The Two Stage EVOLASTIN™ Minilift by Dr. Kuzmar

I, my friends, have found myself in such a predicament.

For the greater part of one year, I have spent countless hours pondering and developing a treatment protocol and technique that I feel will represent the most effective intervention in the pursuit of the Holy Grail of Aesthetic medicine, the elusive Non-Surgical Facelift. Yes, but a truly serious option, one with serious results comparable to facelift surgery. One characterized by more than mere retraction of tissue, but approached from a more natural aesthetically sensitive perspective. One that makes perfect sense by addressing the actual deep structural as well as textural changes that occur in the ageing face. One that ultimately produces natural as well as lasting results.

My personal experience with the revolutionary new ePRIME deep dermal volumizing technology along with the latest advances in dermal filler technology and technique for the mid to lower face has really inspired my confidence in the pursuit of this goal.

About one year ago, the new ePRIME technology from Syneron-Candela became a personal obsession. The revolutionary injectable RF (radio frequency) delivery system with combined real-time temperature and impedance feedback was unique to any existing current technology in the global market. The prospect of creating robust amounts of new deep dermal supportive collagen, hyaluronic acid and for the first time histologically proven elastin was fascinating.

At the same time that I was observing the endless possibilities with my new technology, I was refining my personal protocols in the area of advanced dermal filler lifting techniques in the mid to lower face.

Through substantial personal clinical experience, I found as great as highly viscoelastic HA dermal filler was, if the deep dermal support matrix was "too lax or not thick enough", it would limit the success of the final result ... a nice vs. wow result ... I personally shoot for wow.

Then I remembered my father, who was a general contractor, laying tiles in the kitchen. It was important to him that he had a good supportive metal mesh upon which to work. Then he would fill with concrete and lay the tiles down perfectly. It was apparent that this component of the work was critical in getting that beautiful and smooth appearance to the floor.

Then it dawned on me ... ePRIME was going to give me the "mesh" that I needed to support and maximize the dermal filler lifting effect I could achieve especially in the ageing lower face of the 50+ year old patient.

So I started adding my dermal filler lifting protocol at about week 10-12 in my ePRIME/EVOLASTIN clients.

And guess what? ... Wow was the only thing I could say ... The lift especially in the lower face was beyond what could have been expected with dermal filler alone.

This combined approach was now effectively producing 50-60% or more of the result compared to surgical intervention. I have since continued to refine the finer details of this protocol and can confidently say that this far less expensive, minimally invasive intervention represents a real option for those patients unwilling to go under the knife but want the best possible non-surgical results in the least number of sittings.

As I have already alluded to in previously published magazine articles … the new era of minimally invasive facial enhancement has truly begun ...
