Today, you can look visually younger in a couple of weeks. It is enough to go to an aesthetic medicine center or a beauty salon and undergo procedures that will rejuvenate you. Let's find out how to choose the right one.
When can you start?
At what age can you start practicing cosmetic procedures for rejuvenation? It is generally accepted that it makes no sense to do this before the age of 30. But this opinion is wrong.
Cosmetologists say that doing anti-aging procedures at the age of 20-25 is the norm. It allows you to correct the condition of the skin in time, saturate it with the necessary substances, even and maintain the tone. Over time, according to the cosmetologist's recommendations, the anti-aging program will change due to the inclusion of more effective components and schemes.
The earlier you start regular care and corrective procedures that will improve the condition of the skin, the easier it will be to get the desired result later.
20–30 years
From 20 to 30 years, cosmetologists recommend preventive procedures:
- mesotherapy with cocktails containing a low concentration of vitamin complexes;
- superficial peelings - 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 kind;
- home care cosmetics containing antioxidants;
- Mandatory photoprotection - the use of creams with an SPF index.
A good dermis restoration effect can be obtained from the age of 30 after:
- Plasmolifting - the introduction of the patient's autoplasma, purified and saturated with growth factors. To do this, 20-100 ml of the patient's own blood is taken, which goes through the centrifuge processing stage, then the enriched plasma is injected under the skin of the face and neck.
- Thread reinforcement or thread lift: strengthening and tightening of fabric with absorbable "youth preservers" - threads that create a frame. This natural construction maintains the oval of the face, prevents the formation of wrinkles and skin folds.
- Fractional laser photothermolysis - directed exposure to a beam of the finest rays - fractions that cause controlled microdamage. This temperature effect stimulates the natural recovery process - tissue regeneration.
35–40 years
After 35 years, the skin rapidly loses its natural tone, becomes thinner, drier, wrinkles deepen, and the folds around the eyes, nose and mouth turn into static folds.
Depending on the condition of the skin, a dermatocosmetologist may recommend the following cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation:
- Contour: to restore the previous volumes of the skin, its smoothing and compaction, as well as the correction of the nasolabial folds and the nasolacrimal groove.
- Medium chemical peels for the active regeneration of the skin, restoration of a uniform relief and smoothing of fine wrinkles.
- Injections of preparations based on purified botulinum toxin, which smooth wrinkles and especially pronounced furrows on the face.
- Photorejuvenation that accelerates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, improving the appearance of the skin.
45–50 years
At this age, the processes of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid synthesis by the body gradually tend to their minimum expression. Small wrinkles appear on the skin, it becomes finer, 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.
Of the procedures for women over 45 years of age are suitable:
- beauty injections to reduce the depth of wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes;
- thread lifting - for active skin tightening and double chin removal to restore the oval of the face;
- Laser skin rejuvenation: for intensive lifting, smoothing and tightening of the dermis 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 replacement injection therapy and thread lifting.
For women over 50 years old, notched fixing threads demonstrate an excellent effect. They help not only to tighten and strengthen the tissues, but also to hold them securely in the selected position. With the help of such threads, they tighten the chin area, remove double chin, tighten the cheeks, restore the oval of the face.
Top 5 salon procedures in the middle price segment
Rejuvenation programs include injection and hardware techniques.
botulinum therapy
Effective for removing wrinkles on the forehead, the bridge of the nose and "crow's feet" around the eyes. Medications that are injected into the facial muscles of the face block the transmitted nerve impulses. The skin is smoothed. 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 injection depth does not exceed 0. 6mm. Beauty injections are done manually or with the help of injectors - hardware mesotherapy.
The first effect is noticeable after 2-3 procedures, a stable result appears after 4-5, 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 to 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 after injections, characteristic papules, swelling and bruising may appear.
- Laser biorevitalization - when hyaluronate is administered to tissues by laserpheresis. The advantages of this method over injections are a shorter recovery stage 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 headed 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 plastics:
- remove any kind of wrinkles, except for deep folds with the 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 injections is noticeable immediately. The initial evaluation can be given in -2 days after the session, and the final evaluation in approximately one 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, photofractional procedure, RF facelift, and SMAS facelift.
Photorejuvenation is based on the treatment of the skin with pulses of light, ELOS rejuvenation combines light and RF energy. SMAS lifting affects the skin with ultrasound, RF lifting uses radio frequency energy.
The Photofractional procedure is a double sequential treatment of the skin, which includes 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 to repeat treatment, 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.
