Biorevitalization: mechanism of action of beauty injections
A few words about how beauty injections work and how the desired effect is achieved.
Renewal of the intercellular substance of the dermis and its cellular composition is a continuous process. In fact, the skin is constantly renewed through a self-healing process called physiological regeneration. In youth, the rate of physiological regeneration is high, due to which the skin maintains its tone and elastic properties. With age, the regenerative potential of tissues weakens. The proliferative and synthetic activity of cells decreases, and the degradation of collagen and hyaluronic acid molecules, which form the basis of the intercellular substance, begins. As a result of these changes, the skin loses its tone and becomes less elastic. External manifestations of aging are static wrinkles, deep folds, increased microrelief, and changes in skin color.
The goal of the biorevitalization course is to enhance the regenerative potential of integumentary tissues. The purpose of beauty injections is to stimulate the division, differentiation and synthetic function of fibroblasts - cells responsible for the synthesis of key components of the intercellular substance. Biorevitalizants promote renewal of the collagen framework, increase the concentration of hyaluronic acid in the dermis, improve skin hydration, and restore lost elasticity to it.
The desired changes are achieved by enhancing physiological tissue regeneration; in the context of biorevitalization and alcohol, it is important to focus on this. Most biorevitalizants include hyaluronic acid in combination with various organic compounds (vitamins, growth factors, trace elements, amino acids, homeopathic substances) that have a stimulating effect on regenerative mechanisms.
In other words, the goal of a course of anti-aging procedures is to renew and self-heal the dermis by activating internal reserves. Yes, under the influence of the introduced hyaluronic acid, tissue hydration improves, but its stimulating properties are much more important. The task of a cosmetologist is to stimulate restoration reactions, change the direction of the resulting vector of metabolism from gradual degradation to synthesis, renewal, rejuvenation!
How long after biorevitalization can you drink alcohol, its effect on the skin
To know how long after biorevitalization you can drink alcohol, you should consider the following indicators:
- quality of alcoholic beverage;
- frequency, volume of use.
According to experts, two glasses of, for example, good quality red wine are unlikely to spoil your beauty and create health problems. And in this case, the answer to whether alcohol can be drunk after biorevitalization will be cautious or neutral. To answer categorically the question of whether wine is possible after biorevitalization, you should consult your cosmetologist.
With regular alcohol consumption, the body quickly signals dehydration. Dry skin leads to loss of smoothness, dullness and fine wrinkles will become more expressive. Is it possible to drink after biorevitalization? The decision on this issue remains only with the client.
You should know that alcohol destroys the presence of vitamins C and E in the body, which preserve protein and are responsible for the elasticity of the skin. In a person who drinks regularly, the oval of the face changes and the skin sag. Therefore, the question of whether it is possible to drink alcohol after biorevitalization should not worry patients for a certain time, since cosmetology is difficult to cope with changes and significantly worsens the effect.
Physiological regeneration and alcohol
Now about how the concepts of physiological regeneration and ethanol are combined, is it possible to drink alcohol after biorevitalization? There is an expression in the fitness community that “sport and alcohol do not mix.” This is explained by the fact that improvement in body composition is a consequence of the systematic activation of physiological regeneration by stimuli generated during training. Alcohol blocks self-healing and negates the efforts made.
Likewise, alcohol weakens and even neutralizes the effect of anti-aging procedures. Self-healing processes under the influence of ethanol slow down so much that even the most powerful biorevitalizants either will not have an effect, or it will not be sufficiently pronounced. The following explains in more detail why this happens.
1. Ethanol and enzymes . All synthetic processes, and indeed all biochemical reactions in the human body, occur with the participation of enzymes, or enzyme systems. The activity of enzymes determines the condition of muscle tissue, dermis, and the functioning of internal organs. The processes of physiological regeneration are entirely dependent on enzyme activity. If the enzymes are inactive, recovery becomes impossible.
Ethanol blocks enzyme systems, which deals a crushing blow to the regenerative abilities of tissues. The degree of blocking depends on the dose, but even minimal amounts can slow down regeneration and neutralize the effect of the rejuvenating procedure. As a result, synthetic processes in the dermis, which should lead to strengthening and rejuvenation of the intercellular substance, not only do not accelerate, but even slow down. The resulting vector of metabolism still remains directed towards degradation caused by the aging process.
2. Alcohol and toxins . One of the conditions for complete tissue regeneration is the timely removal of toxic substances formed during metabolic processes. Normally, the body quickly eliminates toxins, but drinking alcohol slows down the removal of metabolic byproducts. The accumulation of toxic products of biochemical reactions in the skin negatively affects the rate and quality of restoration processes. In addition, ethanol itself is a poison; this should also not be forgotten.
3. Ethanol and growth factors . Beauty injections help enrich the dermis with nutrients and catalysts for regenerative processes, including growth factors, amino acids, and vitamins. Under the influence of alcohol, the destruction of biologically active substances accelerates and their stimulating activity decreases.
4. Alcohol and blood vessels . Another aspect of the influence of alcohol on the human body is associated with changes in the vascular bed and peripheral circulation. It is a well-known fact that drinking alcohol leads to a short-term dilation of blood vessels in the skin, which is accompanied by a feeling of warmth. The effect is short-term, followed by a reverse reaction in the form of vascular spasm with worsening blood circulation.
Vasospasm with slower peripheral circulation leads to the fact that cells do not receive enough oxygen. The generation of energy for restoration processes deteriorates. Tissue trophism is disrupted, the delivery of nutrients and building materials necessary for the synthesis of key macromolecules (collagen, hyaluronic acid) of the intercellular substance of the dermis is slowed down. It has already been said about slowing down the elimination of toxins.
Limitations and recommendations for care after the biorevitalization procedure
The cherished injections with hyaluronic acid, in official terminology called biorevitalization, are quite safe. Moreover, the acid itself is already a natural component at the cellular level present in the human body. At the same time, the procedure is a kind of “intrusion” into the work of the body, which inevitably reacts to it. Accordingly, as in the case of any medical intervention, after biorevitalization a recovery period is required, which implies compliance with a number of rules for caring for the treated area of the skin. These rules and recommendations make it possible to reduce rehabilitation time and avoid negative consequences.
It is known that during the procedure, a series of injections are made with a thin needle to penetrate the substance into various layers of the epidermis. One of the side effects that occurs may be slight swelling. All this is a normal process, however, elementary mistakes can dramatically and significantly complicate the situation. For example: - active consumption of foods high in salt, spices, as well as marinades and smoked meats will further increase swelling
- Any cosmetic products, even those that you are used to using, will be strong irritants for the skin. In the first two days you should not even touch your facial skin! As for cosmetics, you can return to them only after complete healing;
- After biorevitalization, the skin is especially sensitive, so exposure to high and low temperatures can prolong the rehabilitation period, disrupt the water balance (especially in humid conditions of baths and saunas) and create discomfort. The same applies to the aggressive effects of ultraviolet radiation (even if it is not direct sunlight, but a session in a solarium);
- exercise, which is so beneficial at any other time, may do a disservice if you return to it soon after the procedure. The explanation is very simple: during exercise, the blood circulation process increases significantly, and during this period the skin must be protected from any sudden changes in condition.
Don’t forget the main thing: the end justifies the means, and in this case, the limitations. Moreover, they are very short-lived and after two weeks you can safely forget about them - this is exactly how long the body needs to “digest” everything that happened to it and please with tangible visual changes for the better.
How to enhance the rejuvenating effect?
So, there are at least four reasons for the incompatibility of biorevitalization and alcohol. If you want to get the maximum possible effect from the course, give up alcohol for the entire rejuvenation period. To enhance the effectiveness of the procedures, it is also advisable to quit smoking. Nicotine is another toxin that blocks enzyme systems, provokes vasospasm, and impairs tissue trophism and oxygenation. If you cannot completely give up the bad habit, try to reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke.
To enhance the anti-aging effect, you should follow a healthy, balanced diet. Do not try to combine weight loss diets with a course of biorevitalization; A diet with a calorie deficit will make a complete renewal of facial skin impossible. The menu should contain a lot of plant foods rich in microelements and vitamins.
It is very important to provide the body with sufficient amounts of omega-3 fats and other PUFAs. They are part of cell membranes, have anti-inflammatory activity, and perform regulatory functions. The optimal source of omega-3 is fatty fish or fish oil. The currently popular flaxseed oil, unfortunately, does not provide the body with a sufficient amount of essential fats (eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid).
Throughout the entire rejuvenating course, it is important to follow the recommendations of the cosmetologist who performs the procedures. You can always get more detailed information about biorevitalization and the factors influencing its effectiveness at a personal consultation with a cosmetologist at the Soho Clinic.
What is important during biorevitalization
Before the procedure itself, it is recommended to drink a cup of tea with sugar or candy. This helps make the procedure seem less painful by increasing blood sugar levels.
To numb the injections, local anesthesia is performed - the skin of the face and neck is smeared with a special gel with a strong cooling effect. “Freezing” reduces pain, but some discomfort from the injections may remain. In general, the procedure is quite tolerable. In order for it to go as smoothly as possible, without consequences in the form of minor bruises and bruises, calm down and try to relax. And, of course, trust in a cosmetologist is important.
Possible consequences
If you take an alcoholic drink before the correction, you may experience pain during the procedure that cannot be relieved. In addition, any effect at all if you do not abstain from drinking alcohol.
Alcoholic drinks dilate blood vessels, so the doctor may not calculate the injection and inject the medicine into the wrong place on the face. This can be reflected in the form of unpleasant appearance: redness, bruising, hematomas and bruises. They can also occur when the patient is completely sober, but under the influence of alcohol this likelihood increases.
Alcohol is not a product necessary for human life, so you can and should refrain from drinking it. Before the biorevitalization procedure, you do not need to plan a trip to a birthday, corporate party or any other event where alcohol is present.
The compatibility of alcohol and biorevitalization is zero. It is better not to drink it before a cosmetic procedure for facial correction and be absolutely calm about the condition of your face and the progress of the procedure as a whole.
Indications for biorevitalization Aquashine
Due to age-related changes and the influence of aggressive environmental factors, the effects of dehydration that increase over time appear: delineation of nasolabial folds, decreased elasticity of the thin skin of the eyelids, deterioration of tone, the appearance of a network of wrinkles around the eyes, on the forehead, in the mouth area. A course of Aquashine injections copes with all these aesthetic problems without any particular difficulties.
In addition, biorevitalization of this type will be recommended by an experienced cosmetologist in the following cases:
- • recovery after aggressive cosmetic influences: dermabrasion, resurfacing, a number of deep peels; • elimination of inflammation that occurs due to excessive activity of the sebaceous glands in combination with enlarged pores; • rehabilitation of skin damaged by excessive sunbathing or solarium; • removal of unwanted pigment spots of various origins.
What is Aquashine?
The most effective injectable preparations for rejuvenation are based on hyaluronic acid, a natural component of the extracellular matrix in the connective and epithelial tissue of the human body. Introduced from the outside, this substance helps smooth out aesthetic defects (facial and shallow age wrinkles, the effects of comedones, acne and other inflammations), activates the processes of protein biosynthesis and cellular regeneration, moisturizes and helps improve the tone of the face, neck or décolleté.
The composition of Aquashine is also based on artificially synthesized hyaluronic acid, which can be well distributed in the subcutaneous tissue and has a prolonged effect - tightening and biosupport of the skin will be as long as possible. In addition, the activity of this unique complex is determined by a combination of additional ingredients, including:
- • ions of vital minerals; • structural protein and amino acid sequences; • vitamins and enzymes, without which the processes of cellular synthesis, respiration or transport of nutrients are impossible.
The peptide component of the Aquashine injection is formed by synthetic oligopeptides that eliminate pigment spots and stimulate the division of cells responsible for the synthesis of the extracellular matrix, collagen and elastin fibers. The enzymatic activity of the dermis is impossible without the mineral base of Aquashine, and the presence of vitamins in the composition of the drug ensures the saturation of the cellular elements of the skin with all the substances necessary for normal life.
Properties of peptides
Peptides are organic substances that regulate the condition of cells. When introduced into the body, they force cells to work correctly. The effect of restoration of the affected organ or tissue occurs due to the normalization of work at the cellular level. And without any chemical or surgical intervention!
Aquashine preparations contain several peptides. Thus, Acetyl Decapeptide-3 activates the production of fibroblasts. Oligopeptide-24 improves skin regeneration, increases collagen production, improves tone, and reduces scars. Oligopeptide-34 stops the aging process, fills skin cells with energy, and reduces the appearance of pigmentation. Oligopeptide-72 prevents the formation of wrinkles and smoothes the skin. Oligopeptide-23 improves metabolism. Oligopeptide-51 shrinks pores and stimulates the formation of elastin.
