After a first part of the year rich in anti-aging medicine congresses, I propose to take stock of global trends and present them to you on the GliSODin blog.
The difference between cosmetic medicine and cosmetic surgery can sometimes be confusing. Most cosmetic surgeons practice aesthetic medicine and these two specialties come together with the emergence of new techniques . Aesthetic medicine is aimed at patients looking for gentler medical techniques , limited to superficial tissues, and wishing to circumvent general anesthesia, immobilization and the consequences resulting from surgery.
A trend is taking hold in aesthetic practices, that of offering less and less invasive procedures .
New approaches in injection techniques make it possible to rebalance volumes, sculpt the contours of the face, and even correct certain less harmonious features. A few years ago, these remodelings required corrective surgery. Now it is possible to rework the shape of a receding nose or chin without resorting to invasive surgery. The reshaping of the nose is to be classified as one of the first concerns of the patients. Today it can be corrected in some cases without going through surgery. Indeed a small bump to be erased, a point to go up or down, a slight asymmetry will be corrected by an injection of hyaluronic acid: minimal pain for immediately visible results.
The big request from patients for this season in medicine and cosmetic surgery is to stay beautiful naturally! The techniques for working the oval of the face are evolving and diversifying. The approaches combine and combine to obtain the best result on the sculpture of the face and its appearance.
Barbed threads or tensor threads were already in demand in 2018, and their success is only being confirmed. Whether on the face or the body, they make it possible to correctly reposition an area that has slackened. To find a radiant and younger face, there is now energy mesolifting. It is practiced with mesotherapy (local and superficial injections), fruit acids for a mini-peeling and vitamins. In 30 minutes, the face is rejuvenated, plumped, toned. HIFU is a treatment that has emerged recently and is intended to combat sagging facial skin.. It uses High Intensity Focused Ultrasound or HIFU. It is a very safe medical technique, the subject of numerous scientific publications, and approved by the FDA – Food and Drug Administration).
Non-surgical procedures are on the rise and medical cryolipolysis is still very popular for melting stubborn fat. The surgery is also progressing. Breast reshaping is a technique that is evolving with the ambition of gaining comfort and safety. On the market appeared light prostheses in cohesive silicone gel and unbreakable (resistant to a pressure of 5 tons).
Made-to-measure arrived several seasons ago in medical cosmetics. The principle is to design specifically for each patient according to their skin type, their phototype and their medico-aesthetic care the most suitable formula, cream, serum (thanks to Ioma Sphere type measurements or algorithm and patient questionnaires …).
Micro-needle techniques have been in vogue for three years: they consist of creating micro-perforations on the skin using a tip that contains a few dozen very fine needles. The skin is forced to repair itself and create new collagen. The results: more radiant skin, a marked reduction in scars and fine lines and wrinkles (after several sessions).
The use of combined treatments for aesthetic medicine is gradually becoming obvious. The global and 360 degree approach is more and more sought after to complete the treatments. During the last international congress of aesthetic medicine in Paris, the nutraceutical session brought together a packed room of doctors listening to new scientific advances. Oral use of natural active ingredients to prevent, protect and correct is gaining more legitimacy every day. GliSODin is a pioneer in the clinical and scientific research of food supplements and their benefits for the health and beauty of the skin.
Editor Thomas Josse : From an early age, I understood that I had an attraction for images and beauty. This impulse allowed me to create in 2014 one of the first blogs mixing a philosophical and scientific pen, but always inspired, to provide answers and establish a new dialogue between the general public, medicine and cosmetic surgery. After a few meetings, I decided in 2015 to create my agency to cover several missions ranging from the creation to the management of the practitioner's image on the web, but also the presence of industrialists – congresses on social media. I also take part in conferences of learned societies – workshops – to make practitioners and assistants aware of the importance of social media in their activities.
