Contour plastic with Princess Volume filler - reviews

PRINCESS line of drugs is the Austrian company Croma, which has been producing products for cosmetology for more than 30 years. PRINCESS preparations consist of hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin, that is, they are completely hypoallergenic and absolutely biocompatible with the human body.

The advantage of PRINCESS preparations is the SMART technology. Hyaluronic acid obtained using this technology is able to recognize interstitial voids and be evenly distributed in them. Procedures using PRINCESS drugs solve problems such as:

• insufficient skin turgor;
• wrinkles, bags under the eyes;
• unclear relief of the face;
• undefined lip contour;
• dry skin.

After the procedure, the patient’s skin becomes moisturized, smoother, and tighter. The effect lasts for 7-12 months.

Preparations from the PRINCESS line solve complex problems in modern cosmetology. The PRINCESS line includes 4 drugs that perfectly complement each other:

• PRINCESS Rich
• PRINCESS Filler
• PRINCESS Volume
• PRINCESS Contour

Let's look at each of the drugs in more detail.

Radiesse

This is a dermal filler from the world famous German company Merz based on calcium hydroxyapatite, which has a unique triple mechanism of action, including non-surgical face lifting, long-term correction of wrinkles and improvement of skin quality. It works as a filler and stimulates the process of producing your own collagen.

Radiesse is one of the most studied and safe fillers, it is approved by the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration). Radiesse is one of the most popular fillers today.

Why is Radiesse so good?

It gives an instant lifting effect, removing moderate and deep wrinkles and improving skin quality. Immediately after the injection, the volumes characteristic of a young face are restored. Nasolabial folds are instantly smoothed out, the oval of the face becomes even clearer and more expressive than it was 20 years ago.

The increased effectiveness of the drug is explained by its unique formula, which powerfully stimulates the skin’s own regeneration processes. The drug contains microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite (used in medicine for more than 20 years) and a gel, which completely biodegrade over time, that is, they are completely eliminated from the body. Microspheres do not attract moisture, so the filler is ideal for complex patients: those prone to swelling, those with loose skin, and male patients.

Men have thicker, heavier skin, and they often experience a noticeable loss of volume in the cheeks, nose, and chin folds. These changes can be eliminated by targeted and deep injection of a gel based on calcium hydroxylapatite.

Radiesse allows you to perform a vector face lift (in this it successfully competes with a thread lift), working on the temporal region and eliminating deep nasolabial folds. Suitable for non-surgical correction of the shape of the nose (smoothing the hump, modeling the tip). Used to harmonize the chin. Effective for radical rejuvenation of the dorsum of the hands. Used to rejuvenate the earlobes.

Radiesse does not cause an inflammatory reaction in tissues and does not migrate. In addition to the immediate lifting effect, calcium hydroxyapatite in the composition of the drug stimulates the synthesis of its own type 1 collagen, which creates the effect of velvety skin and restores the firmness and elasticity characteristic of youth.

The correction is simple, does not take much time, and does not cause discomfort. The molecules of the drug are so smooth and dense that moisture simply rolls off them. This means that it will remain in the skin for quite a long time. If classical fillers begin to biodegrade from tissues after 4-6 months, then with Radiesse this begins to happen only after 24 months after its administration.

Thanks to its water-repellent properties, Radiesse helps get rid of jowls, which cannot be achieved by injecting, for example, hyaluronic acid into the lower part of the face. At the same time, Radiesse can be safely combined with other fillers, including those based on hyaluronic acid.

After just one Radiesse procedure you can achieve:

• face lifts and corrections;
• eliminating facial wrinkles;
• improving the contours of the cheeks and chin;
• replenishment of the deficit in the volume of soft tissues of the face;
• smoothing nasolabial folds;
• hand rejuvenation;
• nose correction;
• replenishment of lost volume of the temporal region;
• formation of the facial frame.

How does it feel to use Princess Volume?

This product is considered viscoelastic; it has a very dense structure, as a result of which a person can feel it under the skin for some time during and after manipulation.

Note! The specificity of Princess Volume allows you to even feel the filler through the skin. But it will only take a week and you will get used to the unusual sensations.

Lumps may be felt for some time after the procedure, but this will soon disappear

Although the drug we are considering is very dense, at the same time it is quite flexible: it fits well in the desired area and is distributed correctly. No lumps are formed.

Another strong point of Princess Volum is the lack of bright, eye-catching color. Therefore, the patient will not encounter the fact that the filler will show through the skin with a bluish tint.

Sculptra

The French innovative drug Sculptra has already been dubbed injection plastic surgery by cosmetologists. This is a biostimulator based on polylactic acid, which, entering the deep layers of the skin, starts the process of producing collagen types 1 and 3. It is also called “young collagen”.

Tests of the drug Sculptra show that three months after its introduction into the skin, the amount of collagen in it increases by 66.5 percent. The skin is noticeably tightened, deep folds and wrinkles disappear, and lost volume is restored. With the help of Sculptra, facial asymmetry is also ideally corrected. The drug thus fully lives up to its name!

It is important to recognize that facial aging is not an isolated process limited to nasolabial folds or sagging skin, but rather represents a collection of general changes in the skeleton, soft tissues and skin structures. Therefore, comprehensive rejuvenation is necessary, which involves not only the correction of nasolabial folds, but also the creation of a more youthful overall appearance. Sculptra is ideal for tightening the neck, décolleté, inner surfaces of the arms and legs, abdomen, buttocks - the main areas of the body where sagging skin structures are most pronounced.

The gradual restoration of volume can be an advantage for many patients who want to maintain individuality during the process of external transformation. Over time, polylactic acid completely disintegrates and is eliminated from the body naturally.

The effect after injections lasts for 2 or more years. From time to time, the patient may need to administer 1-2 additional bottles to look “perfect.” The interval between repeated injections varies widely from several months to several years.

Correction with the drug can be combined with the administration of neurotoxins. Laser and phototherapy can be used immediately after the injection of polylactic acid. It is also possible to combine Sculptra with photorejuvenation and laser therapy.

The sculpture is ideal for:

• correction of deep wrinkles;
• restoration of facial contours;
• smoothing asymmetry;
• harmonization of features;
• neck and décolleté lifts;
• the inner surfaces of the arms and legs, abdomen and buttocks.

Menstruation and Princess Volume injections

It is worth remembering that on some days the injections may cause significantly more discomfort and pain. Therefore, you need to choose the most suitable period for the procedure.

It's no secret that women react differently to pain on different days of their cycle. Cosmetologists recommend injections of Princess Volum in the second or third week of the cycle.

When you start menstruating, it is better to refuse the event, because the pricked area will bleed more, and there will be more pain, because the period of menstruation is characterized by a decrease in the pain threshold. Thus, manipulation will cause much more discomfort.

It is better not to carry out the procedure during menstruation - this will avoid severe discomfort.

Profhilo

This is an innovative product from the leader in the production of drugs based on hyaluronic acid - the Swiss company IBSA. It produces ultra-pure hyaluronic acid, obtained through a bacterial fermentation process and classified as "Top Quality".

The drug is based on hyaluronic acid with low and high molecular weight in equal proportions. This is a special hybrid technology developed and patented by IBSA scientists. Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid moisturizes the skin and gives a reinforcing effect. High molecular weight – improves local blood circulation, stimulates the production of your own collagen, and provides tissue lifting. This is achieved due to the accumulation of water molecules around the high molecular weight acid. This formula is called Hydrolift.

Profhilo activates the vital activity of not only fibroblasts and keratinocytes, but also adipocytes (fat cells), supports their viability, which leads to the restoration of its own subcutaneous fat, the deficiency of which is determined with age.

High fluidity allows the components of the drug to freely pass through the subcutaneous tissue and dermis, which is not possible with traditional fillers with hyaluronic acid. Profhilo is ideal for introduction into anatomically complex areas - forehead, neck, submandibular areas.

Profhilo smoothes out skin defects well, for example, post-acne scars or after chickenpox. The unique formula of the drug made it possible to develop new protocols for its administration. First of all, the number of required injection points has been reduced. For the face, the “5 BET” technique is used - 5 bioaesthetic points for each side of the face. Five points correspond to five areas of the face, selected taking into account the anatomical structure: there are no large vessels or nerve endings there. Thanks to this, the risks of side effects are minimized, and maximum distribution of the drug in the cheekbones and lower jaw is achieved.

In the neck area, the drug is injected into 10 bioaesthetic points. They are also located taking into account the existing anatomical structures and do not affect such important organs as the submandibular salivary glands and the thyroid gland, the carotid artery, the trachea and the larynx. The drug has excellent potential for combined use with traditional fillers containing stabilized hyaluronic acid for more precise and skillful volume correction.

The basic course is limited to only two procedures with an interval of one month. Additional correction (if necessary) is possible after 2-3 months. The first results can be seen approximately on the second day after the procedure, and the skin will reach full bloom in about three months. The effect lasts for 8–10 months.

What results can you achieve with Profhilo?

• remodel facial contours;
• create the effect of beautiful high cheekbones;
• restore subcutaneous tissue, increasing its volume;
• restore the clarity of the contour of the lower jaw;
• rejuvenate the tissues of the neck and décolleté;
• give the skin radiance.

Procedure

The drug Princess Volum is injected under the skin with fairly thin needles, as a result of which the correction of any defects is carried out with real precision.

The result and its preservation over time are ensured for women with any skin type, so the product is considered universal.

The results usually last for quite a long time.

When a 27 G needle is used, the middle or deep dermal layers are affected: these are the folds in the nasolabial triangle, cheeks, chin - volume is restored. If the work is done on the lips, you can give them a beautiful contour and erase wrinkles in their corners.

Before starting manipulations, you need to consult a specialist to find out:

• what is the condition of the skin at the moment, its structure and the possibility of stretching, the presence of wrinkles, the degree of their severity - after this the required dosage of Princess Volume is determined;
• the specifics of the client’s body, the presence of problems with the immune system, individual intolerance to hyaluronate;
• previously used fillers and the area of ​​their impact;
• medications used to treat certain diseases (and specifics of what is treated with these medications);
• predisposition of the skin to hypertrophic scarring.

Before the procedure, consultation with a specialist is required.

The specialist determines the “front of work”, after which he selects the most optimal method of introducing the filler - a needle can be used, or a cannula with a rounded tip (for the area around the eyes). The client must be aware of all the manipulations that will be performed on them, as well as what he should do after the procedure.

Note! Before manipulation, it is forbidden to take medications that thin the blood - then the risk of bruising will be low (such drugs include, for example, aspirin).

The event must be carried out in cosmetology by an experienced specialist.

Some time before the procedure, the package with the drug and sterile syringes is brought to the cosmetology department and placed in the refrigerator. The packaging is opened only in front of the client. If desired, the person can be told how much of the drug will be used, and information about the expiration date and batch number is provided. There are stickers on the packaging that must be placed in an individual client card.

Note! The injections do not require a preliminary allergy test, since the component used is absolutely similar to what is natural to the human body. In the case where the filler contains lidocaine, anesthesia is not performed. In other situations, conduction anesthesia, solutions, ointments and creams are used.

The product may already contain lidocaine - then the skin will not be anesthetized

During the event:

• the “work front” is exposed to a disinfectant;
• correction of existing problems occurs with the help of pinpoint injections (this applies to tubercles), wrinkles are treated with a needle of the appropriate length and filled with the drug;
• The filler is distributed under the skin with a light massage.

If additional events are needed, they are carried out after a week and a half. In addition to introducing Princess Volum in parallel, there is also a perpendicular method. Due to this, a specific frame is formed, and the result is very noticeable.

After completing the manipulations, you should avoid cosmetic procedures for about a month that involve the use of various equipment; heat, light and ultrasound can have a negative effect.

You cannot undergo certain cosmetic procedures for a month.

Neauvia Organic

The contouring preparation, created by a group of Italian and Swiss scientists Neauvia Organic, is obtained from 100% pure hyaluronic acid. Thanks to such a pure composition, the drug is suitable for everyone! The high quality of the product has been recognized in almost 100 countries around the world, including Russia.

This hyaluronic acid is extracted from the bacterium Bacillus Subtilis, which is probiotic and non-pathogenic to humans. The purer the hyaluronic acid, the lower the risk of its rejection by the body. But the effect of contouring also depends on how strong and elastic the hyaluronic acid molecules are “shielded” among themselves. Traditionally, the cross-linking agents BDDE (butanediol diglycidyl ether) or DVS (divinyl sulfone) are used for this purpose. They cannot be used in large quantities. And a low cross-linking agent content reduces the duration and effectiveness of hyaluronic acid in tissues.

The scientists who developed the Newvia Organic line of organic fillers decided to use a new cross-linking agent - PEG (polyethylene glycol) polymer. It is widely known and has long been used in the pharmaceutical and medical markets, is non-toxic, and completely decomposes in tissues. PEG helps the filler stay in the skin for a long time. Does not cause adverse reactions. It is PEG that makes the Newvia Organic line the most biocompatible fillers with the human body. Their tissue rejection is reduced to almost zero. PEG reduces inflammation and granuloma formation.

At certain temperatures that can be reached during procedures in aesthetic hardware cosmetology, such as exposure to laser, ultrasound, and others, traditional hyaluronic acid filler begins to break down. But not Nyuvia fillers. PEG makes the acid much more resistant to heat without limiting the range of aesthetic treatments.

Newvia fillers also have amazing elasticity and plasticity. That is, the ability to change shape and size under the influence of external loads and maintain them or return to their original position. Therefore, each filler in the line adapts to the existing anatomical structures and at the same time maintains the required shape for long-term aesthetic correction. Nuvia fillers are able to create the desired volume without causing compression of surrounding tissue, thus always providing natural-looking results. In addition, there is almost no migration of filler in tissues.

In addition to hyaluronic acid, Newvia Organic contains calcium hydroxyapatite (it is also a component of Radiesse fillers). This naturally occurring mineral triggers the formation of new collagen in the skin. As a result, the density, firmness and elasticity of the skin improves, acquiring the ideal double effect of volume and hydration.

Nyuvia preparations are administered not only to the face area, but are also used to rejuvenate the skin of the hands, feet, other parts of the body, and intimate areas. The result lasts from 15 months to 2 years.

Newvia Organic is prescribed when needed:

• give the skin a healthy and fresh look, velvety;
• increase its natural firmness and elasticity;
• restore tone;
• smooth out small and medium wrinkles;
• rejuvenate the skin of the hands, other parts of the body, intimate areas.

Princess Volume from the manufacturer Croma

Any rights to develop the Princess Volum drug belong to Croma, located in Austria.

For three decades, the company has been studying, developing and selling a wide variety of products that are used in the field of cosmetology for various purposes. It is worth saying that when the manufacturer presented its most important development – ​​lip filler – the company’s popularity became unprecedented.

The Princess Volume product literally blew up the cosmetology market of both the Old and New Worlds. In 2009, an exhibition was held in Monaco, and at it this product was described as “Brand of the Year”.

Princess Volum is a fairly popular drug

Like many other similar products, Princess Volum is based on hyaluronic acid of non-biological origin. It follows from this that the drug can be used without additional allergy tests. Over time, hyaluronate breaks down and leaves the body safely. Thus, the filler we are talking about does not pose any danger to the body.

Note! The advantages of Princess Volume also lie in the fact that the product is suitable for both middle-aged women and young girls who do not like the shape of their lips and face.

The filler we are considering can be perfectly combined with other cosmetic preparations that contain hyaluronic acid. Therefore, Princess Volume can be easily exchanged for fillers of other brands. If you study the statistics summarized in each cosmetology and specific office, few people refuse the drug Princess Volume - on the contrary, many clients seek to replace their previous fillers with this one.

Both professionals and clients love this product

The novelty that the manufacturer has achieved lies in the fact that a special technology for the synthesis of hyaluronate used in this product has been developed. Cosmetologists call it SMART technology. Hyaluronic acid produced by this method is able to find empty spaces between tissue structures. It fills them perfectly as it is distributed evenly.

At the end of the procedure, the client’s skin becomes smooth. Its structures are saturated with natural moisture, as a result of which it turns out to tighten the skin. The result lasts for approximately a year. The skin that has been manipulated looks natural, so it will be completely incomprehensible to an outside observer that the woman used the services of a cosmetologist.

With the help of Princess Volum you can even tighten your skin a little

Advantages of Princess Volume

The love for filler on the part of clients and specialists is due to its following advantages:

• the drug adapts well and is considered universal: manipulations do not cause pain and are performed on people over 18 years of age;
• the filler is compatible with similar products containing hyaluronate;
• the result is very noticeable;
• In fact, there are no complications.

Princess Volume has a lot of advantages

Cosmetologists' opinion

Cosmetologists note the high efficiency of Princess fillers and their quite affordable price, which makes them extremely popular in cosmetology.

The specialist especially distinguishes Princesses Rich from the rest of the collection and notes the results that are achieved during injections:

Reviews about the use of the drug

Anna, Ivanovo

“I paid about 10 thousand for procedures using the drug Princess Volum (used on the lips). There was some swelling, but it went away by the evening. At first it seemed that my lips were too tight, this feeling was embarrassing, but I soon got used to it. I’m very pleased - my lips are plump, beautiful, but everything in moderation. The shape is wonderful. Both me and my husband are delighted!”

Anfisa, Buzuluk

“I used Princess Volume for my lips. Excellent result, everything I wanted! If you are thinking about whether to go to a cosmetologist or not, be sure to go. Just read the reviews about the specialist and the clinic.”

There are many positive reviews about using this product.

Alena, Arkhangelsk

“The procedure with Princess Volum filler was done by my cosmetologist at home. The price was 7 thousand (in cosmetology they put me a price of 15 thousand). The result makes me happy; it lasts for a very long time. But the manipulations themselves were very painful; I could barely sit through it. The hematomas disappeared within a couple of days.”

Price

In our country, only cosmetologists with the appropriate skills are allowed to use Princess Volum.

The price of filler ranges from 9 to 15 thousand rubles.

We will indicate the approximate cost of the procedure in different cities of Russia.

Recovery period

The recommendations are:

• treating injection areas with ice;
• the use of special ointments and creams that promote the resorption of bruises (prescribed by a cosmetologist).

You can apply ice to the injection areas

What not to do:

• strain your muscles for several hours after manipulation;
• use decorative cosmetics for several days;
• apply pressure to the treated areas and massage;
• go to the sauna or bathhouse, sunbathe on the beach, swim in reservoirs for a week and a half.

Avoid exposing your skin to heat for some time.

Comparison with analogues

Princess fillers are unique dermal fillers for rejuvenation. It is worth noting the long period of preservation of the effect (up to a year). The first changes appear just a few hours after the session.

Characteristics of the most popular biogels of other brands:

1. Aquashine is a youth serum with which you can remove a noticeable network of wrinkles in the face, restore elasticity and a healthy tone of the skin. However, this drug is used extremely rarely for lip augmentation. In addition to hyaluronic acid, the filler contains peptides, coenzymes and minerals.
2. Juvederm contains hyaluronate, mannitol and lidocaine. However, this product has a higher price, unlike Princesses.

Adviсe

If you work five days a week, it's best to get your injections on your last day of work as your skin won't be at its best for a while. Unfortunately, this is a side effect that cannot be avoided. So you'll have to stay at home for a couple of days.

Note! To prevent bruising or hematomas, do not take medications that thin your blood for several days.

If your skin is prone to bruising, you should inform your specialist about this. Then, not a needle will be used, but a cannula - this is a special device with a rounded tip that does not damage the structure of the vessel.

It is worth telling a specialist about the characteristics of your skin.

You should leave for the procedure in advance so as not to rush due to possible delay. It is known that stress and running will dilate blood vessels, and this can have a negative effect.

Right before the manipulations, it is recommended to use a topical anesthetic (for example, Emla). Remember that you will have to wait for some time - after all, the drug must work.

Emla is often used

As we already mentioned, the event will take about half an hour (sometimes even less). During the manipulations, the product is placed in the desired areas, due to which the hyaluronate fills all the existing voids. We also talked about the fact that the drug used for the procedure is quite dense, so the cosmetologist will need to knead your skin a little so that the Princess Volume is correctly placed in the tissues.

Important! Only an experienced specialist should knead the skin after using the drug! Under no circumstances do anything like this yourself! Sometimes you can stretch your lips (if unevenness occurs), but before doing this you should ask a cosmetologist for advice.

Doing a facial massage on your own after the procedure is strictly not recommended.

What unpleasant consequences could there be?

In general, serious complications are unusual for this drug. They don't appear that often. For the most part, clients report minor swelling, mild inflammation, and some pain. All these symptoms do not require outside intervention and disappear in about three days.

Unfortunately, sometimes specialists do not have the proper qualifications, and then the consequences are more serious: bruises or bumps form, localized in the place where the needle entered. The reason for this phenomenon is that if the needle is placed too deep, the vessels and nerve bundles are injured. And if the drug is not injected deeply enough, bumps or bumps appear. It is worth saying that the latter is a consequence:

• movement of the drug within tissue structures;
• inflammation in the area where the needle entered;
• the formation of bruises due to injured vessels;
• the presence of a cyst in the tissues.

It is important to contact only experienced specialists

Note! If the bumps are a consequence of the correct procedure, then you can feel them when you touch them, but visually they are completely invisible!

The remaining tubercles are corrected by introducing a special enzyme that provokes the breakdown of hyaluronate. Subsequently, Princess Volume is removed from the treated area. If negative consequences occur due to an infection introduced into the body, this does not mean anything good for the treatment area. You will have to use steroid injections so that the immune system is not so active and the scars resolve.

If the drug is not distributed correctly, it may be withdrawn
