According to specialists in Aesthetic Medicine, facial aging begins to manifest itself, as a general rule, from the decade of the 30s to the 40s. This is due to the progressive loss of skin density, the decrease of fat in certain facial compartments and, to a certain extent, the beginning of bone resorption.
What are the signs of facial aging?
When facial aging begins to manifest itself, signs such as small wrinkles appear between the eyebrows, forehead and crow’s feet; facial furrows are accentuated; the skin loses firmness and brightness and its texture worsens.
Long continuous exposure to the sun is another factor that causes facial aging, leading to the appearance of spots on the face.
In this period of manifestation of the signs, the treatments will be fundamentally aimed at prevention, avoiding the appearance or accentuation of those signs of facial aging.
Common treatments to conceal facial aging
There is a difference between treatments that seek to reshape a specific facial or body area and those that seek maintenance or prevention. The most demanded by patients are maintenance and prevention treatments, which improve skin quality, prevent the development of certain wrinkles or the appearance of blemishes.
The most popular maintenance or prevention treatments are facial mesotherapy with vitamins, hyaluronic acid and organic silicon, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), facial chemical peels, botox and collagen inducers.
Can more than one anti-aging facial treatment be done in the same session?
Patients always come to a first informative consultation in which we look for the best way to meet their needs and include as much as possible the facial rejuvenation.
It is complicated to perform more than one treatment in the same session since there may be contraindications when doing them together. In addition, it is important to evaluate the evolution of the treated area, since, depending on the results obtained, it is possible to act over time.
