Dr. Amselem, an aesthetic doctor in Madrid, explains how to maintain a youthful appearance without resorting to surgery. Collagen inducers and hyaluronic acid are beneficial and natural substances for the skin that can help maintain a youthful appearance of the skin. In the following article, Dr. Moisés Amselem explains the five rules to achieve youthful skin without the need for a facelift and also with natural substances such as those mentioned above.
Collagen, a natural substance
The skin contains collagen, one of the components of connective tissue. A collagen inducer is a resorbable substance that consists of calcium hydroxyapatite. It can be applied by injection, which is neither painful nor harmful to the skin. This treatment has been performed in the United States for 15 years, an aspect that speaks of its great reliability and quality of treatment. It must be said that in some cases a small inflammation may appear for two or three days, which can be reduced by applying cold locally and some anti-inflammatory. The treatment creates a structure in the parts where the collagen inducer is applied and creates a natural “holding” of the face without changing the physical appearance of the face.
Long-lasting results
Another type of collagen inducer acts as a dermal filler with long-lasting effects. This other substance is responsible for correcting wrinkles and sagging through the production of collagen produced by the patient’s body. The substance is used to reduce sagging of the face and neck folds with the ultimate goal of achieving volume in the cheekbones and chin.
Hyaluronic acid, a risk-free natural product
On the other hand, hyaluronic acid is a natural product that fills wrinkles regardless of their size and without any risk of being rejected by the connective tissue because it combines perfectly with this tissue. Its duration is between 6 and 12 months due to the biodegradation of the passage of time. It is applied with a fine needle in order to avoid bruising, the redness also disappears after a few days.
Fuller lips thanks to hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid can also be applied to the lips to achieve a fuller and more contoured appearance. Patients who have wrinkles on their lips have the feeling that they look much older than they are and decide to undergo this treatment. By performing a treatment with hyaluronic acid, a lifting effect can be achieved without resorting to surgery. Dr. Moisés Amselem thus manages to solve the “barcode” effect (wrinkles around the mouth) thanks to hyaluronic acid, which gives the lips naturalness and discretion.
Who can benefit from hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid can be used in patients of any age, sex and at any time of the year, i.e. the cold of winter or the heat of summer does not affect the application of hyaluronic acid. In addition, this substance attracts sodium and drags water, so it is completely natural and improves the appearance.
