With age, facial skin becomes unattractive, loses its elasticity and freshness, this also happens due to a violation of the hormonal background of the body or due to external damage to the surface. The way out of the situation can be facelifting - a procedure that involves correcting acquired defects in an operative or superficial way.
Facial lifting helps to restore the self-esteem of those women who are worried about age-related or other skin changes.
What is a facelift?
The tightening provides complete regulation of the upper layers of the skin, thanks to which the treated areas are rejuvenated and refreshed. Depending on how the procedure is performed, the tightening can be performed surgically or non-surgically.
Surgical intervention is necessary in the presence of serious problems, it varies in degree of complexity.
- Conventional cervicofacial lifting consists of pulling on the upper part of the skin without altering or affecting the internal tissues. This option is suitable for removing fine wrinkles and correcting small skin imperfections;
- Deep lifting (SMAS lifting) - is a complete operation in which several incisions are made, followed by removal of excess tissue;
- Endoscopic surgery is performed using modern technologies. In this case, the compression of the tissue is performed from the inside, using a miniature video camera built under the skin on the side of the scalp. This method avoids large incisions, which shortens the recovery time after the procedure.
Non-surgical facelift techniques for skin rejuvenation have become more common in recent years because they are virtually painless, relatively affordable and have no special contraindications. In the process of non-surgical skin tightening are used:
- serums - convenient for home use, as they are equipped with a fixing dispenser (to save money), differ in speed of action and have virtually no contraindications, except in cases of individual intolerance to the components;
- deep penetrating masks - can be prepared from natural ingredients or include synthetic materials;
- lifting creams - in most cases used at night, as they exclude the simultaneous use of other cosmetics.
Non-surgical skin tightening products are commercially available, so there will be no difficulty in purchasing them. Everyone has the opportunity to use such drugs at home.
Homemade formulations of natural ingredients will help you noticeably tighten and refresh your skin without visiting a beauty salon.
