Bitter lines treatment in Beaulieu-sur-Mer

Bitter lines

The bitterness fold, also known as “marionette lines”, is a mark of time that can give a false impression of sadness to those around you.

However, modern aesthetic medicine offers subtle and effective solutions for reducing these marks of time without altering the natural expression of the face. At Dr Filippini’s practice in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, we understand the importance of treating these signs of ageing discreetly and professionally.

HIFU: medical facelift

HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a promising aesthetic medicine technique for reducing bitterness folds. This technology stimulates the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, reducing the depth of folds and improving the elasticity of the area concerned.

The results of HIFU on bitterness folds are generally visible after a few weeks and can last up to two years. The number of sessions required varies from person to person, but is generally between one and three. Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes.

The side effects of HIFU are very discreet and temporary. They may include erythema, oedema and sensitivity in the treated area.
HIFU is proving to be an effective alternative to surgery for people wishing to reduce bitterness folds without resorting to an invasive procedure.

Microneedling Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency Microneedling is an innovative technique that combines the benefits of microneedling and radiofrequency to reduce bitterness lines. This non-invasive technique stimulates collagen production and redensifies the skin, for a natural, long-lasting result.

The session lasts approximately 45 minutes and an anaesthetic cream is applied beforehand to ensure the patient’s comfort. Fine sterile needles are used to create micro-lesions in the skin and stimulate collagen production. Radiofrequency, meanwhile, heats the deeper layers of the skin for a tightening and lifting effect.

The treatment visibly reduces bitterness folds, improves skin texture and tone, and restores firmer, more elastic skin.

On average, 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart are required to achieve optimal results. A half-yearly session is recommended to maintain the results.

Filler injections are one of the most popular options for treating bitterness folds. The fillers used at Dr Filippini’s surgery are carefully selected to ensure natural, long-lasting results. These fillers work by filling hollows and restoring lost volume, creating a more youthful and fulfilled appearance.

Carboxytherapy is a promising aesthetic technique for reducing bitterness folds. This non-invasive procedure uses carbon dioxide to stimulate blood and lymph circulation, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin.
In practice, a session lasts a few minutes and consists of small injections of CO2 under the skin. Although slightly uncomfortable, these injections have no serious side effects and leave the treated area slightly red and swollen for a short time.

With natural, long-lasting results lasting up to 12 months, carboxytherapy is an effective alternative to hyaluronic acid injections and surgery for the treatment of bitterness folds.
