BIOREVITALISATION AND BIORESTRUCTURING
A variety of factors (age, genetic heritage, sun exposure, habits and living conditions) are the cause of the skin aging process. The ways in which it manifests itself are manifold and are represented by tangible and inexorable signs:
- Thinning of the skin surface
- Reduction of skin elasticity and flexibility
- Decrease in sebum production
- Discoloration (skin patches)
- Decrease in the number of sweat glands
- Reduction of adipose tissue (emptying of the cheeks)
- Dehydration
The skin progressively ages and shows in an increasingly evident way all the characteristics of a skin that is no longer young: wrinkles, furrows and folds, wrinkles and dryness, dull yellow-greyish complexion, spots and keratoses, fragile capillaries.
Whatever the cause of skin aging, the main reason why all the signs listed above occur, is a reduced capacity of cells to produce collagen, which is the supporting protein of our skin, the scaffolding on which the superficial layers of the skin rest.
This means that over time, not only does a loss of water (dehydration and dryness) and fat (emptying of the cheeks) occur, but also a progressive skin sagging with stiffening of the tissues due to reduced production of young and elastic collagen which is replaced by a qualitatively more rigid and scar-like fibrotic collagen (wrinkles and wrinkles of the face).
There are two broad categories of intervention in Aesthetic Medicine the goal of each being to implement antiaging therapies through which it is possible to stimulate all those repairing and restorative processes that counteract skin aging: Biostimulation and Biorestructuring.
The term Biostimulation identifies a therapy that aims to counteract the natural skin aging process through the supply of specific substances inoculated into the dermis and epidermis in order to reactivate the functionality of the cells responsible for the synthesis of collagen, fibroblasts.
Through Biostimulation it is possible to introduce various substances into the skin that do not temporarily correct a single imperfection (wrinkle), but intervene on the entire treated area (e.g. face, neck or décolleté) to regain turgor, elasticity, tone, compactness, brightness and hydration.
The biostimulating substances are many and act through various mechanisms of action:
- amino acids, growth factors, vitamins, minerals, coenzymes directly stimulate the cells by activating their metabolism and thus promoting a regeneration and production of new collagen.
- vitamins, minerals, coenzymes
- high molecular weight hyaluronic acids directly improve skin trophism and therefore hydration and turgor because they can retain water up to 500 times their volume.
This therapy can be performed using two different techniques:
- The micropuff injection technique consists in the inoculation of small quantities of product in all areas affected by the blemish through a very thin needle that creates micro-deposits similar to many mosquito bites; no marks remain on the face because the micropuffs are reabsorbed within a few minutes (the appearance of small bruises is rare, but possible).
- Dermoelectroporation is a method consisting in transdermal delivery, without the use of needles, of substances that determine skin regeneration: in this case the risk of bruising is completely avoided, and the technique is completely painless.
In any case, cycles of therapy are recommended (4-6 sessions every 7-15 days) to be repeated twice a year.
If, on the one hand, Biostimulation indicates an activation of the biological functions of the skin in order to optimise its physiology with a consequent aesthetic improvement, whereas on the other, we talk about Biorestructuring to indicate a therapy through which we aim to alter the normal skin components to obtain a structural re-compacting that is necessary in that type of skin in which sagging is evident.
For this type of therapy, we proceed with the intradermal introduction of substances through thin needles which, in the space of a few months in 3-6 sessions, can fill the emptied cheeks and correct the folds of the face: it is not a question of a filling due to the inoculated substance as in the case of a filling gel (such as hyaluronic acid filler), the mechanism is completely different!
In this case the cheek fills up thanks to an important and conspicuous regeneration of collagen which forms a compact texture capable of filling the emptied regions and supporting the tissues in which sagging and laxity are noted.
The substances used for Biorestructuring are different (PDRN, polylactic acid, organic silicon) and the indication for the use of each of them depends on the opinion of the doctor whose competence is essential to establish any therapeutic protocol.
Biorestructuring is not achieved solely through the inoculation of substances into the skin, but also through the effect of different instrumental methods: high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), radiofrequency, laser, pulsed light. The result of these methods is initial contraction and subsequent regeneration of collagen, but the different mechanisms of action through which this restructuring effect takes place depend on the most suitable therapy being proposed for each patient based on the specific needs assessed on a case-by-case basis.
