However, as the different areas of the face can be targeted to rejuvenate? We provide the latest methods of treatment:
Forehead and frown lines with injections of smooth
“Botulinum toxin A in this area is the drug of choice, both as causal and preventive therapy,” says Tatjana Pavicic. The dermatologist is a Board member of the International Society of Dermatologic Surgery (ISDS) and the International Master Course on Aging Skin (IMCAS) Academy.
At the time of treatment, the dose of the botulinum injections should be chosen so that the muscle relaxant makes the facial Expressions they do not freeze, but just relaxed. In this way, the forehead smooth out and the frown lines. The treatment hurts a little, only the punctures prick.
The effect occurs after a few days and, depending on the strength of the muscles around four to six months. Then the treatment can be repeated. With prolonged use, the effect could persist even longer, because the habit of the “evil Look”, says the expert.

Ultrasound to eyelid correction and against drooping eyelids
Drooping eyelids could be treated, until recently, only performed with an eyelid lift. It is now only necessary, if the slip rims are very pronounced. In other cases, “you can lifts today, the eyebrow by micro-focused ultrasound (Ultherapy), and thus, the appearance of drooping eyelids improve,” explains the expert.
The focused ultrasound pulses to generate under the skin in the short term, heat, collagen production is stimulated and the connective tissue. As a result, the overlying skin tightens. In the treatment you can feel the ultrasound as a small, hot needle jabs. Who is very sensitive, therefore a local anesthesia (cream) stun, or previously mild pain medication such as Ibuprofen.
Only minimal redness, which subsides after a few minutes, occurs as a side effect. So there will be no downtime. However, the full effect of the treatment occurs only after three months, because the connective tissue needs to consolidate again. The effect of a holding of up to one and a half years, then can be re-treated.
Cost per treatment: 600 to 900 euros
Eyes and eye bags Laser rejuvenate

But also the fractional ablativer Laser (CO2-Laser) is suitable. This is a new laser technology, which was specially developed for the skin improvement and tightening.
The heat ray acts on the entire skin surface, but rather a “micro-chessboard” pattern, where only the white or black squares are treated. This laser therapy is very gentle. With the support of the untreated skin cells can form fresh tissue faster and the skin rejuvenate.
In the case of the fractional laser therapy should not bags just the tears, but best of all, the entire periorbital fascia to be treated, so that the entire skin area around the eyes, a similar look and feel. “Otherwise you risk marking lines,” warns the expert.
The skin is reddened after the treatment and it is formed of tiny red dots, which after a few days of crusting and fall off. About a week of downtime after the treatment so needed, as well as complete sun, a waiver of up to three months.
The effect of the treatment with the fractional ablative Laser lasts one to two years, after which they can be re-applied.
