Factors such as ageing, sun beams, stress and smoking will cause the skin to lose its previous appearance. Procedures applied to some parts of the body including face, arms, legs, lips, breasts, hips and nose that change texture in time and ensuring younger, more esthetic and beautiful looks, and providing a new form for the body using nonsurgical procedures and technologies are called “medical esthetics”. Procedures used in medical esthetic applications with the purpose of eliminating the distress of individuals about their appearances are performed without using general anesthesia or sutures, that is, they are nonsurgical. Medical esthetic methods generally use injection and technologic devices. Medical esthetic removes wrinkles, sagging, deformation, and unwanted sweating and provides voluminous and full body. Invasive procedures in medical esthetics require cutaneous or subcutaneous injections. Medical esthetic applications are preferred by most individuals since they are not surgical and require very short periods for recovery. It is possible to go back to social activities immediately after the application of these methods. Since these are not surgical procedures, the infection risk is minimal. Production of collagen and elastin, which ensure the skin to appear natural, tight and tense, will be stimulated and increased. Application of the procedures is very quick.
The various nonsurgical medical esthetic methods are as follows:
Chemical peeling: This is the procedure carried out using chemical solutions to stretch, tighten and revitalize the unlively skin.
Filling: The material is injected into areas with wrinkles, sagging or flabby with the help of small-tipped needles. In particular, collagen and other substances needed by the skin are injected to fill in the depressions resulting from ageing and sagging. This will help to cover the existing wrinkles and depressions that make the skin appear old.
Botox: It is the administration of a mixture obtained from a bacterial species by injection in winkled, sagging and unlively areas. Visible changes occur following Botox application.
Laser: This method used in most fields of medicine are included in medical esthetic applications.
PRP: PRP is performed with the purpose of renewing the dead skin, revitalization and stain problems. It is also known as the stem cell therapy.
Mesotherapy: Mesotherapy, that is, skin therapy is the injection of amino acids and vitamins needed by the skin in sites where considered necessary. Skin renewal will ensure revitalization and glow.
