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 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 knife of the surgeon. Depending on the specific problems and the age of the client, specialists in beauty salons select a variety of anti-aging programs that involve hardware, injections and cosmetic procedures. Let's dwell on the most popular in-salon rejuvenation methods.
When to use non-surgical rejuvenation methods
The skin of the face, as well as that of the neck and décolleté requires special attention and professional care in the event of:
- dull, grayish skin color;
- age pigmentation;
- sagging, decreased elasticity of the skin;
- mimic and static wrinkles;
- omission of the corners of the eyelids, eyebrows, lips (gravitational ptosis);
- fat packs in the cheek area;
- double chin;
- paint sacs and lacrimo-nasal folds;
- dark circles under eyes.
The most effective anti-aging methods or a set of anti-aging procedures will help you choose a beautician. The specialist prescribes both unique anti-aging procedures and 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 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 of the tissues of the dermis. The method is also requested by young girls and men;
- botulinum therapyaimed at rejuvenation, smoothing of mimic wrinkles due to the 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 at different depths. Injectable anti-aging biogels are used to fill superficial, medium and deep wrinkles, correct facial contours and restore volumes lost with age. For injectable rejuvenation, reducing the signs of aging, biodegradable fillers are introduced, which first create volume thanks to the filler, then maintain a rejuvenating effect thanks to the launch of the natural process of collagen and elastin production;
- lipolytic injections- the division of fat cells in the cheeks, cheekbones, chin.
With significant signs of aging, anti-agingthread lift– bioreinforcement with absorbable sutures of the lower third of the face. Another popular type of injection 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 eliminate the first signs of aging, but also to rejuvenate the skin for ten years. Depending on the specific problem and the depth of the manifestations 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 by light rays and the activation of the natural regeneration processes of the skin. Photorejuvenation, recommended for women and men aged 25 to 45, has a rather mild rejuvenating effect and aims to correct certain aesthetic defects: wrinkles, age spots, post-acne. Laser resurfacing (fractional lifting) is more aggressive and is recommended for severe signs of aging for the 40+ category;
- biorevitalization or mesotherapy without injection. To carry out anti-aging manipulations, hyaluronic biorevitalizers and mesotherapeutic cocktails are used. Penetration into the skin of useful components is achieved by laser exposure;
- SMAS lifting. The revolutionary anti-aging technique deserves special attention. The essence of the non-invasive SMAS facelift procedure is the targeted action of ultrasound on the musculo-aponeurotic system located under 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 andeyebrows are raised. The rejuvenation procedure is unique, performed once a year;
- RF lifting- a rejuvenation technique based on the effect of high frequency currents on the dermis and the hypodermis. The rejuvenating effect of the skin is due to the heating of the tissues and the stimulation of the production of its own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid;
- cryolifting- cold skin rejuvenation procedure. In this case, the treatment of the skin of the face with a special probe tip, cooled to -15 ° C, acts as a stimulator of active regeneration processes, slowing down 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 facial rejuvenation
In addition to equipment and injection methods, cosmetology also uses simpler, but no less effective procedures for facial skin rejuvenation. These include:
- chemical peels;
- skin care programs for rejuvenation using a series of professional cosmetics according to skin type;
- massage.
Acid based peels- Quite popular anti-aging procedures, which are 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 deep layers of the skin are not affected. Cutaneous microburns cause an increase in the growth of collagen and elastin fibers, and an acceleration of the tissue renewal process. To correct age-related changes, midline peels are used. Rejuvenating deep peels involve the use of a highly toxic agent and are performed only in specialized clinics, and only once in a lifetime.
For face lifting and rejuvenation in cosmetology salons, varioustypes of massage:
- classic textbook;
- korugi;
- myofascial;
- sculptural;
- oral;
- Spanish chiromassage.
Rejuvenating facial massages differ in their technique. In general, their essence lies in the normalization of metabolic processes, the elimination of puffiness and the stimulation of cell regeneration.
Complexes of facial skin rejuvenation procedures with the use of cosmetics include cleansing, exfoliation, application of anti-aging fluids 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 rejuvenating care and corrective procedures.
- Fine and 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 characteristic feature is the deformation of the oval of the face (presence of a second chin, jowls). There are also nasolabial folds, omission of the eyelids. The most effective methods of rejuvenation are massage, radio wave lifting, SMAS lifting, lipolytic injections.
- Tired aging type. In people with this type, age-related changes are manifested by an unhealthy complexion, the formation of bags under the eyes and nasolacrimal furrows, a slight ptosis of the eyebrows, eyelids and corners of the lips. Fillers, peels, hardware lifting techniques are used as effective means of rejuvenation.
- Type of muscle 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 the absence of deformations of the oval of the face. With muscle type aging, peels, botulinum toxin and phototherapy are recommended for skin rejuvenation.
The type of aging is not the only criterion, although important, in the choice of 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.
