Modern middle-aged and older men and women look much younger than their peers decades ago. The reason is not only the improvement in living conditions, the absence of strenuous work, but also the wide possibilities of cosmetology, the presence of a huge selection of effective and safe methods of skin rejuvenation.
In order to significantly reduce the signs of skin aging and to slow down the aging process, the surgeon does not have to reach under the scalpel. Depending on the client's specific problems and age, the beauty salon specialists select a variety of anti-aging programs that include hardware, injections, and aesthetic procedures. Let's dwell on the most popular salon methods of rejuvenation.
When should non-surgical rejuvenation methods be used?
The skin on the face as well as in the neck and décolleté area requires special attention and professional care with:
- dull, greyish complexion;
- age pigmentation;
- sagging, decreased skin elasticity;
- facial and static wrinkles;
- Omission of the corners of the eyelids, eyebrows, lips (gravity ptosis);
- love handles in the cheek area;
- double chin;
- paint pouches and tear-nasal grooves;
- dark circles under the eyes.
The most effective anti-aging methods or a complex of anti-aging procedures will help you choose a cosmetologist. The specialist prescribes both individual anti-aging treatments and rejuvenation sessions.
Rejuvenating beauty injections
Intradermal and subcutaneous injections are minimally invasive methods of rejuvenation that achieve a pronounced and long-lasting effect. In particular, popular types of anti-aging injection procedures include:
- Biorevitalization and mesotherapy- Injections of hyaluronic acid and meso-cocktails that can improve the condition of the skin of the face and slow down the aging process in the tissues of the dermis. The method is also in demand with young girls and men;
- botulinum therapyfor rejuvenation, smoothing of mimic wrinkles by immobilizing the facial muscles by intradermal injection of botulinum toxin;
- filler injection- intradermal fillers based on hyaluronic or polylactic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite. The most common in cosmetics are hyaluron fillers, which are injected at different depths. Injectable anti-aging biogels are used to fill in superficial, medium and deep wrinkles, correct facial contours and replenish volumes lost with age. For injectable rejuvenation, biodegradable fillers are introduced that reduce signs of skin aging, first creating volume through the filler and then maintaining a rejuvenating effect by starting the natural process of collagen and elastin production;
- lipolytic injections- Splitting of fat cells in the cheeks, cheekbones, chin.
With clear signs of aging, anti-agingthread lift– Bio-reinforcement with absorbable threads of the lower third of the face. Another popular type of injectable rejuvenation methods isplasma lifting(Platelet Rich Plasma), the introduction of platelet-enriched plasma from one's own blood into the layers of the skin.
Facial rejuvenation procedures
Modern hardware cosmetics make it possible not only to get rid of the first signs of aging, but also to rejuvenate the skin for ten years. Depending on the specific problem and the degree of manifestation of skin aging, the beautician can recommend the following anti-aging procedures:
- Photo and laser rejuvenation, in which the anti-aging effect is achieved by heating the dermis layer with light rays and activating natural regeneration processes in the skin. Photorejuvenation, recommended for women and men aged 25-45, has a rather mild rejuvenating effect and aims to correct certain aesthetic imperfections: wrinkles, age spots, post-acne. Laser surface treatment (fractional lifting) is more aggressive and is recommended for the 40+ category in case of severe signs of aging;
- Biorevitalization without injection or mesotherapy. To perform anti-aging manipulations, hyaluronic acid biorevitalizers and mesotherapeutic cocktails are used. Penetration into the skin of useful components occurs through laser exposure;
- SMAS lifting. The revolutionary anti-aging technology deserves special attention. The essence of the non-invasive SMAS lifting procedure is the targeted impact of ultrasound on the muscular-aponeurotic system located under the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous adipose tissue. The process of rejuvenation, tissue renewal takes place in the deep layers, thanks to which the oval of the face is tightened, sagging is eliminated, the second chin is removed, the corners of the eyes, lips and eyebrows are lifted. The rejuvenation procedure is one-off and is performed once a year.
- HF lift- a rejuvenating technique based on the action of high-frequency currents on the dermis and hypodermis. The effect of skin rejuvenation is created by heating the tissue and stimulating the production of its own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid;
- cryolift- Cold skin rejuvenation. In this case, treatment of the skin of the face with a special probe tip cooled to -15 ° C acts as a stimulator of active regeneration processes and slows down the aging process.
Hardware methods of rejuvenation, which cosmetologists include in complex anti-aging programs, also include basic procedures -Ultrasonic cleaning and laser carbon peeling.
Aesthetic cosmetics for facial rejuvenation
In addition to hardware and injection methods, cosmetology also uses simpler, but no less effective procedures for rejuvenating the skin of the face. These include in particular:
- chemical peels;
- Skin care programs for rejuvenation with a range of professional cosmetics depending on skin type;
- massages
Acid-based scrubs- Very popular anti-aging procedures, which are especially effective in the first signs of aging of the skin of the face. The method works by exfoliating the top horny layer of the skin and injuring the living tissue of the epidermis. The deeper skin layers are not affected. Skin microburn causes an increase in the growth of collagen and elastin fibers and an acceleration of the process of tissue renewal. To correct age-related changes, median peels are used. Deep rejuvenating peels involve the use of a highly toxic agent and are performed only in specialized clinics and only once in a lifetime.
For lifting and facial rejuvenation in beauty salons, varioustypes of massages:
- manual classic;
- korugi;
- myofascial;
- sculptural;
- buccal;
- Spanish chiromassage.
Rejuvenating facial massages differ in technique. In general, their essence lies in the normalization of metabolic processes, eliminating puffiness and stimulating cell regeneration.
Complex facial skin rejuvenation procedures using cosmetic products include cleansing, peeling, applying anti-aging liquids and serums.
Selection of non-surgical anti-aging procedures by type of aging
Cosmetologists distinguish 4 types of facial skin aging, according to which they select care and rejuvenation correction procedures.
- Finely wrinkled type of aging. In this type, the face is covered with a network of wrinkles, age spots, the contours of the face do not change. To combat age-related changes, chemical peels and mesotherapy procedures are prescribed. Photorejuvenation and botulinum toxin injections are very effective.
- gravitational type of aging. A characteristic feature is the deformation of the oval of the face (the presence of a second chin, cheeks). There are also nasolabial folds, omitting the eyelids. The most effective methods of rejuvenation are massage, radio wave lifting, SMAS lifting, lipolytic injections.
- Tired way of aging. In people with this type, age-related changes are expressed in an unhealthy complexion, the formation of bags under the eyes and lacrimal creases, slight ptosis of the eyebrows, eyelids and corners of the lips. Fillers, peelings, hardware lifting techniques are used as effective means of rejuvenation.
- muscle type of aging. Signs of skin aging in this case are "crow's feet" around the eyes, hyperpigmentation, fine wrinkles around the mouth, pronounced sagging tissue and there are no deformations of the oval of the face. In muscular aging, peelings, botulinum toxin and phototherapy are recommended for skin rejuvenation.
The type of aging is not the only, albeit important, criterion when choosing methods of rejuvenation. Anti-aging care is necessary for the skin after 30 years, the most effective anti-aging procedures or their complex will help you choose a cosmetologist.
