Neck Neck Laser Modeling

Clinical picture

Excessive adiposity in the neck can be caused by hereditary factors, overweight, diseases such as hypothyroidism and Cushing's syndrome.

The adiposity of the neck ages us and makes us look obese.

After the intervention, will my skin be sagging?

All patients think that once fat is removed, sagging will increase.
On the contrary, not only does it not increase sagging, but you will notice a more tonic, taut and defined neck.

How does it work?

  • Eliminates excess adipose tissue.
  • It favors the retraction of the neck tissues.
  • Lifting effect without removing skin, by stimulating collagen

Eye bags

What are dark circles?

Dark circles are a complex condition influenced by various anatomical factors. Below are the main factors that contribute to its appearance:

  1. Fat bags on the lower eyelid.
  2. Malar fat volume loss due to aging or genetic factors.
  3. Lower eyelid lengthening, caused by aging or lack of volume in the malar region.
  4. Groove or tear canal, produced by aging or constitutional predisposition.
  5. Skin factors, related to the texture, color and wrinkles of the skin.

Most patients with dark circles have a lack of volume in the malar region. To effectively correct dark circles, it is essential to restore lost volume in this area.

Aesthetic Impact of Dark Circles

Dark circles make the face less attractive, giving an appearance of tiredness and sadness. They are often believed to be difficult to treat, but each case can be addressed with specialized and personalized treatment.

Treatment with Hyaluronic Acid

Fillers with hyaluronic acid, when applied correctly, offer an immediate improvement, not only in dark circles, but also in the aesthetics of the eyelid and cheekbone. This treatment attenuates eyelid bags and the tear canal, significantly improving facial appearance.

Study cases

Patient 1

screenshot-2024-06-02-at-18-48-20-2-8621402

This patient had bags in her lower eyelid, which were removed through a transconjunctival incision, a procedure that leaves no visible scars. To improve the appearance of the skin, a carbon dioxide laser was used to lighten and tighten the skin. Additionally, volume was added to the malar region with hyaluronic acid. All of this was done in less than 30 minutes under local anesthesia and sedation.

Process:

  • Removal of bags from the lower eyelid through transconjunctival incision.
  • Carbon dioxide laser skin rejuvenation.
  • Volume with hyaluronic acid in the malar region.

Result:

  • Clearer and tighter skin.
  • Restored volume in the malar region.
  • Quick procedure, without visible scars.

Academic works

Patient 2

In this case study, the same procedure that had previously been performed on another patient was performed on Patient 2. This treatment focuses on the correction of certain facial features to improve aesthetic appearance, focusing primarily on the vertical linea nigra that extends from the tarsal edge to the palpebromalar junction.

Preoperative and Postoperative Observations

PHOTO 2-A

  • Preoperative:
    • The vertical black line runs from the tarsal edge to the palpebromalar junction.
    • This line is long, which is considered unsightly because it gives the appearance of a long eyelid occupying the malar region.
  • Postoperative:
    • The black line is shorter.
    • The eyelid is shorter, which is a sign of beauty and youth.
PHOTO 2-Bscreenshot-2024-06-02-at-18-58-01-2293227
  • Preoperative:
    • In the photo on the left, you can see the lack of projection of the cheekbone and a lower eyelid that extends and occupies the malar region.
  • Postoperative:
    • In the photo on the right, you can see a projection of the cheekbone and a shortening of the lower eyelid.
    • The patient acquired a natural beauty.
PHOTO 2-C

    • In the photo on the left, the oval is vertical, which is an unsightly sign.
  • Postoperative:
    • In the photo on the right, you can see a horizontal oval.
    • A natural projection of the cheekbone is observed, absence of bags in the lower eyelid and no visible scars.
    • There is a projection of the cheekbone and a shortening of the lower eyelid.
    • All of this represents natural beauty, youth and a fresh, rested expression.

Patient 3

This patient had dark circles under her eyes due to aging, with eyelid bags and wrinkles, as well as a lack of volume in the malar region. An advanced eyelid surgery technique was performed without visible scars, combined with carbon dioxide laser facial rejuvenation and malar volume augmentation.

Process:

  • Eyelid surgery without visible scars (Hoogstra technique).
  • Facial rejuvenation with carbon dioxide laser.
  • Increase and projection of the malar.

Result:

Patient 4

PHOTO A

screenshot-2024-06-02-at-19-13-55-5093417

Clinical features:

  1. Fatty bags in the lower eyelid.
  2. Long lower eyelid.
  3. Lack of projection and volume of the cheekbone.
  4. Tear channel.
  5. It does not present wrinkles or skin aging.

Patient Preferences:

  • You do not want to treat the lower eyelid bags at this time.

Treatment Performed

Procedure:

  • Application of two ampoules of hyaluronic acid, one on each cheekbone.

Immediate Results Observed:

  1. Attenuation of the bags of the lower eyelid due to the increase in volume in the cheekbone, which reduces the protrusion of the bags.
  2. Disappearance of the tear canal.
  3. Significant improvement in the aesthetics of the cheekbone.
  4. Shortening of the palpebromalar distance.

Professional Comments:

  • The treatment is considered almost magical because it is painless, fast, outpatient, with natural results and without adverse effects.
  • The result could be improved with one more ampoule of hyaluronic acid, but it is preferred to advance slowly and allow the patient to decide about increasing volume.
  • Avoid treating patients who desire excessive volume that may result in an unnatural appearance.

Duration and Additional Benefits:

  • The filling must be repeated every 20 months, although sometimes it lasts longer.
  • Hyaluronic acid not only provides volume, but also hydrates and stimulates collagen, which can reduce the amount needed over time.

Treatment Reversibility:

  • If the result is not satisfactory, hyaluronidase can be applied to degrade the material.
  • Until now, it has not been necessary to use this enzyme in patients treated at this center.

PHOTO B

screenshot-2024-06-02-at-19-13-43-5624069

Patient Presentation

Clinical features:

  • Depression that extends from the inner corner of the eye to the cheek, known as the tear groove or trough.
  • Triangular-shaped lower eyelid whose tip goes into the sulcus.
  • Long eyelid, “rained” and tucked into the cheek.
  • Lack of cheekbone projection, probably hereditary.

Aesthetic Effects:

  • Appearance of sadness, tiredness and old age due to the aforementioned factors.

PHOTO C

screenshot-2024-06-02-at-19-13-34-6492058

Procedure:

  • Application of a filler ampoule.

Immediate Results Observed:

  1. Improved aesthetics of the cheekbone.
  2. Disappearance of the tear canal.
  3. Shortening of the eyelid; the palpebromalar junction is closer to the eye than the cheek.
  4. Attenuation of lower eyelid bags.

Professional Comments:

  • Patients are fascinated by the speed, the immediate result, the naturalness, the absence of bruising and the indolence of the treatment.
  • Sometimes more than one or two syringes are needed to obtain the desired result. You start with a smaller amount and evaluate if more volume is necessary in a subsequent session.

Complementary Treatment:

  • Helios depigmentation laser: It attenuates skin color and treats blemishes, in addition to stimulating collagen and improving the appearance of the skin. A minimum of 6 sessions is recommended, one every 15 days or one per month. For more information on dark spot treatment, Click here.

Frequent questions

  • Is the application of hyaluronic acid painful? Not at all.
  • Should I rest after the procedure? There's no need.
  • How long does the effect of the filler last? Approximately two years.
  • How does the skin look after the filler disappears? The skin improves, since hyaluronic acid stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.

Alexandra Pedroza

2 weeks ago I had the opportunity to undergo surgery for the second time, I had a forehead lift-endoscopy and the first time was in 2019, it was a blepharoplasty, they removed the fat from my eyelids. Due to the pandemic, it was only possible for me to return this year. Dr. Hoogstra's way of working is incredible! You remain as if nothing had happened. It didn't hurt at all, I didn't take a single analgesic for the pain, I didn't have any pain and the recovery was very fast. It is worth traveling from the United States for the second time. Since the security of not taking any risks and of looking good is guaranteed. I tried to take a friend with me who wanted to have a face and neck lift and my friend didn't want to go, she went to Cancun Mexico, because it was cheaper for her. They left her with facial paralysis on the entire left side of her face. Dr. Hoogstra takes care of you and treats you as if you were his family. And his work team is fantastic. Very attentive girls. Josefina, Lucia, José Luis, thank you, even the lady who was bringing coffee to my husband. I do not remember his name . She is in charge of caring for the patients' families. And he helped me get dressed. Very grateful to all of you. A piece of advice to all people who want to have facial beautification. Please see him with a doctor who is highly trained. It is not easy to travel to Argentina from Texas, United States. But the effort is worth it since I put myself in the hands of an eminence in surgery Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra.🤗🤗🤗🤗

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

The passing of the years and the loss of weight produce sagging of all body tissues, the skin of the arms does not escape this phenomenon. This fact generates in the person who suffers it a aesthetic discomfort. We have had a large number of patients who attended our centers our Centers of both sexes to carry out a treatment against this situation.

The solution to sagging arms

The difficulty that existed until a while ago was the unsightly scar left by the conventional technique. Due to its anatomical characteristics, the skin on the inner side of the arm is not adequate to accommodate a scar, which in most cases despite the precautions taken by the surgeon trained in this procedure, widens, proving to be highly visible and unsightly.

For some time in our centers we have developed lthe technique of leaving the scar on the back of the arm. The dermis on the back of the arm is thicker and therefore has less chance of widening. The back of the arm is generally the closest to the body and therefore the least seen. With this simple change in technique, we have managed to improve the aesthetic result of the arm lift, obtaining greater patient satisfaction. Thanks to this we managed to get some stylized and harmonic arms with the body.

How is it the procedure?

This surgery is performed by the Dr.Ricardo Hoogstra. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, with sedation assisted by an anesthesiologist. The patient retires to his home a short time later and the next day he can continue his activity.

Postoperative

He surgery time is approximately 30 minutes. The residence time in the Clinic is approximately 3 to 4 hours.

Patients traveling from the interior of the country or abroad must be the day before surgery and may return 48 or 72 hours after surgery.

Arm Lifting Price

The cost of the intervention is made with prior evaluation of the Dr. Hoogstra. The query value is U$D 100  which are reimbursed in the total amount of the procedure.

Dermopigmentation (eyebrows, lips and eyelids)

The dermopigmentation technique, also called micropigmentation or permanent makeup, it works at the level of the deep epidermis and for this reason it is a long-term treatment (approximately 3 to 4 years).

It is a procedure fast and effective in order to enhance the features, correct asymmetries, depigmentation and dyschromia achieving immediate changes.

How is it the procedure?

It consists of the superficial implantation in the skin of some pigments, by means of micro-needles. Dermopigmentation or semi-permanent chromatic makeup represents an option to obtain, even if only for simple comfort, a stable and unalterable aesthetic make-up. Everything is done with disposable material, under total quality control.

What kind of pigments do we use?

The pigments are natural of vegetable origin, they do not have preservatives or chemicals, for that reason they do not last a lifetime and are reabsorbed over time (from two to three years). 

It has no contraindications, it is performed under local anesthesia and allows immediate results to be seen.

Before and after

In which parts of the body can it be applied?

It is mainly used in lips, eyebrows and eyelids. It is done on eyebrows sparse and/or asymmetrical, through the hair-to-hair technique, an eyebrow with a natural effect is achieved, leaving them perfect every day with an ideal frame for the face.

In eyes It allows to give it a frame with the technique of dotting on the birth of eyelashes, achieving a delicate finish. With the linear technique, it gives a more rigid outline, achieving an intense look on both the upper and lower eyelids.

In the lips A visual effect of lip augmentation is achieved by simply making a design that improves asymmetries and loss of color, with the pigments the edges are defined and they regain freshness and sensuality.

Micropigmentation is also used for reconstructive purposes, not only aesthetic. In the case of breast reconstruction due to mastectomy or alopecia of the scalp, eyelashes or eyebrows, or due to hair loss due to chemotherapy, the procedure is the same. The area is drawn with the corresponding measurements, anesthetic cream is applied locally and the work is carried out with excellent results that help to overcome these difficulties.
