Facial rejuvenation procedures

Anti-aging procedures are modern cosmetic methods, the action of which is aimed at correcting skin changes caused by age. Mostly they focus on hardware or injection. The choice of a specific type is based on the individual characteristics of the patient. Age and physiological characteristics, existing indications, contraindications, as well as the state of the thermal layer are taken into account. Facial rejuvenation procedures are classified by type, but the vast majority are characterized by versatility.

Indications for anti-aging procedures

Many women begin to think about their first consultation with a cosmetologist when the first wrinkles, jowls and creases appear on their skin. Other signs that indicate the need to consult a specialist are:

• predisposition to the early appearance of facial wrinkles;
• pale skin color;
• uneven complexion, regardless of rest and rhythm of life;
• persistent dry skin, accompanied by peeling and irritation;
• wide dark circles under the eyes;
• swelling of the face.

Doctors recommend not waiting for the first negative changes to form on the face, but to constantly maintain skin tone. This way, you can achieve facial rejuvenation even after the age of 60 and avoid serious problems at an older age.

Cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation

Depending on the effect, there are several types of facial rejuvenation procedures:

• Nutritious. They fill the skin with useful substances aimed at improving its condition.
• Stimulating. They promote the natural restoration of the epidermis, during which collagen-elastin reproduction occurs.
• Supporter. Improves the skin's structural connections, delaying the formation of wrinkles and creases.
• Liquid Paper. Fill in lost tissue volume or perform skin tightening.

Fractional laser rejuvenation

It is a deep treatment of the dermal layer, exposing it to high temperatures. The procedure involves using a laser to burn the superficial cells of the skin, affecting its deeper layers. This activates the renewal process, during which elastin and collagen are synthesized, which are the "building materials" of our epidermis. The effect is expressed in a notable tightening of the facial contour, smoothing wrinkles and lifting the corners of the eyes.

The procedure is carried out under the supervision of a cosmetologist, who individually selects the strength, depth and temperature of the beam. After the first session, positive changes are noticeable, which are long-term.

Fractional laser rejuvenation helps with:

• deterioration in the condition of the skin, accompanied by a decrease in tone and loss of elasticity;
• pigmentation;
• scars and scars;
• acne and its consequences;
• stretch marks;
• wrinkles;
• enlarged pores;
• droopy eyelids.

The main advantage of laser rejuvenation is the renewal of the dermal layer. During a procedure, around 20% of the tissue is removed, at the same time that the process of formation of new skin structures begins. Other benefits include:

• Multi-impact. Laser exposure allows you to overcome several skin problems at the same time. For example, smooth wrinkles, tighten pores and eliminate pigmentation.
• Versatility. The procedure is performed on all skin types, varying thickness and degree of sensitivity.
• Delicacy. Ability to work with a laser on areas with a thin dermal layer: décolleté, eyelids, neck.
• Lack of rehabilitation. Makeup application is permitted the day after the procedure.
• Lack of invasiveness. Laser rejuvenation is a gentle method of combating age-related skin changes, as light local anesthesia is used and the duration of the procedure does not exceed 60 minutes, depending on the area to be treated.

However, it is important to consider contraindications:

• epilepsy;
• period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• psoriasis;
• atopic dermatitis and other allergic skin manifestations in the acute phase;
• very dry skin surface;
• the presence of wounds and inflammation in the affected area.

Before starting each procedure, a consultation is carried out, during which an assessment of the patient's skin is made, the presence of contraindications, as well as explanations about the effect and methods available for pain relief. After that:

• the skin is prepared for laser exposure by cleansing and applying an analgesic cream;
• It is carried out on the surface of the skin using a nozzle, inside which there is a laser. Depending on the severity, the area of skin may be treated several times;
• products with a calming effect are applied to the dermis.

To achieve the desired result, a course of several procedures is usually required, between which there should be a six-month break.

Often, the laser leaves a small swelling and redness in the affected area and also causes dryness and peeling, which disappears on its own after 2 to 4 days. To speed up healing, it is recommended to apply cosmetics with panthenol to the skin and use sun protection. To hydrate, use formulations based on hyaluronic acid.

Botulinum therapy

This is an effective facial rejuvenation procedure, the essence of which is the use of injectable preparations based on botulinum toxin type "A". The tension of the facial muscles causes the appearance of hypertonicity, which leads to the formation of wrinkles, skin creases and asymmetry. Botulinum toxin has a relaxing effect on spasmodic muscles, resulting in a natural softening of the dermal layer.

Botulinum therapy is indicated for:

• spasmodic facial muscles;
• deep wrinkles;
• hyperhidrosis, manifested by increased sweating in the upper and lower extremities, as well as in the armpits.

It is important to take into account contraindications:

• mental and neurological disorders;
• chronic forms of diseases that are in an acute phase;
• malignant tumor neoplasms;
• younger age.

The rejuvenation process is carried out in a supine position and begins with treating the skin of the face with antiseptics. In case of increased skin sensitivity, local anesthesia is administered. After that, using an ultra-fine syringe needle, botulinum toxin is injected into the dermis to a depth of 2-3 mm. A session lasts on average about half an hour. The next one is carried out after 4-6 months.

After the injections, small bumps called papules appear on the skin, which disappear spontaneously within 24 hours. It is recommended to spend the first 4 hours after injections in an upright position. The treated areas should not be massaged, for 5 days avoid going to the bathhouse, solarium, sauna, sunbathing and muscle tension.

Bioreinforcement

It is an innovative method of facial lifting without surgical intervention, the essence of which is the introduction of a stabilized hyaluronic acid preparation under the skin layer, which has a biostimulating effect.

The procedure is recommended for small wrinkles and other negative skin changes. It shows particular effectiveness when:

• deep folds and creases;
• decrease in skin tone, loss of elasticity;
• pale, uneven complexion;
• blue, bag-like circles in the under-eye area;
• extra chin, double chin, ptosis.

Stabilized hyaluronic acid promotes natural tissue regeneration, stimulating the production of collagen-elastin, which strengthens the facial contour.

The main advantage of bioreinforcement is its almost completely atraumatic nature, with an automatic lack of rehabilitation. Other advantages of the procedure include:

• compatibility of the formulations used, which eliminates the possibility of rejection by the body;
• comfort and absence of pain during and at the end of therapy;
• instant effect;

• Preparation and cleaning of the superficial layer of the skin.
• Application of anesthetic gel.
• Introduction by injection of a composition with a gel-like structure.
• Uniform distribution of the drug.
• Formation of a biological "structure" from threads.

At the end of the procedure, small marks from the injections are visible, which disappear on their own after a short time.

It is important to consider contraindications:

• period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• autoimmune pathologies in the acute phase;
• blood clotting disorders;
• acute form of viral and infectious diseases;
• treatment available for certain categories of medicines.

To enhance the effect, it is recommended to carry out bioreinforcement in courses throughout the year. The result lasts until the medicine is completely dissolved.

• elimination of double chin;
• get rid of ptosis;
• smoothing wrinkles and creases.

Under the influence of current discharges, muscle contraction occurs, resulting in the active functioning of the circulatory and lymphatic systems, which stimulate metabolic processes in cells. Cellular structures are enriched with oxygen and water, which leads to their accelerated division. In turn, cell regeneration is the key to effective rejuvenation, which manifests itself in the freshness and firmness of the skin.

Microcurrent therapy is carried out in several stages:

• Preparation. Requires compliance with the drinking regime throughout the course. On the day of the procedure, it is especially important to drink plenty of still water, which will help cleanse the body of toxins and waste.
• Cleaning. To enhance the rejuvenating effect of microcurrents, enzymatic peeling or microdermabrasion can be used. However, just remove your makeup and wash off the sebum.
• Impact. Electrolytes, which are components that conduct electrical impulses, are applied to the treated area. Problem areas are treated with special electrodes.

The average session time is 40 minutes. The procedure is completely painless and, in rare cases, slight tingling may occur. At the end of therapy there is no need to use auxiliaries.

Among the advantages of microcurrent therapy, it is worth highlighting:

• no recovery period;
• safety and absence of pain;
• long-term preservation of the effect;
• almost total absence of contraindications, which include cancer, epilepsy, skin lesions caused by infectious pathogens, presence of pacemakers and medical implants;
