Facial rejuvenation procedures

Anti-aging procedures are modern cosmetic methods, whose action is aimed at correcting age-related skin changes. Mostly they have a hardware or injection focus. 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 condition of the thermal layer are taken into account. Facial rejuvenation procedures are classified by type, but most are characterized by flexibility.

Indications for anti-aging procedures

Many women start thinking about their first appointment with a cosmetologist when the first wrinkles, jowls, and skin creases appear. Other signs that indicate the need to visit a specialist are:

• tendency 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;
• baggy circles under the eyes;
• swelling of the face.

Doctors advise not to wait for the first negative changes to form on the face, but to always maintain a skin tone. Then you can achieve facial rejuvenation even after 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.
• Exciting. They promote the natural restoration of the epidermis, during which collagen-elastin reproduction occurs.
• supportive. Improves the structural connections of the skin, slowing down the formation of wrinkles and creases.
• Corrections. Fill in lost tissue or perform skin tightening.

Fractional laser rejuvenation

It is a deep treatment of the dermal layer by exposing it to high temperature. The procedure involves using a laser to burn the surface cells of the skin, affecting its deeper layers. As a result, the renewal process is activated, in which elastin and collagen are synthesized, which are the "building materials" of our epidermis. The effect is expressed in a significant tightening of the facial contour, smoothing wrinkles and lifting the corners of the eyes.

The procedure is performed under the supervision of a cosmetologist, who individually chooses the strength, depth and temperature of the beam. After the first session, positive changes are observed, which are long-lasting.

Fractional laser rejuvenation helps to:

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

The main benefit of laser resurfacing is to rejuvenate the dermal layer. During one procedure, approximately 20% of the tissue is removed, at the same time the process of formation of new skin structure begins. Other benefits include:

• Multi-influence. Laser exposure allows you to overcome several skin problems at once. For example, remove wrinkles, tighten pores and get rid of pigmentation.
• Flexibility. The procedure is performed on all types of skin, varying in thickness and level of sensitivity.
• Delicacy. The ability to work with laser on areas with a thin dermal layer: décolleté, eyelids, neck.
• Lack of rehabilitation. Makeup is allowed to be applied the next day after the procedure.
• Lack of invasion. Laser rejuvenation is a gentle method to combat age-related skin changes, since light local anesthesia is used, and the duration of the procedure does not exceed 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

However, it is important to consider contraindications:

• epilepsy;
• 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 the start of each procedure, a consultation is carried out, in which the patient's skin is assessed, the presence of contraindications, as well as explanations regarding the effect and methods of pain relief available. After that:

• the skin is prepared for laser exposure by cleaning it, followed by the application of an analgesic cream;
• It is done over the surface of the skin with a nozzle, which has a laser inside. Depending on the severity, the skin area may be treated several times;
• products with a soothing effect are applied to the dermis.

To achieve the desired result, a course of several procedures is usually required, and they should have an interval of six months.

Often, the laser leaves minor swelling and redness in the affected area, and also causes dryness and flaking, which disappear on their own after 2-4 days. To speed up healing, it is recommended to apply cosmetics with panthenol to the skin and use sun protection. To moisturize, use formulations based on hyaluronic acid.

Botulinum therapy

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

Botulinum therapy is indicated for:

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

It is important to consider contraindications:

• inflammation of the skin;
• mental and neurological disorders;
• chronic forms of disease in the acute phase;
• malignant tumor neoplasms;
• minor age

The rejuvenation process is carried out in a supine position and begins with the treatment of the facial skin with antiseptic preparations. In case of increased sensitivity of the skin, local anesthesia is given. After this, using an ultra-thin syringe needle, botulinum toxin is injected into the dermis to a depth of 2-3 mm. One session takes about half an hour on average. The next one is done after 4-6 months.

After the injections, small bumps called papules appear on the skin, which disappear on their own 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 visiting the bath house, solarium, sauna, sunbathing and muscle tension.

Bio-reinforcement

Face lifting is an innovative method 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 indicated for small wrinkles and other negative skin changes. Shows particular effectiveness when:

• deep folds and creases;
• reduced skin tone, loss of elasticity;
• uneven pale complexion;
• blue circles and bags in the under-eye area;
• Extra chin, jowls, ptosis.

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

The main advantage of bioreinforcement is its almost completely non-traumatic nature with a lack of automatic rehabilitation. Other benefits of the procedure include:

• the 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;
• volume effect;
• minimal risk of complications.

Hyaluronic acid does not cause allergic reactions and is completely compatible with tissues. The drug is administered under the skin according to a special scheme, resulting in the formation of new skin structures.

There are several steps to the procedure:

• Preparation and cleaning of the surface layer of the skin.
• Application of anesthetic gel.
• Injection to introduce a composition of a gel-like structure.
• Uniform distribution of the drug.
• Formation of a biological "framework" 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:

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

To improve the effect, it is recommended to carry out bio-boosting in courses throughout the year. The result lasts until the drug is completely dissolved.

Microcurrent therapy

It is a rejuvenating procedure under the influence of microcurrent pulses, which tightens the facial contour, as well as other positive changes:

• eliminate double chin;
• getting rid of ptosis;
• smoothing out wrinkles and creases.

Under the influence of current discharges, muscle contraction occurs, resulting in the active functioning of the circulatory and lymphatic systems, which stimulates metabolic processes in the cells. Cellular structures are enriched with oxygen and water, which causes their division to be accelerated. After that, cellular regeneration is the key to effective renewal, which shows the freshness and firmness of the skin.

Microcurrent therapy is carried out in several steps:

• Preparation. Compliance with the drinking regime is required during the course. On the day of the procedure, it is especially important that you still drink plenty of clean water, which will help to cleanse the body of toxins and waste.
• Cleaning. To enhance the rejuvenating effect of microcurrent, you can use enzyme peeling or microdermabrasion. However, it is quite enough to remove makeup and wash off sebum.
• Influence. Electrolytes, which are conductive components for electrical impulses, are placed on the treated area. Problem areas are treated using special electrodes.

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

Among the advantages of microcurrent therapy, it is worth noting the following:

• no recovery period;
• safety and painlessness;
• long-term preservation of the effect;
• almost complete absence of contraindications, including cancer, epilepsy, skin lesions caused by infectious pathogens, the presence of pacemakers and medical implants;
• improve the effect of other anti-aging techniques;
• accelerated tissue regeneration.

To obtain a lasting result, one course of 10-12 sessions of microcurrent therapy is recommended. The first positive changes are noticeable after 3-4 sessions.

RF face lift

Another name is radiolifting. It is a unique skin rejuvenation procedure, which is an alternative even to plastic surgery. The firmness of the skin is ensured by collagen fibers, which stretch with age and lead to sagging. Radio-lifting uses bipolar radio waves that stimulate fiber contraction. The positive effect is noticeable after the first session.
