What is collagen and how is it important to our skin?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, often considered its structural component. It provides strength and elasticity to the skin, bones, joints, and other organs. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and other health problems.
The working process of Sculptra
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable substance. When Sculptra is injected into the skin, PLLA stimulates the body to produce new collagen, which gradually fills in and increases the volume of the injected area. Results gradually become visible over several months and may last up to 2 years.

Taking collagen regularly will help. Strengthen overall skin health from within. It serves as a "good foundation." But it's important to distinguish this from cosmetic procedures. While both contain collagen, their mechanisms of action are very different.
Taking collagen supplements does not directly help to lift and firm the face. Or to enhance the results of the procedure, such as: HIFURF and thread lift treatments help to prolong the results specifically because the collagen you consume will be...Breaks down into small amino acids. Absorbed into the bloodstream in order to...It builds proteins and collagen throughout the body. It's not just on the face; it happens to the body as well.Allocate resources to the most essential needs first. For example, bones, joints, or worn-out areas cannot be directly targeted for collagen supplementation under the skin for lifting and firming.
Although collagen helps...Promotes overall skin health. Keeps skin moisturized, supple, and reducesSome minor wrinkles may appear. butIt's not about creating a structure for a clear lifting effect. For effective skin tightening or a lifting effect, the doctor recommends that:It requires methods that act directly on the skin structure in that area. เช่น HIFURF or thread lifting: Choosing the right method, the number of shots, the number of sessions, or the type of thread needed depends on the individual. Different treatments are used differently to achieve the best results.
The doctor knows what you're thinking. You want to drink, just admit it. But the truth is, it's no different.
To make it easy to understand. Drinking wine after facial injections does not cause any less swelling than liquor or beer. This is because all types of alcohol cause blood vessels to dilate and increase blood flow, which is the main cause of bruising and swelling. Furthermore, red wine contains histamine, which can worsen inflammation and swelling. Therefore, for best and faster results, The doctor recommends strictly abstaining from all alcoholic beverages in the initial period after the procedure. Wait for your face to settle down before celebrating your beauty with a glass of wine! Oh, and don't drink beforehand! Please request permission 3 days before doing it.That's still good.
Program Ellansé Or Elongse? This is an injectable substance that helps maintain facial structure. It doesn't just fill in like typical fillers, but also stimulates the creation of new skin structure beneath the surface, resulting in firmer skin, a more defined facial appearance, and increasingly natural-looking results over time.
Unlike typical HA fillers that focus on filling in sunken areas such as nasolabial folds, under-eye circles, or temples, and then gradually dissolve over time, Ellansé I will work like this. Replenishes + restores skin structure. Therefore, it is suitable for people who are starting to experience facial sunkenness, lack of facial definition, loose skin, or mild to moderate sagging.
Price Ellansé Generally, it is around... 20,000–30,000 THB / 1 cc
โดย One box contains 2 cc. The price per box is therefore approximately 40,000–60,000 THB It depends on the dosage and the assessment of the doctor at each medical facility.
I see many patients, both students and working adults, who previously had normally full faces, but after orthodontic treatment, which in some cases lasts for years, their faces become thinner. This could be due to reduced food intake or a receding jawbone, making the face appear narrower. These problems significantly impact their self-confidence because they... Her face looked haggard, tired, and older. The patient did it unintentionally.
The main reasons dentists often encounter is that when we wear braces, we tend to... Avoid chewing hard objects. This causes the masseter muscle in the jaw area to atrophy due to lack of use. Combined with the shifting of the teeth into new positions, this results in the cheek tissue that used to have something to attach to appear sunken.
The approach for patients with this problem is to choose a solution that best suits their needs and skin condition. The first approach is Biostimulator, which helps stimulate the body to naturally produce new collagen, causing the skin to gradually become plumper and firmer naturally, reducing the likelihood of the face looking overly full. But the results will be gradual (more noticeable later). Okay, the second approach is... Filler This directly fills in the missing volume, resulting in immediate results. And it can enhance facial features. The main thing for my patients is to communicate their goals in detail, clearly explaining which option is best after assessment. Patients can then make their decision based on the advantages and disadvantages of each program. Coming to see the doctor to assess their overall facial structure is the best approach.
In summary, various facial injection procedures, such as fillers, Botox, or skin rejuvenation biostimulators like fresh collagen, all aim directly to rejuvenate and nourish the skin. Important post-treatment care includes... Avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours. To allow the skin to rest and reduce the risk of infection. Although some patients might ask, "There's only one injection mark, can't I wear makeup right away?" For example, after getting filler or Botox in certain areas, such as filler for sunken cheeks or Botox to reduce the jawline, you might be able to wear makeup immediately. However, extra caution should be exercised, and the injection site should be avoided.
The most important thing What the doctor always emphasizes is... Consult with and strictly follow the instructions of the physician performing the procedure. Because everyone's skin and problems are different, personalized care helps patients achieve the best and safest results. The doctor has summarized the table below for easy understanding.
