…. Can TEOXANE TEOSYAL dermal fillers be the answer? …
Normal ageing = Loss of Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is an essential skin component. It acts like a sponge that retains water and keeps the skin moisturized, plumped and healthy. We lose 50 % of our hyaluronic acid between the age of 40 and 50. The skin becomes dry, thin and fragile.
In addition to normal ageing and loss of hyaluronic acid, our skin is exposed daily to various external factors that change its surface which results in the loss of brightness:
- Sun exposure
- Pollution
- Junk food
- Lack of sleep
- Smoking
YOUNG, HEALTHY SKIN
- Smooth and hydrated skin surface.
- Perfect light reflection.
- No shaded areas.
AGEING, DAMAGED SKIN
- Shriveled and dehydrated skin.
- Altered light reflection.
- Numerous shaded areas.
Premature ageing = Excess of oxidative stress (free radicals)
Your body has a stock of antioxidants capable of neutralising the oxidants.
This balance can be disturbed by an unhealthy lifestyle and several external factors. The excess of oxidative stress (free radicals) attacks the skin, decreasing its elasticity and tonicity.
An injectable revitalising treatment with the adequate ingredients is a must to restore SKIN’S HEALTHY balance and fight against all aspects of SKIN AGEING
Why do wrinkles appear?
Static wrinkles
With time, our skin loses its volume and main components: collagen, elastin and especially hyaluronic acid… The dermis breaks down provoking the appearance of static wrinkles.
Dynamic wrinkles
The epidermis folds like a crumpled tissue each time we make any facial muscle movement.
By repeating the same expression over and over again the skin eventually breaks down and dynamic wrinkles appear.
Why is my face losing volume?
With time, our skin progressively loses its structure due to:
- Loss of hyaluronic acid and elasticity
- Reduction of fat under the skin
- Bone re-sorption.
Consequently our facial skin sags under the effect of gravity and the face loses its volume :
- The oval line is less defined, the contour slackens, cheekbones flatten and tear troughs deform and widen.
What is TEOSYAL® ?
Teosyal® is a full range of injectable dermal fillers made of non-animal origin and biodegradable hyaluronic acid. It is made by Teoxane.
TEOXANE Laboratories were established in Geneva in 2003 and are specialised in the design and manufacture of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. As a result of its uncompromising commitment to innovation, quality and patient satisfaction, Teoxane is now among the top three hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers manufacturers in the world with products in more than 80 countries.
What is HYALURONIC ACID?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural skin component. It acts like a sponge and retains large quantities of water to keep the skin plumped and soft. In the fillers syringes, HA comes in the form of a gel.
Before your first treatment
Your pre-treatment consultation with the practitioner who will be carrying out the hyaluronic acid injection is very important.
Take your time and discuss:
- Your needs and expectations
- Treatment options and related products
- Your medical history
During your treatment
- The practitioner uses a pre-filled sterile filler syringe and a fine needle (or a cannula). The depth of the injection depends on the type of hyaluronic acid gel and the desired results.
- Superficial injections efficiently hydrate the skin and revive its glow.
- Deeper injections fill wrinkles and create volume.
- In order to optimize your comfort during the injection sessions, Teoxane created the Teosyal® PureSense line with integrated anaesthetic (lidocaine).
- After injecting the hyaluronic acid, the practitioner gently massages the injected area to mould the product. The injection session lasts around 20 minutes.
After your treatment
- The results can usually be seen immediately.
- The hyaluronic acid diffuses through your skin.
- On the surface, it increases the skin’s hydration, softness and suppleness.
- On a deeper level, it fills the gaps between cells, smoothes the wrinkles and recreates lost volumes.
- Depending on your skin type, you may experience some temporary bruising and/or swelling that are confined to the treated area.
- Several months after the injection, hyaluronic acid naturally degrades and resorbs like any natural skin component.
Here you can see how some patients have benefited from different Teosyal products.
How does Teosyal compare with rival products Juvederm and Restylane?
Juvederm and Restylane works in the exact same way as Teosyal, using a hyaluronic gel to rehydrate and smooth out the skin by way of injection. Just like the Teosyal range, it boasts instant results and is fairly long lasting.
However, one of the big benefits of Teosyal over Juvederm is the durability of the product.
Juvederm treatments last on average between 6 – 9 months, and up to around a year. Restylane are around the same, each treatment lasting an average of around from 9 – 12 months. After this time, the product will be completely dissolved and the effects of the product will have disappeared. Teosyal on the other hand, has advised their customers that certain products in the range can last to an average of up to 18 months. This is quite a clear positive for Teosyal, as you could end up having effectively the same treatment, but only half as many visits for top ups. This would ultimately save money and leave you looking the way you want to for longer.
Like Juvederm, Teosyal is a natural product, it uses the same injection techniques, last a fairly long time and are noted by many to be relatively pain free. They also have many of the same kinds of reviews and ratings and cost similar prices dependent on where you have the treatment.
