Injectable Facial Treatments

Butyl toxin is perhaps the most common non-surgical cosmetic injection treatment. It is considered the treatment of choice for the elimination of dynamic wrinkles and the prevention of the appearance of permanent wrinkles on the face. Pharmacologically it is a toxin that blocks the nerve impulse in the muscle, thus preventing it from contracting and causing its action. Butyl toxin injection finds many applications in the aesthetic treatment of the face such as the elimination of wrinkles on the forehead, middle eyebrow, the area around the eyes on the nose and lips (smoky wrinkles). It also has application in improving the appearance of the neck, the elevation of the corners of the mouth and the skin of the upper jaw as well as the correction of the excessive appearance of the gums of the upper lip with a smile. The treatment is applied quickly and is done with a series of injections of the drug into the muscles that we aim to inactivate. It is very important to inject the right amount exactly at the right point. At the end of the treatment there may be a slight skin irritation which subsides very quickly. It is also important that for a few hours after the end of the treatment you do not press on the areas where the treatment took place and follow the instructions that will be given to you so that the medicine does not move to another area from where it was injected.

Fillers are also very common in non-surgical facial aesthetics. They are used to give volume to areas that need to be stimulated such as the lips or to restore volume lost over time from areas such as the cheekbones, cheeks, nasolabial folds and temples. They are also very often used to fill deep static wrinkles in various parts of the face. There are different fillers that differ in their properties and density in order to be superior to each other depending on the area to be placed and the purpose of treatment. At the end of the treatment there may be a slight skin irritation which will subside very quickly and you should be careful to avoid applying pressure to the area for a few hours after the treatment.

A. PDO tightening threads: The threads from this material are placed in dense meshes under the skin on the face and anywhere else on the body (arms, thighs, buttocks, etc.). This treatment aims at the progressive absorption of the material by the body and the gradual replacement of it by collagen and connective tissue. As a result of the creation of new collagen and connective tissue, there is a tightening and straightening of the area where the yarns were used, which is as large as more yarns have been used. The application is simple, it is done only with anesthetic cream and the effect is maintained for 1-1.5 years.

B. Lift yarns: These yarns have a different mode of action from the previous ones. They are longer and have small hooks or special cones with which they are hooked on the lower surface of the skin so that with the appropriate traction and stabilization they cause a small lift on the face. They are especially useful in cases where the correction needed is small and there is no indication for a surgical lift as well as for people who do not wish to undergo surgery. Areas applied are the forehead for lifting the eyebrows, the cheekbones, the cheeks, the lower jaw and the neck. The application is also simple but is done with local anesthetic while the results are maintained for about 1-1.5 years.

With injectable mesotherapy, preparations of hyaluronic acid, vitamins and other nutrients are placed in the middle layer of the skin. The treatment is done with many injections so that the whole face and neck are properly covered and for this reason it needs proper preparation with anesthetic cream. This treatment will moisturize the skin and enrich it with nutrients, thus improving its quality and thus making it healthier and more radiant. Depending on the needs of each person, the appropriate combination of preparations and the appropriate number of treatments will be selected. PRP or autologous mesotherapy has a different mode of action as it takes advantage of the regenerative and healing properties of our blood and especially of platelets. The procedure involves taking blood, centrifuging the blood and taking the part that contains the growth factors and the special healing enzymes. For best results this can be enriched with special plasma activators. The material is then applied to the skin in exactly the same way. With the healing process that follows, the body will produce new elastin and collagen, making the skin more youthful and firm. Finally, the combination of the properties of the two methods of mesotherapy is particularly beneficial for the skin.
