Let's dwell on the most popular salon methods of rejuvenation.
When to use non-surgical rejuvenation methods
The skin of the face, as well as in the area of the neck and décolleté, requires special attention and professional care in case of:
- dull, grayish skin color;
- age pigmentation;
- sagging, reduced elasticity of the skin;
- facial and static wrinkles;
- missing the corners of the eyelids, eyebrows, lips (gravitational ptosis);
- fatty deposits in the area of the cheeks;
- double chin;
- paint bags and nasolacrimal ducts;
- dark circles under the eyes.
The most effective anti-aging methods or a complex of anti-aging procedures will help you choose a beautician. The specialist prescribes both single anti-aging procedures and courses of 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 injectable procedures include, in particular:
- biorevitalization and mesotherapy- injections with hyaluronic acid and mesococktails, which can improve the condition of the skin of the face and slow down the aging process in the tissues of the dermis. The method is also in demand among young girls and men;
- botulinum therapyaimed at rejuvenation, smoothing facial wrinkles due to 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, and then maintain a rejuvenating effect due to the start of the natural process of collagen and elastin production;
- lipolytic injections- splitting of fat cells in the area of the cheeks, cheekbones, chin.
With significant signs of aging, anti-agingthread lifting– bioreinforcement with resorbable threads on the lower third of the face. Another popular type of injection methods for rejuvenation isplasmolifting(Platelet Rich Plasma), the introduction into the layers of the skin of the plasma of a person's own blood, enriched with platelets.
Facial rejuvenation procedures
Modern hardware cosmetology allows not only to remove the first signs of aging, but also to rejuvenate the skin for ten years. Depending on the specific problem and the depth of skin aging, the cosmetologist may recommend the following anti-aging procedures:
- photo and laser rejuvenation, in which the anti-aging effect is achieved thanks to the heating of the dermal layer with light rays and the activation of the skin's natural regeneration processes. Photorejuvenation, which is recommended for women and men aged 25-45, has a fairly mild rejuvenating effect and is aimed at correcting certain aesthetic flaws: wrinkles, age spots, post-acne. Laser resurfacing (fractional lifting) is more aggressive and is recommended for severe signs of aging for the 40+ category;
- non-injection biorevitalization or mesotherapy. Hyaluronic biorevitalizers and mesotherapeutic cocktails are used to perform antiaging manipulations. The penetration of useful components into the skin is carried out using laser exposure;
- SMAS lifting. The revolutionary anti-aging technique deserves special attention. The essence of the non-invasive SMAS-lifting procedure is the focused impact of ultrasound on the musculo-aponeurotic system located under the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous fatty tissue. The process of rejuvenation, renewal of tissues takes place 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 and eyebrows are lifted. The rejuvenation procedure is one-time, it takes place once a year;
- RF lifting- a rejuvenating technique based on the impact of high-frequency currents on the dermis and hypodermis. The skin rejuvenation effect occurs due to tissue heating and stimulation of the production of own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid;
- cryolifting- cold skin rejuvenation procedure. In this case, treatment of the facial skin with a special probe tip cooled to -15 ° C acts as a stimulator of active regeneration processes, slowing down aging.
The hardware methods of rejuvenation that cosmetologists include in complex anti-aging programs also include basic procedures -ultrasonic cleaning and laser carbon peeling.
Aesthetic cosmetology for facial rejuvenation
Along with apparatus and injection methods, cosmetology also uses simpler but no less effective procedures for facial skin rejuvenation. These include in particular:
- chemical peeling;
- skin care programs for rejuvenation using a series of professional cosmetic products according to skin type;
- massages.
Acid-based peeling- Quite popular anti-aging procedures, which are particularly effective at the first signs of facial skin aging. The method works by exfoliating the upper stratum corneum of the skin and injuring the living tissues of the epidermis. The deeper layers of the skin are not affected. Microburning of the skin leads to an increase in the growth of collagen and elastin fibers and an acceleration of the tissue renewal process. Medium peels are used to correct age-related changes. Deep rejuvenating peeling involves the use of a highly toxic agent and is performed only in specialized clinics and only once in a lifetime.
For face lifting and rejuvenation in beauty salons, varioustypes of massages:
- manual classics;
- corugi;
- myofascial;
- sculptural;
- buccal;
- Spanish chiromassage.
Rejuvenating facial massages vary in technique. In general, their essence consists in the normalization of metabolic processes, the elimination of puffiness and the stimulation of cell regeneration.
Complexes of rejuvenating procedures for the skin of the face using cosmetic products include cleansing, peeling, application of fluids and anti-aging serums.
Selection of antiaging nonsurgical procedures by type of aging
Cosmetologists distinguish 4 types of facial skin aging, according to which they choose care and rejuvenating corrective procedures.
- Fine wrinkled type of aging. In this type, the face is covered with a network of wrinkles, age spots, the contours of the face do not change. Chemical peeling, mesotherapy procedures are prescribed to combat age changes. Photorejuvenation and botulinum toxin injection are very effective.
- Gravitational type of aging. A characteristic feature is the deformation of the oval of the face (presence of a second chin, jaws). There are also nasolabial folds, omission of the eyelids. The most effective methods of rejuvenation are massages, radio wave lifting, SMAS lifting, lipolytic injections.
- Tired type of aging. In people with this type, age-related changes are manifested in an unhealthy complexion, the formation of bags under the eyes and nasolacrimal furrows, slight ptosis of the eyebrows, eyelids and corners of the lips. Fillers, peelings, apparatus lifting techniques are used as effective means of rejuvenation.
- Muscle type aging. Signs of skin aging in this case are "crow's feet" around the eyes, hyperpigmentation, fine wrinkles around the mouth, pronounced relaxation of the tissues and the absence of deformations of the oval of the face. In the case of muscular aging, peels, botulinum toxin and phototherapy are recommended for skin rejuvenation.
The type of aging is not the only, albeit important, criterion when choosing 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.
