Full face approach

The “full-face approach” in aesthetics refers to a comprehensive assessment and treatment strategy that considers the entire face as a unified aesthetic unit rather than focusing solely on individual features or areas of concern. It involves evaluating the balance, harmony, and proportions of various facial features to achieve natural-looking and harmonious results.

In the full-face approach, aesthetic practitioners or plastic surgeons assess the facial anatomy, including bone structure, soft tissue volume, skin quality, and dynamic facial expressions, to identify areas of improvement and develop a customized treatment plan. This may involve a combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures tailored to address specific concerns and enhance overall facial aesthetics.

Key principles of the full-face approach in aesthetics include:

• Facial Harmony: Ensuring that facial features are balanced and proportionate with each other to achieve a harmonious appearance. This may involve enhancing or restoring volume in areas of volume loss, refining facial contours, and improving symmetry.
• Natural Results: Prioritizing natural-looking outcomes that enhance the patient’s existing features rather than creating an artificial or overdone appearance. This may involve subtle enhancements that preserve facial expressions and individual characteristics.
• Global Assessment: Evaluating the face as a whole rather than focusing solely on isolated areas or concerns. This allows practitioners to address multiple aspects of facial aging or dissatisfaction comprehensively.
• Customized Treatment Plans: Developing personalized treatment plans based on the patient’s unique facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and preferences. This may involve a combination of procedures such as injectables (e.g., dermal fillers, neurotoxins) referrals for surgical procedures or skincare treatments.
• Long-Term Results: Considering the longevity and sustainability of results over time. This may involve maintenance treatments and skincare regimens to preserve and prolong the benefits of aesthetic interventions.

Microneedling

Microneedling involves creating tiny punctures in the skin with fine needles, which stimulates the skin’s natural healing process. This process triggers the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining skin structure, elasticity, and firmness. Increased collagen production can help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, resulting in smoother and more youthful-looking skin. Furthermore microneedling can help improve the overall texture and tone of the skin by promoting cell turnover and exfoliation. It can reduce the appearance of rough skin, uneven pigmentation, and sun damage, resulting in a more even and radiant complexion.

The micro-channels created by microneedling allow for better penetration and absorption of skincare products, such as serums, moisturizers, and growth factors. This can maximize the effectiveness of these products by delivering them deeper into the skin, where they can exert their beneficial effects.

In addition, microneedling is effective in reducing the appearance of various types of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. The controlled injury to the skin promotes the remodeling of scar tissue, leading to smoother and less visible scars over time.

It is important to mention that  is suitable for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile treatment option for a wide range of individuals. It is minimally invasive and does not involve the use of heat or light, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or other adverse effects commonly associated with certain laser treatments.

While the skin may appear red and slightly swollen immediately after microneedling, these side effects typically subside within a few days. Most people can resume their regular activities shortly after treatment, making microneedling a convenient option for busy individuals.

Biostimulators

Skin biostimulators are substances or treatments that stimulate the skin’s natural regenerative processes, leading to improved skin quality, texture, and firmness. These biostimulators work by enhancing collagen production, promoting cell turnover, and increasing the skin’s hydration levels. They are often used in aesthetic medicine to address signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity.

In Marrelle Aesthetics we use several biostimulators and the choice of using one over the other will be made during the consultation process and will depend on the facial assessment and skin condition.

Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides are molecular chains composed of nucleotides that play fundamental roles in genetics and biological processes and are the latest innovation in aesthetic medicine.

Polynucleotides work on fibroblasts, which are found in connective tissue responsible for producing collagen, elastin, and other proteins that help maintain the skin’s structure and elasticity. When applied to the skin or injected into the dermis, polynucleotides can stimulate fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin, promoting skin regeneration and improving its firmness, texture, and overall appearance.

Polynucleotides can also enhance the activity of fibroblasts by providing them with essential nutrients and signaling molecules necessary for their function. Additionally, they may help modulate the inflammatory response and promote tissue repair, leading to healthier and more rejuvenated skin.

Overall, the action of polynucleotides on fibroblasts can result in enhanced skin regeneration, increased collagen production, improved skin elasticity, and a reduction in wrinkles and other signs of aging. This makes them valuable ingredients in skincare products and aesthetic treatments aimed at rejuvenating the skin and promoting a more youthful appearance.

Profhilo

Profhilo is a type of injectable treatment that is used for skin rejuvenation and hydration. It is composed of a unique formulation of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that is naturally found in the skin and is known for its ability to retain moisture and promote collagen production.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which are designed to add volume to specific areas of the face, Profhilo is classified as a “bio-remodelling” or “biorejuvenation” treatment. This means that it works by stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative processes rather than adding volume.

Profhilo is injected into multiple points on the face in a specific pattern. Once injected, it spreads evenly throughout the skin, providing deep hydration and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This helps improve skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

One of the unique aspects of Profhilo is its ability to deliver long-lasting hydration to the skin, which can last for several months. It is typically administered as a series of two treatments spaced about a month apart, with results becoming noticeable a few weeks after the first treatment and continuing to improve over time.

Profhilo is considered a safe and effective treatment for rejuvenating the skin and is suitable for a wide range of individuals, including those with sensitive skin. However, as with any injectable treatment, it should be performed by a trained and experienced healthcare professional to ensure safety and optimal results.

Sunekos

SuneKos is a type of injectable treatment used for skin rejuvenation and restoration. It is designed to address signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of skin elasticity, by promoting tissue regeneration and collagen production.

SuneKos contains a patented combination of amino acids, hyaluronic acid, and other essential nutrients that work together to stimulate the skin’s natural healing processes. The treatment is administered through a series of injections into the skin, typically in the face, neck, décolletage, or hands.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which primarily add volume to specific areas of the face, SuneKos is classified as a “biostimulatory” treatment. This means that it works by activating the skin’s fibroblasts, which are cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin, essential proteins that maintain skin structure and elasticity.

By stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue regeneration, SuneKos helps improve skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance. It can also enhance skin hydration and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

SuneKos is suitable for all skin types and tones and is often used as a preventative measure to slow down the aging process and maintain youthful-looking skin. It is typically administered as a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, with results becoming noticeable gradually over time.

Viscoderm

Viscoderm is a brand of injectable skin rejuvenation products that are designed to improve skin quality, hydration, and elasticity. These products are composed of a hyaluronic acid-based gel with added nutrients and antioxidants, formulated to provide deep hydration and nourishment to the skin.

Viscoderm injections are typically administered into the superficial or middle layers of the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The hyaluronic acid in Viscoderm helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin, resulting in improved hydration, firmness, and elasticity.

In addition to hyaluronic acid, Viscoderm products may contain other beneficial ingredients such as amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, which provide additional nourishment and support for skin health.

Viscoderm injections can be used to address a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and loss of elasticity. They are often used for facial rejuvenation, but can also be used on other areas of the body such as the neck, décolletage, and hands.

Volite

Volite contains hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain hydration and volume. However, unlike traditional dermal fillers that are used to add volume to specific areas of the face, Volite is classified as a skin booster or skin quality treatment.

When injected into the skin, Volite provides deep hydration and stimulates collagen production, resulting in improved skin texture, elasticity, and overall quality. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin imperfections, leaving the skin looking smoother, plumper, and more radiant.

Volite treatments typically involve a series of injections into the superficial layers of the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The procedure is relatively quick and minimally invasive, with little to no downtime.

Results from Volite treatments are noticeable shortly after the procedure and continue to improve over time as collagen production is stimulated. The effects of Volite can last for several months, with many individuals opting for maintenance treatments to sustain the benefits.

PRP

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, and PRP treatment, also known as PRP therapy or autologous platelet-rich plasma therapy, is a medical procedure used for various purposes, including skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and tissue regeneration.

During a PRP treatment, a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. Platelets are blood cells that contain numerous growth factors and proteins essential for tissue repair and regeneration.

Once the platelet-rich plasma is isolated, it is injected or applied topically to the treatment area. The growth factors and proteins present in PRP stimulate cell growth, collagen production, and tissue regeneration, leading to improved skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance.

PRP treatment is commonly used for the following purposes:

• Skin Rejuvenation: PRP therapy can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, improve skin tone and texture, and enhance overall skin quality.
• Hair Restoration: PRP injections can stimulate hair growth and increase hair density in individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning, such as in male and female pattern baldness or alopecia.
• Tissue Regeneration: PRP therapy is used in orthopedic and sports medicine to promote healing and repair of injured tissues, such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles.

PRP treatment is minimally invasive and typically well-tolerated, as it utilizes the patient’s own blood components. However, it may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results, and individual outcomes can vary.
