- correction of wrinkles (folds, grooves, nasolabial folds, around-mouth wrinkles, inter brow area).
- facial asymmetry correction
- correction of atrophic scars
- lip modeling (contour, increase of volume).
-What kind of implant (filler) to choose?
- Hyaluronic acid-based implants are used at “Helios” Medical Center, which are absorbed by the body within some period of time and later go out by a natural way. FDA approved the use of hyaluronic acid in 2009. Use of high-purity substances ensures avoiding a number of complications, including allergic reactions, while the doctor decides particularly which substance to choose based on the peculiarities of the issue.
- When do the results of the injection become visible?
-The results of the injection of hyaluronic acid-based implants become visible immediately after the intervention. But it should be mentioned that the positive results of the intervention become more visible 2-3 weeks after the procedure. This is the reason why the final results of the intervention should be assessed 20 days after the intervention.
-What kind of side-effects can occur?
-The following can occur immediately after the intervention: redness, small swelling, and hematoma which are of a temporary nature and after some time completely disappear.
-How long do the results remain?
-The results of contour plastic remain from 8 months to 2 years depending on the age of the customer, skin condition, place of injection, personal features and so on. To reach best results the injection of the implant is combined with other injection methods.
-Are there any risks for Botox injections?
-The use of botulinum toxin type A in aesthetic medicine is approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). They are of high quality and entirely harmless if injected in a right way. Botulinum toxin does not damage the nerves, but temporarily stops the transmission of nerve impulse to the neuromuscular synapse, which causes weakening of the given muscle and temporary elimination of mimic wrinkles. This process is not irreversible. The transmission of the impulses is restored in 3-6 months.
-How long do the results remain?
-The results of botulinum therapy are preserved for 3-6 months depending on the place of injection and dose of the preparation.
-What other problems can be solved in aesthetic medicine by botulinum toxin injection in addition to correction of dynamic wrinkles?
-Botulinum toxin is also used for the treatment of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). It is used for temporary prevention of excessive sweating of palms, underarms and feet. The effect of botulinum toxin on sweat glands remains 4-12 months.
-What is acne?
Acne is a disease during which excessive quantity of fat is produced that can lead to a blockage of the sebaceous gland ducts. We see it in the form of black or white comedones, which, being a foreign body, inflame the skin of the given part.
-Is there a necessity to treat acne if it will pass on its own?
There are at least two reasons why acne should be actively treated. The first one is the emergence of scars, which is a common effect of acne even when inflammatory processes are already over. The second reason is that even if the disease goes on without causing scars, it may cause a serious psychological trauma to an individual.
-How long does acne last?
Usually it starts at adolescence years and can last 4-6 years with relative improvements and worsening. In some cases the disease can last for decades.
-Which parts of the body are generally affected?
Acne is mostly typical for the skin of the face, back and the area between the breasts, where a big number of sebaceous glands are located.
-What can cause acne worsening?
- Wrong skin care at home.
- Engagement in self-treatment, inadequate hygiene
- Use of very fatty, sweet and tantalizing food.
- Overfatigue, sleep disorders
- Other diseases existing in the organism.

It is personal and depends on the largeness and prevalence.
-What are the effects of laser and photoepilation?
Light energy is directed towards the intended hair melanin and, being absorbed by it, increases the temperature of hair follicles (hair root). The penetrated light, increasing the temperature of hair follicles, coagulates the hair root and the nourishing vessel. The result is a long-term depilation.
-What technologies does “Helios” Medical Center apply for removing unwanted hair?

- The procedure is fast and comfortable
- The treatment is harmless for any kind of skin
- Ensures quick return to everyday activities.
-How does Skin Sataion system work?
The Skin Sataion, LHETM (light and heat energy) technology works by the principle of selective photothermolysis (wavelength 400-1200 nm). The uniqueness of the method is the simultaneous application of energies of both light and heat. The effectiveness of photoepilation largely depends on the hair color and skin type. It is maximally effective for pale skin (I and II phototype) with black or dark hair. But in contrast to laser epilation, it is also applied for the removal of pale hair.
