Today you can look visually younger in a few weeks. All you have to do is go to an aesthetic medicine center or a beauty salon and undergo procedures that will make you look younger. Let's find 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 view is wrong.
Cosmetologists say that anti-aging procedures at the age of 20-25 are the norm. Allows you to correct the condition of the skin in time, to saturate it with the necessary substances, to even out 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;
- surface peels - ultrasonic, gaseous, 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 - the use of creams with SPF index.
A good effect of restoring the dermis at the age of 30+ can be obtained after:
- Plasmolifting - the introduction of autoplasma of the patient, purified and saturated with growth factors. For this purpose, 20-100 ml of the patient's own blood is taken, which goes through the stage of centrifugal treatment, after which the enriched plasma is injected under the skin of the face and neck.
- Strengthening of threads or lifting of threads - strengthening and tightening of tissues with absorbable "youth conservatives" - 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 - targeted exposure to the finest beam - fractions that cause controlled microdamages. This temperature effect stimulates the natural process of recovery - tissue regeneration.
35-40 years
After 35 years, the skin quickly loses its natural tone, becomes thinner, drier, wrinkles deepen, and the folds around the eyes, nose and mouth become static folds.
Depending on the condition of the skin, the dermatocosmetologist may recommend the following cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation:
- Contouring - to restore the previous volumes of the skin, its smoothing and thickening, as well as correction of the nasolabial folds and nasolacrimal furrow.
- Medium chemical peeling for active skin regeneration, restoration of even relief and smoothing of fine wrinkles.
- Injections of preparations based on purified botulinum toxin, which smooth out particularly pronounced wrinkles and creases on the face.
- Photorejuvenation, which accelerates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, improving the appearance of the skin.
45-50 years
At this age, the processes of synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid from the body are gradually reduced to a minimum. Small wrinkles appear on the skin, it becomes thinner, drier, a second chin appears. The relief of the face is blurred, the contours look sharper or, conversely, are covered with puffiness.
Of the procedures for women 45+ are suitable:
- beauty injections to reduce the depth of wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes;
- thread lifting - to actively tighten the skin and remove 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 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 therapy and suture lifting.
For women over 50, serrated fixing threads show an excellent effect. They help not only to tighten and strengthen the tissues, but also securely hold in the selected position. With the help of such threads, they tighten the chin area, remove the jaws, tighten the cheeks and 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 in the forehead, bridge of the nose and "crow's feet" around the eyes. Drugs 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, after which the procedure is repeated.
Mesotherapy
This is 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 noticed after 2-3 procedures, a stable result appears after 4-5, but the course lasts up to 8-10 procedures to consolidate the effect.
Positive changes after a course of mesotherapy last about six months. They can be extended by 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 a syringe or hardware nozzles. The method has the fastest and most pronounced effect, but after injections characteristic papules appear, swelling and hematomas may appear.
- Laser biorevitalization - when hyaluronate is delivered to the tissues using laserpheresis. The advantages of this method over injections are a shortened stage of recovery and a minimum of contraindications. But the efficiency is much lower. If in the classic version 1-2 injections are needed, 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 for removing wrinkles and correcting facial contours. The essence of this technique is the filling of subcutaneous cavities with gel preparations called "fillers".
With the help of contour plastic:
- removal of all types of wrinkles, except for deep wrinkles with destruction of the skin structure;
- lip augmentation and shape correction;
- removal of facial asymmetry;
- form the missing volume of a certain area of the face - cheeks, chin, cheekbones and others.
The result after the injections is noticeable immediately. The initial assessment can be given up to -2 days after the session, and the final assessment after 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 facial treatments are photorejuvenation, ELOS rejuvenation, photofractionation procedure, RF lifting and SMAS lifting.
Photorejuvenation is based on treating the skin with light pulses, 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, including first phototherapy with IPL light, and then, after anesthesia, fractional laser treatment with Fraxel. Photoepulses illuminate the skin, removing pigmentation, and the fractional laser stimulates the synthesis of collagen fibers that have been exposed to UV rays.
Cosmetic rejuvenation procedures differ for different age groups of patients: the intensity of exposure, the number of sessions and the need for re-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.
