From around 27-30 years of age, irreversible aging processes begin in the skin of the face. Particularly vulnerable in this regard is the delicate and thin skin around the eyes, which shamelessly demonstrates age-related changes and the consequences of insufficient care. Modern cosmetology offers many options to combat wrinkles, soft tissue relaxation and reduce skin elasticity. Some of these methods are available for home use, while others are meant to be used by the hands of an experienced technician.
Cosmetic procedures for face rejuvenation
The choice of skin rejuvenation procedure should be determined by the age of the patient. The use of surgical methods is hardly justified for young women, and methods such as light massage and homemade masks will not have a pronounced effect on age-related changes after fifty.
Also, when you decide to deal with impending signs of aging, you need to take into account the characteristics of your health. If methods such as anti-aging masks, ice cube massage and gymnastics for the facial muscles can be used at home, then in the case of injection and hardware methods, the cosmetologist must carefully monitor the progress of the procedure.
All injection methods for youth extension should be carried out by specialists with a higher medical education. When choosing hardware rejuvenation techniques, it is crucial to be interested in the employee's qualifications and the technical condition of the equipment.
The new articles in the cosmetology sector deserve special attention in this regard. These include coral exfoliation, thermage, and modern wire lifting technologies. In order not to face unpleasant side effects after a rejuvenation session, choose only an experienced aesthetic cosmetologist who has performed at least a hundred procedures and is familiar with the various individual reactions of patients.
No matter how secure your hardware rejuvenation sessions are, before they can be performed, you need to pass tests and undergo basic body exams prescribed by a doctor.
Effective rejuvenation procedures for women over 30
After thirty years, all the consequences of an inadequate lifestyle and inadequate skin care become visible to others. The signs of skin aging at this age include a dull complexion, loss of skin firmness and the appearance of fine lines of expression.
Intensive therapy with nourishing and moisturizing masks
To eliminate age-related signs, the skin of the face and eye area must be nourished and moisturized thoroughly. Even oily skin needs deep hydration after thirty years, and dry, problem skin without proper care can begin to age quickly. Dehydration is a serious skin problem for women in their thirties.
The undoubted advantages of using moisturizing masks at home include the low cost of care components and the simplicity of making anti-aging compositions. In addition, the use of this skin rejuvenation method is completely safe and eliminates the risk of injury and complications.
Masks based on the yolk of chicken or quail eggs, pressed yeast, gelatin and aloe pulp (agave) are useful for visible hydration of the skin. Adding natural flower honey, cold-pressed nourishing oils and fresh cream to the mask will increase the effectiveness of the procedure.
Fruit and berry masks made from grape pulp, banana, strawberry, persimmon or peach are extremely useful for tired and dehydrated skin.
I didn't really trust the homemade masks until I saw my friend's result applying them. He uses them regularly and advised me to take a course with these masks. After applying them, I didn't recognize myself. I became a few years younger. The skin appears fresh and rested. The good news is that the masks are very cheap and the effect is amazing. I will continue to do them.
Self-rejuvenating massage
Properly performed self-massage refers to types of intensive exposure and is able to eliminate the pronounced signs of aging of the skin of the face. The massage improves microcirculation and normalizes lymphatic drainage, helping to smooth out the fine lines of expression that appear after thirty years.
A quiet and pleasant music during the facial self-massage will allow you to relax and tune into a positive state of mind, which will increase the effectiveness of the procedure.
The classic anti-aging face massage is performed using techniques such as stroking, rubbing and vibrations. All these techniques should be applied in strict accordance with the location of the massage lines on the face, as the wrong effect can seriously damage the skin.
The contraindications to the self-massage procedure are:
- fungal diseases of the epidermis;
- general infectious diseases, accompanied by fever;
- violation of the integrity of the skin.
You don't come across a facial massage every day (and I don't have enough time, and I leave often, and it's expensive), so I started studying how to do a rejuvenating massage on my own. The effect is noticeable rather quickly: the face immediately acquires a fresh color, the skin becomes more elastic, the nasolabial folds are less pronounced.
Injection mesotherapy with organic acids
Mesotherapy is sometimes called "beauty injections", as this cosmetic procedure can significantly rejuvenate the skin of the face and give it a fresh and supple appearance.
The procedure is a subcutaneous injection at a reduced depth of a mesotherapy cocktail consisting of micro-doses of anti-aging drugs. For the skin after thirty years, cosmetologists recommend using organic acids: hyaluronic and polylactonic.
The undoubted advantages of injection mesotherapy include:
- no long rehabilitation period;
- targeted therapeutic effect on the problem area;
- high efficiency, comparable to the efficiency of surgery;
- few complications after the procedure.
Main contraindications for injectable mesotherapy:
- blood clotting disorder;
- recent herpes;
- low pain threshold;
- pregnancy and lactation.
For a full rejuvenation cycle, you will need 6 to 10 procedures, twice a month. Supportive therapy is therefore possible.
Regular mesotherapy courses will help postpone long-term skin aging and keep the face and eye area young.
The first result of the action of the drug I saw on myself immediately, literally, in an hour. The skin shone, became, I would say, tight. In the morning there was no trace of the injection, except for the small bruises, which were easily covered. And after two days my skin smoothed out in the nasolabial areas. She felt sheen and a velvety, healthy complexion. The day after the procedure, I continued my usual lifestyle.
Get rid of wrinkles and signs of aging after 35
After 35 years, the main task in skin care is to maintain the tone of the facial muscles and increase the elasticity of the epidermis. To improve the nutrition of the skin, you can still use homemade nourishing masks, and for intensive hydration, mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid.
Cryomassage at home
Facial massage with ice cubes can relieve skin dryness due to aging, greatly firm up tired skin and give the face a fresh and rested appearance. This massage is performed twice a day, morning and evening.
The procedure itself is extremely simple: the cleansed skin of the face, neck and décolleté is rubbed with ice cubes based on artesian water. Similarly, you can use frozen decoctions and infusions of medicinal plants: mint, lime blossom, aloe pulp.
Care must be taken to ensure that the ice blocks are free of chunks or air bubbles. Otherwise, microtraumas of the skin are possible.
Cosmetologists refer to contraindications for home cryomassage:
- rosacea;
- fungal skin diseases;
- the proximity of blood vessels to the surface of the skin.
This is the most fun morning routine! Which helps to wake up and restore elasticity to the skin. With daily use, your skin transforms. If you have very sensitive and thin skin, wrap the ice cube in a soft cloth. And then wipe your face.
Anti-aging facial gymnastics
One of the inexpensive and incredibly effective methods of maintaining a young face is special gymnastics or face building. Its action is based on improving blood circulation in the muscles of the face and epidermis, normalizing oxygen metabolism and lymphatic drainage. Performing facial gymnastics does not require special skills, expensive cosmetics and complex instrumentation. Just find ten or fifteen minutes a day.
It should be remembered that to achieve a pronounced effect of facial rejuvenation, it is necessary to perform a gymnastic complex every day. The facade construction course is 20-30 procedures, three to four courses per year will be needed.
Contraindications to the use of a set of exercises are:
- recent botulinum toxin injections;
- tendency to sudden changes in pressure;
- inflammation of the facial nerves;
- severe colds.
The face is also made up of muscles, and these muscles require effort and training. When the facial muscles do not receive full and correct load, they gradually lose their elasticity and weaken. Obviously the effect was not instantaneous. But the longer I did gymnastics, the better the results. After almost 2 years of regular exercise, the forehead wrinkles disappeared, the nasolabial folds were noticeably smoothed. The lips became fuller and fuller. The vertical crease of the jaw has straightened. The taut oval of the face, the skin seems tight, there is no double chin.
Microdermabrasion or mechanical peeling
Mechanical peeling or superficial microdermabrasion are perfectly suited to the reduction of facial skin tone and the appearance of mimic wrinkles. This procedure is performed in a beauty salon or a clinic that specializes in non-surgical rejuvenation methods.
Surface mechanical peeling refers to gentle rejuvenation procedures, since it excludes the effect of the apparatus on the deep subcutaneous layers. However, there are some contraindications to this method of prolonging youth.
Among these are the main ones:
- tendency to form scars and keloid scars;
- hyperpigmentation;
- increased sensitivity and low pain threshold.
Microdermabrasion shows particularly evident results on the sagging skin of the face, which quickly loses elasticity.
Owners of oily skin notice that the face gradually becomes dull and velvety, over time the production of sebaceous secretions normalizes.
For a pronounced rejuvenating effect, the cosmetologist prescribes a course of five or seven procedures with a frequency of once every two months.
Nice procedure. Much depends on the specialist, on the power of the device. The skin tone is more even. I also noticed that there was less inflammation, more smoothness, the skin was pleasant to the touch, sometimes I didn't want to hydrate at all after a shower, it seemed to breathe, the pores tightened.
Anti-aging treatment for the skin after 40
After forty years, the skin begins to lose moisture and fades faster than before. Hormonal changes in the body reduce the amount of collagen, which leads to a loss of firmness and elasticity of the epidermis. As a result, expression and age wrinkles deepen significantly. Hydration, lifting and deep nutrition are what the skin needs after forty years.
Alginate masks in the beauty salon and at home
Plasticising masks based on algae (alginate) not only effectively rejuvenate the skin of the face, but also stimulate the regenerative processes in the soft tissues and the superficial layer of the epidermis. This treatment provides intense skin hydration at all levels, replenishing moisture and nutrient deficiencies.
Alginate masks can be made independently at home, which significantly reduces the cost of the procedure. The course consists of 15-20 sessions held two or three times a week.
If, before applying the plasticizer mask, the skin is further moistened with a saturated serum or light emulsion, the effect of the procedure will increase several times.
With the help of alginate masks, a few months ago I started modeling the face. There are still many wrinkles left, indeed, the contour has stiffened, which, you see, is also important. In general, such procedures have a general anti-aging effect, I was convinced of that. The main thing is to use them correctly and in combination with other cosmetic procedures, the effect will only increase.
Chemical peeling with fruit acids
The medium chemical peel is considered an extremely effective procedure for prolonging the youthful skin of the face. Basically, peeling with fruit acids is a minor and controlled burn of the surface layer of the epidermis, the purpose of which is to initiate regenerative processes and activate the production of one's own collagen.
The following acids are used for peeling:
- milk;
- lemon;
- wine;
- apple;
- glycolic.
AHA acid-based medium peeling refers to gentle skin care procedures, but sometimes a slight reddening of the epidermis, a slight burning sensation and itching, as well as a slight swelling are possible after the session.
Among the contraindications to the peeling procedure are the main ones:
- inflammatory process in the body;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- intense tan, accompanied by peeling of the skin;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
Five or seven sessions are enough to achieve a pronounced rejuvenating effect. The cosmetologist prescribes the frequency individually.
Cosmetologists recommend carrying out chemical peeling using fruit acids exclusively under the supervision of a specialist, since at home there is a risk of incorrect concentration of the working composition.
Fruit acids act only on dead skin cells, without affecting healthy ones. As a result, the skin condition has significantly improved. In a few weeks, the pigmentation on my face disappeared, the formation of blackheads and blackheads decreased, the wrinkles became almost invisible. I was satisfied with the result. Procedure: peeling with fruit acids has a long-term rejuvenating effect, the skin is firmed, its color improves and the work of the sebaceous glands is normalized.
Ozone therapy
Ozone therapy refers to injection techniques for skin rejuvenation. The essence of the procedure is that a dermatologist injects microdoses of ozone, which are bonded oxygen molecules, into the patient's dermis.
The oxygenation of the skin leads to its natural strengthening, which occurs thanks to the increased synthesis of collagen and elastin. The lifting effect is usually enough for 6-8 months, during which time the skin pleases its owner with a flawless appearance.
An experienced specialist punctually injects the composition for skin rejuvenation, exclusively in those areas that require corrective intervention. Therefore, non-surgical face plasty is performed.
The full course consists of 10-12 procedures, which the dermatologist prescribes individually to the patient. Two or three cycles can be done during the year, depending on the reaction of the epidermis.
Ozone is an extremely toxic gas, therefore a dermatologist of the highest category should conduct ozone therapy sessions. Self-administration of ozone injections is not allowed.
After completing half of the course, I began to notice that the face was changing in front of our eyes: the skin was smooth, even, rejuvenated, the complexion improved, the pores narrowed, the oval of the faceit stiffened and, above all, the scars, the spots began to disappear !!! By the way, everyone close to me noticed my facial changes. After the procedures, my skin is "revived", maybe I can tell. The result is a clean face, no visible scars, my little second chin is gone, my skin is fresh, breathable, beautiful without foundation.
Cosmetic procedures effective after 45 years
After 45 years, the epidermis becomes thin and dehydrated and the facial folds become deeper. The soft tissues sag more and more, the expression lines become even more.
Compresses with healing oils and salon rejuvenation methods will help to successfully combat the further development of age-related changes.
Anti-aging packs with healing oils
Tablets based on natural oils with a rich composition of unsaturated acids and vitamins can slow down the aging process of the skin.
This treatment can be applied at home, all you need is a container to mix the oils and a clean cloth mask. Among the effective anti-aging formulations for oil packs are the following:
- 2 st. L. burdock oil, 1 tbsp. L. coconut oil, 4 drops of damask rose ether;
- 3 tbsp. L. sweet almond oil, 1 tsp. carrot seed oils; 5 drops of nerol ether;
- 2 tbsp. L. grape seed oil, 2 tbsp. L. jojoba oil, 1 tsp. rosehip seed oil, 2 drops of fennel ether;
- 3 tbsp. L. olive oil, 1 tbsp. L. castor oil, 2 drops of sandalwood ether;
- 3 tbsp. L. sea buckthorn seed oil, 1 tsp. avocado oil, 2 drops of jasmine and frankincense esters.
Photorejuvenation
The principle of photorejuvenation is to remove the stratum corneum from the surface of the epidermis. This effect is achieved by using pulsed broadband radiation, from which ultraviolet rays are excluded.
Phototherapy, unfortunately, is not able to cope with deep depressions of mimic wrinkles in the nasolabial area and on the forehead, but it is quite capable of significantly "firming" the skin in other areas. The course of photorejuvenation will reduce the intensity of the signs of aging, reduce the laxity and porosity of aging skin.
The main contraindications to photorejuvenation include:
- diagnosed psoriasis, dermatitis of various etiologies;
- tan;
- hormonal diseases;
- dark skin (phototype V);
- pathology of the retina;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- bleeding disorders;
- violation of the integrity of the skin.
I have been doing photo rejuvenation every year for 10 years. The pigmentation is also gone. In addition, skin lifting is observed, fine wrinkles are smoothed, the skin is radiant, pores are narrowed. This procedure is very useful in preventing skin aging.
Botulinum toxin injections
The most effective way to get rid of mimic deep wrinkles, cosmetologists consider subcutaneous injections of botulinum toxin. In general, the neurotoxin of botulism is a powerful poison that blocks the transmission of nerve impulses. As a result, the muscles relax, which leads to smoothing even deep expression lines.
Botulinum toxin injections are suitable for use in any area of the face, but in some the effect is stronger.
For example, in the paraorbital zone (the area around the eyes) and in the eyebrow area, the action of neurotoxin provides the most persistent anti-aging effect.
Contraindications for this rejuvenation method include:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- tendency to myasthenic reactions;
- hernia on the eyelids;
- inflammatory processes;
- recent surgery;
- infectious diseases;
- taking antibiotics;
- high degree of myopia;
- susceptibility to allergic reactions.
Botox lasts up to six months. The muscles always remain relaxed, guaranteeing an impeccable and toned appearance.
Botox has a numbing effect, relaxes and smoothes the facial muscles. The procedure is absolutely not traumatic, the injection mark is barely noticeable. As a result of using Botox regularly (every 6-7 months), I haven't had crow's feet for 7 years. Years pass and wrinkles do not form.
How to preserve the youth and beauty of the skin after 50 years
The fiftieth birthday, as a rule, in women coincides with a period of stable menopause. This means that the level of the female hormone estrogen in the body has decreased significantly. As a result, the fibroblasts that support the dermal structure began to be produced in the deep layers of the skin in a much smaller volume, which leads to the activation of the aging process and the deepening of age folds.
At this age, the skin of the face needs support, otherwise gravitational ptosis will cause irreversible soft tissue prolapse. Such support can be successfully provided by contour correction using fillers and wire lifting. Home care was also not canceled - home rejuvenation methods allow you to keep the skin on your face between salon procedures.
Contour correction with fillers
Contour correction involves the introduction of preparations based on sodium hyaluronate and collagen into the subcutaneous layers. This allows you to fill in expression lines and age wrinkles, restoring smooth and even relief to the face.
Injection fillers are used both natural and synthetic.
The number of sessions is determined by the cosmetologist individually in each case. The obtained rejuvenation effect also lasts very differently: in some patients it lasts more than two years, while in others the fillers dissolve in six months.
Cosmetologists say contouring is the only way to remove deep nasolabial folds. No other drug gives such a pronounced effect.
Face contouring is for life, if you've done it once, then you don't want to be like before. I have been doing this procedure regularly for 5 years now. And I will not stop. Only she saves me from visiting a plastic surgeon. Don't be afraid, there's nothing wrong with that. Make a decision.
Lifting the wire
The rejuvenation method with special threads is extremely effective and long lasting. It is suitable for those patients who cannot afford to frequently visit a cosmetologist. The lifting effect of the thread lasts from three to five years.
For reinforcement, threads of materials such as:
are used- precious metals (gold and platinum);
- teflon;
- medical polypropylene;
- sodium hyaluronate liquid gel and zinc oxide.
Almost all strands are able to dissolve and disappear without a trace, cosmetologists call them biodegradable. The only exceptions are precious metal and Teflon threads, which absorb over a very long period of time.
The contraindications to lifting with wire reinforcement are:
- diseases associated with impaired circulation and blood clotting;
- tendency to allergic reactions accompanied by dermatitis of various genesis;
- pregnancy and lactation.
A particularly pronounced result is demonstrated by wire lifting in patients with severe gravitational ptosis of the lower face and deep sinking of the nasolabial folds.
For fifteen years now, thread lifting has been used successfully as a technique to rejuvenate mature skin, serving as a good practical basis for claiming that a thread lifting is safe and extremely effective.
The result was immediately visible. The skin has firmed like after a surgical facelift. The contour of the face became clear, wrinkles smoothed out. And the face is truly rejuvenated. Furthermore, it was promised that the anti-aging effect should increase. In general, the result of the procedure exceeded all my expectations! Less a few years for sure!
