Non-invasive solutions for skin rejuvenation
Nowadays, surgery and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) or Botulinum Toxin injections are the option for many who want to improve facial appearance. But, what happens with those who are not willing to go through these invasive treatments to feel more attractive, or simply wish to complement the effect between sessions? Cosmetics work for all, and Lipotec provides a wide range of actives with proven rejuvenating effects
It is a fact that we all want to live longer but show no evidences of our real age. This implies the need to reduce the natural changes that the passing of the years causes in skin cells. Induced by internal or environmental agents, cellular damage accumulates as we age. These results in alterations that, translated into macroscopic consequences, include dehydration, volume loss, sagginess and fine lines and/or wrinkles. These manifestations define an aged look and can cause concern when they appear on the face, as the face is responsible for those all important first impressions. Rejuvenating facial treatments are currently very trendy and common, especially now that ‘population aging’ is a fact. Operations, nonsurgical procedures and cosmetics are all available to help combat the signs of aging.
Surgical procedures are one of the most extreme options to erase or hide facial aging, but they are often highly invasive and expensive, as well as presenting potential adverse effects. Nonsurgical procedures are a less invasive option that basically includes injectables, laser treatments and abrasion processes. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, more than 8 million treatments with Botulinum Toxin A (in the first place) and HA injections were carried out around the world in 2011, accounting for 61.4% of the nonsurgical procedures. This datum confirmed that the concern about wrinkles and fine lines was so vast that the injections of these two well-known fillers were in more demand than other types of treatment.
A year later in the USA, Botulinum Toxin A injections rose 8% up to 6.1 million versus 2011 and the demand for HA as a soft tissue filler jumped 9% up to 1.4 million procedures (according to the 2012 American Society of Plastic Surgeons report). Recently approved by the FDA to treat crow’s feet, Botulinum Toxin A use is supposed to continue its raising trend in the coming years, as well as the HA tendency. It seems that although regular intervals of application are required and they sometimes can cause adverse effects, Botulinum Toxin A and HA are the main stars when talking about plumping and filling.
Cosmetic products offer a less aggressive alternative for those willing to enhance their youth aspect without invasive treatments, and also for those who want to prolong and complement the effect of HA or Botulinum toxins injections. Lifting, replenishing, redefining,
plumping
and volumising effects are possible, applying topical formulations with specific active ingredients. ARGIRELINE®
peptideis a well known
active with a powerful lifting effect, which in vivoreduced expression wrinkles in just 1 week (volume by 20.6% and length by 15.9%, at 2%). For a replenishing benefit, the biotechnological HYANIFY™
marine ingredientdecreased the maximum depth of the nasogenian folds by 19.6% after 28 days (at 1%). UPLEVITY™
peptidewas found to diminish the
dermal fragmentation rate by nearly 40% in vivo(at 2% solution), which implied dermis restructuration and firmness increase. Also from a biotechnological origin, SEACODE™
marine ingredientreduced lipstick lines by 16.5% in only 1 week (at 2%), causing a visible plumping effect. Finally, HILURLIP®
functional
ingredientsignificantly increased lip volume (by 18%) in a month (at 2%), boosting lip beauty.
These ingredients are the perfect alternative and/or complement to invasive methods to rejuvenate the facial look in the short term.
