Abstract
Sagging and wrinkles are serious problems for the people who want to look young and attractive. Treatments for facial rejuvenation thus far include laser, filler injection, thread lifts, PRP, and facelift surgery, etc. But none of these treatments can bring in long lasting result by itself. We have been using growth factor injection for more than 10 years for treating sagging and wrinkles. As the main component of the skin is collagen, so the restoration of the support provides evident results. Assuming several subunits of the face, we found that balance of the volume of injective fluid between subunits is important for ideal results. And for better results, we used retinoic acid and hydroquinone. These recover the fine wrinkles, spots and textures of epidermis, the most superficial layer of the skin. We believe that both collagen restoration, which occurs in deeper layer, and epidermal restoration are ideal combination for facial rejuvenation. With either of these treatments cannot provide satisfactory result, thus the ‘balance’ of the restoration of superficial layer and deep layer is demanded. After single treatment, the effect of the treatment lasts for years, so patients don’t need repeated treatments. After treating just one time, patients only have to take care of ultraviolet rays, foods, sleep, and so on. Such habits are also beneficial for their health. So we believe that the ‘balance’ of restored skin which is located outside and maintaining inner health is important.
