Facial rejuvenation procedures

Anti-aging procedures are modern cosmetic methods, the action of which is aimed at correcting skin changes caused by age. Most of the time they are focused on hardware or injection. 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 their versatility.

Indications for anti-aging procedures

Many women start thinking about their first appointment with a beautician as soon as the first wrinkles, jowls and skin folds appear. Other signs indicating the need to consult 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;
• large dark circles under the eyes;
• swelling of the face.

Doctors recommend not waiting for the first negative changes to form on the face, but constantly maintaining skin tone. You will then be able to achieve facial rejuvenation even after 60 years and avoid serious problems at a later age.

Cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation

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

• Nutrient. They fill the skin with useful substances aimed at improving its condition.
• Stimulating. They promote the natural restoration of the epidermis, during which the reproduction of collagen and elastin occurs.
• Solidarity. Improves the structural connections of the skin, slowing the formation of wrinkles and folds.
• Patch. Refill lost tissue volume or perform skin tightening.

Fractional laser rejuvenation

This is a deep treatment of the dermal layer by exposing it to high temperatures. The procedure involves using a laser to burn the surface cells of the skin, thereby affecting its deeper layers. Thus, the renewal process is activated, during which elastin and collagen are synthesized, which are the "building materials" of our epidermis. The effect results in a noticeable firming of the facial contour, smoothing of wrinkles and lifting of the corners of the eyes.

The procedure is carried out under the supervision of a cosmetologist who individually selects the strength, depth and temperature of the beam. After the first session, positive changes are noticeable, which last over time.

Fractional laser rejuvenation helps:

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

The main benefit of laser rejuvenation is the renewal of the dermal layer. During a procedure, approximately 20% of tissue is removed, while the process of forming new skin structures begins. Other benefits include:

• Multi-impact. Laser exposure helps overcome several skin problems at once. For example, smoothing wrinkles, tightening pores and removing pigmentation.
• Versatility. The procedure is performed on all skin types, varying the thickness and degree of sensitivity.
• Delicacy. The possibility of laser work on areas with a thin layer of skin: neckline, eyelids, neck.
• Lack of rehabilitation. Makeup is permitted the day after the procedure.
• Lack of invasiveness. Laser rejuvenation is a gentle method of combating age-related skin changes, since light local anesthesia is used and the duration of the procedure does not exceed 60 minutes, which depends on the area to be treated.

However, it is important to consider the contraindications:

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

Before the start of each procedure, a consultation is carried out, during which an assessment of the patient's skin, the presence of contraindications is carried out, as well as explanations of the effect and available methods of relieving pain. After that:

• the skin is prepared for laser exposure by cleaning followed by the application of an analgesic cream;
• It is carried out on the surface of the skin using a nozzle inside which there is a laser. Depending on the severity, the skin area may be treated several times;
• products with a calming effect are applied to the dermis.

In order to achieve the desired result, several procedures are usually required, between which there should be an interval of six months.

Often, the laser leaves slight swelling and redness in the affected area, and also causes dryness and peeling, which disappears on its own after 2-4 days. To speed up healing, it is recommended to apply cosmetic products with panthenol to the skin and use sun protection. To moisturize, use formulations based on hyaluronic acid.

Botulinum therapy

This is an effective procedure for facial rejuvenation, the essence of which is the use of injectable preparations based on botulinum toxin type "A". Tension of the facial muscles causes the appearance of hypertonia, which leads to the formation of wrinkles, skin folds and asymmetry. Botulinum toxin has a relaxing effect on spasmed muscles, leading to natural smoothing of the dermal layer.

Botulinum treatment is indicated for:

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

It is important to take into account the contraindications:

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

The rejuvenation process takes place in the supine position and begins with the treatment of facial skin with antiseptic preparations. In case of increased skin sensitivity, local anesthesia is administered. After that, using an ultra-fine syringe needle, botulinum toxin is injected into the dermis to a depth of 2-3 mm. The duration of a session lasts on average about half an hour. The next one is carried out after 4 to 6 months.

After the injections, small bumps called papules appear on the skin and disappear on their own within 24 hours. It is recommended to spend the first 4 hours after injections in an upright position. The treated areas should not be massaged; for 5 days, avoid visits to public baths, solarium, sauna, sunbathing and muscle tension.

Bioreinforcement

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

The procedure is indicated for minor wrinkles and other negative skin changes. Shows itself particularly effective when:

• deep creases and creases;
• decrease in complexion, loss of elasticity;
• uneven pale complexion;
• bag-like, blue circles under the eyes;
• Extra chin, jowls, ptosis.

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

The main advantage of bioreinforcement is its almost non-traumatic nature with an automatic lack of rehabilitation. Other benefits of the procedure include:

• compatibility of the formulations used, which eliminates the possibility of rejection by the body;
• comfort and absence of pain during and at the end of treatment;
• instant 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 cleansing of the superficial layer of the skin.
• Application of anesthetic gel.
• Introduction by injection of a composition with a gelatinous structure.
• Uniform drug distribution.
• Formation of a biological "frame" from threads.

At the end of the procedure, small injection marks are visible, which disappear on their own after a short time.

It is important to consider the contraindications:

• gestation and lactation period;
• autoimmune pathologies in the acute phase;
• blood clotting disorders;
• acute form of viral and infectious diseases;
• treatment available for certain categories of drugs.

To enhance the effect, it is recommended to carry out ongoing bioreinforcement throughout the year. The result lasts until the medicine is completely dissolved.

Microcurrent therapy

This is a rejuvenation procedure under the influence of microcurrent pulses, leading to tightening of the facial contour, as well as other positive changes:

• elimination of double chin;
• get rid of ptosis;
• smooth wrinkles and creases.

Under the influence of current discharges, muscle contraction occurs, leading to 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. In turn, cellular regeneration is the key to effective rejuvenation, which is manifested by freshness and firmness of the skin.

Microcurrent therapy is carried out in several stages:

• Preparation. Requires compliance with the drinking regime throughout the course. On the day of the procedure, it is especially important to drink plenty of plain water, which will help cleanse the body of toxins and waste.
• Cleaning. To enhance the rejuvenating effect of microcurrents, you can use enzymatic peeling or microdermabrasion. However, this is more than enough to remove makeup and eliminate sebum.
• Impact. Electrolytes, which are components that conduct electrical impulses, are applied to the treated area. Problem areas are treated using special electrodes.

The average duration of a session is 40 minutes. The procedure is completely painless; In rare cases, slight tingling may occur. At the end of treatment, there is no need to use auxiliary agents.

Among the advantages of microcurrent therapy, the following should be noted:

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

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

Peelings

Peels are cosmetic procedures that rejuvenate and cleanse the face by removing the upper layer of the epidermis. Depending on the method of exposure, it can be chemical or mechanical, material and other. However, the most effective is chemical peeling, which affects the skin located in deeper layers through the use of compositions based on acids and enzymes. In hardware type, special equipment is used to affect the epidermis. It is in turn divided into subtypes. Peels are a great way to combat wrinkles and folds, uneven skin tone and acne. They are also often used to prepare the skin surface for other procedures.

Facial rejuvenation procedures after 35 years

The first manifestations of skin lesions become noticeable around the age of 35. At this age, it is important to ensure correct and proper care of facial skin. Nutritious procedures that completely saturate the skin are very effective: mesotherapy, bio-revitalization. You can also renew the epidermis.

Facelift procedures that will tighten the skin will help fight against them. Nutrition of the dermis is necessary at any age, so it is worth continuing mesotherapy or biorevitalization. To rejuvenate the face after 40, you can resort to plasma lifting or microcurrent therapy.

Facial rejuvenation procedures after 50
