How often should I touch up my aesthetic procedures?

Aesthetic procedures are available to us to improve, soften or modify physical and aesthetic aspects of our face and body that we don’t like.

Several of these procedures, over time, began to be retouched and this is one of the main doubts among patients who resort to operations.

Therefore, in this article I will clarify what touches are needed in some of the main aesthetic interventions, as well as how long you need to wait to carry them out.

In this article you will discover the touch-up intervals for the following procedures:

• Botulinum toxin
• Fill
• Skin booster
• Collagen biostimulators
• Good reading!

Botulinum toxin

A botulinum toxin, well known as botox It is a local substance produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum that has the power to paralyze the movement of muscles in the place where it is applied.

When used for aesthetic purposes, a botulinum toxin helps prevent or eliminate wrinkles when applied to the facial muscles.

The first effects of the application begin to appear after 2 or 3 days, with a progressive paralysis of the muscle, and the peak of action and stabilization of the effect appears after 15 days. It is important to highlight that this blockage is transient and the duration of the substance in the body varies greatly. Consequently, wrinkles return to the face gradually.

In general, the duration of the effects of botulinum toxin application is 3 to 6 months. However, variations such as the absorption power in each organism, the patient’s lifestyle habits and post-procedure care can increase or decrease this time.

Furthermore, it is recommended that the first touch-up be carried out within the first 15 days after the procedure.

Facial Filler

When we think about combating the signs of aging, we generally don’t remember techniques such as botox . However, it is important to keep in mind that this procedure is only responsible for reducing expression wrinkles, such as crow’s feet.

In other words, if the wrinkles are deeper, as is the case with the Chinese mustache, botox will not be able to provide satisfactory results.

And this is where aesthetic fillers come into play. In addition to combating deep and permanent wrinkles, filler treatment is also highly recommended for:

• Fill in deep grooves, like the line that appears between the eyebrows;
• Recover or add volume to the lips;
• Reduce dark circles;
• Replenish lost facial volume, especially in the cheekbones, jaw and temples,
• Redefine the facial contour, giving a more youthful and rested appearance;
• Rejuvenate hands and disguise protruding veins;
• Rhinomodeling, a technique that uses fillers to correct defects in the nose.

This substance is widely accepted by our body, which eliminates the risk of adverse reactions. Furthermore, hyaluronic acid attracts water molecules, leaving the skin more hydrated and vibrant. After a period of 12 months, the procedure must be repeated to guarantee results.

Skin Booster

Skinbooster is a treatment that seeks to restore skin hydration through the application of hyaluronic acid in the deepest layers of the dermis.

Once applied, this substance can attract water molecules, forming a water reservoir. This promotes skin hydration, stimulates collagen production and, consequently, improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, restoring vibrancy, softness and elasticity to the face. However, it is worth mentioning that Skinbooster does not have a filling effect!

The procedure can be carried out on different parts of the body such as lips, cheeks, around the eyes, neck, chest, back of hands, barcodes, acne scars, or on any skin that requires powerful hydration, as which brings results that are far superior to night creams, which only act on the most superficial layer.

The effect of Skinbooster lasts an average of 8 months, however this period may vary depending on each person’s skin and age.

Collagen biostimulators

Collagen Bio-Stimulators are substances that, when applied to the face, can stimulate the production of new collagen fibers. In this way, it helps to improve the appearance of the face, the signs of aging, minimizing sagging and providing more vibrant and uniform skin.

Because they are compatible with our body, Collagen Bio-Stimulators do not present a health risk, which ends up contributing to a progressive and rejuvenating result for the body.

The technique is widely used especially for the treatment of sagging, both on the face and body, resulting in very natural results. Among the most popular areas to receive treatment with collagen biostimulators are the neck, arms, abdomen, inner face of the arms, inner face of the thighs, knees, buttocks and back of the hands.

It is recommended that collagen biostimulators be applied to the face once a year, but this period may vary depending on the degree of sagging of each patient. In some cases, it may be necessary for stimulation to occur more than once during this time interval. As for the body, it is recommended that collagen be applied three to four times a year, which may vary depending on each patient.
