HE AGEING OF THE face is a process that involves every part: from the bones and support structure to various soft tissues1,2
.
Due to bone resorption, more evident in certain areas, the glabellar, pyriform, and maxillary angles appear reduced, which causes the soft tissues to collapse and, the flattening of proportions of the face (Figure 1)3
. However, the earliest and major
cause of changing facial volumes is given by alterations that appear in the compartments of subcutaneous fat. As a matter of fact, if the fat layer turns thinner in an area where its presence is naturally moderate (cheeks, temporal and frontal area) there will be a skeletonization effect; while in other areas, due to gravity as well as a hypotrophy process, the fat will migrate downwards and accumulate, causing folds and
wrinkles. Examples of the latter can be found in the nasolabial fold and the Jowl deformity. There is, therefore, a lack of balance between the skin that has to contain too much and the reduced content (fat), whereby the face loses its three-dimensionality while folds and wrinkles appear. It is necessary to carry out an accurate physiognomic analysis of the face and restore a correct distribution of volumes, working on areas most affected by hypotrophy4
.
What is Biorivolumetria Recently a new method in aesthetic medicine was designed and set up: the Biorivolumetria. This word is a synonym for volumization and regeneration. The aim pursued by this method is to associate simple volumization to regeneration. That is to say, to offer a real anti-ageing treatment5,6
. This is made possible by special
formulations of highly pure hyaluronic acid, free of residual proteins and solvents; and created with an exclusive and patented chemical process. The peculiarity is given by the fact that the hyaluronic acid, cross-linked with BDDE, contains native intercalated hyaluronic acid in different amounts which depend on the formulations. Hence, the cross-linked hyaluronic acid can be compared to a sort of scaffold that protects and contains biointeractive HA7
.
It has been demonstrated that the biointeractive hyaluronic acid, while protected by the scaffold, is released more slowly than the same acid injected into the skin and not protected; this way the
stimulation of receptors
performed by the acid is prolonged8,9
. In addition, due to the
native HA, these products are particularly elastic, meaning that they have the ability to adapt to a three dimensional space. These properties make it possible for Biorivolumetria products to precisely follow the mimics of the face, making natural corrections.
What is actually stimulated? Numerous studies show that the hyaluronic acid interacts with specific receptors, the CD44, which can be found on the surface of various cells, such as the fibroblasts and the mesenchymal stem cells in adipose tissues10–13
