From the age of 27 to 30 years, irreversible aging processes begin in the facial skin. The sensitive and thin skin around the eyes, which shamelessly shows age-related changes and the consequences of inadequate care, is particularly at risk in this context. Modern cosmetics offer many options for combating wrinkles, sagging soft tissues and reducing skin elasticity. Some of these methods are available for home use while others are intended for the hand of a skilled technician.
Cosmetic procedures for the rejuvenation of the facial skin
The choice of skin rejuvenation procedure should depend on 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 do not have a pronounced effect on age-related changes after fifty years.
Also, when deciding on impending signs of age, you need to consider the characteristics of your health. If at home methods such as anti-aging masks, massage with ice cubes and gymnastics can be used for the muscles of the face, then in the case of injection and hardware methods, the beautician must carefully monitor the progress of the procedure.
All injection methods to prolong youth should be carried out by specialists with higher medical training. When choosing hardware rejuvenation techniques, it is imperative to be interested in the qualifications of the employee and the technical condition of the equipment.
In this regard, innovations in the cosmetics industry deserve special attention. These include coral peeling, thermal treatment and modern thread lift technologies. In order not to have unpleasant side effects after a rejuvenation session, you should choose only an experienced aesthetic beautician who has performed at least a hundred procedures and is familiar with the various individual reactions of patients.
No matter how safe hardware rejuvenation sessions are, tests must be passed and basic body exams prescribed by a doctor before they can be performed.
Effective rejuvenation procedures for women over 30
After 30 years, all the consequences of a bad lifestyle and inadequate skin care become visible to others. Signs of skin aging at this age are dull complexion, loss of firmness and the appearance of fine lines of expression.
Intensive care with nourishing and moisturizing masks
In order to eliminate age-related signs, the skin on the face and around the eyes must be thoroughly cared for and moisturized. Even oily skin needs deep hydration after 30 years, and dry and problematic skin without proper care can age quickly. Dehydration is a big skin problem for women in their thirties.
Undoubted advantages of using moisturizing masks at home include the low cost of the care components and the ease with which anti-aging compositions are made. In addition, this skin rejuvenation method is completely safe to use, eliminating the risk of injury and complications.
Masks based on the yolks of chicken or quail eggs, pressed yeast, gelatine and the pulp of aloe (agave) are suitable for visibly moisturizing the skin. The addition of natural flower honey, nourishing cold-pressed oils and fresh cream to the mask increases the effectiveness of the procedure.
Fruit and berry masks made from grape, banana, strawberry, persimmon or peach meat are extremely beneficial for tired, dehydrated skin.
I didn't really trust homemade masks until I saw my friend's result in applying it. She uses them regularly and advised me to take a course with such masks. After using it, I didn't recognize myself. I got a few years younger. The skin looks refreshed and rested. The good news is that the masks are very cheap and the effect is amazing. I will keep doing it.
Self-rejuvenating massage
A properly performed self-massage refers to intense types of exposure and can remove pronounced signs of aging. The massage improves microcirculation and normalizes lymphatic drainage, thereby smoothing out fine lines of expression that appear after 30 years.
Soft pleasant music during self-massage of the face allows you to relax and put yourself in a positive mood, which increases the effectiveness of the procedure.
The classic anti-aging facial massage is performed using techniques such as stroking, rubbing and vibrating. All of these techniques should be used in strict accordance with the location of the massage lines on the face, since the wrong effect can seriously damage your skin.
Contraindications for 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 go often and it's expensive) so I started learning how to do a rejuvenating massage myself. The effect is quickly noticeable - the face immediately takes on a fresh color, the skin becomes more elastic, the nasolabial folds are less pronounced.
Injection mesotherapy with organic acids
Mesotherapy is sometimes referred to as a "beauty injection" as this cosmetic procedure can significantly rejuvenate the skin of the face and give it a fresh and elastic appearance.
The procedure is a shallow subcutaneous injection of a mesotherapeutic cocktail made up of microdoses of anti-aging drugs. For the skin after 30 years, beauticians recommend the use of organic acids - hyaluronic acid and polylactonic acid.
The undoubted advantages of injection mesotherapy include:
- no long rehabilitation phase;
- targeted therapeutic effect on the problem area;
- high efficiency, comparable to the efficiency of surgical interventions;
- few complications after the procedure.
Main contraindications for injection mesotherapy:
- blood clotting disorder;
- new herpes;
- low pain threshold;
- pregnancy and breastfeeding.
For a complete rejuvenation course, you need 6 to 10 procedures twice a month. Supportive therapy is then possible.
Regular mesotherapy courses help to postpone skin aging in the long term and to keep the face and eye area youthful.
The first result of the drug's action, which I immediately saw on myself literally in an hour. The skin glowed, I would say, taut. In the morning there was no trace of the injection, other than the small bruises that were easily covered. And after two days my skin smoothed out in the nasolabial areas. Felt gloss and velvety, healthy complexion. The next day after the procedure, I resumed my usual lifestyle.
Eliminate 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 continue to use nourishing homemade masks and, for intensive hydration, mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid.
Cryomassage at home
The face massage with ice cubes can relieve the skin of age-related dryness, tighten the tired epidermis considerably and give the face a fresh, calm appearance. This massage is performed twice a day, morning and evening.
The process itself is extremely simple: the cleansed skin of the face, neck and décolleté is rubbed with ice cubes made from artesian water. In the same way, you can use frozen decoctions and infusions of medicinal plants: mint, linden blossom, aloe pulp.
It must be ensured that the ice blocks are free of lumps or air bubbles. Otherwise, microtraumas of the skin are possible.
Beauticians point out contraindications for cryomassage at home:
- rosacea;
- fungal skin diseases;
- the proximity of blood vessels to the surface of the skin.
This is the most pleasant morning routine! This helps wake up and restore skin elasticity. With daily use, your skin changes. If you have very sensitive and thin skin, wrap the ice cube in a soft cloth. And so you wipe your face.
Anti-aging facial gymnastics
One of the affordable and incredibly effective ways to maintain a youthful face is through specialty gymnastics, or face training. Its action is based on improving blood circulation in the muscles of the face and epidermis, which normalizes oxygen metabolism and lymphatic drainage. Performing facial gymnastics does not require special skills, expensive cosmetics and complex instruments. Finding just ten or fifteen minutes a day is enough.
It should be noted that it is necessary to do a gymnastics complex every day in order to achieve a pronounced effect of facial rejuvenation. The facebuilding course includes 20 to 30 procedures. Three to four courses are required per year.
Contraindications to using a number 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. If the muscles of the face are not fully and correctly loaded, they gradually lose elasticity and become weaker. Of course, the effect wasn't instant. But the longer I did gymnastics, the better the results. After almost 2 years of regular exercise, the wrinkles on the forehead disappeared and the nasolabial folds were noticeably smoothed. The lips have become plumper and plumper. The vertical fold in the jaw has straightened out. The tight oval of the face, the skin looks tight, there is no double chin.
Microdermabrasion or mechanical peeling
Mechanical peeling or superficial microdermabrasion perfectly cope with the reduced skin tone on the face and the appearance of expression lines. This procedure is performed in a beauty salon or clinic that specializes in non-surgical rejuvenation methods.
Superficial mechanical peeling refers to gentle rejuvenation procedures as it excludes the effect of the apparatus on the deep subcutaneous layers. Still, there are some contraindications to this method of extending youth.
Among them the most important are:
- tendency to form scars and keloid scars;
- hyperpigmentation;
- increased sensitivity and low pain threshold.
Microdermabrasion shows particularly noticeable results on sagging facial skin, which quickly loses its elasticity.
Owners of oily skin notice that the face is gradually becoming dull and velvety. Over time, the production of sebum will normalize.
For a pronounced rejuvenation effect, the beautician 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 performance of the device. The skin tone is more even. I also noticed that there was less inflammation, more smoothness, the skin felt comfortable, sometimes I didn't want to moisturize at all after a shower, it seemed to breathe, the pores narrowed.
Anti-aging skin care after 40 years
After forty years, the skin loses moisture and fades faster than before. Hormonal changes in the body reduce the amount of collagen, which leads to a loss of strength and elasticity in the epidermis. As a result, wrinkles of expression and age deepen significantly. Moisturizing, uplifting and deep nutrition are what the skin needs after forty years.
Alginate masks in the beauty salon and at home
Plasticizing masks based on algae (alginate) not only rejuvenate the facial skin effectively, but also stimulate regeneration processes in soft tissues and in the surface layer of the epidermis. This treatment ensures intensive skin hydration on all levels and replenishes 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 to 20 sessions that take place two or three times a week.
If the skin is additionally moistened with a saturated serum or a light emulsion before applying the plasticizing mask, the effect of the procedure increases many times over.
I started modeling the face a few months ago with the help of alginate masks. There are still a lot of wrinkles left, rather the outline has tightened which, as you can see, is also important. In general, I was convinced that such procedures have general antiaging effects. 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
A medium chemical peel is considered an extremely effective procedure for lengthening the youthful facial skin. Peeling with fruit acids is essentially a slightly controlled burn of the surface layer of the epidermis, the purpose of which is to start regeneration processes and activate the production of your own collagen.
The following acids are used for peeling:
- milk;
- lemon;
- wine;
- apple;
- glycol.
A medium peeling based on AHA acids refers to gentle skin care procedures. Sometimes, however, a slight reddening of the epidermis, a slight burning and itching, and slight swelling are possible after the session.
The most important contraindications for peeling are distinguished:
- inflammatory process in the body;
- pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- intense tan, accompanied by flakes of skin;
- aggravation of chronic diseases;
- diagnosed diabetes mellitus.
Five or seven sessions are enough to achieve a pronounced rejuvenation effect. The beautician prescribes the frequency individually.
Beauticians recommend performing a chemical peeling with fruit acids only under the supervision of a specialist, as there is a risk of incorrect concentration of the work composition at home.
Fruit acids only affect dead skin cells without affecting healthy ones. This significantly improves the condition of the skin. Within a few weeks, the pigmentation on my face disappeared, the formation of blackheads and blackheads decreased, the wrinkles became almost invisible. I was happy with the result. Procedure - peeling with fruit acids has a long-term rejuvenating effect, the skin is tightened, its color improves and the work of the sebum glands is normalized.
Ozone therapy
Ozone therapy refers to injection techniques for skin rejuvenation. The essence of the procedure is that a dermatologist inject microdoses of ozone, which are bound oxygen molecules, into the patient's dermis.
The oxygen supply to the skin leads to a natural tightening that occurs due to the increased synthesis of collagen and elastin. The lifting effect is usually enough for 6-8 months, during which the skin gives the owner a flawless appearance.
An experienced specialist injects the skin rejuvenating composition selectively, only in the areas where corrective measures are required. Thus, non-surgical facial plastic surgery is performed.
The entire course consists of 10-12 procedures that the dermatologist prescribes for the patient individually. Depending on the reaction of the epidermis, two or three courses can be carried out during the year.
Ozone is an extremely toxic gas, so 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 noticed that the face was changing before our eyes: the skin was smoothed, balanced, rejuvenated, the complexion improved, the pores narrowed, the oval of the face tightened andespecially the scars and spots disappeared !!! By the way, everyone around me noticed my facial changes. After the procedures, my skin "revived", maybe I can tell. The result is a clean face with no visible scars, my little second chin is gone, my skin is fresh, breathable, beautiful without a primer.
Effective cosmetic interventions after 45 years
After 45 years, the epidermis becomes thin and dehydrated, and the wrinkles on the face become deeper. Soft tissues sag more and more, expression lines become even stronger.
Compresses with medicinal oils and salon rejuvenation methods help to successfully combat the further development of age-related changes.
Anti-aging compresses with healing oils
Compresses based on natural oils with a rich composition of unsaturated acids and vitamins can slow down the aging process of the skin.
You can use this treatment at home. All you need is a container for mixing oils and a clean sheet mask. Among the effective anti-aging formulations for oil compresses 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 neroliether;
- 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 ester.
Photo rejuvenation
The principle of photorejuvenation is to remove the stratum corneum from the surface of the epidermis. This effect is achieved through broadband pulsed radiation, from which ultraviolet rays are excluded.
Unfortunately, phototherapy is not able to cope with deep indentations of expression lines in the nasolabial area and on the forehead, but it can significantly "tighten" the skin in other areas. The course of photorejuvenation reduces the intensity of the signs of aging, reduces the sagging and porosity of aging skin.
The most important contraindications for photorejuvenation are:
- diagnosed psoriasis, dermatitis of various causes;
- tan;
- hormonal diseases;
- dark skin (photo type V);
- pathology of the retina;
- pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- bleeding disorders;
- violation of the integrity of the skin.
I have been doing photo rejuvenation every year for 10 years. The pigmentation is gone too. In addition, a skin lifting is observed, fine wrinkles are smoothed, the skin radiates, the pores are narrowed. This procedure is very good for preventing skin aging.
Botulinum toxin injections
Beauticians are the most effective method to remove deep expression lines. In general, botulism neurotoxin is a powerful poison that blocks the transmission of nerve impulses. This relaxes the muscles, which leads to the smoothing of even deeper lines of expression.
Botulinum toxin injections are suitable for use on any area of the face, but in some cases the effects are stronger.
For example, in the para-orbital area (the area around the eyes) and in the area of the eyebrow arches, the neurotoxin has the most consistent anti-aging effect.
Contraindications for this rejuvenation method are:
- pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- tendency to myasthenic reactions;
- hernia on the eyelids;
- inflammatory processes;
- recent operation;
- infectious diseases;
- taking antibiotics;
- high degree of myopia;
- susceptibility to allergic reactions.
Botox lasts up to six months. During this time, the muscles remain relaxed and ensure a flawless and toned appearance.
Botox has a paralyzing, relaxing and smoothing effect on the facial muscles. The procedure is absolutely non-traumatic, the injection mark is barely noticeable. Due to the regular use of Botox (every 6-7 months) I haven't had crow's feet for 7 years. Years go by and wrinkles do not form.
How to preserve the youthfulness and beauty of the skin after 50 years
The fiftieth birthday usually coincides for women 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 skin's scaffolding began to produce in the deeper layers of the skin in a much smaller volume, which leads to the activation of the aging process and deepening of age wrinkles.
At this age, the skin of the face needs support, otherwise gravitational ptosis will cause irreversible prolapse of the soft tissues. Such support can be successfully provided by contour correction using fillers and thread elevation. Home care was not canceled either. The home rejuvenation methods allow you to take care of your facial skin between salon procedures.
Contour correction with fillers
Contour correction implies the introduction into the subcutaneous layers of preparations based on sodium hyaluronate and collagen. In this way you can fill in expression lines and age wrinkles and relieve the face smoothly and evenly again.
Fillers for injection are used both natural and synthetic.
The number of sessions is determined individually by the beautician. The rejuvenation effect achieved lasts quite differently: in some patients it lasts longer than two years, in others the fillers dissolve in six months.
Estheticians say that contouring is the only way to remove deep nasolabial folds. No other drug has such a pronounced effect.
Facial contouring is lifelong. Once you've done it, you don't want to be like you anymore. I have been doing this procedure regularly for 5 years. And I won't stopOnly she can save me from visiting a plastic surgeon. Do not be afraid, there is nothing wrong. Make a decision.
Thread raising
The method of rejuvenation with special threads is extremely effective and durable. It is suitable for patients who cannot afford to see a beautician frequently. The thread lifting effect lasts three to five years.
Threads made of the following materials are used for reinforcement:
- precious metals (gold and platinum);
- Teflon;
- medical polypropylene;
- sodium hyaluronate and zinc oxide liquid gel.
Almost all threads can dissolve and disappear without a trace, cosmeticians call them biodegradable. The only exceptions are threads made of precious metals and Teflon, which absorb over a very long period of time.
Contraindications for lifting with thread reinforcement are:
- diseases associated with circulatory disorders and blood clotting;
- a tendency to allergic reactions, accompanied by dermatitis of various origins;
- pregnancy and breastfeeding.
A particularly pronounced result shows lifting with sutures in patients with severe gravitational ptosis in the lower part of the face and deep failure of the nasolabial folds.
For fifteen years thread lifting has been used successfully as a technique for rejuvenating mature skin. This is a good hands-on basis to claim that a suture facelift is safe and extremely effective.
The result was immediately visible. The skin contracted like a surgical lift. The contour of the face has become clear, the wrinkles have smoothed out. And the face is really rejuvenated. In addition, it was promised that the anti-aging effect should increase. In general, the result of the procedure exceeded all my expectations! Minus a couple of years for sure!
