Since ancient times, people have sought ways to stay young. And it is not only women who are concerned about it. Have you read a tale about an aged king who takes a hot milk bath expecting to become young and handsome and thus win the love of a young princess? Everyone wants to be young and attractive, and the methods, as the time passes, are continually improving...
During the last years, the beauty standards and priorities, as far as physical appearance is concerned, have changed in a way. Earlier it was the body proportions (90-60-90) that mattered most; now more attention is given to smooth, glowing skin, shining hair and nice nails – the signs of young age and good health.
The clinic GK Klinika in Vilnius offers an opportunity to take advantage of the innovations and advanced technologies in world’s medicine and cosmetology which have recently reached Europe and are already applied in GK Klinika.
Gyte Grigonyte-Babajan, who works as a plastic surgery specialist in GK Klinika, is convinced that the earlier you start taking care of your appearance and its prophylactics, the less time, energy and money it will take to eliminate the undesired signs of aging. Individual anti-aging programmes belong to the most marketable procedures all around the world. Now such procedures are performed in Lithuania as well.
Clients who come for the first consultation are not only examined by the doctor, but also (and firstly) tell about the unwanted skin changes themselves and express their own wishes: some people are completely satisfied with their looks and only want to stay as they are as long as possible.
An individual anti-aging programme may be designed for 2-5 years – it depends on the client’s requests and the condition of their skin. According to the plastic surgeon G. Grigonyte-Babajan, the duration of an anti-aging programme depends on the client’s lifestyle, stresses and the influence of the environment.
So what skin problems make women come to plastic surgery specialists? Wrinkles, reduction of skin tightness and tonus, etc; but while for some women it is irritating, other will not even pay attention to it. The plastic surgeon G. Grigonyte-Babajan notices that if you want to look young, you have to start taking care of your skin at the age of 30. It is the approximate time when the number of the self-renewing cells begins to decrease. For a client like this, a sustaining programme – ‘stay the same as you are’ – is enough. When clients want to “turn back time”, more aggressive techniques are applied, and more time and money are required.
The newest skin renewal technique (Fraxel Laser Treatment) is a laser with the help of which the procedure of fractional skin renewal is performed. This laser plastic surgery method is also used in Lithuania, GK Klinika. Contrary to lasers of the earlier generation, this laser does not effect the whole skin surface, so the skin does not react so strongly, swells less (the swelling is visible only a couple of days); 25 percent of the skin (every fourth micro-pixel of the skin) is affected at the same time. Every month, 3 or 4 operations are done, and then you only have to wait for visible changes; it also becomes clear if any more procedures are needed.
The pixel after pixel method can change the face (the result is the same as after a plastic surgery): the sagging cheeks are restored to their natural position, the forehead skin becomes smooth, eyelids become beautiful again, the pores shrink; the skin seems to lose the pigment and looks younger.
Another completely new skin renewal method is the application of live stem cells. A special stem cell-concentrated serum is spread on the skin, precisely on place where needed. Besides, the plastic surgery specialist G. Grigonyte-Babajan stresses that intervention is not applied in this case, although it seems that it is a simple cosmetological procedure.
Stem cells are unique as they give the skin biologically impeccable information. Skin cells renew and multiply according to the genetic model of the young cells, so the skin becomes younger and tighter. The quality can be observed immediately – the skin starts to shine. However, the whole complex of the application procedures takes 4-6 months. There are also plenty of amino acids, protein, hialuron acid, fibroblasts, vitamins, minerals, vital fat, ferments and natural antioxidants in the live cell serum used for applications. Together with stem cell applications, specialists can offer cosmetological preparations created in the DNA Health Institute in California. They do not include any chemical substances or preservatives.
When the anti-aging programme is completed, a complementary programme has to follow. Then you have to come to the clinics once or twice in a year. The plastic surgery specialist G. Grigonyte-Babajan notices that people who are interested in the individual anti-aging programme should know that for every procedure and every visit to doctors, some time will have to be devoted, clients must also have to keep interested in what is being done to their skin and do the ‘homework’ with the prescribed preparations.
