Come on, think about it: the main anti-trends of cosmetology in 2023

If you were surprised that there are also trends in cosmetology, then we hasten to assure you. And it is also regularly updated. And not only because traditional ideals of beauty are changing, but also because medicines and techniques are advancing and more and more research is being done. That’s why we decided to ask the leading beauticians of Moscow, desperately outdated, and save you from unnecessary cosmetic manipulations.

fillers

“A few years ago, there was an explosion in the use of numerous hyaluronic acid-based fillers in cosmetology. During one procedure, 8-10 ml of the drug was injected. This led to swelling of the face (hyaluronic acid attracts water) and deterioration of its contours. And since naturalness is now in trend, many patients often want to do without fillers,” she says. Ekaterina Smolyaninova, head of the cosmetology department at the Kraftway clinic. “A few years ago, it was fashionable to inject fillers into the under-eye area to correct dimples and bruises. But the result was not always predictable – many patients complained of swelling, and sometimes the displacement of the drug. This procedure is now done less frequently because there are alternative methods of working with this sensitive area. For example, the Ultraformer can reduce fat deposits and paint bags, while the Fotona laser provides eyelid lift and dark circles,” she adds. Ekaterina Vasilyeva, PhD, founder and chief physician of the Artleo clinic. Another craze of recent years is the correction of the nose shape with fillers. “The reputation of the method is questionable: due to the violation of the technique of drug administration, many patients suffer from serious consequences, up to tissue necrosis and blindness,” concludes us in fact Kristina Kozhina, PhD, dermatovenereologist, Premierpharm expert.

mesothreads

Moreover Ekaterina Vasilyeva He states that threads turned out to be a useless alternative to surgery: “When surgical and mesothreads first came on the market, manufacturers positioned them as an alternative to surgical removal. But over time, this method turned out to mean a very long rehabilitation and many complications. Post-traumatic The patient appears to be stretched due to the edema, but quite a lot of thread must be attached to support the frame.They create scars that surround the collagen fibers.And when the threads dissolve, nothing is left inside but scar tissue.

acid peel

“Deep acid peel is now shelved. It was one of the most difficult and uncontrollable procedures, with a long recovery time and a high probability of scarring. Modern peels only work with the top layer of skin. PRX-T33 is very popular in our clinic. There is no rehabilitation after it, and with proper home care, even peeling is almost invisible. 20-25 minutes after the procedure, the skin is tightened, the pores are narrowed and the whole face looks fresh and rested. Ekaterina Smolyaninova, Head of the cosmetology department at the Kraftway clinic.

laser resurfacing

He talked about incredibly traumatic and aggressive procedures. Georgy Chemyanov, PhD, plastic surgeon, founder of the Chemyanov Medical Lounge aesthetic medicine clinic: “About 15 years ago, laser resurfacing was at the peak of popularity. And they were extremely aggressive back then. The goal was to achieve a pronounced result in a single procedure – lifting and uniform skin color. Only the procedure was very painful, and it was accompanied by edema, prolonged rehabilitation and the risk of complications – visible scars and post-traumatic pigmentation. Before the laser age, there was still dermabrasion – an even more traumatic and always uncontrollable procedure used to scrape off the top layer of skin.

Currently, lasers are still at the peak of popularity, but they work much more precisely. Today’s patients are busy people, they are not ready to disconnect from life for 2-3 weeks. That’s why doctors recommend a course of several procedures with a maximum of 20-30 minutes of rehabilitation.”

myostimulation

Moreover George It gives hope to anyone who does not give up trying to make a bloated body without a surgeon’s knife and enrolling in a sports club: “Myostimulation has been replaced by stimulation with electromagnetic field EMS. In cosmetology, attempts to pump up muscles have long been used. Buttocks for girls are especially important, for boys – the contours of the press. Unlike myostimulation, which only affects superficial muscle fibers, electrical stimulation leads to an increase in muscle mass. A new device has recently arrived in our clinic – the world innovation of Emsculpt Neo this year. It works on two fronts – it builds muscle mass and reduces the amount of adipose tissue. Such devices for body trimming will definitely come.”
