Today, you can visually look younger in a few weeks. It is enough to go to an aesthetic medicine center or beauty salon and undergo procedures that will make you look younger. Let's figure 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 pointless to do this before the age of 30. But this opinion is wrong.
Cosmetologists say that performing 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 out and maintain tone. Over time, according to the recommendations of cosmetologists, the anti-aging program will change due to the inclusion of more efficient 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.
20-30 years
From 20 to 30 years, cosmetologists recommend preventive procedures:
- mesotherapy with cocktails containing a low concentration of vitamin complexes;
- surface 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 kind;
- Home care cosmetics with antioxidants;
- mandatory photo protection - use of creams with SPF index.
A good effect of rebuilding the dermis at the age of 30+ can be achieved after:
- Plasmolifting - introduction of the patient's autoplasma, purified and saturated with growth factors. For this, 20-100 ml of the patient's own blood is taken, which goes through the centrifugation phase, and then the enriched plasma is injected under the skin of the face and neck.
- Strengthening threads or lifting threads - strengthening and tightening tissues with absorbent "youth conservators" - threads that create a frame. This natural construction maintains the oval face, prevents the formation of wrinkles and skin folds.
- Fractional laser photothermolysis - directed exposure to the beam of the finest rays - fractions that cause controlled microdamages. 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 wrinkles around the eyes, nose and mouth turn into static wrinkles.
Depending on the condition of the skin, a dermatocosmetologist may recommend the following cosmetic procedures to rejuvenate the face:
- Contouring - restoring the previous volumes of the skin, smoothing and compacting it, as well as correcting nasolabial folds and nasolacrimal furrows.
- Median chemical peeling for active skin regeneration, restoring even relief and smoothing fine wrinkles.
- Injections of preparations based on purified botulinum toxin that smooth out particularly pronounced wrinkles and creases on the face.
- Photorejuvenation, which accelerates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, improves the appearance of the skin.
45-50 years
At this age, the processes of synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the body are gradually reduced to a minimum. Small wrinkles appear on the skin, it becomes thinner, drier, another beard appears. The relief of the face is blurred, the contours are sharper or, conversely, covered with puffiness.
Of the procedures for women 45+ are suitable:
- cosmetic injections to reduce the depth of wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes;
- thread lifting - for active skin tightening and removal of the double chin in order to restore the oval face;
- laser skin rejuvenation - for intensive lifting, smoothing and tightening of the dermis in order to solve the problem of its aging globally.
50-60 years
At this age, instead of procedures that stimulate skin regeneration, it is better to pay attention to replacement injection therapy and tightening of the threads.
For women over 50, incised fixation threads show excellent effect. They not only help to tighten and strengthen the tissues, but also keep them in the chosen position. With the help of such threads, they tighten the chin area, remove the jaws, tighten the cheeks and restore the oval 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, bridge of the nose and "crow's feet" around the eyes. Drugs injected into the facial muscles block the transmitted nerve impulses. The skin is smoothed. The effect lasts about 5-6 months, and then the procedure is repeated.
Mesotherapy
It is about the introduction of individually selected cocktails based on hyaluronate, organic acids, various vitamin complexes and plant extracts. 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 visible after 2-3 procedures, a stable result appears after 4-5, but the course is continued until 8-10 procedures to consolidate the effect.
Positive changes after a course of mesotherapy last about six months. They can be extended with repeated mesotherapy or maintenance procedures, 1-2 sessions per month.
Biorevitalization
This procedure helps to remove skin imperfections by saturating the deep layers with hyaluronate. Done with:
- The classic method is multiple subcutaneous injections using syringes or hardware nozzles. The method is characterized by the fastest and most pronounced effect, but after injections, characteristic papules appear, swelling and hematomas can appear.
- Laser biorevitalization - when hyaluronate is delivered to tissues by laserpheresis. The advantages of this method in relation to injections are a shortened recovery phase and a minimum of contraindications. But the efficiency is much lower. If 1-2 injections are needed in the classic version, then it is necessary to go through 5-8 procedures with the laser technique.
Contour plastic
The ranking list of the best anti-aging procedures is led by the injection technique for removing wrinkles and correcting facial contours. The essence of this technique is filling the subcutaneous cavities with gel preparations called "fillers".
With the help of contour plastic:
- eliminate all types of wrinkles, except deep wrinkles while destroying the skin structure;
- enlarge the lips and correct their shape;
- eliminate facial asymmetry;
- form the missing volume of a certain area of the face - cheeks, chin, cheekbones and others.
The result after the injections is immediately visible. The initial assessment can be given in -2 days after the session, and the final one 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 procedures are photorejuvenation, ELOS rejuvenation, photofractionation procedure, RF lifting and SMAS lifting.
Photorejuvenation is based on the treatment of skin with light pulses, ELOS rejuvenation combines light and RF energy. SMAS lifting affects the skin with ultrasound, RF lifting uses radio frequency energy.
Photofractional procedure is a double sequential treatment of the skin, which includes first phototherapy with IPL light, and then, after anesthesia, Fraxel fractional laser treatment. Photopulses brighten the skin, removing pigmentation, and a fractional laser stimulates the synthesis of collagen fibers that have been exposed to UV rays.
Cosmetic rejuvenation procedures differ for different age categories of patients: intensity of exposure, number of sessions and the need for repeated treatment, drug concentration and other factors. It is best to choose the most effective one from an experienced dermatocosmetologist after a thorough examination of the skin condition.
