“I've already heard about exoprotectors several times. What it is? What role do these injections play in the system of skin rejuvenation and maintenance? Can they be combined with other cosmetic procedures?"
Christina, 36
Expert's answer:
Exoprotective drugs belong to the group of drugs for biorevitalization. They contain a large set of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins and hyaluronic acid, which fight not only biological aging of the skin, but also harmful factors that affect the acceleration of this process from the outside. In short, they are needed in order to protect the skin from the negative effects of the environment: from the destructive effects of ultraviolet radiation; from man-made pollutants - exhaust gases, dust, dirt; radiation of screens of computers and telephones. Residents of megacities are constantly exposed to their negative influence. In particular, both men and women who lead an active lifestyle, but are deprived of quality sleep and are subject to frequent stress, suffer. In this category of patients, which in our time are the majority,the aging process is accelerated due to the permanent load on the body.
Exoprotective drugs help the skin to resist harmful external influences, improving its condition. It must be said that the richer the composition of the exoprotector, the greater the result can be expected from its use. It is especially valuable when the formula includes not only the aforementioned amino acids, hyaluronic acid and trace elements, but also magnesium, calcium, zinc, vitamins D and C. Only in this case, in addition to the expected improvement in skin quality, you can count on protection against photoaging and other important bonuses.
Today, exoprotectors play a key role in the rejuvenation system, and they are often combined with hardware techniques - photorejuvenation, laser resurfacing, ultrasound lifting, as well as contour plastics. A combination of exoprotector and cosmetic peels gives excellent results. Another important difference between the drug and other biorevitalizants is the absence of vitamin B complex. In practice, this means that it can be combined with botulinum toxin before / after / during the procedure. By the way, he has no more contraindications than any other injectable drugs.
