Aesthetic medicine has seen a shift of late toward treatments that produce more natural results, with clients seeking less dramatic outcomes. There is a move away from fillers and sculpting; people are asking for cosmetic injectables that naturally restore appearance, moisturise within the skin’s layers, and use the body’s biological processes to do the work. For those in the industry, staying up to date with the latest techniques and treatments is imperative to remain current and maintain a loyal client base. Knowing the basics, such as the differences between bioremodelling and polynucleotides, and other advanced skin rejuvenation techniques, is crucial.
Bioremodeller is a cosmetic injectable that is designed to rejuvenate a person’s appearance using pure hyaluronic acid. Typically used on a person’s face, neck, or other areas where skin’s appearance might be concerning (such as hands or decolletage), Bioremodeller does not change appearance or plump an area, as fillers traditionally do. It acts to remodel skin tissues, tighten skin, and boost elasticity. Improvements can be seen in as little as two weeks and usually last up to six months; however, desired results can build up over time as the product uses organic processes to achieve its effects. Clients can return to work immediately, with treatment sessions only lasting about half an hour.
Bioremodeller acts within the skin to promote elastin and collagen production – something the skin does naturally. Skin is hydrated thanks to hyaluronic acid’s incredible ability to hold water, and over time, elasticity and texture improve while fine lines are minimised. It is a perfect solution for those clients requesting treatments that do not significantly alter their features.
Polynucleotides are another option for clients seeking a more natural treatment for their skin concerns. Polynucleotides work on damaged skin to change a person’s appearance. They are a naturally derived substance (created from salmon and trout DNA) that, like Bioremodeller, improves skin texture and decreases the depth of wrinkles, amongst other benefits. Polynucleotides have been shown to improve the appearance of redness caused by sun damage or eczema, as well as scars and stretch marks, due to their ability to stimulate cell turnover. As with other “bio-stimulators”, polynucleotides encourage collagen production, which helps even out the skin, filling in wrinkles and smoothing its appearance. Unlike fillers, though, once the polynucleotide has done its job, it disappears, leaving no lasting product in the body. While they can be used on any part of the skin, polynucleotides are particularly popular under the eyes because other treatments are not appropriate in this area.
A chemical peel is an aesthetic treatment that removes the outer layers of the skin to reduce unwanted conditions such as actinic keratosis and acne scarring. There are several strengths of chemical peels, and with a light or medium peel, the treatment may need to be repeated to achieve the best results. Due to the damage inflicted, new skin is produced, improving texture and appearance, while discolouration and other flaws, such as large pores or fine lines, are addressed.
At the opposite end of the spectrum to chemical peeling are skin boosters – tiny amounts of hyaluronic acid or other medications, injected just under the skin’s surface to improve hydration and texture. What they give is a dewy, radiant complexion – a refresh without a radical change. The chemical used is thinner and lighter, not heavy and thick as seen in other cosmetic injectables. By stimulating collagen production, results are gradual and subtle; therefore, it might not be immediately noticeable after the first treatment. It is recommended to have several treatments in the initial few months, then regular maintenance treatments once or twice a year.
Because of the techniques used in treatments such as skin boosters, training is essential. Courses must offer live models to practice on, as the methods used to deliver these cosmetic injectables, in particular, differ from those used in traditional medicine, such as vaccinations or cannulations. Placing a tiny amount of medication in the topmost layers of the face’s skin is different to injecting a medicine into a large muscle or finding a vein to administer a prescribed drug. With a real person to work on, attendees can leave the course confident in their abilities to inject. Theoretical knowledge is important, but knowing the practical aspects of administering cosmetic injectables is crucial.
While traditional fillers still have a place in aesthetic medicine, the emerging trend is for natural treatments that work with the body’s own processes. Results are natural, subtle and gradual. Training is important to familiarise practitioners with substances used and the techniques required.
