From about 27-30 years of age, irreversible aging processes begin in the facial skin. Particularly vulnerable in this regard is the delicate and thin skin around the eyes, which shamelessly demonstrates age-related changes and the consequences of insufficient care. Modern cosmetology offers many opportunities to combat wrinkles, relax soft tissues and reduce skin elasticity. Some of these methods are available for home use, while others are intended to be used by the hands of an experienced technician.
Cosmetic procedures for facial skin rejuvenation
The choice of skin rejuvenation procedure should be determined by the patient's age. The use of surgical methods is hardly justified for young women and methods such as light massage and homemade masks will not have a pronounced effect on age-related changes after the age of fifty.
In addition, when deciding to deal with the upcoming age signs, you need to take into account the characteristics of your health. If methods such as anti-aging masks, ice cube massage and facial muscle gymnastics can be used at home, then in the case of injection and hardware methods, the beautician should carefully monitor the progress of the procedure.
All injectable methods to prolong youth should be performed by specialists with higher medical education. When choosing techniques for hardware rejuvenation, it is mandatory to be interested in the qualification of the employee and the technical condition of the equipment.
New items in the cosmetics industry deserve special attention in this regard. These include coral exfoliation, thermal massage and modern suture lifting technology. In order not to face unpleasant side effects after a rejuvenation session, you should choose only an experienced aesthetic cosmetologist who has performed at least a hundred procedures and is familiar with the various individual reactions of patients.
No matter how safe the hardware rejuvenation sessions are, before they can be performed, you need to pass tests and undergo basic physical examinations prescribed by a doctor.
Effective rejuvenation procedures for women over 30
After thirty years, all the consequences of a bad lifestyle and inadequate skin care become visible to others. Signs of aging skin at this age include a dull complexion, loss of skin firmness and the appearance of fine expressive lines.
Intensive care with nourishing and moisturizing masks
The face and eyes should be well nourished and moisturized to eliminate age-related symptoms. Even oily skin needs deep hydration after thirty years, and dry and problem skin without proper care can begin to age quickly. Dehydration is a major skin problem for women in their thirties.
The undoubted advantages of using moisturizing masks at home include the low cost of care components and ease of preparation of anti-aging compositions. In addition, the use of this method to rejuvenate the skin is completely safe and eliminates the risk of injury and complications.
Masks based on chicken or quail egg yolk, pressed yeast, gelatin and aloe (agave) pulp are useful for visibly moisturizing the skin. The addition of natural colored honey, nourishing cold pressed oils and fresh cream to the mask will increase the effectiveness of the procedure.
Fruit and forest masks made from grape pulp, banana, strawberry, persimmon or peach are extremely useful for tired, dehydrated skin.
I didn't really trust homemade masks until I saw my friend's result of applying them. She uses them regularly and advised me to take a course on such masks. After applying them, I did not recognize myself. I became a few years younger. The skin looks refreshed and rested. The good news is that the masks are very cheap and the effect is amazing. I will continue to do them.
Self-rejuvenating massage
Properly performed self-massage refers to intensive types of exposure and is able to eliminate the pronounced signs of aging of the facial skin. Massage improves microcirculation and normalizes lymphatic drainage, helping to smooth out the fine lines of expression that appear after thirty years.
Quiet pleasant music during self-massage of the face will allow you to relax and set a positive mood, which will increase the effectiveness of the procedure.
The classic anti-aging facial massage is performed using techniques such as stroking, rubbing and vibration. All these techniques should be applied in strict accordance with the location of the massage lines on the face, as the wrong effect can seriously damage your skin.
Contraindications to the self-massage procedure are:
- fungal diseases of the epidermis;
- common infectious diseases accompanied by fever;
- violation of the integrity of the skin.
You don't face facial massage every day (and I don't have enough time and I often leave, which is expensive), so I started learning how to do a rejuvenating massage on my own. The effect is noticeable quite quickly - the face immediately acquires a fresh color, the skin becomes more elastic, the nasolabial folds are less pronounced.
Injectable mesotherapy using organic acids
Mesotherapy is sometimes called "beauty injections" because this cosmetic procedure can significantly rejuvenate facial skin and give it a fresh and supple look.
The procedure involves subcutaneous injection at shallow depth of a mesotherapeutic cocktail consisting of microdoses of anti-aging drugs. For the skin after thirty years, beauticians recommend the use of organic acids - hyaluronic and polylactonic.
Undoubted advantages of injectable mesotherapy include:
- does not have a long rehabilitation period;
- targeted therapeutic effect on the problem area;
- high efficiency, comparable to the efficiency of the surgical intervention;
- several complications after the procedure.
Main contraindications for injectable mesotherapy:
- coagulation disorder;
- recent herpes;
- low pain threshold;
- pregnancy and lactation.
For a full course of rejuvenation you will need 6 to 10 procedures, twice a month. Then maintenance therapy is possible.
Regular courses of mesotherapy will help to delay the aging of the skin for a long time and will preserve the youth of the face and eyes.
The first result of the action of the drug I saw on myself immediately literally in an hour. The skin gleamed, became, I would say, taut. In the morning there was no trace of the injection, except for small bruises, which are easily covered up. And after two days my skin smoothed in the nasolabial folds. Felt shine and velvety, healthy complexion. The next day after the procedure I continued my usual lifestyle.
Get rid of wrinkles and signs of aging after 35
After 35 years, the main task of skin care is to maintain facial muscle tone and increase the elasticity of the epidermis. To improve the nutrition of the skin, you can still use nourishing homemade masks, and for intensive hydration mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid.
Cryomassage at home
Facial massage with ice cubes can relieve skin from age-related dryness, significantly tighten the tired epidermis and give the face a fresh, rested look. This massage is performed twice a day, morning and evening.
The procedure itself is extremely simple - the cleansed skin of the face, neck and décolleté is rubbed with ice cubes made of artesian water. In the same way you can use frozen decoctions and infusions of medicinal plants: mint, linden blossom, aloe pulp.
Care must be taken that the ice blocks do not have pieces or air bubbles. Otherwise, microtraumas of the skin are possible.
Cosmetologists refer to the contraindications for home cryomassage:
- rosacea;
- fungal skin diseases;
- the proximity of blood vessels to the surface of the skin.
This is the most enjoyable morning routine! Which helps to wake up and restore skin elasticity. With daily use, your skin is transformed. If you have very sensitive and thin skin, wrap the ice cube in a soft towel. So wipe your face.
Anti-Aging Gymnastics
One of the affordable and incredibly effective methods for maintaining a young face is special gymnastics or face building. Its action is based on improving blood circulation in the muscles of the face and epidermis, which normalizes oxygen metabolism and lymphatic drainage. Performing facial gymnastics does not require special skills, expensive cosmetics and complex tools. It is enough to find only ten or fifteen minutes a day.
It should be remembered that in order to achieve a pronounced effect of facial rejuvenation, it is necessary to perform a gymnastic complex every day. The face building course is 20-30 procedures, three to four courses per year will be needed.
Contraindications to using a set of exercises are:
- recent injections of botulinum toxin;
- tendency to sudden changes in pressure;
- inflammation of the facial nerves;
- severe colds.
The face is also made up of muscles and these muscles require effort and training. When the facial muscles are not fully and properly loaded, they gradually lose elasticity and weaken. Of course, the effect was not immediate. But the longer I practiced gymnastics, the better the results. After almost 2 years of regular exercise, the wrinkles on the forehead disappeared, the nasolabial folds were noticeably smoothed. The lips have become fuller and fuller. The vertical fold in the jaw has straightened. The face is taut, the skin looks taut, there is no double chin.
Microdermabrasion or mechanical peeling
Mechanical peeling or superficial microdermabrasion perfectly copes with the reduced skin tone of the face and the appearance of facial wrinkles. This procedure is performed in a beauty salon or clinic specializing in non-surgical methods of rejuvenation.
Superficial mechanical peeling refers to gentle rejuvenating procedures, as it eliminates the effect of the device on the deep subcutaneous layers. However, there are some contraindications to this method of prolonging youth.
These include the main ones:
- tendency to form scars and keloid scars;
- hyperpigmentation;
- hypersensitivity and low pain threshold.
Microdermabrasion demonstrates particularly noticeable results on sagging facial skin, which quickly loses elasticity.
Owners of oily skin type note that the face gradually becomes dull and velvety, over time the production of oily secretions normalizes.
For a pronounced rejuvenating effect, the beautician prescribes a course of five or seven procedures with a frequency of once every two months.
Nice procedure. Much depends on the specialist, on the power of the device. Skin tone is more even. I also noticed that there is less inflammation, more smoothness, the skin was pleasant to the touch, sometimes I did not want to moisturize at all after a shower, it seemed to breathe, the pores were narrowing.
Anti-aging skin care after 40
After forty years, the skin begins to lose moisture and fade faster than before. Hormonal changes in the body reduce the amount of collagen, which leads to loss of firmness and elasticity of the epidermis. As a result, expression and age wrinkles deepen significantly. Moisturizing, lifting and deep nourishment are what the skin needs after forty years.
Alginate masks in the beauty salon and at home
Plasticizing (alginate) masks based on algae not only effectively rejuvenate facial skin, but also stimulate regenerative processes in soft tissues and in the surface layer of the epidermis. This treatment provides intensive hydration of the skin at all levels, filling the deficit of moisture and nutrients.
Alginate masks can be made independently at home, which significantly reduces the cost of the procedure. The course consists of 15-20 sessions, held two or three times a week.
If the skin is additionally moisturized with saturated serum or light emulsion before applying the plasticizing mask, the effect of the procedure will increase several times.
With the help of alginate masks a few months ago I started modeling my face. There are still a lot of wrinkles, rather the contour is tightened, which, you know, is also important. In general, such procedures have a general anti-aging effect, I was convinced. The main thing is to use them properly and in combination with other cosmetic procedures the effect will only increase.
Chemical peeling with fruit acids
Medium chemical peels are considered to be an extremely effective procedure for prolonging the youth of the facial skin. At its core, fruit acid peeling is a minor, controlled burning of the surface layer of the epidermis, which aims to start regenerative processes and activate the production of its own collagen.
The following acids are used for peeling:
- milk;
- lemon;
- wine;
- apple;
- glycol.
Medium peeling based on AHA acids refers to gentle skin care procedures, but sometimes a slight reddening of the epidermis, a slight burning and itching sensation, and a slight swelling are possible after a session.
Among the contraindications for the peeling procedure are the main ones:
- inflammatory process in the body;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- intense complexion accompanied by flaking of the skin;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
Five or seven sessions are enough to achieve a pronounced rejuvenating effect. The beautician prescribes the frequency individually.
Cosmetologists recommend performing chemical peels using fruit acids only under the supervision of a specialist, as at home there is a risk of improper concentration of the working composition.
Fruit acids only affect dead skin cells, not healthy ones. As a result, the condition of the skin improves significantly. Within a few weeks, the pigmentation on my face disappeared, the formation of blackheads and blackheads decreased, wrinkles became almost invisible. I was pleased with the result. Procedure - peeling with fruit acids has a long-lasting rejuvenating effect, the skin tightens, its color improves, and the work of the sebaceous glands is normalized.
Ozone therapy
Ozone therapy refers to injection techniques to rejuvenate the skin. The essence of the procedure is that the dermatologist injects microdoses of ozone, which are related oxygen molecules, into the patient's dermis.
Oxygenation of the skin leads to its natural tightening, which is due to the increased synthesis of collagen and elastin. The lifting effect is usually enough for 6-8 months, during which the skin pleases its owner with a flawless appearance.
An experienced specialist injects the rejuvenating composition of the skin precisely, exclusively in those areas that require corrective intervention. In this way, non-surgical facial plastic surgery is performed.
The full course consists of 10-12 procedures that the dermatologist prescribes individually to the patient. Two or three courses can be held during the year, depending on the reaction of the epidermis.
Ozone is an extremely toxic gas, which is why a dermatologist of the highest category should conduct ozone therapy sessions. Ozone injections alone are not permitted.
After completing half of the course, I began to notice that the face changes before our eyes: the skin smoothes, evens out, rejuvenates, the complexion improves, the pores narrow, the oval of the face tightens and most importantlyscars, spots begin to disappear !!! By the way, everyone close to me noticed my facial changes. After the procedures, my skin "revived", maybe I can say that. The result is a clean face, with no visible scars, my little second chin is gone, my skin is fresh, breathable, beautiful without foundation.
Effective cosmetic procedures after 45 years
After 45 years, the epidermis becomes thin and dehydrated, and the folds of the face become deeper. Soft tissues sag more and more, expression lines become even more.
Compresses with healing oils and salon methods of rejuvenation will help to successfully combat the further development of age-related changes.
Anti-aging compresses with healing oils
Compresses based on natural oils with a rich composition of unsaturated acids and vitamins can slow down the aging process of the skin.
This treatment can be used at home, all you need is a container for mixing oils and a mask with a clean sheet. Among the effective anti-aging formulations for oil compresses are the following:
- 2 tablespoons burdock oil, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, 4 drops of pink ether damask;
- 3 tbsp sweet almond oil, 1 tsp carrot seeds; 5 drops of neroli ether;
- 2 tablespoons grape seed oil, 2 tablespoons jojoba oil, 1 teaspoon rosehip seed oil, 2 drops of dill ether;
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon castor oil, 2 drops of sandalwood ether;
- 3 tbsp sea buckthorn seed oil, 1 tsp avocado oil, 2 drops of jasmine and incense ester.
Photorejuvenation
The principle of photorejuvenation is to remove the stratum corneum from the surface of the epidermis. This effect is achieved with the help of broadband pulsed radiation, from which ultraviolet rays are excluded.
Phototherapy, unfortunately, is not able to cope with the deep drops of facial wrinkles in the nasolabial area and forehead, but is fully capable of significantly "tightening" the skin in other areas. The course of photorejuvenation will reduce the intensity of age signs, will reduce the sagging and porosity of aging skin.
The main contraindications for photorejuvenation include:
- diagnosed psoriasis, dermatitis of various etiologies;
- tan;
- hormonal diseases;
- dark skin (phototype V);
- retinal pathology;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- bleeding disorders;
- violation of the integrity of the skin.
I've been rejuvenating photos every year for 10 years. The pigmentation also disappeared. In addition, there is a lifting of the skin, fine wrinkles are smoothed, the skin shines, the pores are narrowed. This procedure is very good for preventing skin aging.
Botulinum toxin injections
The most effective way to get rid of deep facial wrinkles, cosmetologists consider subcutaneous injections of botulinum toxin. In general, the neurotoxin of botulism is a powerful poison that blocks the transmission of nerve impulses. As a result, the muscles relax, which leads to the smoothing of even deep lines of expression.
Botulinum toxin injections are suitable for use in any area of the face, but in some the effect is stronger.
For example, in the paraorbital area (the area around the eyes) and in the eyebrow area, the action of the neurotoxin provides the most stable anti-aging effect.
Contraindications to this method of rejuvenation include:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- tendency to myasthenic reactions;
- hernia of the eyelids;
- inflammatory processes;
- recent operation;
- infectious diseases;
- taking antibiotics;
- high degree of myopia;
- tendency to allergic reactions.
Botox lasts up to six months. The muscles remain relaxed all the time, ensuring a flawless and toned appearance.
Botox has a paralyzing effect, relaxes and smoothes facial muscles. The procedure is absolutely not traumatic; the injection mark is barely noticeable. As a result of regular use of Botox (every 6-7 months) I have not had a crow's foot for 7 years. The years go by and wrinkles do not form.
How to preserve the youth and beauty of the skin after 50 years
The fiftieth birthday, as a rule, coincides with women with a period of stable menopause. This means that the level of the female hormone estrogen in the body has dropped significantly. Therefore, the fibroblasts that support the dermal framework began to be produced in the deep layers of the skin in a much smaller volume, which leads to the activation of the aging process and the deepening of the age folds.
At this age, facial skin needs support, otherwise gravitational ptosis will lead to irreversible soft tissue prolapse. Such support can be successfully provided by contour correction with the help of fillers and thread lifting. Home care is also not canceled - home rejuvenation methods allow you to maintain your facial skin between procedures in the salon.
Contour correction with fillers
Contour correction involves the introduction of preparations based on sodium hyaluronate and collagen in the subcutaneous layers. This allows you to fill in lines of expression and age wrinkles, returning the face to a smooth and even relief.
Fillers for injection are used both natural and synthetic.
The number of sessions is determined by the cosmetologist individually in each case. The effect of rejuvenation achieved also lasts very differently: in some patients it lasts more than two years, while in others the fillers dissolve in six months.
Beauticians say contouring is the only way to remove deep nasolabial folds. No other drug has such a pronounced effect.
Facial contouring is for life, if you've done it once, then you don't want to be the same. I have been doing this procedure regularly for 5 years now. And I will not stop. Only she saves me from visiting a plastic surgeon. Fear not, there is nothing wrong. Decide for yourself.
Lift the thread
The method of rejuvenation with special threads is both extremely effective and long-lasting. It is suitable for those patients who cannot afford to visit a cosmetologist often. The effect of lifting the thread lasts from three to five years.
Threads made of materials such as:
are used for reinforcement- precious metals (gold and platinum);
- teflon;
- medical polypropylene;
- liquid gel sodium hyaluronate and zinc oxide.
Almost all fibers are able to dissolve and disappear without a trace, cosmetologists call them biodegradable. The only exceptions are threads made of precious metals and Teflon, which absorb for a very long time.
Contraindications for lifting with thread reinforcement are:
- diseases associated with impaired circulation and blood clotting;
- tendency to allergic reactions accompanied by dermatitis of different genesis;
- pregnancy and lactation.
Particularly pronounced result is demonstrated by suturing in patients with severe gravitational ptosis of the lower part of the face and deep failures of the nasolabial folds.
Thread lifting has been used successfully for fifteen years as a technique for rejuvenating mature skin, which serves as a good practical basis for arguing that lifting a face with sutures is safe and extremely effective.
The result was immediately visible. The skin tightened, as if after a surgical lift. The contour of his face became clear, the wrinkles smoothed out. And the face is really rejuvenated. It was also promised that the anti-aging effect should increase. Overall, the result of the procedure exceeded all my expectations! Minus a few years for sure!
