Facial rejuvenation procedures

Anti-aging procedures are modern cosmetic methods, the action of which is aimed at correcting skin changes caused by age. Mostly they have a hardware or injection focus. The choice of a specific type is based on the individual characteristics of the patient. Age and physiological characteristics, existing indications, contraindications, as well as the condition of the thermal layer are taken into account. Facial rejuvenation procedures are classified by type, but the vast majority are characterized by versatility.

Indications for anti-aging procedures

Many women begin to think about their first appointment with a cosmetologist when the first wrinkles, knots and wrinkles of the skin appear. Other signs that indicate the need to visit a specialist are:

• predisposition to the early appearance of facial wrinkles;
• pale skin color;
• uneven complexion, regardless of rest and pace of life;
• persistent dry skin, accompanied by peeling and irritation;
• wide circles under the eyes;
• facial swelling.

Doctors recommend not to wait for the first negative changes to appear on the face, but to constantly maintain the skin tone. Then you can achieve facial rejuvenation even after 60 and avoid serious problems in older age.

Cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation

Depending on the effect, there are several types of facial rejuvenation procedures:

• Nutritious. They fill the skin with useful substances aimed at improving its condition.
• Stimulating. They promote the natural restoration of the epidermis, during which collagen-elastin reproduction occurs.
• Supportive. It improves the structural bonds of the skin, slowing down the formation of wrinkles and wrinkles.
• Corrective. Fill in lost tissue volume or perform skin tightening.

Fractional laser resurfacing

It is a deep treatment of the skin layer by exposing it to high temperatures. The procedure involves the use of a laser to burn the surface cells of the skin, affecting its deeper layers. As a result, the renewal process is activated, during which elastin and collagen are synthesized, which are the "building materials" of our epidermis. The effect is expressed in a visible tightening of the facial contour, smoothing wrinkles and lifting the corners of the eyes.

The procedure is performed under the supervision of a cosmetologist, who individually selects the strength, depth and temperature of the beam. After the first session, positive changes are noticed, which are long-term.

Fractional laser resurfacing helps with:

• deterioration of the skin condition, accompanied by a decrease in its tone and loss of elasticity;
• pigmentation;
• wounds and scars;
• acne and its consequences;
• stretch marks;
• wrinkles;
• enlarged pores;
• drooping eyelids.

The main advantage of laser rejuvenation is the renewal of the skin layer. During a procedure, about 20% of the tissue is removed, at the same time the process of forming new skin structures begins. Other benefits include:

• A lot of influence. Laser exposure allows you to overcome several skin problems at the same time. For example, smooth wrinkles, tighten pores and get rid of pigmentation.
• Skill. The procedure is performed on all types of skin, with different thicknesses and degrees of sensitivity.
• Delicacy. The ability to work with lasers on areas with a thin layer of skin: decollete, eyelids, neck.
• Lack of rehabilitation. Applying makeup is allowed the day after the procedure.
• Lack of invasiveness. Laser rejuvenation is a gentle method to combat age-related skin changes, as light local anesthesia is used and the duration of the procedure does not exceed 60 minutes, which depends on the area being treated.

However, it is important to consider the contraindications:

• epilepsy;
• period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• psoriasis;
• atopic dermatitis and other allergic skin manifestations in the acute phase;
• very dry skin surface;
• the presence of wounds and inflammation in the affected area.

Before starting each procedure, a consultation is carried out, during which an assessment of the patient's skin, the presence of contraindications, as well as explanations about the effect and available methods of pain relief are made. After this:

• the skin is prepared for laser exposure by cleaning it, followed by the application of an analgesic cream;
• It is performed on the surface of the skin with a nozzle, inside which there is a laser. Depending on the severity, the skin area can be treated several times;
• Products that have a soothing effect are applied to the dermis.

To achieve the desired result, a course of several procedures is usually required, between which there should be an interval of six months.

Often, the laser leaves a small swelling and redness in the affected area, as well as causing dryness and inflammation, which disappear on their own after 2-4 days. To speed up healing, it is recommended to apply cosmetics with panthenol to the skin and use sun protection. To hydrate, use formulations based on hyaluronic acid.

Botulinum therapy

This is an effective facial rejuvenation procedure, the essence of which is the use of injectable preparations based on botulinum toxin type "A". The tension of the facial muscles provokes the appearance of hypertonicity, which leads to the formation of wrinkles, skin wrinkles and asymmetry. Botulinum toxin has a relaxing effect on muscle spasms, resulting in a natural softening of the skin layer.

Botulinum therapy is indicated for:

• spasmodic facial muscles;
• deep wrinkles;
• hyperhidrosis, manifested by increased sweating of the upper and lower extremities, as well as the armpits.

It is important to consider the contraindications:

• skin inflammation;
• mental and neurological disorders;
• chronic forms of diseases that are in the acute phase;
• malignant tumor neoplasms;
• minor age.

The renewal process is carried out in a lying position and begins with the treatment of the facial skin with antiseptic preparations. In case of increased skin sensitivity, local anesthesia is given. After that, using an ultra-thin syringe needle, botulinum toxin is injected into the dermis at a depth of 2-3 mm. The duration of an average session lasts about half an hour. The next is performed after 4-6 months.

After the injections, small bumps called papules appear on the skin, which disappear on their own within 24 hours. It is recommended to spend the first 4 hours after the injection in a vertical position. Treated areas should not be massaged; for 5 days avoid visiting the bathhouse, solarium, sauna, sunbathing and muscle tension.

Bioreinforcement

It is an innovative method of face lifting without surgical intervention, the essence of which is the introduction of a stabilized preparation of hyaluronic acid under the skin layer, which has a biostimulating effect.

The procedure is indicated for small wrinkles and other negative skin changes. It shows particular effectiveness when:

• deep folds and wrinkles;
• reduction of skin tone, loss of elasticity;
• uneven pale complexion;
• bag-like and blue circles in the area under the eyes;
• extra chin, jowls, ptosis.

Stabilized hyaluronic acid promotes natural tissue regeneration by stimulating the production of collagen-elastin, which strengthens the contour of the face.

The main advantage of bioreinforcement is its almost completely non-traumatic nature with no automatic rehabilitation. Other advantages of the procedure include:

• the compatibility of the formulations used, which eliminates the possibility of rejection by the body;
• comfort and absence of pain during therapy and at the end of it;
• immediate effect;
• minimal risk of complications.

Hyaluronic acid does not cause allergic reactions and is completely compatible with tissues. The drug is administered under the skin according to a special scheme, which leads to the formation of new skin structures.

There are several stages of the procedure:

• Preparation and cleaning of the surface layer of the skin.
• Application of anesthetic gel.
• Injection of a composition of a gel-like structure.
• Uniform distribution of grass.
• The formation of a biological "framework" from threads.

At the end of the procedure, small marks from the injections appear, which disappear by themselves after a short time.

It is important to consider the contraindications:

• period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• autoimmune pathologies in the acute phase;
• blood coagulation disorders;
• acute form of viral and infectious diseases;
• treatment available for certain drug categories.

To increase the effect, bioreinforcement is recommended to be carried out in courses throughout the year. The result lasts until the medicine is completely dissolved.

Microcurrent therapy

It is a rejuvenation procedure under the influence of microcurrent pulses, which results in the tightening of the facial contour, as well as other positive changes:

• eliminating the double chin;
• getting rid of ptosis;
• smoothing wrinkles and wrinkles.

Under the influence of current discharges, muscle contraction occurs, resulting in the active functioning of the circulatory and lymphatic systems, which stimulate metabolic processes in cells. Cellular structures are enriched with oxygen and water, which leads to their accelerated division. On the other hand, cellular regeneration is the key to effective rejuvenation, which is manifested in the freshness and firmness of the skin.

Microcurrent therapy is performed in several stages:

• Preparation. It requires compliance with the drinking regime throughout the course. On the day of the procedure, it is especially important to drink plenty of clean water, which will help cleanse the body of toxins and waste.
• Cleaning. To increase the rejuvenating effect of microcurrents, you can use enzyme peeling or microdermabrasion. However, it is enough to remove the makeup and wash away the sebum.
• Impact. Electrolytes, which are conductive compounds for electrical impulses, are applied to the treated area. Problem areas are treated using special electrodes.

The average session time is 40 minutes. The procedure is completely painless; in rare cases, a tingling sensation may occur. At the end of the therapy there is no need to use auxiliary agents.

Among the advantages of microcurrent therapy, it is worth mentioning:

• there is no recovery period;
• safety and absence of pain;
• long-term preservation of the effect;
• the almost complete absence of contraindications, which include cancer, epilepsy, skin lesions caused by infectious pathogens, the presence of pacemakers and medical implants;
• increasing the effect of other anti-aging techniques;
• accelerated tissue regeneration.

To obtain a stable result, a course of 10-12 sessions of microcurrent therapy is recommended. The first positive changes are observed after 3-4 sessions.

Facial mesotherapy does not require a special rehabilitation period. However, it is better to refuse important meetings and dates. because after the injections, small bumps are created on the skin, which disappear within a few days. The body procedure, which affects weight loss and figure correction, is performed in a course of 7-10 sessions with a break of 2 weeks. To treat the scalp, hyaluronic acid is added to the restorative cocktail. To improve hair growth and prevent increased hair loss, a course of 4-12 sessions is recommended.

RF face lift

Another name is radiolifting. It is a unique procedure for skin rejuvenation, which is a worthy alternative to plastic surgery. The strength of the skin is provided by collagen fibers, which stretch with age and lead to sagging. Radiolifting uses bipolar radio waves that provoke fiber contraction. The positive effect is visible after the first session.

The advantages of RF lift are:

• Rehabilitation. For several days after the procedure, you should refrain from going to the bath, sauna and exposure to UV rays.

Mesotherapy is recommended to be performed in courses of 7 to 10 sessions.

Plastic outline

• applying anesthetic cream. If the drug contains an analgesic component, this step is skipped;
• injection of fillers in the selected area;
• skin cleansing;
• care recommendations.

Recovery after the procedure is minimal and does not require special actions.

Peelings

Peelings are cosmetic procedures for rejuvenating and cleaning the face by removing the upper layer of the epidermis. Depending on the method of exposure, it can be chemical or mechanical, hardware and others. However, chemical peeling is considered the most effective, which affects the skin located in deeper layers through the use of compositions based on acids and enzymes. Within the hardware type, special devices are used that touch the epidermis. It, in turn, is divided into subtypes. The peel is an excellent tool to fight wrinkles and folds, uneven complexion and acne. They are also often used to prepare the surface of the skin for other procedures.

Facial rejuvenation procedures after 35

The first manifestations of skin lesions become visible at the age of 35. At this age, it is important to ensure correct and proper facial skin care. Nutritional procedures that completely saturate the skin are very effective: mesotherapy, biorevitalization. You can also renew the epidermis. To rejuvenate the face after 35, you can use chemical peeling. Along with this, you can do Botox injections, which will help prevent the appearance of deep wrinkles.

Facial rejuvenation procedures after 40

During this period, skin changes become more visible. Therefore, care treatments and massages are no longer enough. Skin wrinkles and folds become more pronounced. Lifting procedures that will tighten the skin will help fight against them. Nourishing the dermis is necessary at any age, so it is worth continuing with mesotherapy or biorevitalization. To rejuvenate the face after 40, you can turn to plasma lifting or microcurrent therapy.

Facial rejuvenation procedures after 50

At this age, deep rejuvenation of the facial skin is required. Laser procedures that promote tissue restoration will help with this. Ptosis, bag-like circles under the eyes and nodules also become particularly noticeable. To replenish the volume and rejuvenate the face after 50, you can use fillers based on hyaluronic acid.
