THE AGING MORPHOTYPES OF THE FACE - CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT WITH INSTITUTE BCN PRODUCTS

Facial aging is a universal process and it affects all structures: skin, subcutaneous soft tissue, muscles and bones. However, every individual ages differently. Therefore, when addressing facial aging, a personalized approach is imperative.

The specific pattern of aging is dependent on genetic and environmental factors.

 

                                      

In addition, every ethnic group has its aesthetic strong and weak points, that affect aging. For example, Caucasian faces are generally narrower with greater vertical height, Asians have a wider and flatter faces with shorter vertical height.

                                          

                                                               

                                                                                         

             

 

                                                                                                                                                           

This new classification of the aging morphotypes represents a holistic approach of the aesthetic anti aging treatments, taking into account all the changes, both at micro and at macro level.

At micro level – the blood flow of the skin is reduced, the skin gradually dehydrates, the number of melanocytes decreases, the epidermal barrier weakens.

At macro level - the occurrence of wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, ptosis.

The major advantage  of this classification consists in offering the possibility to choose a complete therapeutic protocol, with immediate and long term results. It also enables the prediction of future age-related changes.

The aging morphotypes are classified (according to I.Kolgunenko) as tired, wrinkling, deformative, and muscular.

I.  The Tired Morphotyp

     It is the most frequent type, considered to be a marker of the physiological aging process.It typically occurs in thin women with

     oval or diamond shape face.

     The main features of this morphotype are:

- normal to dry skin type

- decreased muscle tonus and skin firmness

- moderate tear trough

- particular hypotrophy and slight ptosis of the fat departments of the face

All these changes make the person look tired and it usually becomes more evident at the end of the day.

                        

                                                                                           

    Treatment                                                  

1.Restoration of skin tonus

BCN Tensis Peptides 

This combination of active ingredients acts on the extracellular matrix, strengthening the tissue and firming the skin of the face and body. Its action is focused on restoring firmness and making the skin look younger and more luminous. It reduces and prevents wrinkles by generating new skin cells. It improves the skin’s elasticity by inducing the synthesis of collagen, elastin and renewing extracellular matrix (ECM). It hydrates dry skin and helps to maintain the optimal moisture balance.

The whole face will be treated.

-Conventional, with the Nappage technique

-Microneedling – Mesopen

-No needle mesotherapy

                                                                                                                                                  

2. Treatment of expression lines

Argireline  - the perfect, non-toxic alternative for BOTOX, reduces and prevents the occurrence of expression lines by inhibiting muscular contraction.

It actually inhibits the release of neurotransmitters, relaxing the muscles through this mechanism, without paralyzing them completely.

Mimic lines on forehead, glabella, eye area and upper lip can be

treated with Argireline. It is also used for muscle relaxation on

chin and neck.

Other areas in which Argireline is used are

Hyperhidrosis and pain, caused by skeletal muscles

contraction.

-The injection technique is the same as the one used for Botox. It is injected intramuscular and these are the injection points:

  
                                         

•When applying Argireline with Microneedling, it is recommended to include it in a cocktail ( mixing it with Hyaluronic Acid, vitamins, minerals, etc.)

•The same recommandation applies to no-needle mesotherapy.

3. Hydration and vitaminization of the skin

 II. Wrinkling Morphotype

     The wrinkling morphotype is more common among Western-

     European   women. This category of aging is typical in slender, thin

     women with oval faces. Features include:

- Skin is thin, sensitive, and frequently dry

- Subcutaneous fat is slightly pronounced

- Fine and deep wrinkles are present in large quantities

- Muscular tonus decreases minimally

- Tissue ptosis is not very visible

- Photoaging ranges from moderate to severe (hyperpigmentation, actinic keratosis)

- Obvious difference between skin conditions of the face and neck (in favour of the face).
