Filler ReDexis (Redexis): description, advantages, reviews

Non-surgical rejuvenation of the neck and décolleté (BEFORE and AFTER photos). Contour plastic surgery, biorevitalization of the décolleté area. Vector lifting: is it possible to lift the décolleté area without surgery?

Plastic surgeon, Candidate of Medical Sciences E. S. Kudinova

When a surgeon talks about rejuvenation, they usually talk about surgery. This is not because “plastic surgeons can’t do without a scalpel.” It’s just that in women 45 years of age or older, surgery can obviously give a good result for a very long time. Any cosmetic procedure (almost always!) cannot be compared with surgical correction neither in terms of effectiveness, nor in long-term effect, nor even in cost (try to calculate the total cost of a non-surgical alternative - injections, threads, laser and other anti-aging procedures that will be required within 15- you years old!). But the rejuvenating effect of the operation lasts all these 15-20 years!

Why NOW do I want to talk not about operations, but exclusively about NON-SURGICAL LIFT?

The fact is that we do not have surgical methods for rejuvenating the décolleté area. So there is simply no alternative to non-surgical methods for correcting this area!

Carrying out the procedure

The method of administration of the Redexis drug is based on intradermal injections, which provide a rejuvenating and tightening effect. The tissues are filled with volume and wrinkles are smoothed out. Even after the gel is absorbed, the formation of new connective tissue and collagen production continues.

The drug is used for volumetric modeling with reinforcing lifting properties:

• Reinforcement and face lifting
• Neck reinforcement and lift
• Reinforcement of hands

This method of injection rejuvenation and correction is minimally invasive, without large punctures of the skin. The doctor uses the finest microneedles that create the sensation of an insect bite.

The procedure is painless. At the request of the patient, local anesthesia is performed in case of increased skin sensitivity.

Pros of ReDexis:

• prolonged action effect,
• long period of residence in tissues,
• uniform filling and filling,
• collagen formation after the removal of hyaluronic acid.

Features of facial contouring

The procedure should be performed only by a highly qualified cosmetologist or dermatocosmetologist with a higher medical education. Carrying out contour plastic surgery by a specialist who has only completed courses, etc., is dangerous, since without a thorough understanding of the structural features of facial skin and other features, it can harm the patient or at least get a result that is not what he expected.

Before carrying out contour correction, the doctor will definitely find out from the patient what effect he wants to get and what problems with the facial skin concern him most, whether he had to do contour plastic surgery before, and if so, what drugs were used for this and what result was obtained. The doctor will definitely conduct a thorough examination and find out if there are any contraindications for the use of fillers. In some cases, to exclude them, it is necessary to undergo certain tests or obtain advice from specialists.

After this, the cosmetologist selects the date when the procedure will be performed. The day before, you should minimize physical activity and stop drinking alcohol. If the patient is taking any medications, the doctor must be informed about this, since taking certain medications during facial correction with fillers can increase the likelihood of hematomas, edema and other undesirable effects.

Directly contour plastic surgery is carried out according to the following algorithm:

• cleansing the facial skin of decorative cosmetics and impurities, treating with an antiseptic;
• marking the places where fillers are introduced, indicating the puncture point and the direction of needle movement;
• application of topical anesthesia to the skin in the affected area in order to reduce the severity of unpleasant sensations (mainly carried out only if the selected filler does not contain an anesthetic);
• opening the drug in the presence of the patient;
• introduction of the gel using a pre-selected technique according to the applied markings;
• treatment with an antiseptic and a light massage to evenly distribute the filler at the injection site.

The average duration of contouring is 40-120 minutes.

For each patient, the cosmetologist selects not only the drug individually, but also the needle. The thinner the needle, the less painful the injection will be and the lower the risk of hematoma formation and other undesirable consequences. But despite these advantages, the thinnest needles are not capable of introducing dense fillers. Therefore, they are used only for working with soft gels, which are usually used to correct superficial wrinkles and the lip area.

To smooth out more pronounced wrinkles, fillers with a higher density will be required. For their introduction, needles with a large diameter are used. Such fillers will take longer to dissolve, but their administration will be accompanied by greater discomfort for the patient.

After this, the doctor explains in detail the features of facial care and schedules a consultation in 1-2 weeks. It is important not to ignore it, since this is exactly the time it takes for fillers to distribute evenly in tissues, and a repeat consultation will allow you not only to evaluate the achieved effect, but also, if necessary, adjust it by adding filler or, conversely, introducing an enzyme for its partial resorption.

In general, facial care after contour correction with fillers is no different from that after mesotherapy, biorevitalization, etc. Therefore, patients are recommended:

• for 24 hours after the procedure, avoid any touching of the face, especially in the affected area, and sleep on the stomach or side (it is ideal to sleep on the back the first night);
• for 2 weeks, protect your face from exposure to ultraviolet radiation and use sunscreen with high SPF;
• refuse to visit the solarium, bathhouse, sauna, swimming pool for 2 weeks;
• Avoid serious physical activity for 3 days and refuse massage, including self-massage of the face.

In most cases, all traces of injections disappear within 1-2 days. But a little more recovery time will be required when performing lip correction. In this case, the rehabilitation period may increase to 3-5 days, since the delicate skin of the lips and the peculiarities of their blood supply greatly increase the risk of hematoma formation at the puncture sites.

Reviews from cosmetologists

The drug Redexis receives many positive reviews from cosmetologists. The filler has a number of advantages, including the fastest results and minimal trauma.

With the help of the drug it is possible to solve a number of problems in correcting the natural contour and restoring lost volumes:

• correction of the oval face and chin,
• restoration of volume in the cheekbones and cheeks,
• non-surgical rhinoplasty,
• correction of nasolabial folds,
• horizontal folds on the chin,
• radial lines and lips,
• puppet wrinkles.

CLINIC21 uses only original fillers from trusted manufacturers with proven safety of use. Redexis filler is biologically compatible with the tissues of the human body, which eliminates the risk of allergic reactions.

Characteristics of QT Fill intradermal fillers

Age-related changes are most noticeable in the area of ​​the lower third of the face: drooping of the corners of the mouth, nasolabial folds, the formation of purse-string wrinkles and “puppet” wrinkles, loss of clarity of the oval of the face.

The task of modern medical cosmetology is to start preventing age-related changes as early as possible in order to preserve youth, beauty and health longer.

Young age according to WHO – ranges from 25 to 44 years. Today, there are more and more such patients visiting a cosmetologist. And that is great! At this age, it is easy to prevent age-related changes.

Patients in this category belong to the generation of skeptics who question many things, so the task of a cosmetologist is to correctly substantiate his work.

Such patients follow innovations and want to look good not only in life, but also on social networks (in full face, in profile and half-profile). They are often wealthy and independent, busy and multitasking, ready for several procedures in one session. The quality of the product, attention and professional approach are very important to them.

It is worth noting that the needs of patients change over time. If 5-7 years ago the emphasis was mainly on the lips, then on the cheekbones, today the trend is on the lower third of the face (a clear oval of the face).

Previously, an oval face (or a diamond-shaped face) was considered the most beautiful and photogenic; today, a more elongated lower third of the face (particularly due to the chin) is considered videogenic.

What parameters will we use when harmonizing and beautifying the lower third of the face?

Contraindications

Absolute contraindications:

• acute inflammatory processes at the intended injection sites;
• severe somatic diseases;
• autoimmune diseases;
• collagenoses;
• blood clotting disorder;
• pregnancy;
• lactation;
• local inflammatory process;
• hypersensitivity to the components of the drug;
• correction of one zone using a combination of biodegradable and non-biodegradable materials.

Patient profile analysis

CC Steiner (1962) proposed studying the position of the lips relative to the line (S-line) connecting the middle of the S-curve formed by the contour of the nose and upper lip with the cutaneous point pg. He assessed the position of the lips in two positions, namely the lips in front or behind the aesthetic line.

RM Ricketts (1957) recommended determining the position of the lips relative to the aesthetic line (E-line). It is carried out through the most prominent points of the nose and soft tissue chin - point pg. With a harmoniously developed face, the lips are located behind this plane: the upper lip is 2–3 mm, the lower lip is 1–2 mm.

To study the position of the upper and lower lips on the soft tissue profile, S. J. Burston (1967) proposed using a B-line connecting the soft tissue points sn and pg. The author took linear measurements from the protruding points of the upper and lower lips perpendicular to this line. This line does not depend on the size of the nose, which continues to grow until the age of 27. According to S. J. Burston, the ratio of the lower lip to the upper is 2:1 in men and 2:3 in women. The upper lip should be located 3.5 ± 1.4 mm in front of this line, and the lower lip should be located 2.2 ± 1.6 mm in front of this line.

How can we solve the problem of skin aging in the décolleté area?

The bad news : There is no good surgical technique for décolleté rejuvenation.

Good news : some non-surgical rejuvenation techniques can solve this problem quite well.

Great news : new injection methods that offer us a more effective and, more importantly, long-term solution have already appeared, tested and confirm our best expectations.

Advantages of the methods

Are common:

• correction of age-related skin changes with mesothreads and fillers is atraumatic for the patient (compared to operations);
• During the procedure, no incisions are made on the skin, the pinpoint points where the needles enter heal quickly, leaving no marks;
• there is no (or short) rehabilitation period;
• minimum (compared to operations) time for a procedure, 1 procedure = 45 minutes;
• mesothreads and fillers are ≈90% biocompatible with tissues.

Fillers:

• allow you to create the missing volume;
• fill (even out) even very deep wrinkles and folds;
• promote skin hydration (biorevitalization technology with fillers based on hyaluronic acid).

Mesothreads:

• the tissue reaction to the threads is insignificant, microcirculation disruption is minimized (fillers with overcorrection can cause necrosis - a severe disruption of microcirculation);
• longer lasting aesthetic result.

MYTH 1: The introduction of mesothreads and fillers rejuvenates the skin.

According to Natalya Shkolyar , this is one of the most dangerous misconceptions that most aesthetic medicine specialists are trying to introduce into our consciousness. Alas, no biological rejuvenation of the skin occurs. From the point of view of medicine in general and surgery in particular, the desired lifting effect is based on trauma to the soft tissues of the face, without visible marks on the skin. And recovery follows the principle of wound healing. When threads and fillers are introduced, the skin is damaged, soft elastic “micro-scars” appear inside, which contribute to a change in its optical density. As a result, the patient sees in the mirror that he begins to look younger.

In fact, the biological process of skin aging does not slow down, and sometimes accelerates (if an inexperienced specialist violates the administration technique or the patient does not follow the doctor’s recommendations).

Nowadays, all forced “rejuvenating” manipulations are increasingly presented as improving a person’s health. This does not add respect to people who mislead patients.

Ekaterina Glagoleva:

“As such, true skin rejuvenation does not occur when implanting threads made of smooth suture material. As soon as the technique appeared, many manufacturers assured that a thread of smooth suture material was placed in the middle layers of the skin and, due to the constant irritating effect, collagen synthesis processes were started. At the moment, the term “subdermal introduction of mesothreads” is increasingly heard, namely they are located in the hypodermis (subcutaneous fatty tissue), and we are no longer talking about synthetic processes of the dermal matrix.

Fillers based on hyaluronic acid have recently followed the path of evolution and combine stabilized acid to recreate volumes and unstabilized hyaluronic acid, which acts as a biorevitalizant. In this case, I rather began to talk about skin rejuvenation.”

MYTH 4: In terms of specific gravity, mesothreads are lighter than fillers. Therefore, they do not aggravate age-related ptosis.

There is some truth to this. Mesothreads are very thin, one tenth of a millimeter in diameter. Thanks to this, they do not stretch, but instead reinforce the fabric. With the constant introduction of fillers into one area (for example, the nasolabial fold), the volume of the injected substance increases each time.

However, to a greater extent, according to Natalya Shkolyar , this is not due to the “sagging” of soft tissues under the weight of the gel, but to the fact that the injected volume is very difficult to control. If the filler is administered by a not very experienced specialist, overcorrection occurs, followed by a not very good aesthetic effect. It can be compared to using cling film. When you stop pulling it, it “shrinks up”. The same thing - alas! - happens to the skin: the so-called optical density of the tissue does not change for the better.

Ekaterina Glagoleva:

“Yes, we always take gravity into account and must remember that when we add weight to already heavy, sometimes swollen tissues, we aggravate the manifestations of gravitational ptosis. And the property of hyaluronic acid to retain moisture also plays a role in making tissue heavier. But injecting a large number of PDO-based threads (smooth threads) can also weigh down the tissue. Everything again comes down to a rational choice of methodology and quantity.”

Advantages and disadvantages of fillers compared to popular competitors

Neuramis lip preparation is a ready-to-administer biogel in a glass syringe with two disposable ultra-thin needles.

Advantages of the drug:

• high quality and safe composition;
• minimal likelihood of side effects or allergies;
• variability of the drug - for the correction of strongly and weakly expressed defects;
• moderate cost;
• proven effectiveness and prolonged effect.

Injections and rehabilitation period

The procedure takes from 30 minutes to one hour. Stages:

1. Skin cleansing and antiseptic treatment.
2. Treating the skin with an anesthetic if filler without lidocaine is used.
3. Marking.
4. Administration of the drug.
5. Antiseptic treatment.

Immediately after the injection of the filler, swelling and redness of the skin are possible. For a week or two, the following restrictions must be observed:

• avoid physical activity;
• do not use decorative cosmetics;
• do not visit the sauna, solarium, swimming pool;
• do not smoke, do not drink coffee and alcohol;
• cleanse the skin with special antiseptic products;
• don't grimace.

Full face

Let's note another popular request for beautiful lips - don't overdo it.

Lips should not make up more than 25% of the lower third of the face.

The upper lip should ideally correspond to 1/3 of the lower lip. The main volume of the drug is distributed in the center of the lips, corresponding to the line of projection of the wings of the nose.

It is worth paying attention to the shape of the face; square and trapezoidal shapes may not be suitable for correction of the angles of the lower jaw.
