Facial rejuvenation procedures

Anti-aging procedures are modern cosmetic methods whose action is aimed at correcting changes in the skin caused by age. They mostly have a hardware or injection focus. The choice of a certain type is based on the individual characteristics of the patient. Age and physiological characteristics, existing indications, contraindications, as well as the state 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 start thinking about their first visit to a cosmetologist when the first wrinkles, jowls and skin folds appear. Other signs that indicate the need to visit a specialist are:

• tendency to early appearance of wrinkles on the face;
• pale skin color;
• uneven complexion, regardless of rest and rhythm of life;
• permanent dry skin, accompanied by peeling and irritation;
• baggy circles under the eyes;
• facial swelling.

Doctors recommend not to wait for the first negative changes on the face, but to constantly maintain skin tone. Then you can achieve facial rejuvenation even after the age of 60 and avoid serious problems in old 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 stimulate the natural renewal of the epidermis, during which the reproduction of collagen and elastin occurs.
• Support. It improves the structural bonds of the skin, slowing down the formation of wrinkles and folds.
• Fix it. Fill in lost tissue volume or perform skin tightening.

Laser fractional rejuvenation

It is a deep treatment of the dermal layer by exposure to high temperatures. The procedure involves using 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, which are the "building materials" of our epidermis, are synthesized. The effect is expressed in a noticeable tightening of the facial contour, smoothing of wrinkles and lifting of 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 air. Already after the first session, positive changes are noticeable that are long-term.

Laser Fractional Rejuvenation helps with:

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

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

• Multiple impact. Laser exposure allows you to overcome several skin problems at the same time. For example, smooth wrinkles, tighten pores and get rid of pigmentation.
• Versatility. The procedure is performed on all types of skin, of different thickness and degree of sensitivity.
• Delicacy. The possibility of working with a laser on areas with a thin dermal layer: neckline, eyelids, neck.
• Lack of rehabilitation. Applying make-up is allowed the day after the procedure.
• Lack of invasiveness. Laser rejuvenation is a gentle method of combating 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 contraindications:

• epilepsy;
• period of gestation 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 the start of each procedure, a consultation is conducted, during which an assessment of the patient's skin condition, the presence of contraindications, as well as explanations about the effect and available methods of pain relief are carried out. Then:

• the skin is prepared for laser exposure by cleaning, after which an analgesic cream is applied;
• It is performed over 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;
• soothing products are applied to the dermis.

In order to achieve the desired result, a course of several procedures is usually required, between which there should be a gap of six months.

Often, the laser leaves minor swelling and redness in the affected area, and also causes dryness and flaking, which disappear on their own after 2-4 days. In order to speed up healing, it is recommended to apply cosmetics with panthenol to the skin and use sun protection. For hydration, 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 causes the appearance of hypertonus, which leads to the formation of wrinkles, skin folds and asymmetry. Botulinum toxin has a relaxing effect on spasmed muscles, resulting in a natural smoothing of the dermal layer.

Botulinum therapy is indicated for:

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

It is important to consider contraindications:

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

The rejuvenation 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, with an ultra-thin syringe needle, botulinum toxin is injected into the dermis to a depth of 2-3 mm. The duration of one session lasts about half an hour on average. The next one 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 that you spend the first 4 hours after the injection in an upright position. Treated areas should not be massaged, avoid visits to the bathroom, solarium, sauna, sunbathing and muscle tension for 5 days.

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 minor wrinkles and other negative changes on the skin. It shows particular effectiveness when:

• deep creases and folds;
• decreased skin tone, loss of elasticity;
• uneven pale complexion;
• bags and blue circles under the eyes;
• extra chin, jaws, 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 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 therapy and at its end;
• immediate effect;
• minimal risk of complications.

Hyaluronic acid does not cause allergic reactions and is completely compatible with tissues. The drug is applied under the skin according to a special scheme, which leads to the creation 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 introduction of the composition of the gel structure.
• Even distribution of the drug.
• The formation of a biological "frame" from threads.

At the end of the procedure, small traces of injections are visible, which disappear by themselves after a short time.

It is important to consider contraindications:

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

In order to enhance the effect, it is recommended to carry out bioreinforcement in courses throughout the year. The result lasts until the drug is completely dissolved.

Microcurrent therapy

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

• double chin elimination;
• elimination of ptosis;
• smoothing wrinkles and folds.

Under the influence of current discharges, muscle contraction occurs, which results in the active functioning of the circulatory and lymphatic systems, which stimulate metabolic processes in the 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 manifests itself in the freshness and firmness of the skin.

Microcurrent therapy is carried out 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 a lot of plain, non-carbonated water, which will help cleanse the body of toxins and waste.
• Cleaning. To enhance the rejuvenating effect of microcurrent, you can use enzyme peeling or microdermabrasion. However, it is quite enough to remove the make-up and wash off the sebum.
• Influence. Electrolytes, which are conductive components for electrical impulses, are applied to the treated area. Problem areas are treated with special electrodes.

Average session time is 40 minutes. The procedure is completely painless, in rare cases there may be a slight burning sensation. At the end of the therapy, there is no need to use auxiliary means.

Among the advantages of microcurrent therapy, it is worth noting the following:

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

For a permanent result, one course of 10-12 sessions of microcurrent therapy is recommended. The first positive changes are noticeable after 3-4 sessions.

Mesotherapy

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

RF face lifting

Another name is radiolifting. It is a unique procedure for skin rejuvenation, which is a worthy alternative to plastic surgery. The firmness of the skin is ensured by collagen fibers that stretch with age and lead to relaxation. Radiolifting uses bipolar radio waves that cause fiber contraction. A positive effect is already noticeable after the first session.

The advantages of RF lifting are:

• the absence of pain and the need to use anesthetics, which is caused by treating only the surface layers of the skin;
• minimal risk of infection, because the procedure is non-invasive;
• lack of special training and long-term recovery;
• current score;

• Procedure. The skin is first thoroughly cleaned, then the gel is applied, after which the problem areas are massaged with hardware attachments in the form of a manipulator.
• Rehabilitation. For a few days after the procedure, you must refrain from going to baths, saunas and exposure to UV rays.

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

Contour plastic

Contour plastic surgery in clinics is performed in accordance with the following stages:

• consultation with a specialist, followed by the collection of data about the patient and his skin condition, followed by the selection of the drug and dose;
• highlighting the filler injection area;
• application of anesthetic cream. If the drug contains an analgesic component, this step is skipped;
• injecting filler into the selected area;
• skin cleansing;
• care recommendations.

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

Peelings

Peels 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 using compositions based on acids and enzymes. Within the hardware type, special equipment is used that affects the epidermis. It, in turn, is divided into subtypes. Peelings are an excellent tool for fighting wrinkles and folds, uneven complexion and acne. They are 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 proper and proper facial skin care. Nutrient procedures that fully saturate the skin are highly effective: mesotherapy, biorevitalization. You can also renew the epidermis. To rejuvenate your face after 35 years, you can use chemical peeling. In addition, you can give botox injections, which will prevent the appearance of deep wrinkles.

Facial rejuvenation procedures after 40

During this period, skin changes become more obvious. Therefore, care and massage treatments are no longer enough. Wrinkles and folds of the skin become more and more pronounced. Lifting procedures that will tighten the skin will help in the 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 years, you can resort to plasma lifting or microcurrent therapy.

Facial rejuvenation procedures after 50

At this age, deep rejuvenation of the facial skin is necessary. Laser procedures that stimulate tissue renewal will help in this. Ptosis, baggy circles under the eyes and jaw are especially noticeable. To restore volume and rejuvenate the face after 50 years, you can use fillers based on hyaluronic acid.
