At around 27-30 years of age, irreversible aging processes begin on the skin of the face. Particularly vulnerable in this respect is the delicate, thin skin around the eyes, which unashamedly highlights the age-related changes and the consequences of insufficient care. Modern cosmetology offers many options to combat wrinkles, sagging soft tissues and reduced skin elasticity. Some of these methods are available for home use, while others must be used by the hands of an experienced technician.
Cosmetic procedures for rejuvenating facial skin
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 massages 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 signs of impending age, you must take into account the characteristics of your health. If methods such as anti-aging masks, massage with ice cubes and gymnastics for facial muscles can be used at home, in the case of injection methods and hardware, the cosmetologist must carefully monitor the progress of the procedure.
All juvenile extension injection methods must be performed by specialists with a higher medical education. When choosing the hardware rejuvenation techniques, it is essential to be interested in the qualification of the employee and the technical condition of the equipment.
New items in the cosmetology industry deserve special attention in this regard. This includes coral exfoliation, thermage and modern wire lifting technologies. In order not to face the 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 secure the hardware rejuvenation sessions are, before they can be carried out, it is necessary to pass the tests and basic body exams 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 skin aging at this age include an opaque complexion, loss of skin firmness and the appearance of fine expression lines.
Intensive care with nourishing and moisturizing masks
To eliminate age-related signs, the skin on your face and eye area must be well nourished and hydrated. Even oily skin needs deep hydration after thirty years, and dry, troubled skin without proper care can begin to age quickly. Dehydration is a major skin problem for women in their thirties.
The indisputable advantages of using moisturizing masks at home include the low cost of care components and the simplicity of making anti-aging compositions. In addition, the use of this skin rejuvenation method is completely safe and eliminates the risk of injuries and complications.
Masks based on yolk of chicken or quail eggs, pressed yeast, gelatin and aloe pulp (agave) are useful to visibly moisturize the skin. The addition of natural flower honey, cold-pressed nutritious oils and fresh cream to the mask will increase the effectiveness of the procedure.
Fruit and berry masks made with grape, banana, strawberry, persimmon or peach pulp are extremely beneficial for tired and dehydrated skin.
I didn't really trust homemade masks until I saw the result of my friend applying them. She uses them regularly and advised me to take a course in these masks. After applying them, I didn't recognize myself. I was a few years younger. The skin appears refreshed and rested. The good news is that the masks are very cheap and the effect is incredible. I will continue to do them.
Rejuvenating massage
Self-massage performed correctly refers to intensive types of exposure and is capable of eliminating pronounced signs of skin aging. Massage improves microcirculation and normalizes lymph flow, helping to smooth out fine facial wrinkles that appear after thirty years.
Quiet and pleasant music during the self-massage of the face will allow you to relax and tune in to a positive mood, which will increase the effectiveness of the procedure.
The classic anti-aging facial massage is performed using techniques such as caresses, friction and vibration. All of these techniques must be applied strictly according to the location of the massage lines on the face, as the incorrect effect can seriously damage the skin.
The contraindications for the self-massage procedure are:
- fungal diseases of the epidermis;
- general infectious diseases, accompanied by fever;
- violation of the integrity of the skin.
Every day you don't get a facial massage (and I don't have enough time, I go out often, and it's expensive), so I started learning how to do a rejuvenating massage on my own. The effect is noticeable quickly - the face immediately acquires a new color, the skin becomes more elastic, the nasolabial folds are less pronounced.
Injection mesotherapy using organic acids
Mesotherapy is sometimes called "beauty injections", as this cosmetic procedure can significantly rejuvenate the skin of the face and give it a fresh and elastic appearance.
The procedure is a subcutaneous injection in a shallow depth of a mesotherapeutic cocktail consisting of microdoses of anti-aging drugs. For skin after thirty years, cosmetologists recommend the use of organic acids - hyaluronic and polylactonic.
The indisputable advantages of injection mesotherapy include:
- without a long period of rehabilitation;
- targeted therapeutic effect in the problem area;
- high efficiency, comparable to the efficiency of surgical intervention;
- some complications after the procedure.
Main contraindications for injection mesotherapy:
blood clotting disorder- ;
- recent herpes;
- low pain threshold;
- pregnancy and lactation.
For a complete rejuvenation course, you will need 6 to 10 procedures, twice a month. Supportive therapy is then possible.
Regular mesotherapy courses will help to delay aging of the skin and keep the face and eye area young.
The first result of the drug's action I saw in myself immediately, literally, in an hour. The skin shone, it became, I would say, tense. In the morning, there was no trace of the injection, except for the small bruises, which were easily covered. And after two days my skin smoothed over the nasolabial areas. Sensation of brightness, velvety and healthy complexion. The next day after the procedure, I continued my normal way of life.
Get rid of wrinkles and signs of aging after 35
After 35 years of age, the main task in skin care is to maintain the tone of the facial muscles and increase the elasticity of the epidermis. To improve skin nutrition, you can also use homemade nutritional masks and, for intensive hydration, mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid.
Cryotherapy at home
Facial massage with ice cubes can relieve aging-related skin dryness, significantly tighten tired skin and give the face a fresh, rested appearance. This massage is performed twice a day, in the morning and at night.
The procedure itself is extremely simple - the clean skin of the face, neck and décolleté is rubbed with ice cubes made of artesian water. Likewise, you can use frozen decoctions and infusions of medicinal plants: mint, linden blossom, aloe pulp.
Care should be taken to ensure that the ice blocks are free of chunks or air bubbles. Otherwise, microtrauma of the skin is possible.
Cosmetologists refer to contraindications for home cryotherapy:
- rosacea;
- fungal skin diseases;
- the proximity of blood vessels to the surface of the skin.
This is the most pleasant morning routine! This helps to awaken and restore elasticity to the skin. With daily use, your skin changes. If you have very sensitive and thin skin, wrap the ice cube in a soft cloth. And then wipe your face.
Anti-aging facial gymnastics
One of the affordable and incredibly effective methods of preserving a youthful 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 instrumentation. Just 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 gym complex daily. The facial reconstruction course is 20 to 30 procedures; three to four courses will be required per year.
The contraindications for using a set of exercises are:
- recent injections of botulinum toxin;
- tendency to sudden pressure changes;
- inflammation of the facial nerves;
- severe colds.
The face is also made up of muscles, and these muscles require effort and training. When facial muscles are not fully and correctly loaded, they gradually lose their elasticity and weaken. Of course, the effect was not instantaneous. But the more I did gymnastics, the better the results. After almost 2 years of regular exercise, the wrinkles on the forehead disappeared, the nasolabial folds were visibly smoothed. The lips became fuller and fuller. The vertical fold of the jaw straightened. The stretched oval of the face, the skin seems stretched, there is no double chin.
Microdermabrasion or mechanical peeling
Mechanical peeling or superficial microdermabrasion copes perfectly with the reduction of facial skin tone and the appearance of mimetic wrinkles. This procedure is performed in a beauty salon or clinic specializing in non-surgical methods of rejuvenation.
Superficial mechanical peeling refers to mild rejuvenation procedures, as it excludes the effect of the device on the deep subcutaneous layers. Even so, there are some contraindications to this method of prolonging youth.
Among them are the main ones:
- tendency to form scars and keloid scars; hyperpigmentation
- ;
- increased sensitivity and low pain threshold.
Microdermabrasion shows especially noticeable results in the sagging skin of the face, which is rapidly losing elasticity.
Owners of oily skin notice that the face gradually becomes matte and velvety, over time, the production of sebaceous secretion normalizes.
For a pronounced rejuvenating effect, the esthetician prescribes a course of five or seven procedures with a frequency of once every two months.
Good procedure. Much depends on the specialist, the power of the device. The skin tone is more uniform. I also noticed that there was less inflammation, more softness, the skin was pleasant to the touch, sometimes I didn't want to moisturize after the shower, it seemed to be breathing, the pores were narrow.
Anti-aging skin care after 40 years
After forty years, the skin begins to lose moisture and fade faster than before. Hormonal changes in the body contribute to a decrease in the amount of collagen, which leads to loss of firmness and elasticity of the epidermis. As a result, age and expression wrinkles deepen significantly. Hydration, lifting and deep nutrition are what the skin needs after forty years.
Alginate masks in the beauty salon and at home
Algae-based plasticizing masks (alginate) not only effectively rejuvenate facial skin, but also stimulate regenerative processes in soft tissues and the superficial layer of the epidermis. This treatment provides intensive skin hydration at all levels, restoring hydration and nutritional deficiencies.
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, before applying the plasticizer mask, the skin is additionally moistened with saturated serum or light emulsion, the effect of the procedure will increase several times.
With the help of alginate masks, a few months ago I started to shape my face. Many wrinkles are still missing, on the contrary, the contour has become tighter, which, you see, is also important. In general, these procedures have a general anti-aging effect, I was convinced of that. The main thing is to use them correctly and in combination with other cosmetic procedures, the effect will only increase.
Chemical peel with fruit acids
The medium chemical peel is considered an extremely effective procedure to prolong the youth of facial skin. In essence, peeling with fruit acids is a small, controlled burning of the superficial layer of the epidermis, the purpose of which is to initiate regenerative processes and activate the production of its own collagen.
The following acids are used for peeling:
- milk;
- lemon; wine
- ;
- apple; glycolic
- .
Medium peeling based on AHA acids refers to mild skin care procedures, but sometimes after the session, a slight redness of the epidermis, a slight burning and itching sensation and a slight swelling are possible.
Among the contraindications to the peeling procedure are the main ones:
- inflammatory process in the body;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- intense tan, accompanied by skin peeling;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- diagnosed diabetes mellitus.
Five or seven sessions are sufficient to achieve a pronounced rejuvenating effect. The cosmetologist prescribes the frequency individually.
Cosmetologists recommend carrying out chemical peels with fruit acids exclusively under the supervision of a specialist, because at home there is a risk of incorrect concentration of the work composition.
Fruit acids affect only dead skin cells, without affecting healthy ones. As a result, the condition of the skin improves significantly. In a few weeks, the pigmentation on my face disappeared, the formation of blackheads and blackheads decreased, the wrinkles became almost invisible. I was satisfied with the result. Procedure - Peeling with fruit acids has a long-term rejuvenating effect, the skin is stretched, its color improves and the functioning of the sebaceous glands is normalized.
Ozonotherapy
Ozone therapy refers to injection techniques for skin rejuvenation. The essence of the procedure is that a dermatologist injects ozone microdoses, which are linked oxygen molecules, into the patient's dermis.
Oxygenation of the skin leads to its natural hardening, which occurs due to the improved synthesis of collagen and elastin. The lifting effect is usually sufficient for 6–8 months, during which the skin pleases its owner with an impeccable appearance.
An experienced specialist injects the skin's rejuvenating composition on time, exclusively in areas that require corrective intervention. Thus, non-surgical facial plastic surgery is performed.
The complete course consists of 10-12 procedures, which the dermatologist prescribes for the individual patient. Two or three courses can be taken during the year, depending on the reaction of the epidermis.
Ozone is an extremely toxic gas, so a dermatologist of the highest category should conduct ozone therapy sessions. Self-administration of ozone injections is not permitted.
After completing half the course, I began to notice that the face was changing before our eyes: the skin was smoothed, leveled, rejuvenated, the complexion improved, the pores narrowed, the oval of the face contracted andmost importantly, the scars, the spots started to disappear !!! By the way, my facial changes were noticed by everyone close to me. After the procedures, my skin "revived", maybe I can say that. The result is a clean face, with no visible scars, my second chin is gone, my skin is fresh, breathable, beautiful without any foundation.
Effective cosmetic procedures after 45 years
After 45 years, the epidermis becomes thin and dehydrated, and the folds of the face become deeper. The soft tissues fall more and more, the lines of expression become even more accentuated.
Compresses with healing oils and rejuvenation methods for beauty salons will help to successfully combat the development of age-related changes.
Anti-aging compresses with healing oils
Compresses based on natural oils with a composition rich in unsaturated acids and vitamins can slow the skin's aging process.
You can use this treatment at home, all you need is a container for mixing oils and a clean sheet mask. Among the effective anti-aging formulations for oil compresses are the following:
- 2 st. I. burdock oil, 1 tbsp. I. coconut oil, 4 drops of pink apricot ether;
- 3 tbsp. I. sweet almond oil, 1 tsp. carrot seed oils; 5 drops of neroli ether;
- 2 tbsp. I. grape seed oil, 2 tbsp. I. jojoba oil, 1 tsp. rosehip seed oil, 2 drops of fennel ether;
- 3 tbsp. I. olive oil, 1 tbsp. I. castor oil, 2 drops of sandalwood ether;
- 3 tbsp. I. sea buckthorn seed oil, 1 tsp. avocado oil, 2 drops of jasmine and frankincense esters.
Photorejuvenation
The principle of photorejuvenation is to remove the stratum corneum from the surface of the epidermis. This effect is achieved using broadband pulsed radiation, from which ultraviolet rays are excluded.
Phototherapy, unfortunately, is not able to deal with deep drops of mimic wrinkles in the nasolabial region and on the forehead, but it is able to significantly "tighten" the skin in other areas. The course of photorejuvenation will reduce the intensity of the signs of age, reduce the sagging and porosity of aged 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;
- hemorrhagic disorders;
- violation of the integrity of the skin.
I've been doing photographic rejuvenation every year for 10 years. Pigmentation has also disappeared. In addition, lifting of the skin is observed, fine wrinkles are smoothed, the skin is radiant, 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 imitative wrinkles, cosmetologists consider subcutaneous injections of botulinum toxin. In general, botulism's neurotoxin is a powerful poison that blocks the transmission of nerve impulses. As a result, the muscles relax, which leads to smoothing even deep expression lines.
Botulinum toxin injections are suitable for use on 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 area of the eyebrows, the neurotoxin action provides the most persistent anti-aging effect.
Contraindications for this rejuvenation method include:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- tendency to myasthenic reactions;
- hernia on the eyelids;
- inflammatory processes;
- recent surgery;
- infectious diseases;
- taking antibiotics;
- high degree of myopia;
- susceptibility to allergic reactions.
Botox lasts up to six months. Throughout, the muscles remain relaxed, ensuring a flawless and toned appearance.
Botox has a paralyzing effect, relaxing and softening facial muscles. The procedure is not absolutely traumatic, the injection mark is barely noticeable. As a result of regular use of Botox (every 6-7 months), I haven't had crow's feet for 7 years. Years pass 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 in women with the period of stable menopause. This means that the level of the female hormone estrogen in the body has dropped significantly. Consequently, the fibroblasts that support the dermal structure started 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 to the deepening of the aged folds.
At this age, the skin of the face needs support, otherwise, gravitational ptosis will cause irreversible soft tissue prolapse. This support can be successfully provided through contour correction using fillers and thread lifting. Home care has also not been canceled - home rejuvenation methods allow you to keep your facial skin between salon procedures.
Contour correction with fills
Contour correction involves the introduction of preparations based on sodium hyaluronate and collagen in the subcutaneous layers. This allows to fill expression lines and wrinkles of age, giving a smooth and uniform relief to the face.
Injectable fillers are used both natural and synthetic.
The number of sessions is determined by the cosmetologist individually in each case. The rejuvenating effect achieved also lasts very differently: in some patients it lasts more than two years, while in others the fillers dissolve in six months.
Cosmetologists say contouring is the only way to remove deep nasolabial folds. No other drug has such a pronounced effect.
The facial contour is for life, if you did it once, you don't want to be like before. I have been doing this procedure regularly for 5 years. And I will not stop. Only she saves me from visiting a plastic surgeon. Don't be afraid, there is nothing wrong. If you decide.
Line survey
The rejuvenation method with special threads is extremely effective and long lasting. It is suitable for those patients who cannot afford to visit a cosmetologist frequently. The lifting effect of the wire lasts from three to five years.
For reinforcement, threads made of materials such as:
- precious metals (gold and platinum); teflon; medical polypropylene;
- liquid gel of sodium hyaluronate and zinc oxide.
Almost all hairs are capable of dissolving and disappearing without leaving a trace, cosmetologists call them biodegradable. The only exceptions are wires made of precious metals and Teflon, which are absorbed over a long period of time.
The contraindications for lifting with wire reinforcement are:
- diseases associated with problems with blood circulation and clotting;
- tendency to allergic reactions, accompanied by dermatitis of various genesis;
- pregnancy and lactation.
A particularly pronounced result is demonstrated by lifting with sutures in patients with severe gravitational ptosis of the lower face and deep dives in the nasolabial folds.
For fifteen years, the line facelift has been used successfully as a technique to rejuvenate mature skin, which serves as a good practical basis for claiming that a facelift is safe and extremely effective.
The result was immediately visible. The skin stiffened like surgery. The outline of the face was clear, the wrinkles softened. And the face is really rejuvenated. In addition, it has been promised that the anti-aging effect should grow. In general, the result of the procedure exceeded all my expectations! A few years less, for sure!
