Flagging skin
The genetic programming of the organism is cruel and nobody manages to stop the clock. There are some possibilities of slowing the process. These involve attempts to replace the old collagen tissue with new. This can be very successful.
In Asklepion the revolution of rejuvenation of the skin is achieved with the use of lasers Vbeam, GentleYAG and Smoothbeam. This machine is called by a nick name as the „Fountain of youth”. Thanks to these rays the collagen in the deeper layer of skin shrinks, the old filaments are absorbed and in six weeks new ones start to form, which are more elastic. The therapy is not demanding, has got hardly any side effects, and there is marked aesthetic improvement. The Erbium laser is also suitable for skin rejuvenation. The other approach to renew collagen under the skin, are therapies with machine Omnilux. They are especially important for the prevention and the first signs of aging.
The wrinkles, which are formed on aging skin, can be diminished with filling materials and injections with filling substances. The different substance will have individual effects, from the shortest of 3 months to the permanent effect.
The other possibility is the elimination by the application of botulin toxin (Dysport or Botox). When injected it prevents nerve to muscle communication and inhibits the spasm and formation of the lines. The effect lasts four or more months, and the procedures can be repeated.
Marked regeneration and rejuvenation can be achieved with chemical peeling. At Asklepion we offer to clients the classical dermatological peeling based on the basis of glycolic acid actions. The results are nearly comparable to the surgical therapy.
Surgical methods, which are used to reverse the effects of aging, include so called feather-lift or classical plastic surgery i.e. face lift and neck lift. In the former the skin is infiltrated by local anaesthetic and the „threads” are introduced under the skin which is stretched. The convalescence is only a few days. The classical face or neck lifts require heavy sedation or general anaesthetic and one or two days of hospital admission. There should be about fourteen days of convalescence.
It is important to fight the process from the youth time with the high quality cosmetic products and regular care. Asklepion offers various special programmes and therapies associated with the world leading products, Orlane and Decleor.
