Spider web aesthetics is a medical aesthetic procedure that aims for the skin of the face to look firm and toned. What it will change, and to what extent, depends on the person’s skin structure, their expectation for the face and the doctor’s evaluation. It is one of the options discussed for people who are not considering surgery but want a more toned look on their face.
What spider web aesthetics is, in brief
Spider web aesthetics is a procedure done on the face to support the skin and make it look firmer. It takes its name from the application plan following a web-like pattern. For the details of the method and its mechanism of action, you can look at the article in which we explain how the spider web technique works.
What changes on the face is, in general, the feeling of looseness in the skin and the look of the lines. The bone structure of the face or the person’s own expression does not change; the aim is to preserve the natural look.
In which areas it is applied
Spider web aesthetics is a procedure considered mainly for the face area. Which area is suitable is determined at the doctor’s examination according to the structure of the face and the complaint.
- The cheek and jawline area for people who feel looseness in the oval of the face
- Areas where the firm look of the skin has decreased
- Other facial areas that the doctor finds suitable
Because the choice of area changes from person to person, the same plan is not applied to every face.
How the procedure is done
The procedure begins with an examination and planning, and then the application is carried out under the doctor’s supervision. The stages are generally as follows:
- Examination of the face and a discussion of expectations
- Planning of the areas to be treated
- Preparation of the area and carrying out the application
- Giving post-procedure care recommendations
Since the duration of the application, the material to be used and the technical details vary from person to person, it is right to learn these from your doctor at the examination. For the general framework of the service, you can review our Izmir spider web aesthetics page.
Who it is suitable for and who it is not
Suitability is determined by the doctor according to the condition of the skin and the person’s health history. In general, people who want a more toned look on the face with a non-surgical method are evaluated.
The following situations must definitely be told to the doctor at the examination:
- Regularly used medications and known health problems
- A skin infection, wound or active inflammation in the area to be treated
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Aesthetic procedures previously done on the face
In situations such as very advanced sagging, another method may be more suitable. For this reason a face-to-face evaluation is needed before deciding on the procedure.
Daily life after the procedure
Returning to daily life after the procedure varies according to the person’s skin and the scope of the application. Following the care recommendations the doctor will give is the most important part of the process.
Most people wonder when they can return to work and social life. Talking about this with your doctor before the application makes it easier to arrange your calendar accordingly. We also covered how routines are affected in our article about daily routines.
As for makeup, you can read when you can start in our makeup article.
How long the effect lasts
The duration of the effect is not the same for everyone; skin structure, age, lifestyle and the general condition of the face are decisive. For this reason it would not be right to state a single duration that applies to everyone.
Sun protection, skin care and the check-ups the doctor recommends help maintain the look. The healthiest approach is to talk about the expected duration at the examination, based on your own skin.
What is looked at in the doctor’s evaluation
In the doctor’s evaluation, the overall structure of the face, the condition of the skin and the person’s expectation are considered together. The aim is to make the right plan for the person for whom the procedure will really work.
- The elasticity of the skin and the level of looseness
- The symmetry and proportions of the facial lines
- Health history, medications used and allergies
- Whether the expectation is achievable with the procedure
At the end of this evaluation, spider web aesthetics may not be found suitable; in that case the doctor recommends a different option.
