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

III. Deformative Morphotype
The deformative aging morphotype is typical for Slavic and Arabic women, and is usually observed in heavily-built women. Features include:

4. Treatment of vascular lesions– cuperose and
telangiectasia
Rutin & Melilot Extract
Gingko Biloba
Centella asiatica
Vascular tonics, acting on improving the blood flow and regenerating the connective tissue.
IV. Muscular Morphotype
The muscular aging morphotype is most common among Asian people and sometimes Eastern Europeans. Most frequently seen in men and women with large features, excessive relief and sharper face shapes. The main features are:
- Well-developed facial muscles expression in combination with genetically predetermined low amounts of subcutaneous fat
Treatment
1. Rejuvenation and revitalization
