Innovations in cosmetology and the volume of investments in the development of the latest products for preserving youth and beauty make us think about the prospects for the near future. The latest generation tools and preparations make cosmetology more and more effective and safe. The latest developments of scientists are quickly adopted and form popular trends.
What they can do and where they work
They are effective in areas of local fat accumulation that are difficult to correct. They are used mainly in areas of fat traps - in the area of the chin, knees, riding breeches, and lateral surfaces of the abdomen.
It is not advisable to treat large areas with lipolytics. The technique gives a more pronounced and faster result with an integrated approach, so it is rarely done as a single procedure, only if it is impossible to combine with hardware correction methods.
Remember that injections of lipolytics - special drugs for destroying fat cells - only fight local fat deposits and, as a rule, require an integrated approach.
Micro-Botox
You probably haven’t heard about this Botox injection technique yet, but soon every self-respecting cosmetologist will master it. This technology originated in New York. According to dermatologist Dr. Debbie Palmer, Micro-Botox is administered more superficially and in smaller quantities. Thus, it works to reduce pore size, reduce sebum production and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
According to the doctor, the minimum concentration of butolotoxin also stimulates the production of your own collagen.
Which procedures to combine with?
Additional methods allow you not only to speed up and obtain a more pronounced result of the main effect, but also to eliminate its consequences. After the destruction of fatty tissue, patients are faced with the fact that the skin becomes flabby and sagging. When drawing up a treatment plan, doctors evaluate skin turgor and prescribe a strengthening complex.
- Radio frequency lifting (RF-lifting);
- alter therapy (Ultherapy) is a microfocused ultrasound technique.
If we have a large area of fat deposits, for example, lipolytics are used in the abdomen, then it is justified to prescribe first a course of cryolipolysis, then lipolytics, and then, for example, a course of procedures using the Vela Shape device, which combines the effects of high-frequency current, infrared radiation, vacuum aspiration and massage rollers. This protocol provides faster and physiological weight loss.

Is modern cosmetology really omnipotent? These days, the possibilities for cosmetologists seem almost limitless. We are able to rid a person of pigment and port-wine stains, scars and post-acne marks, wrinkles, extra pounds, without resorting to drastic methods. Many women view surgery as a last resort, and I would probably agree with them. Our doctors strongly recommend that clients undergo preventive hardware procedures when approaching forty years of age in order to look young and impressive at fifty. And it works.
What do you think about eternal youth? Not growing old is not an easy task, but it is quite achievable. There are very important aspects that I adhere to: live with an open heart, be positive, eat a balanced diet, exercise and visit a beautician you trust. The global trend now is a healthy lifestyle. We keep up with the times, strongly recommending a healthy lifestyle in any treatment regimen, and we approach solving any problem in a comprehensive manner. If the patient decides to get rid of acne, we recommend consulting not only a cosmetologist, but also a gastroenterologist, nutritionist, and possibly additional specialists. In our clinics, the client’s health is taken care of by experienced doctors who skillfully combine the necessary hardware techniques. This is how we achieve stunning results.
What is your main beauty rule? My personal philosophy is that everything in a person should be beautiful. If a woman only takes care of her appearance, does skincare procedures, uses the latest rejuvenation techniques, but does not develop spiritually - does not love herself, does not engage in sports and breathing practices - then all these efforts will not bring the expected effect. I am convinced that the source of our beauty lies within ourselves and without a happy inner smile, the face will not be beautiful. Love yourself!
Nuances of carrying out
The specifics of a particular lipolytic drug determine the depth to which the injections will be performed (from 6 mm to 1.5 cm), how many procedures will be required, and whether recovery time will be needed.
To numb the skin puncture, we use local anesthetics. Some drugs add an anesthetic before injection to make the procedure comfortable. Injection cannulas are also used, which avoids several punctures and, accordingly, bruises.
For a pronounced result, it is necessary to carry out a course of 3 to 10 procedures with an interval of 10–14 days. The amount depends not only on the drug used, but also on the correction area and the amount of fat. Fat cells in the affected area die forever.
What determines whether the volume of fatty tissue will return?
- Metabolism;
- nutrition;
- lifestyle;
- hormonal background.
Therefore, after lipotherapy, you should adhere to a certain lifestyle and diet so that the procedure is not useless.

What cosmetology technology of the future already exists? Placental drugs can increase the body's endurance, improve immunity, prolong youth and improve the quality of life. In our clinics we use the Japanese drug Laennec, officially registered in Russia as a hepatoprotector and immunomodulator. The Japanese, the authors of this technology, call placenta hydrolyzate the “elixir of youth” and an intellectual ingredient: a cocktail of amino acids and vitamins, thought out by nature itself, finds the weak link in the human body and strengthens it. And to restore the functions of skin cells, the Japanese have developed a placental drug for injection, Curacen.
Why do gynecologists attend beauty clinics? After a certain age, devices and injections become practically useless without hormone replacement therapy. Hormonal imbalance not only worsens a woman’s overall well-being, but also directly affects the quality of skin, hair, muscle condition and weight. Most women take such changes during the premenopausal and menopausal periods as a given, but this condition is not natural. And why put up with it if there are effective methods to eliminate this condition? In addition, in the “autumn” age, anti-aging therapy should be carried out after a complete diagnosis, which means a visit to a female doctor is necessary.
What is your personal secret to staying young? My philosophy is a comprehensive fundamental approach to health, designed not for short-term external results, but for long and active years of life. Once a week I undergo a course of therapy with the drug “Laennec”, which nourishes and restores cells, and I drop in to see a cosmetologist for at least twenty minutes. My home skin care routine is 20% Class Platinum Arcanum. Of course, it is important to lead a healthy lifestyle, but in order to prolong youth, it is important to change your mentality. Ultimately, the most important thing is how the person himself is configured. It's not about wrinkles, but about our energy of life, our love for life.
Side effects
Lipotherapy is an injection procedure, so after it, hematomas and swelling may appear. Adverse events and complications can only arise when working with direct lipolytics.
The main cause of complications is improper administration of the drug. They should be injected strictly into the subcutaneous fat, in small volumes.
The drug injected into other tissues, skin or muscles will cause tissue damage and destruction.
The second important point that must be taken into account when working with large volumes of direct lipolytics is the general condition of the body. There should be no acute liver diseases, since the fatty acids that come out of the destroyed cells will have to be utilized in it, which will create an additional burden.
The more natural the better
It seems that the period of “doll” makeup and bright colors is gradually becoming a thing of the past. Lush make-up is replaced by natural shades, the focus is on the natural beauty of the face. On fashion catwalks you can increasingly see models showing off their perfect porcelain and matte skin. An almost complete absence of cosmetics or a minimal amount of it is the main beauty trend of 2020.
If the skin condition leaves much to be desired, pigment spots are noticeable on the face, and the color is uneven, then you should use suitable primers and concealers to create the effect of “healthy skin.” Of course, problems cannot be ignored, so along with choosing natural makeup, you should consider using the help of a cosmetologist to eliminate all skin imperfections.
Eyelashes deserve special attention. The fashion for doll “fans”, which visually burden the look, has finally passed. Today, girls are offered an abundance of options for false eyelashes in the “nature” style: they look natural, have a moderate length, and are completely safe for the eyes.
If eyelash extensions are not suitable for some reason, which is especially important for sensitive eyes, then you should use a line of professional care products. An excellent choice in 2018 will be drugs containing prostaglandins or peptides. Thanks to their use, eyelashes become longer and fuller, and it is really noticeable.
Recommendations after the procedure (they must be followed)
- Fat loss procedures require drinking plenty of fluids. This is especially true for those who do not follow the drinking regime in everyday life.
- Lymphatic drainage techniques are welcome.
- If large volumes of work are carried out, physical activity is required. It is necessary to “spend” the released fatty acids to produce ATP (energy). If they are not utilized, the body will turn them back into fat deposits.
- In the first days after the procedure, you should avoid overheating, hypothermia, and drinking alcohol, so as not to slow down the process of removing waste products from the body.
In general, modern lipolytic drugs in the hands of a competent doctor are a safe means for correcting small fat deposits and harmonizing the overall appearance.
A new word in plastic surgery and contouring
The new philosophy of plastic surgery is the desire to minimize surgical interventions, replace artificial materials with natural ones, and promote natural aesthetics among patients. Today, not only people who need reconstructive operations resort to plastic surgery, but also those who want to qualitatively change their appearance in order to solve psychological and social problems.
Recently, scientists have developed new instruments that are used in microvascular, maxillofacial and transplant surgery. The use of developments reduces the risk of implant rejection, injury to surrounding tissues and increases the accuracy of manipulations.
The most popular breast augmentation procedure has reached a new level, thanks to a new generation of implants filled not with liquid silicone, but with gel. The innovative technology not only gives the operated breast a more natural shape, but also solves the problem of removing materials when the implant shell ruptures.
Plastic surgery is looking forward to the completion of research by international scientific centers on the use of stem cells. According to experts, in the near future surgeons will be able to use materials from the patient’s own tissues for transplantation and implantation.
pros
The method is minimally invasive
It does not require anesthesia or long-term rehabilitation.
For this reason, “slimness injections” are often called the lunch break procedure. Within 3-6 hours (rarely - 12 hours), a moderate burning sensation and sometimes a feeling of itching are noted in the area of lipolytic injections. Redness of the skin may occur within 12–24 hours, and moderate swelling in the injection area may persist for one to three days.
Possibility of correcting the most “stubborn” and delicate problem areas
You can remove fat deposits in the area of the inner shoulder, flanks on the back, pads above the knees and fat deposits associated with hormonal disorders (including the so-called widow's hump).
It is also possible to use lipolytics for the face - this will correct the swollen contour.
The effect is quite durable
Even if you recover, the “fat traps” will not return, because there are significantly fewer fat cells in this area.
Botox
Botulinum toxin has not lost its position for almost half a century. Many young girls do not wait for facial wrinkles to appear. Doctors are not against such a desire to prevent the appearance of wrinkles.
The average age of a patient coming for the first Botx procedure began to vary from 26 to 30 years.
Minuses
Limitations on the volume of fat that can be destroyed
The reason is that the contents of fat cells are excreted by the liver.
Otherwise, serious intoxication may develop, manifested in a general deterioration in health: nausea, dizziness, indigestion, and even the appearance or aggravation of serious systemic diseases, primarily atherosclerosis. The settling of unresolved fat cells on the walls of blood vessels contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
Possible injury
If the administration technique is violated (the drug gets into the skin) and the dosage is exceeded, ulcers, inflammatory reactions, and skin unevenness may occur (as with classic liposuction).
Some patients may develop scars. As practice shows, complications mainly occur in people with large local fat deposits.
According to surgeons, when treating two symmetrical zones (for example, zones of breeches), a not very uniform effect is possible. One zone may turn out fuller, and another - thinner.
In older patients, sagging and sagging skin may appear in the thinned area. In this case, hardware cosmetology comes to the rescue.
The procedure is quite painful
Despite the use of lidocaine and improved administration techniques, the process can hardly be called easy.

Hair coloring can be completely safe
“You can instantly change your hair color without damaging it,” says Chris Appleton, Kim Kardashian West's hairstylist. Until now, regularly changing hair color was not considered a good idea - split ends, brittle hair. But in five years, we could end endless hours of coloring or bleaching, Appleton says.
Hair coloring in the future - maximum naturalness
Color technology is already moving in this direction: natural dyes use pure, low-odor color and proteins to coat the hair. For example, Christophe Robin's new color gel, which is infused with inula flower to brighten color, as well as oat extract to make hair incredibly shiny. In between color treatments, a new collection of at-home hair serums like Color Wow Kale Tonic helps strengthen strands.
Christophe Robin Temporary Color Gel can be purchased for $35, and Color Wow Kale Cocktail Bionic Tonic can be purchased for $24.
Injection techniques
Thanks to its instant effect and lasting results, it is gaining more and more fans from both women who want to regain their youth, and very young girls who are looking for a reliable preventive measure that prevents the aging process.
Biorevitalization with peptides
Intradermal injection of hyaluronic acid creates an ideal water balance for cells, and can literally restore the face, restore firmness, elasticity, and make the skin glow with youth. The innovations introduced in this method consist in the development of completely different complex preparations, including peptides that significantly enhance the effect of hyaluronic acid. You immediately see how your complexion transforms and comes to life under the influence of a combined, perfect beauty formula.
Plasmolifting
The most natural method, the so-called self-rejuvenation technology. This new product is a real breakthrough in cosmetology. The procedure involves injecting the patient with his own platelet-rich plasma. Due to the absence of foreign interference, the risk of rejection or allergic reaction is reduced to zero.
As a result of plasma therapy, the skin is naturally moisturized, plasma affects all the main systems of the body - regenerative, metabolic and immune, the growth of stem cells is activated, fine wrinkles are completely eliminated, and the complexion is evened out. Plasma is also successfully used in trichology to accelerate hair growth and combat hair loss.
Carboxytherapy (gas injections)
The latest innovation among types of mesotherapy. The patient is injected with carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide, which, in this case, oddly enough, combats the lack of oxygen in the cells. Among cosmetological innovations, carboxytherapy immediately caused a powerful surge of interest. The procedure lasts about 5-10 minutes, and running processes slow down only a month after it is carried out.
As a result of carboxytherapy, epidermal cells are saturated with oxygen and nutrients. Gas injection technology works wonders and is used for the following indications:
- Skin withering.
- Loss of elasticity.
- Expression wrinkles.
- Loss of the facial frame.
- Cellulite.
- Stretch marks.
- Dilated capillaries.
- Acne and its consequences.
How to stay young despite your age
The answer to this question can be given by regenerative medicine, which opens up incredible opportunities and prospects for us.
This independent discipline combines knowledge of biology, medicine and engineering, and can fundamentally change the way we improve human health by restoring, maintaining and improving the functions of our organs and tissues. Regenerative technologies today are the flagship of modern medical cosmetology. Cosmetologists have always actively shown increased interest in Stem Cell technologies, as well as in products based on fibroblasts and alpha-fetoprotein. Since 2000, products based on Stem Cell technologies, fibroblasts and alpha-fetoprotein are increasingly being produced. Every year their share of participation certainly increases. The time has come when we can say with confidence that the triad in question is capable of making a global revolution in cosmetology.
In May 2011, “Regenerative Technologies” was launched as a project of the Skolkovo Innovation Foundation in both traditional medicine and cosmetology. This was preceded by a lot of work carried out by the team of the Pokrovsky Stem Cell Bank together with corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Professor A.G. Baindurashvili.
Initially, quite a long way has been covered in “tragic medicine”. Both before and now, new products are actively used for the treatment of severe burns, trophic ulcers, bedsores, large skin defects due to injuries and trophic changes (diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, etc.).
The need to achieve high quality production in the field of Stem Cell technologies, fibroblast cultivation and alpha-fetoprotein production is one of the most important problems in the field of high technology.
