As societal pressures continue to promote youth and beauty, the anti-aging market has been making abuzz with nee products and procedures. With plastic surgery being a popular choice in improving appearance, invasive and noninvasive treatments have been improving through technology and innovation. The challenge of choosing what works best requires researching and exploring various options in accordance to specific goals and needs.
Consulting a personal physician or dermatologist is recommended before making any decisions or pursuing treatments. Cosmetically, there are a few popular treatments that most people choose in order to rejuvenate their looks. One of the most common treatments are injectable procedures. For cosmetic procures, Botox is the most popular, and the safest, if applied correctly. Used to eliminate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Botox injections contain purified toxins that block muscle contractions under the skin. A temporary solution that usually lasts for a couple months, Botox is usually applied between the eyes, around the eyes, and across the forehead for a natural look.
Another popular cosmetic procedure is filler treatments. During the youthful years, the body naturally produces collagen which works to keep the skin firm and strong. During the aging process, the natural collagen production rapidly decreases, resulting in loss of volume, and the appearance of wrinkled, dull, skin. Through injection, cosmetic fillers restore the volume and fill in the problem areas. Wrinkle or dermal fillers are available to fill in lines and lift sagging areas. The results can last between six months and a year.
Because most cosmetic procedures are expensive and temporary, it is important to explore anti-aging options that are effective, safe, and long-lasting. Zimmer Aesthetics is a European manufacturer that has become one of the leading companies for developing groundbreaking physiotherapy systems.
About Zimmer Aesthetics
The Zimmer Aesthetics company has developed innovative cardiologic, diagnostic, and aesthetic products that are used to cosmetically enhance appearance in addition to assisting in medical breakthroughs. Zimmer has created a product line of four various machines and devices such as hyaluronic fillers and software to enhance the current products.
Zimmer Aesthetics Platforms
As mentioned previously, Zimmer offers a range of collection platforms that deliver or treat cosmetic procedures. In addition to their current products, the company is looking to partner with other companies globally to expand their collection. The first platform is the Z Cryo. The collection features two devices, the Cryo 6, which cools the skin, and the CryoMini, the compact system for short and less painful treatment procedures. As mentioned previously, the Cryo 6 cold air device is designed to minimize pain and thermal injury during dermatological and laser treatments, as well as temporary topical anesthetic before receiving injections.
The Z Cyro Platform
The Cryo 6 and the CryoMini require normal room air, which is then filtered and chilled up to -22 degrees Fahrenheit. The cold air can be selectively directed onto specific treatment areas by utilizing the laser headpiece adapter. An additional option is the support arm that gently holds and guides the air tube in order to provide the professional with a hands-free option. The device is easy and pain free. The machine is designed with a large display that shows all the treatment parameters. The Cryo 6 features a tactile glass keyboard and an easy start button. The user can easily regulate the air flow as needed throughout the session.
The Z Lipo Platform
The second collection, the Z Lipo platform consists of the innovative Cryolipolysis device system that targets fat deposits by permanently reducing them through a non-invasive process. The method used involves cooling the fat deposits over a longer period of time, with a controlled and safe temperature range. Reducing deposits found on hips, thighs, belly, buttocks, love handles, and chests, the Z Lipo is safe and user-friendly.
This method is the most effective way to remove fat deposits because it breaks down the fat cells in the most natural way – through the lymphatic system. Although this process usually takes up to 10-12 weeks, the apoptosis of fat cells causes their ultimate destruction as the surrounding tissue responds to the cold treatment the same way as fatty tissue. The treatment is gentle and non-invasive.
The applicator for the Z Lipo system is available in three sizes. In order to apply pain-free suction to the desired treatment areas, the ability to use pulsating suction increases the beneficial effect on metabolism and lymphatic drainage. The intensity of the suction can be set to one of ten different levels, easily adjustable throughout the treatment. The device features a 10.2-inch touch-screen color display that allows users to adjust the application time, suction level, and suction mode. Parameters are selected and displayed during the treatment process.
The Z Wave Platform
The third collection is the Z Wave platform. The devices deliver high radial shockwaves that have been scientifically proven to have a vast impact on collagen production and structure, improving blood circulation, and strengthening connective tissue. In addition to improving skin firmness and elasticity, the ZWave unit is beneficial to use after receiving fat reduction or injection lipolysis.
The unit can be used alone, in a singular application in combination with other fat reduction methods. The focus of the Z Wave collection is to improve the structure of the skin located in problem areas such as the upper arms, belly, and buttocks. The unit is advantageous because it is non-invasive, pain-free, versatile, and results are seen almost immediately.
Treatment recommendations for the Z Wave unit include cellulite, stretch marks, and scar treatments. Eight out of ten patients have reported noticing a full or partial reduction as soon as four weeks after treatment. The radial shockwaves are applied in two different parts – the positive pressure pulse and the tensile wave component. The shockwave tightens around the tissue of the surrounding treatment area and breaks the grid structure of the molecules. The tensile wave then promotes the collapse of the gas pockets that are located in the fat structures that re-expand after the high energy radial shockwaves, ensuring destabilization of the fat structures.
The ZWave device features a 39-mm applicator head that transmits the radial shockwaves directly with a high precision into the tissue. The device is designed with a 12-inch color touch screen for all software operations with a controller for energy and frequency. It is also available with a hand-piece operation through a multi-directional foot switch.
The Z Fill Platform
The fourth and final collection is the Z Fill platform. With the Z Fill, the device features a hyaluronic acid filler injection that physicians can use with the Cryo 6 device that aids in rejuvenating a youthful appearance, repairing volume, and minimizing wrinkles. The collection offers the Z Fill refresh 2 which is a mesotherapy for natural regeneration, the Z Fill contour 2 which aids in a youthful appearance for improving lips, and the Z Fill Deep 2 which improves medium to deep wrinkles.
The devices use the highest quality of hyaluronic acid of non-animal origins which has become the basis of the system. The product line includes three injectable fillers whixch cover the range of facial rejuvenation and volume agumentation. The hyaluronic gels are safe and stable to use through an innovative, multi-stage manufacturing process. The properties slow down the degradation processes of the body, ensuring long-lasting, visible effects.
In order to achieve the best treatment results, the produts must be carefully and quickly injected into the middle layer of the skin. Studies prove that using the Cryo 6 air device reduces the pain sensitivity of the patient. Because of the heightened tolerance, after the procedure, the treated area is to be massaged with light pressure to ensure uniform distribution of the product.
