An integrated approach to rejuvenation

It is implemented through proper nutrition, drinking regimen, physical activity, and regular self-care both at home and within the walls of a clinic specializing in aesthetic rejuvenation. And a good cosmetologist-esthetician is one who, along with external correction of age-related changes, prescribes – that’s right, he doesn’t suggest, but, like a doctor, he prescribes – a comprehensive program of body rejuvenation

An integrated approach may include a variety of techniques: from plasmapheresis and intravenous drips to vitamin complexes and dietary supplements. Today I will share a patented natural rejuvenation program compiled by the doctors of the ANA-Cosmo clinic under my leadership, which is the result of 20 years of experience of our team.

DIAGNOSTICS

You should always start with collecting an anamnesis and a set of diagnostic measures aimed at identifying hidden pathology still at the functional level. After analyzing 76 programs, I came to the conclusion that it was at this stage that more than 80% of certain somatic pathologies were identified, which the patients did not even suspect. Among them are hypo- and hyperthyroidism, neoplasms and ovarian cysts, in situ cancer of the cervix, hypertension, metabolic disorders in the myocardium, hypoxia of the heart muscle, early menopause, decreased estrogen levels, imbalance of estrogen and progesterone, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, chronic cholecystitis and pancreatitis.

Examinations required to complete the program:

• general laboratory diagnostics : general blood test, blood biochemistry - total, direct and indirect bilirubin, ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, albumin, triglycerides, cholesterol, high and low density lipoproteins;
• gynecological package : colposcopy, hormonal status - FSH, LH, progesterone, prolactin, total testosterone, DHEA sulfate, estradiol, TSH, T4, T3;
• electrocardiogram: heart rate, condition of the heart muscle, general condition of the heart;
• Ultrasound of organs and systems: genitourinary system, abdominal organs - gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, liver, thyroid gland.

Perhaps at this stage you will need to consult related specialists or discover conditions that are contraindications for a further rejuvenation program.

DETOXIFICATION

It is carried out using the plasmapheresis procedure . This is a modern and safest way to cleanse the blood of harmful substances, waste and toxins. The method is based on filtering blood through a disposable membrane filter, separating plasma containing toxins, harmful biologically active substances, cell wall fragments, atherogenic lipids and lipoproteins. The course consists of four procedures, once a week. In one procedure, 400–500 ml of plasma containing toxic substances is utilized, and formed elements are returned to the bloodstream.

At this stage, you can include cosmetic procedures aimed at detoxing and cleansing the body - cosmetic cleansing, micro-resurfacing, sebum-regulating or collagen-hyaluronic care, depending on the type of aging of the patient’s skin.

ACTIVATION OF THE INTERNAL FORCES OF THE ORGANISM

It is possible thanks to a combination of several techniques : paravertebral and local carboxytherapy , as well as well-known and widely used biorevitalization and dermogenesis , aimed at stimulating neocollagenogenesis, natural revitalization and plumping of the skin.

A three-pronged approach to skin rejuvenation simultaneously improves its tone, texture and elasticity, and the achieved effect lasts for several years. Based on the results of one hundred complex programs, a potentiation of the effect of each procedure was noted. The synergy of these techniques increases the effectiveness of procedures by an average of 30%.

CELLULAR REPAIR AND RESTORATION

Intravenous cocktails Anti Age No. 1–3 are the most effective modern methods of non-surgical rejuvenation of the body. The use of anti-aging solutions (youth droppers) promotes cleansing, restoration, and renewal at the molecular and cellular level. Individual selection of ingredients allows you to cleanse the body of free radicals, renew internal organs, launch mechanisms for self-reproduction of new, young cells of organs and tissues, and strengthen the vascular wall.

The treatment is based on the principle of combining homeopathic and allopathic drugs - hepato- and angioprotectors, immunomodulators, B vitamins and vitamin C. Solutions are combined individually. The course consists of 5–7 infusions every other day.

NATURAL REJUVENATION

Ozone therapy acts at the cellular, molecular and systemic levels, providing a general tonic effect on the patient’s body, and is an effective tool in solving skin problems, treating cellulite and rejuvenation programs. Once in the body, purified and oxygen-enriched ozone improves the functions of central blood circulation and cell respiration, activates the body’s protective functions and accelerates regeneration, increases the oxygen content in the blood, stimulates energy production, oxidation of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Ozone therapy is the most effective medical procedure for improving cerebral circulation.

Plasmolifting , PRP therapy (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a method of cellular auto-rejuvenation based on the introduction of platelet-rich plasma from the patient’s own blood into the tissue. Platelets, which are rich in the plasma obtained during centrifugation, contain growth factors responsible not only for blood clotting, but also for the regeneration and growth of young tissue. This is an effective method of rejuvenation without surgery and side effects.

The total duration of the program is ⎼ 12 weeks, with three-hour sessions twice a week.

In order to ensure the prolonged effect of the above methods, home care and the prescription of collagen preparations are mandatory. In my practice I use Collagenix. It contains all the necessary micronutrients and amino acids for active biosynthesis and modification of the three-helix structure of collagen, gives the skin elasticity, maintains its hydrobalance, youth and healthy appearance, effectively prevents the occurrence of cellulite, smoothes fine wrinkles and noticeably reduces deep ones, provides an internal lifting effect, by 34 % increases the effectiveness of cosmetic procedures, prolonging their duration, helping to fight the clinical signs of skin aging.

Difficult? Perhaps, but only at the first stage. Lots of clinical components? And I agree with this. But this approach is the future. The time of injection monomethods is gone. The modern patient wants to have not only a beautiful and well-groomed face and body, but also a healthy body. So now the task of a real specialist is to provide his patients with comprehensive rejuvenation and high-quality longevity. This task can be accomplished only by thoroughly studying the mechanisms of aging, regularly expanding your knowledge, and using all possible modern technologies to work at the cellular and organ levels.
