Aesthetic medicine treatments have advanced greatly in recent years. Today, we have different options that are increasingly effective and less invasive. In fact, the improvement in the safety of these treatments is mostly due to the use of resorbable materials that eventually disappear over time. However, we often encounter what we call an aesthetic footprint.
As we will see below, it is likely that between 10 and 20 percent of the material remains in our skin, which can happen for various reasons.
What is the aesthetic footprint and how can it affect us?
When there is a sign of aesthetic retouching, it may be due to the encapsulation of the material. This can happen because an excess of product has been applied, because the skin tissue has been saturated by not leaving enough margin between one treatment and another, or it can also be due to the skin’s own regeneration after the treatment.
In other words, we consider the aesthetic footprint to be the long-term effects left by aesthetic medicine treatments that use resorbable materials, but this footprint is not always negative.
The negative aesthetic footprint is the unwanted consequence on the skin that arises, as we mentioned above, from the use of an excess of product or from the saturation of the tissue itself. This can cause an unwanted modification in the skin. However, the positive footprint is the one that occurs with the regeneration of the tissues themselves, which is done naturally and which is a plus for the treatments.
Professionals will be able to establish treatments to guide that regeneration towards the desired results, taking into account the needs and circumstances of each patient. In other words, the negative aesthetic footprint is easy to avoid if we go to qualified professionals.
Aesthetic medicine treatments are increasingly safe and extraordinary results are obtained. If you want to put yourself in the best hands, we are waiting for you at Clínica Bajo.
