. Non-cross-linked hyaluronic is a bioregenerator that helps improve the quality of the skin and increase its hydration. It should not be confused with the usual fillers with this acid because there is no increase in volume.
Meanwhile, the results of hydroxyapatite (one of the most used procedures to encourage collagen production) are observed after a month. The skin looks tighter and more elastic, while polylactic acid is used to improve various areas of the body, in addition to the face, such as buttocks, arms and abdomen.
- Platelet-rich plasma can also be performed throughout the year, but, at this time, it is ideal to prepare the skin against the abuse of summer, meaning careless exposure to the sun, chlorinated pool water, salty water. of sea and the sand of the beach.
- Radiofrequency is a non-invasive treatment and, at the same time, a good alternative that complements the stimulation of collagen synthesis in the skin. Multiple sessions can be carried out with different time intervals between them.
- Last but not least, there is facial mesotherapy, another non-invasive treatment that helps treat different skin problems such as sagging, spots, wrinkles and lack of light. It is a procedure that requires perseverance on the part of the patient since he must undergo periodic sessions.
