Information

Facial ageing and appearance of wrinkles are resulting from various factors and reasons, sometimes inter-related and follow one after the other. Different reasons lead to different results and determine the selection of technics for elimination of wrinkles.

We distinguish the wrinkles types by their depth – superficial and deep; by the type of edges; by the way of formation and the place on the face. The struggle with them starts still with the prophylactics: use of different (according to the skin type) hydrating creams, sunlight protection, regular cleaning, etc.

Once formed, they may be eliminated by various methods: surgical interventions, laser methods or by their filling. The correct option for elimination of wrinkles may be determined by a specialist, who is skilled in all types of these methods, because they are interchangeable and are different for the different types of wrinkles.

Here we shall point out elimination of wrinkles by their filling with different products – fillers.

The USA aesthetic surgeons started first the struggle with the wrinkles. The beginning is by collagen, which is one of the basic components of skin. Animal collagen (mainly beef one) is used for this purpose. In 1987 these products came into Europe, registered for the first time in France, to be finally prohibited (as well as all collagen-based products) in 1998. In the meantime, the use of all sorts of products started with the final aim to eliminate and smooth the wrinkles and return the time back. Starting by threads, made of catguts, passing through various types of plastic microspheres, dissolved in gel and reaching to golden threads...!

The preparations for filling of wrinkles are divided into 2 types:

Permanent (non-absorbable)

Temporary (absorbable)

To the first type of products belong the product Artecoll – the most used and most reliable product from the group of permanent fillers.
