What you need to know about dermal fillers in Mexico

Are you making plans to take advantage of the medical tourism boom in Mexico? You’re not alone: ​​the industry is thriving, not only because of Mexico’s proximity to the United States and Canada, but also because it offers the most productive value for your money. According to Statista, the Mexican medical tourism market is expected to grow by 350% between 2016 and 2024. Professional clinics in Mexico will offer highly trained doctors, top-quality equipment, and a premium point of individual care consultations and follow-up care.

Non-invasive cosmetic procedures such as peels, fillers, lasers and similar skin procedures are on the rise. They are currently one of the most popular aesthetic treatments, as they do not require recovery time and provide quick results.

We asked Dr. Lara, dermatologist and cosmetic aesthetician, founder of the Los Angeles Skin Dermantra Clinic in San Miguel de Allende, about how to get skin and lip fillers in Mexico and how they can improve the face, volume, and design of the lips. What should you consider when looking for a clinic and doctor?What Are the Value Comparisons to Filler Remedy in the U. S. ?Is there a U. S. economy? What products would you recommend for the face and lips?

My industry has been using dermal fillers safely since the 1980s. Fillers can improve skin quality, repair skin and lip volume, and even help reshape certain areas of the face.

We can volumize lips, plump cheeks, fill in forehead lines, reshape the nose or chin, eliminate nasolabial or marionette lines, vertical lines above the lips, ‘tear troughs’ (under-eye bags), and even reduce the appearance of scars — safely and with instant results, which is pretty incredible!   

Medical-grade filler injections are made from hyaluronic acid or collagen, which occurs naturally in the skin. Injecting hyaluronic acid into the face draws out water, which helps keep the skin more hydrated. As we age, we suffer from bone, fat, and loss of muscle mass and our skin begins to thin. This dermal filler works by offering instant hydration and tone to the skin, eliminating wrinkles and folds, and the amazing thing is that you can expect to see instant results!

Whenever we talk about fillers in your body, purity is important. The best product is very natural and will have a high density, so you want very little. We want to avoid any post-procedure inflammation that may occur if the products are combined. or diluted.

Two products, Belotero and Aliaxin, are known for their ultra-pure hyaluronic acid, which integrates seamlessly with the skin.

I have also worked with high-end products, brands such as Juvederm and Restylane, but since the COVID vaccine I have observed some adverse effects in my patients who have selected the formulas contained in Restylane and Juvederm. I couldn’t explain exactly. The science behind this, or the reasons behind it, however, I think it’s vital to share.

I also use biostimulants; Injectables that differ from dermal fillers in that they treat volume loss over time. They rehydrate the skin and stimulate collagen, which also slows down the aging process. The injections repair collagen lost due to aging, creating skin that fills in wrinkles and replenishes volume. in the selected area.

I propose paints with the brands Radiesse and Sculptra, as they are the herbal and most biocompatible fillers. They are synthetic and promote the formation of new collagen, with minimal risk of inflammation or adverse reaction.

Sculptra produces this “new tissue” or “new collagen,” which looks a bit like scar tissue and heals, just like a scar would, depending on skin type and age. If that’s not ideal for one person, then Radiesse can work. , because the calcium it contains matches the calcium in our body and therefore directly stimulates fibroblast cells (the cells that produce natural collagen).

At a dermatology congress I attended in 2019, I had the privilege of hearing from Dr. Nabil Fakih (who now practices between Lebanon, Dubai, and Spain). He is one of the world’s leading craniofacial surgeons and promotes a hybrid technique, combining Belotero and Radiesse, which has produced difficult results.

I’ve been fortunate enough to receive a thorough education with him over the past two years, so hopefully I can use this strategy on my patients. This hybrid product restores volume very well and also improves the quality of the skin by selling new collagen formation, what I call “youthful” collagen (type I collagen).

Volumizing Lips

Thanks to a variety of celebrities (who, depending on your taste, may overplump!), volumizing the lips might be the most well-known use for dermal fillers currently. Lip filler treatments can be personalized, achieving a subtle boosting of the natural shape of the lips and evening out the texture by creating symmetry and filling in lines. 

chubby cheeks

Expertly injected fillers can repair volume and a more youthful appearance of the cheeks without the effects related to Botox, commonly known as “frozen face. “While facelift surgery is more invasive and requires a long recovery period, cheek fillers can create a younger, more full of life, and radiant face.

Fill in Forehead Lines

Fillers diminish the appearance of static sight lines, unlike Botox, which temporarily paralyzes muscles to prevent the movement that causes wrinkles. The injections fill in wrinkles with hyaluronic acid or biosynthetic stimulants.

Reshape the chin or nose.

Dermal filler injections are also used as a non-surgical option to fix common disorders in the elderly. It is possible to reshape spaces such as the jaw, chin or nose, improving the patient’s lateral profile and reducing neck flaccidity.

I have a special education in bolometric lifting, which I finished in Brazil, Vienna, Argentina and Korea at Merz Pharmaceutical. The bolometric lift involves injecting into the upper corners of the face, which lifts the lower face and nasolabial folds well.

Marionette lines and nasolabial folds can be eliminated!

Marionette lines are the lines under the corners of the mouth that can give the appearance of aging. Fillers can gently fill in lost volume and immediately brighten and balance the face, giving it a more youthful appearance. Nasolabial folds are the lines that enlarge from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, and fillers can gently create a younger, smoother, and herbaceous appearance.

Reduce the amount of scarring.

Scars can create indentations or abnormal facial texture in one area, and although they are mildly noticeable by others, facial scars can make other people feel insecure and uncomfortable. Fortunately, dermal fillers can also be used in this case to even out the surrounding texture. Fillers are a wonderful option instead of opting for surgery, and I’ve noticed a normal increase in my patients’ confidence overnight.

I think that’s the whole point of surgery in the fashion world. Women are happier simply because of those smaller, less invasive cosmetic procedures.

This type of remedy is more affordable in Mexico than in the United States, Canada or Europe, by about a third. Some of my patients will come for this remedy and combine it with vacations or when they come during the winter months.

In Mexico we have the wonderful merit of working with some American, European and Korean brands, because we don’t have the tough lobbying teams that exist in the United States. Eighty percent of my clients in those days, old and new, are from the United States.

It deserves to do a doctor’s patient history, referrals, and reviews very well before opting for a provider. A direct referral, when you can see the effects of someone’s intervention, is even more preferable!A savvy doctor also deserves to provide a wide variety of brands that I’ve previously recommended (among others). This is vital because you need to make sure that suppliers only offer original brands in their stock.

Doctors, myself in addition, might recommend remedies of choice such as microneedling or laser treatment, depending on your skin type and age. In Mexico, and indeed in my clinic, you will expect a thorough consultation to discuss the main concerns, precisely what you would like. see in the effects and main points of the procedure.

I see that many “snowbirds” (those who migrate to Mexico during the winter months) now make the decision to live full-time in Mexico!I think it’s a warmer country, not only in terms of climate but also in spirit. I don’t know anyone else in medicine and I think other people need to feel that they are genuinely cared for and that the doctor is genuinely committed to achieving the most productive outcomes. In fact, it functioned on that principle. I think those personality characteristics are prevalent in the medical career in Mexico.
