Aesthetics and good practices. The point today is not not to grow old, but to do it gracefully. The growth process is physiological and starts from the mind. As he explains Emi Bondi, Head of Psychiatry at the Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital in Bergamo, «The skin expresses our well-being, what happens in the brain is reflected in the body and this also applies to aging, which is slowed down by keeping the head active: the more stimuli there are, the later the senile process will begin. Nonetheless, stress significantly worsens all skin diseases. It is important to find a good psychic balance, mixing interventions with relaxation techniques: yoga is good, but a walk may also be enough to refocus on oneself ».
From the age of twenty onwards, one must invest in epidermal capital: a sunscreen, a moisturizing routine and an active lifestyle are essential to build solid foundations. “The attention we give to the skin is proportional to the results we expect in the future,” he continues Stefania Farina, dermatologist at the Terme di Comano, “The young tend to interpret the cosmetic routine by subtraction, but the skin must be supported and when we remove, with an exfoliant or following a wax, we have to reward, rebuilding the skin barrier”.
At the first warning signs, it is good to rely on specialists. “Research allows us to intervene by combining aesthetic aspects with functional ones,” they add Matteo Basso and Emanuela Di Lella, specialists in dermatology with offices in Rome and Genoa and professors of the master in Aesthetic Medicine of the University La Sapienza of Rome. «The Fillmed methodology with the NCTF® complex works directly on the dermis, stimulating the fibroblasts to physiologically produce collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin, with results even in the most difficult areas such as the knees, the inside of the thighs and arms. This technique, suitable for all ages, can be used several times a year as an alternative, but also as a preparation for fillers. This path improves the appearance of the skin: brightness, relaxation, color and tone ».
And after the “door”? «Around the age of forty, the elastic fibers begin to have structural alterations. It is a very intense age for women and therefore it is important to follow a healthy lifestyle, avoiding lack of sleep, negative stress and always protecting yourself from the sun, so as not to accelerate the changes taking place “, underlines Corinna Rigoni, president and founder of Donne dermatologhe Italia. “The anti-aging routine must be agreed with the dermatologist by choosing the right active ingredients and the most appropriate techniques such as radiofrequency or LPG for cellulite, with the awareness that constancy and regularity can make the difference”. The latest generation aesthetic protocols work on various aspects, “our methodology uses an innovative compressive micro-vibration system that stimulates the fibroblasts, acting on the deeper layers”, he continues Ambra Vecchia, Endosphères specialist. “There are no age limits, for the youngest we recommend working on prevention, from 40 onwards on the various critical issues. Laxity, cellulite, liquid stagnation and so on. The most requested areas of intervention? Legs, abdomen and arms ». After the age of fifty you have to deal with the reduction of estrogen. «We are witnessing the worsening of the
state of the tissues “, continues Vera Donati, plastic reconstructive surgeon,” is a change that must be accepted, but that must be improved by following good practices such as the use of SPF, attention to nutrition and hydration, as well as by consulting one’s specialists, including the gynecologist. And if for the face, décolleté and hands it is possible to resort to injections of vitamins, for the rest of the body it is necessary to compensate for the physiological loss of collagen and hyaluronic acid with cosmetic treatments and regenerative medicine interventions which, carefully evaluated, can give interesting effects on the tissue trophism. These techniques such as micro-fragmented fat have no effect on laxity, but give good results even on the most difficult areas. They must be used with the awareness that the results, then lasting, are not immediate, but progressive and visible over a period of six months / one year ». An extra help comes from cryotherapy. “Thanks to the synergy between cryochamber, cosmetic products and personalized manipulation, Omeži acts effectively in counteracting skin aging, also eliminating blemishes”, he says. Ombretta Zilocchi, founder of Omeži. «Each protocol lasts ten sessions and already from the third the dermis is more relaxed and toned. For the summer we are preparing a new release, which allows us to improve the
circulation, deflate and remove excess fluids. This register is ideal for everyone, from adolescents with circulation problems to pregnant women, up to those of a more mature age who wish to solve general or localized problems », concludes Zilocchi.
