The very best you can do for your skin is provide it with plenty of nourishment, from without and from within. In Asklepion you can now pamper your skin with products from Viscoderm, partly in the form of injectable ampoules with natural hyaluronic acid, and partly as a nutritional supplement.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural part of all living organisms.

It is a simple chemical substance which naturally fills the space between cells and tends to form bunches of long fibres, which are able to swell within the skin, in a similar way to a sponge. As we get older, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the body reduces and the organism is unable to restore it naturally. In short, your body does not mind wrinkles. The less hyaluronic acid we have in the body, the less water the skin is able to absorb, which results in the skin “shrinking”.

This discovery led to the fact that hyaluronic acid is now successfully used not only to smooth out wrinkles and uneven skin, but also to make it tauter, sharpen the contours of the face and shape the lips.

It was first commercially used in 1942, when Endre Balazs had it patented as a substitute for egg-white in bread and bakery products. For the following fifty years this Hungarian scientist became the main expert in the research of this substance. Besides it aesthetic use, hyaluronic acid began to be applied in the treatment of joint pains, infertility, and tissue swelling. In short, during the last century it became one of the most well-known and widely used substances in medicine.

In the Viscoderm care scheme hyaluronic acid effectively and naturally rejuvenates the skin and neutralises the ageing process. Viscoderm restores the levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin, which regenerates and rehydrates the epidermis. It is applied around the face, neck, upper chest, and on the back of the hand. After treatment, for example, the water content of the skin is 30 % higher, while the skin is up to 80 % more supple.

Another significant result of the application of Viscoderm into the skin is that it provides effective protection against harmful external factors.

Besides hyaluronic acid the Viscoderm Pearls nutritional supplement also contains collagen, the antioxidants pycnogenol and the coenzyme Q10. It acts to prevent degenerative processes in the skin and stimulates cell regeneration, thus making your skin look healthier and more supple while improving its tone and hydration.

Viscoderm Pearls can be used on its own as a means of preventing ageing or as supplementary care against the effects of ageing as an injectable Viscoderm project.

Today’s life forces us to look young and fresh for as long as possible so it’s no wonder the chase for everlasting youth affects our everyday lives. The trend to stay young is absolutely natural, and definitely not only a matter of vanity. If you look good, you feel more self-confident and therefore appear more positive in the eyes of others. The desire for beauty has been around for thousands of years. To look young and feel better is just about everyone’s desire.

Research by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) from February 2006 shows that 55% of women and 52% of men would agree to have their appearance improved by plastic surgery. While plastic surgery used to be the only way to remain young, nowadays it is not the only possibility. Modern society brings a faster life style, and with it, other approaches to beauty, more comfortable ones and the same effective solutions. Are you bothered by your first wrinkles? By your tired and drooping skin? Is your skin not as firm and elastic as it used to be? If so, you are a good candidate for injectable implants.

Injectable implants or injectable fillers have become a more common and popular method in the fight against aging. Thanks to their easy application and quick effect they have an irreplaceable place in aesthetic surgery and their popularity contains to increase. Unlike plastic surgery procedures, these methods are noninvasive, which means they are not surgery and thus do not require hospitalization. From 1997 to 2005 the number of these procedures performed jumped about 726 % according to the ASAPS. The application of botulinum toxin is now the most desired noninvasive method. Injection implants, such as botulinum toxin, restylane, radiasse and so on, can be used for everything from wrinkle removal, improving facial contours, removal of a double chin, scar smoothing, correction of under-eye circles, lip augmentation as well as helping to stop excessive sweating. Their biggest advantage is that the patient doesn’t have to undergo a recovery process for several weeks, which is common with plastic surgery procedures. The injectable fillers are performed by professionally trained surgeons. It is a relatively simple procedure with good results and is suitable even for relatively young patients. Naturally, there are cases when noninvasive methods cannot help anymore and more radical procedures must be performed in the form of a face lift and so on. In most cases, they present an effective solution in the fight against aging symptoms. A specialized consultation always precedes these procedures, in which the surgeon learns the client’s wishes, evaluates the state of their skin, performs a general anamnesis and selects the suitable product and its amount.

The application of the substance is then usually very simple and non time-consuming. The treatment with injectable fillers often does not need to be done under local anaesthesia. For the maximum comfort of a client it is possible to use anaesthetic cream.

The active agent, which is selected by the surgeon and the client, is precisely inserted through thin needles into the skin, under the skin or into the muscle, always according to the type of implant. A big advantage is that the patient, almost immediately after the treatment, gets back to their normal life. It is not unusual that a woman has botulinum toxin (Dysport) applied during the day and then returns to work, without anyone noticing anything. Sometimes it is necessary to follow certain safety measures (e.g. patient cannot lie down for several hours after the application of botulinum toxin, not even to bend over and a cosmetic massage is prohibited for approximately 14 days). You will be informed about these in advance. The treated place is soothed with bags of ice after the application. Sometimes small swellings, a small bruise or redness may appear. These symptoms usually disappear the next day. Initial results can be seen within a few days and the final effect is visible within two weeks at the latest. Contraindications are minimal, only with the exception of pregnancy. The reason for this is that these tests have never been made on pregnant women, not because they are somehow harmful to your health. All these substances are first specially tested for several years and go through many controls before they even get to the market. The amount for this usage is minimal and therefore they are not dangerous. Moreover their effect is only temporary, with the exception of silicone oil, and the look will fade away in a year. The client can then decide if he/she wants to continue with skin rejuvenation. A tiny filling inserted into the right place can make you look a few years younger and significantly raise your self-confidence. The face after a suitable application is soft with round shapes, the skin is lifted, sharp edges and tired hollowed cheeks are gone, although their character remains. Injectable implants present a simple and very effective solution to the approach of beauty.

The application of botulotoxin and fill material can help remove the deep wrinkles (so-called “frown lines”) on your face.

Botulotoxin is available in two preparations: Botox and Dysport. Dysport is more suitable in the case that larger doses are required to smooth out truly deep wrinkles. Through the use of fewer injections with lower doses, Dysport easily spreads to the area surrounding the site of the injection and can provide longer-lasting results.

On the other hand, Botox easily treats smaller wrinkles and is more appropriate for cases when the spread of the active ingredient is not desired.

Prior to application the area to be treated is cleaned with a disinfectant. Botulotoxin is applied with the extremely fine needle typically used for insulin injections. In the case that a patient has a greater fear of injections, the treated area can be desensitized with a plaster or cream that contains a local anaesthetic.

Botulotoxin binds to receptors for acetylcholine, which induces muscles to contract, or, in this case, to wrinkle. But when the receptors contain Dysport, the command to wrinkle is blocked. “Frown lines”, after all, are not normal mimic wrinkles; instead, they occur due to the long-term frowning of the patient, consciously or otherwise. Wrinkles that are already quite deep are not simple to remove.

Botulotoxin does not smooth out these wrinkles immediately, as is the case with the treatment of fine wrinkles around the eyes. The deep wrinkles will gradually become shallower and may take months or even up to two years to disappear completely. Dysport should be applied twice a year. “Dysport is active from four to six months. The effect is extended by the fact that botulotoxin cures you of your inclination to frown. When you stop using your frowning muscles for a longer period the body takes a while before it remembers this action and begins to frown again,” explains Dr. M. Majerová from the dermatology department at the Asklepion Clinic in Prague.

To help results appear faster, a filler material – hyaluronic acid – is injected. Hyaluronic acid is a normal component of skin.

Injection implants can assist with a host of personal cosmetic woes. Wrinkles can be erased, lips can become fuller, scars can disappear. Injectable fillers can also cure excessive sweating problems. Injection implants are a modern, reliable and safe method of assisting with many minor cosmetic issues.
