Vistabel a devenit un aliat de bază în lupta contra ridurilor, dar entuziasmul pentru acest tratament a condus la două extreme: tinere care apelează la injectări fără a avea nevoie și femei trecute de 60 de ani care încă mai speră la miracole. Dr. Amalia Anghel, medic primar Dermatovenerologie, expert în Medicina Dermatoestetică la Skinmed Clinic, Centrul de Excelență în Dermatologie București ne arată cum eficiența tratamentului Vistabel are limite într-o direcție și în alta, iar folosirea inadecvată poate duce la rezultate contrare așteptărilor.
Why does it make NO sense to inject yourself at 18-20?
Many young women believe that if they start prevention early, they will never get wrinkles. The reality is different:
- The skin is still elastic and there are no static wrinkles to prevent.
- Muscles can atrophy prematurely, giving an artificial or expressionless look to the face.
- Excesul de injectări duce la “toleranță”, necesitând doze mai mari mai devreme.
- It creates a psychological dependency, making you think you constantly need touch-ups.
It is best to start prevention around the age of 25-30, when dynamic wrinkles start to become visible.
De ce tratamentul pentru corectarea ridurilor de expresie nu mai dă rezultate la peste 60 de ani?
Pe de altă parte, femeile trecute de 60 de ani speră că acest tratament poate şterge wrinkles deep and can restore volume to the face. Unfortunately, this is not the case. After this age:
- Static wrinkles are deeply impregnated and do not disappear by relaxing the muscles.
- Skin has lost elastin and collagen, requiring more complex treatments.
- The muscles of the face are already weakened, and the extra relaxation can make the skin look even looser.
For women over 60, effective alternatives are:
- Hyaluronic acid for volumizing and smoothing deep wrinkles.
- Collagen stimulating treatments (radiofrequency, lasers).
- Suspension threads for non-invasive facelift.
- Surgical facelift, if the sagging skin is too advanced.
Filters, social networks and the obsession with fake perfection
The perfect faces in photos in cyberspace are not real, but created with digital filters. Unfortunately, many young girls and even mature women come to the doctor with such edited images and ask for injections to transform them into what they see on screen. This phenomenon is dangerous for several reasons:
- It loses touch with reality: no one looks like an Instagram filter, and wishing you did is an illusion.
- Excessive interventions disfigure, not improve.
- The quest for perfection leads to chronic dissatisfaction because the virtual image cannot be replicated in reality.
What's the point of putting filters on top of filters in cyberspace, if in reality the people you're supposed to meet pass you by because they don't recognize you! It's nonsense and a sure road to disappointment. Every age has its beauty and should be accepted and cherished, not pushed towards an artificial ideal.
Dr. Amalia Anghel: "Personalizarea tratamentului este cheia pentru o imagine frumoasă în realitate! Fiecare vârstă are particularități și necesită soluții adaptate. Vistabel este un instrument puternic, dar trebuie folosit la momentul potrivit și în mod strategic. Consultă un medic dermatolog pentru a alege soluția potrivită în funcție de nevoile pielii tale, nu doar de tendințele momentului!”.
