Blanching in cosmetology what is it?

The difficulty of correcting fine wrinkles with fillers is the need to inject the drugs into the superficial layers of the dermis. As a result, the risk of contouring of the drug and the Tyndall effect increases. The "Blanching" technique, which is used to administer Belotero® Soft and Belotero® Balance from Merz Aesthetics, allows you to achieve the maximum effect of wrinkle correction without the risk of adverse reactions. Read on estet-portal.com about the peculiarities of the procedure for smoothing small spots using the Blanching technique, as well as about the properties of Belotero® preparations that determine its effectiveness.

Rules for successful correction of wrinkles using fillers using the Blanching technique

To achieve the maximum effect of wrinkle correction using the Blanching technique, it is recommended to introduce filler “drop by drop”. This ensures uniform distribution of the drug along the entire length of the wrinkle. The correction is carried out with a minimum volume of filler, which makes it possible to treat several areas at once with one syringe of the drug.

After completing the contouring procedure using the Blanching technique, a light modeling massage is performed.

Belotero® Soft filler from Merz Aesthetics is optimal for correcting superficial wrinkles, as well as for working with thin skin. Belotero® Balance is intended for the correction of wrinkles and folds of medium depth.

Correction of wrinkles with fillers:
• whitening technique: wrinkle correction areas with fillers;
• safe correction of wrinkles with fillers using the Blanching technique;
• results of wrinkle correction using fillers using the Blanching technique.

Whitening technique: wrinkle correction areas with fillers

The Blanching technique is especially suitable for patients with fine-wrinkle aging. The procedure allows for correction of areas such as:
• periorbital zone;
• perioral zone;
• forehead area;
• eyebrow area;
• neck area;
• décolleté area.

It is recommended to use the Blanching technique for the correction of facial wrinkles, sunken corners of the mouth, nasolabial sweet spots, as well as in cases where botulinum toxin injections, for one reason or another, cannot be performed. The result after using Belotero® Soft filler lasts for six months, and after Belotero® Balance injections - for about a year.

Safe correction of wrinkles using fillers using the Blanching technique

One of the main features of the Blanching technique is the minimal risk of side effects. Belotero® Soft and Belotero® Balance fillers have high plasticity and cohesiveness. In this regard, during the correction of wrinkles, the drug is evenly distributed in the dermis, and the structure of the collagen network is not disturbed. These properties determine the absence of the Tyndall effect after injections of Belotero® drugs, and also minimize the risks of contouring the drug. As a result, after the introduction of these fillers, the vessels are not visible through the skin.

Results of wrinkle correction using fillers using the Blanching technique

The peculiarity of the Blanching technique is that during the procedure, the most superficial injections are performed. This is done by intradermal insertion of a thin needle included in the drug kit, cut upward. It is important that it is located almost tangentially - at an angle of 15º to the surface of the skin.

Belotero® Soft and Belotero® Balance smooth out all types of wrinkles thanks to their ability to naturally integrate biologically into tissues.

Belotero® products have a structure that best matches the structure of the skin, allowing you to achieve natural and predictable results.

As we age, due to the influence of sunlight, active facial expressions, and other factors, the skin becomes thinner and superficial wrinkles form. These changes are especially evident in the perioral area (purse-string wrinkles, nasolabial folds) and around the eyes (“crow’s feet”). To correct such defects, it is advisable to use blanching - the most natural technique for filling wrinkles.

Blanching the face against wrinkles is carried out with a special type of filler based on hyaluronic acid, which differs from other fillers. The drug has a plastic injection form; after it gets under the skin, it fills cavities where there is tissue deficiency. The face looks natural, the filler does not affect the mobility of the facial muscles.

When is it appropriate to use blanching?

Most often, fillers are used to fill:

1. marionette wrinkles;
2. perioral wrinkles (purse-string);
3. periorbital zones (crow's feet);
4. moderate nasolabial folds;
5. glabella (eyebrow creases);
6. horizontal wrinkles on the forehead.

Indications for blanching are all age-related manifestations that are considered necessary to correct, since the drug nourishes the skin without adding volume, so the result is very natural, especially around the lips, a rather difficult area to treat.

Blanching filler is a new generation hyaluronic acid gel formulated in such a way that it can be used for very superficial application without worrying about lumps, unevenness, or the Tyndall effect (a bluish discoloration of the skin due to optical properties). The composition of the gel ensures uniform distribution of the product in large and small intercellular spaces.

Blanching technique

When using this method of administration, the doctor microinjects the filler very superficially into the dermis. The procedure requires precise adherence to the injection technique, since micro-injections are made close to each other in order to cover the entire surface. The injected area becomes slightly white and returns to its natural color after 5-7 minutes. The area is then massaged well to distribute the product.

Due to its properties, hyaluronic acid in such fillers is used in very small quantities, allowing for stable results to be obtained for up to 2 years.

All hyaluronic acid fillers are hydrophilic (water-attracting) and may cause some initial swelling. This slight swelling may persist for one to two days after the procedure. There may also be slight redness in the treated area, which most often lasts no more than a day. Since the injections are very superficial, bruising may sometimes occur due to bleeding of small capillaries.

Do I need to numb the facial area before blanching?

Preparations for the blanching technique may not contain an anesthetic. In addition, the first injections can be painful in any case. To avoid this, it is recommended to pre-anesthetize the skin. You can use a small amount of Acriol Pro cream, created on the basis of 2.5% lidocaine and 2.5% prilocaine. This will help ease discomfort and reduce the likelihood of inflammation after the procedure 4,7,26.

The anesthetic can be used on the face without an occlusive dressing 7 . It rarely causes allergies, since it does not contain preservatives or ether anesthetics 26. Akriol Pro is officially sold in pharmacies.

Blanching in cosmetology, what is it and how is it done? The essence of the manipulation is to inject fillers into the skin with a thin needle, using preparations with hyaluronic acid.

The procedure allows you to solve many cosmetic problems:

1. Since the gels have a light degree of viscosity and at the same time hold their shape, they spread superficially in the upper layers of the skin and retain elasticity under loads and facial expressions.
2. Promote regeneration and rapid rejuvenation, stimulate the body's production of collagen and elastin.
3. They are evenly distributed without disturbing the structure of the collagen network.

Blanching – a new exclusive direction in contour plastic surgery. Standard techniques for introducing fillers do not always give the desired result, and in this case, blanching will be a good addition to the correction of problem areas.

Blanching applies:

1. in the perioral (around the mouth) area
2. periorbital (around the eyes) area
3. on the forehead
4. in the area of ​​nasolabial folds
5. on the neck to correct the “rings of Venus”
6. décolleté and arm areas

To carry out the blanching procedure, only Belotero Soft preparations are used, which, thanks to their special viscosity and cleaning technology, allow you to achieve the most positive and lasting results.

The blanching procedure is carried out in 2 stages with an interval between procedures of 1 month. The rehabilitation period after the procedure is individual, and on average is 3-7 days. The result achieved by blanching lasts 8-10 months. Blanching is suitable for all skin types.

The blanching technique differs from other injection cosmetology techniques in that the filler is introduced into the surface layer of the skin.

As a result of the procedure, correction of skin folds occurs naturally due to the hyaluronic acid contained in the preparation, which activates the synthesis of collagen fibers and promotes moisture retention. The “smart” filler is evenly distributed in folds and wrinkles and does not disrupt metabolic processes.
