Today you can visually look younger in a couple of weeks. It is enough to go to an aesthetic medicine center or beauty salon and undergo procedures that will make you younger. Let's find out how to choose the right one.
When can you start?
At what age can you start practicing cosmetic rejuvenation procedures? It is generally accepted that it is useless to do this before the age of 30. But this opinion is wrong.
Cosmetologists claim that carrying out anti-aging procedures at the age of 20-25 is the norm. It allows you to correct the condition of the skin over time, saturate it with the necessary substances, even out and maintain its tone. Over time, according to the recommendations of the cosmetologist, the anti-aging program will change due to the inclusion of more effective components and schemes.
The sooner you start regular care and corrective procedures that will improve the condition of the skin, the easier it will be to achieve the desired result later on.
20-30 years
From 20 to 30 years, cosmetologists recommend preventive procedures:
- mesotherapy with cocktails containing a low concentration of vitamin complexes;
- superficial peeling - ultrasonic, gas-liquid, with fruit acids 1 time in 6 months;
- biorevitalization - injections of preparations based on hyaluronic acid for intensive hydration and "revitalization" of the dermis of any type;
- home care cosmetics with antioxidants;
- mandatory photoprotection - the use of creams with an SPF index.
A good dermis restoring effect at the age of 30+ can be achieved after:
- Plasmolifting: the introduction of the patient's autoplasm, purified and saturated with growth factors. To do this, 20-100 ml of the patient's own blood is taken, which passes through the processing stage of the centrifuge, and then enriched plasma is injected under the skin of the face and neck.
- Thread reinforcement or thread lifting - tissue strengthening and strengthening with absorbable "youth preservatives" - threads creating a frame. This natural construction maintains the oval of the face, prevents the formation of wrinkles and skin folds.
- Fractional laser photothermolysis - direct exposure to a beam of very fine rays - fractions that cause controlled micro-damage. This temperature effect stimulates the natural recovery process: tissue regeneration.
35-40 years
After 35 years, the skin quickly loses its natural tone, becomes thinner, drier, wrinkles deepen and the creases around the eyes, nose and mouth turn into static creases.
Depending on the condition of the skin, a dermatocosmetologist may recommend the following cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation:
- Contouring - to restore the previous volumes of the skin, its smoothing and compaction, as well as the correction of the nasolabial folds and the nasolacrimal sulcus.
- Median chemical peel for active skin regeneration, restoration of uniform relief and smoothing of fine wrinkles.
- Injections of preparations based on purified botulinum toxin, which smooth out particularly pronounced wrinkles and folds of the face.
- Photorejuvenation that accelerates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, improving the appearance of the skin.
45-50 years
At this age, the body's processes of synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid gradually tend to a minimum. Small wrinkles appear on the skin, it becomes thinner, drier, a second chin appears. The relief of the face is blurred, the contours appear sharper or, on the contrary, they are covered with swelling.
Procedures for women 45+ are suitable:
- beauty injections to reduce the depth of wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes;
- thread lifting - for active skin tightening and elimination of the double chin in order to restore the oval of the face;
- laser skin rejuvenation - for an intense lifting, smoothing and firming of the dermis in order to globally solve the problem of its aging.
50-60 years
At this age, instead of procedures that stimulate skin regeneration, it is better to pay attention to injection replacement therapy and thread lifting.
For women over 50, serrated fastening threads demonstrate an excellent effect. They help not only to tighten and strengthen the tissues, but also to hold them firmly in the selected position. With the help of such strands, they tighten the chin area, remove the cheeks, tighten the cheeks and restore the oval of the face.
The 5 best salon procedures in the mid-price segment
Rejuvenation programs include injection techniques and hardware.
Botulinum therapy
Effective in eliminating wrinkles on the forehead, bridge of the nose and "crow's feet" around the eyes. Drugs that are injected into the facial muscles of the face block transmitted nerve impulses. The skin is smooth. The effect lasts about 5-6 months, then the procedure is repeated.
Mesotherapy
This is the introduction of individually selected cocktails based on hyaluronate, organic acids, various vitamin complexes and plant extracts. The depth of injection does not exceed 0. 6 mm. Beauty injections are performed manually or with the help of injectors - hardware mesotherapy.
The first effect is noticeable after 2-3 procedures, after 4-5 a stable result appears, but the course continues up to 8-10 procedures to consolidate the effect.
Positive changes after a course of mesotherapy persist for about six months. They can be extended by repeated mesotherapy or maintenance procedures, 1-2 sessions per month.
Biorevitalization
This procedure helps eliminate skin imperfections by saturating the deep layers with hyaluronate. Made with:
- The classic method consists of multiple subcutaneous injections using a syringe or hardware nozzles. The method is distinguished by the fastest and most pronounced effect, but characteristic papules, swelling and hematomas appear after the injections.
- Laser biorevitalization - when hyaluronate is delivered to the tissues by laser exchange. The advantages of this method over injections are a reduced recovery phase and a minimum of contraindications. But the efficiency is much lower. If in the classic version 1-2 injections are required, then with the laser technique it is necessary to undergo 5-8 procedures.
Contour plastic
The ranking of the best anti-aging procedures is guided by the injection technique to eliminate wrinkles and correct facial contours. The essence of this technique is the filling of subcutaneous voids with gel preparations called "fillers".
With the help of contour plastic:
- eliminate any kind of wrinkles, with the exception of deep folds with destruction of the skin structure;
- increase the lips and correct their shape;
- eliminate facial asymmetry;
- form the missing volume of a particular area of the face: cheeks, chin, cheekbones and others.
The result after the injections is immediately noticeable. The initial assessment can be given in -2 days after the session and the final assessment in about a week. Depending on the drug, the effect can last from 4-6 months to 1. 5-3 years.
Hardware cosmetology
The best hardware anti-aging facial procedures are photorejuvenation, ELOS rejuvenation, photofractionated procedure, RF lift and SMAS lift.
Photorejuvenation is based on the treatment of the skin with light pulses, ELOS rejuvenation combines light and RF energy. The SMAS lifting acts on the skin with ultrasound, the RF lifting uses radiofrequency energy.
The Photofractional procedure is a sequential double skin treatment, comprising first IPL light phototherapy and then, after anesthesia, Fraxel fractional laser treatment. Photopulses illuminate the skin, removing pigmentation and a fractional laser stimulates the synthesis of collagen fibers that have been exposed to UV rays.
Cosmetic procedures for rejuvenation differ for different age categories of patients: the intensity of exposure, the number of sessions and the need for repeated treatments, the concentration of drugs and other factors. It is better to choose the most effective of them with an experienced dermatocosmetologist after a thorough examination of the skin condition.
