The face of a young person resembles the letter V, but slowly turns as the aging process progresses. Thus, the skin loses its frame, consisting of collagen fibers, which are already disintegrating. The agent used in this rejuvenating treatment consists of calcium microparticles and a specially designed gel base. The gel instantly fills wrinkles, and the substance applied under the skin restores the frame, which improves the condition of the skin, it becomes more dense and elastic. It is important to note that due to the use hydroxyanatured calcium, the artificial effect of increasing the volume, i.e. the so-called inflation, is not achieved. This product stimulates the secretion of natural collagen, the loss of which with age leads to visible sagging of the skin. After four months, the gel is absorbed by macrophages, due to which it completely disappears. Fibroblasts then form new collagen in its place. Thanks to this action, the skin is noticeably younger.
