Modern cosmetology offers a wide range of procedures that promote rejuvenation of tissues and the body as a whole. Women successfully use many of these procedures at home. These are all kinds of shallow peelings, masks, creams, as well as exposure to contrasting temperatures (steam baths, ice rubdowns, contrasting washes). In a beauty salon, all these procedures are performed by professional cosmetologists using modern and effective products. Of the procedures that cannot be used at home, injections (for example, botulinum toxin), mesotherapy, and implantation of gold threads are very popular.
Botulinum toxin
Botulinum toxin is a drug derived from paralyzing substances and causes temporary atrophy of the terminal nerve endings. This allows you to get rid of small wrinkles under the eyes, at the temples, and in the upper lip area. The drug, injected into certain areas, causes the smoothing of facial wrinkles, especially in the forehead and around the eyes.
One to two weeks after the injection, muscle motor activity weakens. Injections should be repeated every three to four months. Contacting a cosmetologist is recommended again after the patient notices a resumption of muscle activity. For a long-lasting effect, three sessions per year are required.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a method that involves introducing biologically active and tonic substances into the skin using a special syringe-gun. They improve skin nutrition, restore collagen fibers, and accelerate regenerative processes. For facial skin care, an extract from embryonic tissue is recommended. It is this extract that restores the regenerating functions of the skin. Extracts from various plants, for example, artichoke, grapefruit, ginkgo, are useful for the body, which help get rid of cellulite. To achieve a positive result, a course of 6-8 sessions is carried out over 1-1. 5 months.
Chemical peeling
You can also improve the appearance of your skin bychemical peeling. With the help of certain preparations, most often plant (fruit) acids, the topmost layer of skin is removed - dry, dead cells with altered pigmentation. In addition to stimulating the appearance of a new layer of skin, fruit acids are good antioxidants that protect the skin from damage from ultraviolet rays. Chemical peeling is divided into:surface,medianAnddeep- this division is mainly due to the use of various acids. Superficial and medium peelings are performed on an outpatient basis and require virtually no preparation or rehabilitation. Superficial peeling can be carried out once every two weeks, medium peeling - with a break of several months. Deep peeling is not recommended to be done more than once a year, and only in a hospital. In the first ten days after the procedure, the skin swells and, as a rule, becomes covered with a crust. However, after the rehabilitation period, the patient gets rid of even deep wrinkles, and the effect on the entire face is quite comparable to traditional surgical lifting.
Photorejuvenation
Another effective and at the same time low-traumatic procedure isphotorejuvenation. During it, the surface layer of the skin is not broken. The light source simply heats the desired area of skin to 50 °C. The impact occurs at a strictly defined depth - this is achieved using light with different wavelengths. Using this technique, you can remove age spots, damage to small skin vessels, large pores and collagen defects, including wrinkles. This procedure, depending on the complexity, takes from several minutes to an hour. Dilated capillaries are removed immediately and without a trace, and large vessels and pigment spots disappear within a few days after the session. There may also be redness and slight swelling of the skin, which lasts for several hours. Depending on the problem, the cosmetologist prescribes the required number of sessions.
Grinding
One of the most effective anti-aging procedures isskin resurfacing (dermabrasion).A laser beam or fine abrasive removes the dead surface layer of skin, in its place young cells and new elastic and collagen fibers appear. Mechanical resurfacing is now used less and less, because with the help of lasers it is possible not only to "replace" the top layer of skin, but also to eliminate scars, the effects of acne or deep wrinkles. This procedure is very effective, but in complexity it approaches plastic surgery. Laser resurfacing, as a rule, is carried out in a surgical hospital, and after that there is a fairly long - one and a half to two months - rehabilitation period.
Golden threads
Implantation of gold threads is an ancient method of preserving youth, known since the times of the Egyptian pyramids. Its essence lies in the implantation of threads that form a kind of frame that does not allow the skin to sag under the influence of gravity. After the operation, patients note an improvement in the elasticity of facial tissues and look refreshed and rejuvenated.
Some troubles: swelling of soft tissues, small hematomas disappear over time. But an effect is achieved that can be appreciated over time. The skin seems to be preserved and the patient who has undergone the procedure looks at least five years younger than her peers. Implantation of gold threads is a procedure that prevents aging. Therefore, the optimal age for the first operation can be considered 30-35 years.
Stem cells
Expensive methods of rejuvenating the body using stem cells were developed at the end of the 19th century. They have now become a reality. Having received an intravenous injection of a stem cell culture and an intramuscular injection of signaling molecules, a person acquires a completely new quality of life. Diseases recede, general tone and memory improve, libido and potency increase.
The appearance undergoes fantastic changes. Without regular tedious procedures, without operations, a person becomes younger before the eyes of amazed relatives and colleagues. Such dramatic changes cannot be achieved by other methods. Not only appearance is involved in the rejuvenation process, organs become younger, hormonal levels increase, and the body again begins to produce young, viable cells. Unfortunately, these methods are used by a limited number of highly professional cosmetology clinics with state-of-the-art laboratories. It is worth adding that the cost of such a procedure is affordable to very few.
