Plastic massage is an effective technique. It provides different types of influences - kneading, stroking, vibrating. The procedure begins with superficial effects, then moves on to deep kneading.

The salons offer various ways of rejuvenation after 55 without surgery. These are traditional methods (massage, masks), and new methods (introduction of fillers, hardware exposure).
The essence of the technique of face and neck rejuvenation without surgery is to make skin punctures and introduce synthetic threads that create a reinforced frame. The effect of the procedural field lasts 3-4 years.
Raising with threads is recommended for sagging cheeks, formation of the second chin, changes in the contour of the face, the appearance of wrinkles.
To manufacture yarns are used polymeric materials, silicone, various acids, platinum, gold. The diameter of the strands does not exceed the thickness of human hair. After the introduction of the thread is not felt and not visible to others.
The essence of this procedure is to expose the skin to radiant light. Radiation is a quantum flux that provides explosions. The wavelength used is 400-1400 nm. The effect of the procedure is not immediately apparent, only 6-8 weeks after completion of the course. During this period, the collagen frame and skin structure are strengthened, the face is tightened, and fine wrinkles are cleared.
Light energy heats tissues and destroys photo-sensitive substances. So:
- age spots disappear, complex improves;
- turgor increases;
- the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin is enhanced.
The technique is not suitable for getting rid of all age-related changes. Other procedures should be used to eliminate deep wrinkles and improve facial contours.
Laser resurfacing is a procedure that can stop aging. The bottom line is the impact on the epidermis with a laser. The top layer of cells is evaporated, which stimulates regenerative processes.
Grinding is one of the types of peeling. But the effect is complete on the deep layers, compared to acid peeling. The procedure can only be performed by a certified master.
This is a hardware procedure based on infrared exposure to the deep layer of the skin. It is done using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The flow of energy heats the deep layers of the skin to the condensing temperature. As a result, the stretched collagen fibers are intensified, providing an inflated effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenation of human skin, neck, decollete, as well as other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
Injection procedure, the most important of which is the introduction of special "cocktails" under the skin. The preparations include hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids.
With the introduction of mesococktails, the following changes occur:
- age spots disappear;
- improves complexion;
- dryness is eliminated, wrinkles are cleared;
- there is level relief.
Drugs are administered with very thin needles. Many microtraumas are formed, which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin and improve blood microcirculation.
When planning a rejuvenation without surgery, many women opt for injection procedures. In cosmetology, various preparations are used for injection into the skin:
- hyaluronic acid in combination with peptides;
- botulinum toxin;
- calcium hydroxyapatite collagen.
Selected drugs are administered by injection. Very thin injection needles are used.
The face and neck are rejuvenated by the introduction of special oxygen-ozone cocktails. After the procedure, the face gets a fresh look, wrinkles, acne marks disappear. The technique stimulates collagen production.
Another home option for ozone therapy is human treatment with hydrogen peroxide. However, external exposure is not as effective as the injection technique.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible using the technique of fractional laser exposure. In terms of efficiency, the procedure can be compared to the use of stem cells, but fractional laser resurfacing is safer and more affordable.
The procedure must be performed in a suitably certified cosmetology clinic. Non-specific use of the laser can lead to burns and other harmful effects.
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of non-surgical facial rejuvenation, which has many advantages:
- lack of severe pain;
- significant effect even after a single procedure;
- no negative side effects;
- short rehabilitation period.
Affordable price (8-10 thousand rubles) is an important advantage with pronunciation efficiency. The procedure solves several cosmetic problems at once - smoothes wrinkles, tightens, eliminates post-acne scars.
It is recommended to use fractional laser exposure in the presence of the following cosmetic defects:
- wrinkles, including deep ones;
- sagging skin, loss of clear oval face;
- scars, scars, spider veins;
- enlarged pores, acne;
- dark spots.
But there are also contraindications. They must be taken into account, because at the age of fifty, not everyone has iron health. Laser renewal is prohibited under such circumstances:
- large inflamed areas on the face;
- skin infections;
- psoriasis, eczema;
- malignant neoplasms of any localization;
- heart disease;
- epilepsy;
- state of immunodeficiency;
- neurological disorders;
- serious allergic diseases.
The patient should warn the cosmetologist about the presence of any chronic diseases. On this basis the specialist decides which technique can be used.
The technique is the effect of a laser beam on the deep layer of the skin. Because the beam is divided into many small beams, the effect is only on certain micros, the rest of the tissues remain intact. In the affected areas, the cells are "burned", which stimulates the regeneration process, collagen and elastin synthesis.
Women over the age of 50 are advised to use a non-ablative exposure method. The difference is that the deep layers of the dermis are involved in the process. This even allows deep wrinkles to be smoothed out.
During the first week after exposure, the skin will become inflamed. It is possible to note:
- in the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- in the first 1-2 days - redness;
- on day 2-3 - peeling, lasting 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be especially sensitive to sunlight, so you need to apply a protective cream before going outside.
After the peeling has stopped, that is, after about a week, the effect of the procedure will be noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin is tighter, the face looks fresh. But to achieve a significant result, you need to take a session course. Their number is determined individually.
A professional cosmetologist will provide assistance in choosing the appropriate method of rejuvenation.
After 50 years, it will not be possible to achieve a good effect using:
- light fruit skin;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These treatments are good for young women 30+. After fifty years and more than sixty years, techniques that give a clear lifting effect and smooth wrinkles are needed.
Reviews of facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive comments, but there are also people who did not like the procedure.
First review
With age, pronounced wrinkles and age spots appeared. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use non-surgical techniques. The beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am happy with the procedure, I did without severe pain and bruising. Already on the 6th day, the face looked good, though it was more rosy than usual. I can say that result - the eyelids tightened, wrinkles became smaller, small pigment spots disappeared, but the big ones just turned pale. I will repeat the process later.
Second review
I am scared to do plastic surgery, so I took care of my skin very carefully. But after 50, the face "fell", cheeks, second chin, had a network of wrinkles. I chose a fractional laser refresh. What can I say, it was painful for me, tears rolling from my eyes, I could barely bear this death. In the morning I woke up and was scared to myself in the mirror - a face like a beaten homeless woman. Somehow it lasted 3 days, then got better. But she could only "go out to people" after 2 weeks. My eye wrinkles disappeared, the oval became clearer, the nasolabial folds became less deep. The effect is not bad, but the second time I will not dare to endure the pain even for the sake of beauty.
