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 labor, but also the wide possibilities of cosmetology, the presence of a huge selection of effective and safe skin rejuvenation methods.
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 that involve hardware, injection, and aesthetic procedures. Let us dwell on the most popular salon methods of rejuvenation.
When to use non-surgical rejuvenation methods
The skin on the face, as well as in the neck and décolleté area requires special attention and professional care in case of:
- dull, grayish skin color;
- age pigmentation;
- sagging, decreased skin elasticity;
- mimic and static wrinkles;
- omission of the corners of the eyelids, eyebrows, lips (gravitational ptosis);
- fat packs in the cheek area;
- double chin;
- paint bags and nasolacrimal grooves;
- dark circles under the eyes.
The most effective anti-aging methods or a complex of antiage procedures will help you choose a beautician. The specialist prescribes both single anti-aging procedures and courses of rejuvenation sessions.
Rejuvenating beauty injections
Intradermal and subcutaneous injections are minimally invasive rejuvenation methods that provide a pronounced and long-lasting effect. Popular types of anti-aging 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 young girls and men;
- botulinum therapyaimed at rejuvenation, smoothing mimic wrinkles due to the immobilization of 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 cosmetology are hyaluronic fillers, which are injected at 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 signs of aging, biodegradable fillers are introduced, which first create volume due to the filler, and then maintain a rejuvenating effect due to the launch of the natural process of collagen and elastin production;
- lipolytic injections- splitting 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 the plasma of a person's own blood, enriched with platelets.
Facial rejuvenation procedures
Modern hardware cosmetology allows not only to eliminate 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 due to the heating of the dermal layer with light rays and the activation of natural regeneration processes in the skin. Photorejuvenation, which is recommended for women and men aged 25-45, has a rather mild rejuvenating effect and is aimed at correcting certain aesthetic flaws: wrinkles, age spots, post-acne. Laser resurfacing (fractional lifting) is more aggressive and is recommended for severe signs of aging for category 40+;
- non-injection biorevitalization or mesotherapy. To perform anti-aging manipulations, hyaluronic biorevitalizants and mesotherapeutic cocktails are used. Penetration into the skin of useful components is carried out using laser exposure;
- SMAS lifting. The revolutionary anti-aging technique deserves special attention. The essence of the procedure of non-invasive SMAS-lifting is the focused action of ultrasound on the muscular-aponeurotic system located below the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous fat. The process of rejuvenation, tissue renewal occurs in the 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 lifted. The rejuvenation procedure is one-time, carried out once a year;
- RF lifting- a rejuvenating technique based on the effect of high-frequency currents on the dermis and hypodermis. The effect of skin rejuvenation occurs due to the heating of tissues and stimulation of the production of its own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid;
- cryolifting- cold skin rejuvenation procedure. In this case, the treatment of facial skin with a special probe tip, cooled to -15 ° C, acts as a stimulator of active regeneration processes, slowing down aging.
The hardware methods of rejuvenation, which are included by cosmetologists in complex anti-aging programs, also include basic procedures -ultrasonic cleaning and laser carbon peeling.
Aesthetic cosmetology for facial rejuvenation
Along with hardware and injection methods, cosmetology also uses simpler, but no less effective procedures for facial skin rejuvenation. These include, in particular:
- chemical peels;
- skin care programs for rejuvenation using a series of professional cosmetics according to skin type;
- massages.
Acid based peels- Quite popular anti-aging procedures, which are especially effective at the first signs of aging of the facial skin. 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 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 carried out only in specialized clinics, and only once in a lifetime.
For lifting and facial rejuvenation in cosmetology 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, the removal of puffiness, and the stimulation of cell regeneration.
Complexes of rejuvenating procedures for facial skin with the use of cosmetic products include cleansing, peeling, application of anti-aging fluids and serums.
Selection of anti-aging non-surgical procedures by type of aging
Cosmetologists distinguish 4 types of facial skin aging, according to which they select care and rejuvenating corrective procedures.
- Fine wrinkled type of aging. 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.
- Gravitational type of aging. A characteristic 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 grooves, slight ptosis of the eyebrows, eyelids, and corners of the lips. Fillers, peels, hardware lifting techniques are used as effective means of rejuvenation.
- Muscular 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 tissues, and there are no deformations of the face oval. With the muscular type of aging, peels, 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.
