Unfortunately, we do not have a magical means of immortality to prevent our own aging, but effective methods have long existed to help us look young for a long time. We will not list in this article all the options for maintaining the health and beauty of the skin, but will focus on one of them, which is called radio frequency lifting. Its effectiveness has been proven, and this technology is used in many beauty salons. Lifting has many benefits. It can be used on all areas of the skin to quickly correct existing imperfections.

What is radiofrequency lifting

Girls who are interested in their appearance know that the function of collagen, which is produced by fibroblasts, is to maintain the firmness and elasticity of the skin. With age, the process of cell renewal slows down. Elastin and collagen begin to be produced worse. The skin becomes covered with a network of wrinkles and sags.

What is radiofrequency face and body lifting ? This is the effect of electrical discharges on the dermis, after which the cells begin to more actively produce collagen.

The main task of modern hardware cosmetology is to create effective, but at the same time comfortable and painless procedures. Thirty years ago, the first lifting devices practically burned the face, but today the specialist only lightly touches the surface of the skin without causing discomfort.

Features of the procedure

During heating with high frequency currents, intense destruction of protein tissue and strengthening of collagen fibers occurs. Despite the fact that the current damages the latter, this leads to the formation of new cells that actively replace old ones.

In addition to enhancing collagen restoration, fat cells are destroyed and blood circulation is increased. Thanks to this, facial wrinkles are smoothed out and the appearance of the skin improves.

Operating principles

To obtain a positive result, two principles of action are used:

Diathermy. It heats up the tissue. The substance that carries the current contains heat. In tissues with high resistance, the thermal effect is especially strong. These include fat and skin. Devices based on this operating principle have metal electrodes.
UHF. This technique allows tissue to be heated using an electromagnetic field. The mechanism of action is similar to the operation of a microwave: the molecules change their location with the same frequency as the electromagnetic field. Such devices use electrodes coated with a dielectric.

When using this type of lifting, the skin and layers underneath are heated at temperatures up to 50 degrees. Collagen fibers turn into spirals, create a strong frame, and maintain intercellular connections.

Under the influence of high temperature, fat dissolves and is excreted physiologically. Therefore, we can talk about a lipolytic lifting effect.

Radiofrequency lifting and thermage are not the same thing

Thermage is a rejuvenating hardware procedure. Its essence is the effect of radio frequency waves, which locally heat areas of the skin. The temperature at the treatment site rises to +60 °C.

The table shows the distinctive features of Thermage and radiofrequency lifting:

What devices are used for radiofrequency lifting?

Now it is difficult to imagine that the first devices consisted of two electrodes that were simply attached to the skin. During the session, it was difficult to regulate the heating level, so redness, burns and swelling occurred after the procedure. In modern clinics, such monopolar devices for radiofrequency lifting are no longer used, since more high-tech ones have been developed.

Multipolar machines - have several electrodes, two work simultaneously, then switch automatically.
Bipolar devices allow you to act effectively and carefully. If a woman comes for the procedure with very dry skin and hidden imperfections, she can also undergo a rejuvenating course with a bipolar device.
Combined devices are a new generation of multipolar lifting devices.

They are equipped in accordance with the requirements of the time:

multipolar electrode;
unipolar electrode;
infrared laser radiation;
vacuum pump, which allows you to act locally.

Improvement of blood circulation in the skin occurs already at the stage of working with a vacuum pump. Fibroblasts “wake up” and begin to actively produce collagen and elastin.

Features of aging facial skin

None of us can escape aging. Although this is a natural process, awareness of this fact does not make it pleasant. It seems like just recently we admired our bright blush and delicate, soft, elastic skin in front of the mirror. And now she is dull, pale and covered with wrinkles.

Girls begin to notice age-related changes from the age of 25 (if heredity is not very good, then earlier). Why is this happening?

Cells renew themselves more slowly, so the stratum corneum of the skin becomes thicker.
The collagen and elastin fibers that support the framework of our skin change. They become thin, rough, stretch, and perform their function much worse than before.
Gaps form in the protective hydrolipidic layer. Because of this, natural moisture in the skin is retained worse.
Substances (collagen, hyaluronic acid, lipids), which are extremely necessary for the skin, are produced more slowly, but are quickly consumed.
The protective functions of the skin become weaker. In this regard, it is more difficult for her to deal with the aggressive influence of the external environment.

Internal violations accumulate, over time they come out and become obvious. They are expressed by the following characteristics:

dullness of the skin;
loss of smoothness and elasticity;
the appearance of the first wrinkles (day by day there are more of them, they become deeper);
formation of dark circles and bags under the eyes;
changing the oval of the face;
the appearance of a double chin.

Advantages and disadvantages of radiofrequency lifting

Let's look at why radiofrequency (or RF) lifting is a modern replacement for plastic surgery in the fight against skin aging.

Here are the main advantages of this technology:

effective for all skin types, the procedure can be done from 18 years of age;
The session goes quickly, lasting about half an hour;
compatible with other skin care methods;
passes without pain and discomfort;
can be performed without prior preparation;
after the session there are no scars, burns, swelling, the skin does not require a recovery period.

The following can be considered disadvantages:

high price for radiofrequency face lifting;
there is a chance of getting to an inexperienced cosmetologist and getting burns if he works with a monopolar device;
There is little information about the effect of radiofrequency pulses on the entire body.

Like other cosmetic procedures, radiofrequency lifting has contraindications that are worth paying attention to.

Benefits of a non-surgical facelift

Everyone knows that facial plastic surgery is an intervention in its tissues through surgery. This method is aimed at correcting defects not with conventional injections, but with the use of a scalpel. Not every woman is ready to do this. After all, wounds can take a long time and painfully to heal after surgery, and the result is not always impressive.

The main advantage of a non-surgical facelift, reviews of which are mostly positive, lies in the very principle of the method. This procedure represents therapeutic trauma to the inner and outer layers of the skin. But, unlike surgical intervention, after this method, the fibers of the main connective tissue (collagen, elastin and molecular chains of hyaluronic acid) are regenerated and continue to perform their functions. Similar methods also include: creams, masks, gels, massagers. These methods of non-surgical facial skin tightening are not at all dangerous.

Pros:

Availability. Most people can afford a face lift, with the exception of those for whom it is contraindicated (pregnant, breastfeeding, cancer patients, patients with bleeding disorders and those with untreated infectious diseases).
Safety. Minimal likelihood of side effects compared to plastic surgery. The only concern after the procedure may be swelling of the area where the manipulation was performed and peeling of the skin during the healing period.
No visible or invisible consequences on the face. There are no scars left on the body after complete healing. In addition to the fact that lifting does not leave any traces behind, it has a beneficial effect on the speed of blood flow and vascular health. Small toxins are actively removed from the body.
Fast action. Surgery requires a long recovery period. Lifting provides quick results.
Youth for many years. High-quality products have a long-lasting effect that will last for many years.

Indications and contraindications for radiofrequency lifting

A course of radiofrequency (RF) lifting helps to correct many age-related skin changes. Any woman, looking at herself in the mirror, can assess the condition of the dermis and come for a consultation with a cosmetologist. After examination, the specialist will determine whether this procedure is necessary.

Lifting may be useful if you have the following problems:

age and expression wrinkles;
the corners of the eyes and mouth drooped;
imperfections and defects of the dermis that require treatment and rehabilitation;
folds have formed at the nasolabial triangle;
the oval of the face blurs and loses its shape;
a double chin appeared;
dark circles and bags under the eyes;
very dry and flabby skin, low tone;
scars, scars, pockmarks, rosacea, post-acne;
sagging skin or ptosis;
“orange peel” cellulite;
aging of the dermis in different parts of the body: décolleté, neck, face, hips, abdomen, buttocks;
stretch marks after sudden weight loss or after childbirth.

How radiofrequency lifting works, look at the before and after photos:

Experts disagree about the minimum age threshold at which this procedure can be performed. The reviews here are very different. Some consider it possible to do sessions even for twenty-year-olds as a preventive measure for skin aging. For others it seems premature. They advise using such radical methods only if there are serious deficiencies that cannot be eliminated in any other way.

All cosmetologists consider it acceptable and effective to carry out such procedures after 30–35 years, up to 55–60 years (even at this age you can get good results, however, the course will have to be completed several times).

The consequences of radiofrequency lifting can be serious and unpredictable if contraindications are neglected:

the presence of metal or silicone implants anywhere in the body;
the client’s young age, less than 20 years, with the exception of solving problems that cannot be influenced by other means;
presence of a hearing aid or pacemaker;
open skin lesions - cuts, ulcers, burns, wounds;
hypertonic disease;
skin systemic diseases;
pathologies of the thyroid gland, diabetes mellitus;
inflammation of the skin of any origin;
oncological problems;
autoimmune pathologies;
any chronic diseases in the acute phase or seasonal infectious diseases;
taking certain medications: sulfonamides, hormonal drugs, anticoagulants, antibiotics;
period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
days of menstruation;
low blood clotting.

Such a large list indicates that a preliminary consultation with a cosmetologist must be carried out without fail. The responsibility here is mutual.

There are absolute contraindications that serve as a ban on performing ultrasonic radiofrequency lifting, and some are only a temporary restriction.

Benefits and harms

Radio wave lifting is not beneficial for general health. It gives a pronounced aesthetic effect, fights age-related skin changes and is safer than plastic surgery. But still, this technique is based on a traumatic effect on cells. Therefore, I advise you to resort to it in extreme cases. Healthy sleep, exercise and proper nutrition will do more for you.

How does the radiofrequency lifting procedure work?

The first stage is facial cleansing. Complete removal of dirt and makeup residues. Not a single procedure is complete without this stage. You need to wash your face thoroughly using a soap solution.

The second stage is applying markings. This is necessary so that the specialist knows exactly where the treatment has already been carried out.

The third stage directly depends on the type of device. At this step, conductive gel is applied if necessary.

The fourth stage is the procedure itself. The specialist sequentially passes through all areas of the skin, lingering on each one to warm up.

The fifth stage is processing. Upon completion, a gel or special soothing lotion is applied.

Depending on the surface being treated, the session can last from twenty minutes to an hour. A specialist will spend 40 minutes on RF face lifting, treating the area from the nose to the chin will take half an hour, and treating the shoulders of both arms will take 30–40 minutes.

A full course can last from four to twelve sessions with a break of five or even seven days.

Radiofrequency lifting: possible consequences

The procedure for radiofrequency body and face lifting is characterized by the absence of negative side effects and complications. Safety confirmed by preliminary studies. Of course, taking into account contraindications. But no specialist can guarantee 100% that something unexpected will not happen later.

Attention! The human body is a very complex system. Some internal changes do not manifest themselves externally for a long time, but any procedure, even the most harmless one, can trigger pathological processes. Allergies may appear for no apparent reason. Then you will definitely have to give up lifting and switch to other anti-aging technologies.

The following manifestations have been noted, usually passing quickly:

slight swelling;
tingling and mild itching;
redness in the treatment area.

Usually, after a few hours or a maximum of two to three days, the normal condition of the skin is restored.

If the symptoms persist and bother you, then it is better not to delay your visit to the specialist who performed the fractional radiofrequency lifting session.

Sometimes you can observe a complete lack of results for a client. Such a negative consequence is possible if the patient is over 60 years old, the initial condition of the skin was poor before the procedure, inappropriate equipment was used, or the manipulation was performed by a cosmetologist with low qualifications.

Some experts express the opinion, although it is not confirmed by research, that the opposite effect is possible after completing a radiofrequency lifting course. This means that the skin will not look young for a long time, but, on the contrary, the aging process will go faster in a short period of time.

However, it was not possible to prove that the acceleration of the skin aging process occurred due to the lifting procedures performed.

Fractor procedure using the INMODE device

INMODE FRACTORA has two 60 pin handsets (60 needles), the needle length is 1 millimeter. They penetrate very shallowly and they even out the microrelief of the skin very well and work on superficial wrinkles and sagging skin. They work well, just superficially.

Here is a manipulator with 24 needles - called 24 pin. Their length is 3 mm and this manipulator works very well for reducing the skin area. That is, if we need to shrink the skin, remove sagging and work with post-acne spots, post-acne scars. This needle works especially well on chipped scars, with which other methods do not work very effectively. In this case, this handpiece and INMODE FRACTORA are an excellent alternative to laser

This is not just an alternative to laser, it is probably the best replacement for laser. So we looked, Lyudmila Eduardovna has pronounced flabbiness. The skin tone is very reduced, but this is in principle logical, given the patient’s age. Therefore, if we want to achieve maximum effect, we need to apply those techniques that will give the maximum result at a time, and INMODE FRACTORA gives such a result.

About equipment for cosmetology procedures

The device I work on is Israeli, it’s called INMODE. It has several handpieces with different functions. Today we will do Fractor - this is a radiofrequency ablative lifting. Facelift.

There is lumecca - this is photorejuvenation. It is for removing age spots, it works well. It works very well with blood vessels, removes spider veins and redness on the face. This is work with rosacea and rosacea.

There is also a diode laser that works well on hair darker than medium brown, not on very dark skin - an ideal candidate for this type of hair removal. We also have a rather interesting attachment for those who are too early to do micro-needle RF lifting or for some reason cannot do it. Then needleless thermolifting works very well.

Needleless thermolifting is a classic! They have been using it for a long time regarding micro-needling lifting. For many years. Microneedle lifting is a fairly new technique and has existed for only a few years, while needleless thermolifting is 3-4 times longer. It is also aimed at improving the quality of the skin, reducing the area of the skin, it just has a milder effect, and if the skin is young and you want to freshen up your face a little, then at the age of 28-29 you can safely use needleless thermolifting and the result will be good. A course of 5-6 procedures, even from 3 to 6 depending on the situation, with a difference between procedures of 1 week.

If we are talking about micro-needle thermolifting, then of course there are more serious indications. These could be young people who have problems on their faces: post-acne and chipped scars, impaired skin texture and it is very difficult to use anything (procedure) to bring the skin to the desired state, with a smoother texture and a more even skin color.

When there is sagging, when it feels like the tissues on the face have slid down a little, micro-needle RF works as a preparation for thread techniques. With it you can quickly remove sagging skin with a minimum number of micro-needle RF lifting procedures. Microneedling RF gives a good effect when it is enhanced by biorevitalization, plasma lifting, peptides and other drugs.

Cosmetologist's work

This is an ideal option, because ablation, whatever it is, has a negative effect on the skin and we expect the skin to regenerate and recover. So, of course, she must have some potential. And in order to give this potential to our skin, we must give positive stimulation, so to speak, feed our skin a little and set its cells to work properly. And these are peptides, biorevitalization and plasma lifting.

The purpose of micro-needle RF lifting is not rejuvenation, but to stretch out the scars on the face, tighten the face because there are very pronounced chipped scars and it is very difficult to remove them with a laser, it is impossible to fill them with anything, and as a rule, such patients suffer from year to year trying to do something then do it. Of course, there are techniques, this is TCA cross-peeling. Now it is banned in Russia due to its 100% acid content. Therefore, if there are chipped scars after acne, pits on the cheeks (lipoatrophy), then micro-needle RF lifting is an ideal option.

It is the 3 mm needles that are very good at pulling out chipped and crater-shaped scars. One RF microneedling treatment is better than multiple resurfacings. And of course, in the case of scars, we do not stop only at hardware procedures. We supplement with other techniques, most often injections, which help restore tissue. There is also a more superficial effect, in order to also improve the quality of the skin in the eyelid area, in the forehead area, they are carried out with small 1 mm needles.

Recommendations for skin care before and after radiofrequency lifting

What a client undergoing a course of procedures needs to remember:

All metal objects, jewelry, and contact lenses must be removed for the duration of the session;
You should protect your skin from direct sunlight, do not sunbathe or visit a solarium for at least three days after lifting;
Avoid any other types of care in the treatment area;
Do not take anti-inflammatory medications for a week or more after the procedure;
It is advisable not to touch the skin with your hands at the site of exposure;
As a supportive measure, increase your vitamin C intake.

It is necessary to avoid visiting the solarium, bathhouse, and not to peel the skin immediately before the lifting session. The dermis should be clean, without makeup.

Radiofrequency lifting is good to combine with mesotherapy, which helps relieve stress and nourish the skin with antioxidants.

The rejuvenating effect will be more noticeable if the next day after the procedure you perform a lymphatic drainage massage that removes excess intercellular fluid.

Injection facelift methods

With the help of injections you can get rid of even deep wrinkles. The most popular procedures: mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasma lifting, Botox injections.

Skin aging occurs due to the fact that collagen and hyaluronic acid are produced in smaller quantities. This problem comes with age. On the face it manifests itself as follows: changes in skin color, loss of elasticity, plasticity and the appearance of wrinkles. These troubles can be overcome with injections.

They successfully cope with such aesthetic skin defects as:

the appearance of facial wrinkles;
change in facial contour due to loss of elasticity;
color change;
dryness and flaking;
excess fat, which causes acne, blackheads, etc.

Injections to improve skin condition are not cheap. The high price of a non-surgical facelift with injections is associated with the quality of the drugs, their cost, as well as the professionalism of the cosmetologist who carries out such procedures.

Minimum prices:

mesotherapy – from 3,000 rubles;
biorevitalization – from 6,000 rubles;
fillers – from 9,000 rubles;
Botox – from 500 rubles per unit.

Contraindications to injections:

chronic diseases in the acute stage;
acute respiratory infections, ARVI;
exacerbation of herpes;
the presence of keloid scars;
feverish condition;
oncology;
poor blood clotting;
insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus;
individual sensitivity to the components of the drug.

Such procedures are not recommended during pregnancy and lactation.

Techniques that involve injections are carried out through a puncture of the skin with the introduction of the drug into the tissue. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure proper preparation for them.

You need to follow the recommendations:

stop drinking alcohol and smoking 2-3 days before the procedure;
Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen or other medications that cause dilation of blood vessels.

Actions of the cosmetologist before the procedure:

Cleansing the skin of makeup.
Treating the face with an antiseptic solution.
Anesthetize the desired areas by applying a lidocaine-based gel.

For the best results, there are exact instructions on what to do after the procedure. Cosmetologists can give different recommendations, depending on the drug. But there are also general rules.

Within 2 weeks after injections it is prohibited:

apply decorative cosmetics, as well as masks and creams that have not been approved by a specialist;
steam in a sauna or steam bath;
go to the solarium and sunbathe in the sun;
drink alcohol.

There may be bruises, lumps, pain when touched and pressed, and slight swelling at the puncture site for 1–3 days.

There are cases where women experienced headaches during the procedure. Any symptoms should be reported to a cosmetologist.

Fillers

Thanks to fillers, you can perform a non-surgical tightening of the facial skin, correct its oval, get rid of deep wrinkles and creases, and add volume to the cheekbones and nose.

The preparations have a gel texture. The effect is comparable to plastic surgery. The most important advantage is that they do not affect facial expressions.

Main components of fillers:

purified silicone (harmful with a large number of side effects, prohibited in Europe and the USA);
collagen of animal origin or purified human;
hyaluronic acid.

Recently, technology has emerged for injecting the patient’s own fat as a filler, but it is very complex. Fat is removed in sufficient quantities during liposuction. Then the material is processed in several stages and distributed under the skin of the face. It's expensive, but worth it. This drug does not cause side effects, and the results last for six months or longer.

All fillers have a different consistency. The most highly qualified professionals work with dense textures. It is difficult to distribute them evenly under the skin so as not to form lumps and bumps. But the result can be seen immediately, and it lasts much longer.

We recommend

Laser hair removal of the abdomen: contraindications, features of the procedure and care
More liquid filler consistencies are distributed easily and lie evenly. The result is noticeable almost instantly.

The effect of fillers lasts 6–12 months. Recommended for use by women aged 35–50 years.

Botulinum toxin

Preparations with this component do an excellent job of treating wrinkles. They affect the nerve endings of the muscles, block them, and the tissues relax. As a result, the facial skin is smoothed. The results from this procedure last 6–12 months. Then you need to repeat the session.

The effect will be visible over time, within 2 weeks after botulinum toxin injection.

During the procedure it is prohibited:

bend over for several hours after the injection;
touch puncture sites on the skin;
take antibiotics and drink alcohol for 2 weeks.

The first day you need to observe the activity of facial expressions.

The main drugs with botulinum toxin:

"Botox" (USA);
"Xeomin" (Germany);
"Dysport" (France).

They differ in different concentrations of the main substance and the presence or absence of additional protein complexes. Such injections are recommended for women over 30 years of age.

Biorevitalization

This is the introduction of hyaluronic acid-based preparations into the deep layers of the skin. Additionally, peptides, plant extracts, etc. can be added to the injection (at the discretion of the specialist).

Biorevitalization helps restore skin, replenish vitamin reserves, deeply moisturize and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin by body tissues.

This procedure consists of a course of injections. It includes 3 procedures, with a break between them of 2–3 weeks.

The effect depends on the age and individual characteristics of the body. For some, one session is enough, while for others it takes some time for the cells to wake up and continue to function.

The more age-related changes a woman has, the more pronounced the result will be. A few days after the procedure, the cells will begin to produce collagen, and wrinkles will begin to smooth out. After a few weeks, the skin defects will completely disappear.

It won't happen that you wake up the next day and the wrinkles will disappear. This process requires at least a week. However, after the first session you will see a refreshed and more youthful face.

Biorevitalization promotes:

getting rid of puffiness;
reduction of dark circles under the eyes;
smoothing out wrinkles;
lightening pigmentation;
return of a healthy complexion;
skin smoothing.

The injections act gradually over 3-4 weeks, the effect lasts up to 6 months.

Then it is enough to carry out the procedure once every 2-3 months. You need to monitor the frequency of repetitions not only by the period of time, but also by the condition of the skin. Biorevitalization is prescribed by a specialist to girls over 25 years old.

Mesotherapy

This is another type of injectable skin care. It happens as follows: meso-cocktails consisting of a set of vitamins are injected into the deep layers of the skin with a syringe with a thin needle. They nourish, moisturize and tone the skin, help get rid of signs of fatigue, restore elasticity and normal sebum production. The procedure will be especially useful after summer. On hot days, the face is actively exposed to ultraviolet radiation for several months.

A mesotherapy session can be performed at home. For the procedure you will need a mesoscooter, an antiseptic, an anesthetic gel and a mesococktail. This can be bought at a pharmacy.

This procedure takes 4–6 sessions with breaks of 2–3 weeks. Can be done from a young age, from 20 years.

Plasmolifting

During this procedure, platelet-rich plasma is injected. The active substance is taken from the patient’s own blood. Therefore, it is native to the body, and there is almost no risk of rejection. There are almost never any side effects.

During plasma lifting, shallow (up to 3 mm) punctures are made in certain areas of the face, through which the resulting drug is injected under the skin. Thanks to this, skin elasticity noticeably increases, fine wrinkles are smoothed out, and complexion is restored.

This procedure takes place in several stages:

The patient prepares himself at home.
Blood is collected and then prepared in a special centrifuge (at this point plasma is released, which is then enriched with platelet mass).
The resulting substance is injected into the areas of the skin where the problem is detected.

The most important stage of plasma lifting is the preparatory stage, it should not be missed. The final result depends on how good the preparation is.

A few days before the procedure, you need to adjust your diet. Avoid fatty, fried, salty and spicy foods. Do not drink alcohol. Substances that are part of alcohol negatively affect the quality of blood, changing its composition.

You need to drink the required amount of fluid, consume at least 2 liters per day. It is important that it is clean drinking water.

Facial skin care remains unchanged. But it is better not to do aggressive cleansing, masks, or deep peeling a few days before plasma lifting.

This method of rejuvenation is carried out only in the clinic. Since a competently performed procedure requires special equipment and qualified specialists.

First, the patient's venous blood is taken (this is similar to a regular blood test from a vein). After it is placed in a centrifuge, plasma is released in it.

The facial skin is then treated with an antiseptic to prevent the risk of infection. This technique is minimally invasive, but the skin and soft tissue are still slightly damaged. However, this is enough for bacteria to enter the body.

Then comes the injection stage. The number and location of injections may vary. The procedure is painful and lasts about half an hour. At the end, the patient needs to rest a little, then he can go home.

For the greatest effectiveness of plasma lifting, you must follow the following recommendations:

Blood sampling should be done on an empty stomach.
You should not overeat on the eve of the procedure. It’s better to have dinner with foods that are easy to digest, or you can eat nothing at all.
After the procedure, the patient needs several days to recover (usually 3–5 days). At this time, you should protect your skin as much as possible from exposure to UV radiation, as well as extreme temperatures.
Do not use decorative cosmetics for several days during rehabilitation.
Repeat sessions every 2 weeks (a total of 5-6 procedures will be needed).

If you decide to undergo such a procedure, you need to find a salon or clinic that uses only certified original drugs. The personnel should consist only of qualified specialists who can help with choosing the appropriate procedure and select the composition and volume of the drug. Cosmetologists should be focused on obtaining the result you need, avoid negative consequences and emphasize your individual facial features using injection rejuvenation methods.
