Les techniques d’injection évoluent constamment pour offrir de meilleurs résultats esthétiques tout en minimisant les risques pour les patients. En 2024, certaines méthodes gagnent en popularité parmi les médecins.
Parmi ces techniques, l’utilisation de micro-canules pour une distribution plus homogène de l’acide hyaluronique et la réduction des ecchymoses est particulièrement prisée. De même, les techniques de pointage avancées, comme les MD Codes™, permettent une approche personnalisée et précise, adaptée aux besoins uniques de chaque visage.
Ces innovations s’accompagnent également de nouvelles technologies, telles que l’imagerie par ultrasons pour une meilleure visibilité des structures anatomiques, offrant ainsi un niveau de sécurité et de confort inégalé pour les patients. De plus, l’adoption de dispositifs d’injection automatisée révolutionne la pratique en garantissant une administration contrôlée et précise, réduisant davantage le risque de complications et optimisant les résultats finaux. Ces dispositifs peuvent être utiles pour les médecins moins expérimentés.
Ces avancées témoignent d’une volonté constante d’améliorer l’expérience des patients et de repousser les limites des traitements esthétiques non chirurgicaux.
The microcannula technique has become one of the most popular methods for hyaluronic acid injection in 2024. Unlike traditional needles, microcannulas are flexible tools with a rounded tip that allow precise distribution of hyaluronic acid while minimizing the risk of bruising, ecchymosis, and damage to blood vessels.
This technique is particularly suited for treating delicate areas such as dark circles and upper eyelid, lips and cheeks, where safety and gentleness are crucial.
Microcannulas also allow for more even product distribution, ensuring natural and uniform results.
Additionally, thanks to their flexibility, patient comfort is significantly improved.
La méthode du “Blanching” est une technique d’injection spécifique qui consiste à injecter de petites quantités d’acide hyaluronique dans les couches superficielles de la peau pour corriger les rides fines et les ridules. Cette technique est particulièrement efficace pour traiter les lip wrinkles, forehead wrinkles and pattes d’oie.
L’avantage principal du “Blanching” est qu’il permet une amélioration subtile et naturelle de la qualité de la peau sans ajouter de volume excessif. En injectant le produit très près de la surface de la peau, on obtient un effet “blanchissant” temporaire, qui disparaît rapidement pour un résultat durable et harmonieux. Ce procédé est idéal pour les patients recherchant un rajeunissement discret sans changement drastique. Cette procédure se limite au traitement des rides superficielles.
In 2024, advanced mapping techniques such as the MD Codes™ method or the 5-point lift technique are increasingly adopted by physicians. These methods rely on precise facial mapping, where each injection point is carefully planned to optimize structural support and enhance overall appearance. The MD Codes™, for instance, are a series of specific injection points that take into account each patient’s unique anatomy, allowing the restoration of lost volume and the enhancement of facial features in a natural way. These advanced mapping techniques minimize the risk of asymmetry and make it possible to personalize treatment according to each patient’s aesthetic needs.
La technique du “Russian Lips” continue de séduire en 2024. Cette méthode d’injection d’acide hyaluronique vise à créer des lips pulpeuses avec un arc de Cupidon bien prononcé, en injectant le produit verticalement dans les lèvres plutôt qu’horizontalement.
La technique du “Russian Lips” permet de lifter les lèvres, en augmentant leur hauteur sans les projeter.
Elle est particulièrement appréciée pour ses résultats naturels et sa capacité à s’adapter aux proportions du visage du patient et est idéale pour les patients cherchant à obtenir des lèvres plus volumineuses et définies mais sans l’aspect artificiel. Cependant, cette méthode nécessite une grande précision et une grande expertise pour éviter l’injection d’une dose excessive de produit et assurer un résultat harmonieux.
The “Soft Lift” technique is an innovative approach that uses small amounts of hyaluronic acid injected at strategic points of the face to achieve a lifting effect without surgery. This treatment is particularly effective for patients seeking rejuvenation but unwilling to accept the risks and recovery associated with a surgical facelift. The technique is based on injecting hyaluronic acid into areas of the face prone to sagging, such as the cheekbones, chin, and jawline. The “Soft Lift” makes it possible to restore lost volume and enhance facial contours naturally and subtly. In short, a true medical lift. This technique is ideal for individuals with moderate signs of aging who wish to regain a younger, more toned face.
The emergence of new technologies and devices in 2024 further improves the safety and effectiveness of hyaluronic acid injections. The integration of ultrasound imaging into aesthetic practices allows physicians to visualize subcutaneous structures with precision. Automated injection devices serve as a useful aid for beginner practitioners. Moreover, new technologies such as smart sensors integrated into syringes provide real-time feedback on injection depth and pressure, thereby enhancing precision and safety. These technical innovations enable physicians to better tailor their procedures to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring more harmonious and natural results while offering a more comfortable and secure experience.
The use of ultrasound imaging during hyaluronic acid injections is a rapidly growing trend in 2024.
This technology allows doctors to visualize subcutaneous structures in real-time and ensure that the product is injected in the correct location, thus minimizing the risk of complications.
Thanks to ultrasound, it is possible to detect blood vessels and avoid perforating them, significantly reducing the risks of skin necrosis or embolism.
Ultrasound imaging also makes it possible to assess the position of the injected hyaluronic acid, optimizing aesthetic results and adjusting the treatment accordingly.
Automated injection devices, such as needle-free injectors and injector pens, are booming in 2024. These tools allow for controlled and precise administration of hyaluronic acid, thereby reducing pain, bruising, and the risk of overinjection. Needle-free injectors, for instance, use controlled pressure to deliver the product under the skin without the need for a needle. This technique is less invasive and more comfortable for the patient; however, the results are not comparable to those of traditional injection methods, as the injected products differ and deep injections are not possible. Injector pens enable physicians to precisely measure the amount of hyaluronic acid injected, ensuring even and customized distribution.
With the constant evolution of hyaluronic acid injection techniques and technologies, it is essential for injecting physicians to stay up to date in terms of training and skills. In 2024, the focus is on improving technical expertise and mastering new approaches to ensure optimal and safe results for patients.
Numerous specialized training programs are available for physicians wishing to improve their skills in advanced hyaluronic acid injection techniques. These programs offer practical training on the use of microcannulas, the “Blanching” method, advanced mapping techniques, and more. Physicians learn to tailor treatments to each patient’s specific needs, using the latest innovations to achieve natural and harmonious results.
Due to the growing importance of ultrasound imaging in hyaluronic acid injections, more and more practitioners are choosing to obtain certifications in this field. These certifications allow physicians to become familiar with the use of ultrasound in aesthetic practice, to understand subcutaneous anatomy in detail, and to minimize the risks associated with injections.
With the rise of automated injection devices, specific workshops are also being offered to train physicians in the use of these tools. These practical sessions cover best practices to maximize the effectiveness and safety of injections, as well as guidance on how to integrate these new technologies into their daily practice.
In 2024, patient demand for hyaluronic acid injections continues to grow, with a clear preference for natural and personalized results. Patients are seeking less invasive treatments with minimal downtime while achieving noticeable aesthetic improvements.
