FACE 22 CONCEPT
A multi level viscoelastic volume correction
The face loses its volume as we age. In medical terms it’s called atrophy. The tissues are “shrinking” at all levels. Bone, cartilage, muscles, fat and skin are losing volume and this results in a hollow face, wrinkles and sagging skin. In order to correct that volume loss we must act on all levels. Unfortunately, the anatomy of the face is a complex topic. Deep structures, superficial structures, mobile zones and fixed zones are all part of the landscape of the facial structure. We even have zones where only the smoothing effect is desired, but not the volume correction. The degree of softness of the lost tissue is different on each location too. As we are using “HA fillers” as the primary material to correct a diversity of lost tissues such as bone, cartilage, fat, muscles and skin, we must adapt the viscoelastic (rheological) properties of the filler to the quality of the lost tissue.
OBVIOUSLY WE WILL NEED 2 TOOLS:
A wide range of products, each with its specific rheological properties
A proven and clear method of specific correction for each of those distinctly different volume losses
THE “FACE 22 CONCEPT” IS BASED ON THOSE 2 PRINCIPLES:
9 tools with distinct rheological properties, to tackle all kind of volume loss.
22 zones of action on the face, each with their specific viscoelastic challenges.
During the course at TCSE you will learn to recognize the necessities of each of the 22 zones and prepare the right strategy for volume correction. During the course you will follow simple guidelines where to start the filling and how to end it, how to choose your products carefully for a maximal effect and how to select the right needle or cannula to achieve the best implantation method.
TOOLS
Depending on the product and its use, we make the choice of the insertion device.
Injecting in a bolus, a fan or a napping technique will yield different results. All choices are depending on the area of the face and the desired outcome. As we work with different rheological products and high volumes but well spread over the 22 areas of the face, multiple syringes can be used / injected while still preserving a subtle and natural appearance.
