Modern women and men of middle and old age look much younger than their peers decades ago. The reason is not only the improvement of living conditions, the absence of exhausting work, but also the wide possibilities of cosmetology, the presence of a large selection of effective and safe methods of skin rejuvenation.
To significantly reduce the signs of skin aging and slow down the aging process, it is not at all necessary to go under the surgeon's scalpel. Depending on the specific problems and age of the client, beauty salon specialists select a variety of anti-aging programs involving hardware, injections and aesthetic procedures. Let us dwell on the most popular salon methods of rejuvenation.
When to use non-surgical rejuvenation methods
The skin of the face, as well as the neck and décolleté area requires special attention and professional care in case of:
- dull, grayish skin color;
- age pigmentation;
- sagging skin, decreased skin elasticity;
- mimic and static wrinkles;
- omission of the corners of the eyelids, eyebrows, lips (gravitational ptosis);
- fat compresses in the cheek area;
- double chin;
- paint bags and nasolacrimal furrows;
- dark circles under the eyes.
The most effective anti-aging methods or a complex of anti-aging procedures will help you choose a beautician. The specialist prescribes both individual anti-aging procedures and courses of rejuvenation sessions.
Rejuvenating beauty injections
Intradermal and subcutaneous injections are minimally invasive methods of rejuvenation that provide a pronounced and long-lasting effect. Popular types of antiaging injection procedures, in particular, include:
- biorevitalization and mesotherapy- injections of hyaluronic acid and meso-cocktails, which 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 among girls and men;
- botulinum therapyaimed at rejuvenation, smoothing mimic wrinkles due to immobilization of facial muscles by intradermal injection of botulinum toxin;
- filler injection- intradermal fillers based on hyaluronic or polylactic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite. The most common in cosmetology are hyaluronic fillers, which are injected to different depths. Injectable anti-aging biogels are used to fill superficial, medium and deep wrinkles, correct facial contours and replenish volumes lost with age. For injectable rejuvenation, reducing the signs of aging, biodegradable fillers are introduced, which first create volume thanks to the filler, and then maintain a rejuvenating effect due to the initiation of the natural process of collagen and elastin production;
- lipolytic injections- splitting of fat cells in the cheeks, cheekbones, chin.
With significant signs of aging, anti-agingthreadlifting– bioreinforcement with absorbable threads of the lower third of the face. Another popular type of injectable rejuvenation methods isplasmolifting(Platelet Rich Plasma), the introduction into the layers of the skin of a person's blood plasma, enriched with platelets.
Facial rejuvenation procedures
Modern hardware cosmetology allows 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 depth of manifestation of skin aging, the cosmetologist may recommend the following anti-aging procedures:
- photo and laser rejuvenation, in which the anti-aging effect is achieved by heating the dermal layer with light rays and activating natural skin regeneration processes. Photorejuvenation, recommended for women and men between the ages of 25 and 45, has a rather mild rejuvenating effect and aims to correct some aesthetic defects: wrinkles, age spots, post-acne. Laser resurfacing (fractional facelift) is more aggressive and is recommended for severe signs of aging for the 40+ category;
- biorevitalization without injection or mesotherapy. To perform anti-aging manipulations, hyaluronic biorevitalizers and mesotherapy cocktails are used. Penetration of useful components into the skin is carried out using laser exposure;
- SMAS lifting. The revolutionary anti-aging technique deserves special attention. The essence of the non-invasive SMAS lifting procedure is the focused action of ultrasound on the musculo-aponeurotic system located under the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous fat. The process of rejuvenation, tissue renewal occurs in deep layers, as a result of 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 raised. The rejuvenation procedure is one-time, done once a year;
- RF lift- a rejuvenation technique based on the effect of high-frequency currents on the dermis and hypodermis. The effect of skin rejuvenation occurs due to tissue heating and stimulation of the production of its own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid;
- cryolifting- cold skin rejuvenation procedure. In this case, the treatment of the facial skin with a special probe tip, cooled to -15°C, acts as a stimulator of the active regeneration processes, slowing down its aging.
Hardware methods of rejuvenation, which are included by cosmetologists in complex anti-aging programs, also include basic procedures -ultrasonic cleaning and carbon laser peeling.
Aesthetic cosmetology for face rejuvenation
Along with 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 using a set of professional cosmetics according to skin type;
- massages.
Acid-based peel- Quite popular anti-aging procedures, especially effective at the first signs of aging of the skin of the face. The method works by exfoliating the upper stratum corneum of the skin and injuring the living tissues of the epidermis. The deeper layers of the skin are unaffected. Skin microburn causes an increase in the growth of collagen and elastin fibers and an acceleration of the tissue renewal process. 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 rejuvenating the face in cosmetology salons, varioustypes of massages:
- classic manual;
- korugi;
- myofascial;
- sculptural;
- buccal;
- Spanish chiromassage.
Rejuvenating facial massages differ in technique. In general, their essence lies in the normalization of metabolic processes, the removal of puffiness and the stimulation of cell regeneration.
The complexes of facial skin rejuvenation procedures with the use of cosmetic products include cleansing, peeling, application of anti-aging fluids and serums.
Selection of antiaging nonsurgical procedures by type of aging
Cosmetologists distinguish 4 types of facial skin aging, based on which they select corrective care and rejuvenation procedures.
- Fine wrinkled aging type. With 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, mesotherapy procedures are prescribed. Photorejuvenation and botulinum toxin injections are very effective.
- Type of gravitational aging. A feature is the deformation of the oval of the face (the presence of a second chin, jowls). There are also nasolabial folds, omission of the eyelids. The most effective methods of rejuvenation are massages, radio wave lifting, SMAS lifting, lipolytic injections.
- Tired type of aging. In people with this type, age-related changes are manifested in an unhealthy complexion, the formation of bags under the eyes and nasolacrimal furrows, slight ptosis of the eyebrows, eyelids and corners of the lips. Fillers, peels, hardware lifting techniques are used as an 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 of the tissues, and there is no deformation of the oval of the face. With muscle type of aging, peelings, botulinum toxin and phototherapy are recommended for skin rejuvenation.
The type of aging is not the only, albeit important, criterion in choosing rejuvenation methods. 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 beautician.
