Facial rejuvenation procedures

Anti-aging procedures are modern cosmetic methods, whose action is aimed at correcting skin changes caused by age. Basically they have a hardware or injection focus. The choice of a certain 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 the vast majority are characterized by versatility.

Tips for anti-aging procedures

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

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

Doctors advise not to wait for the first negative changes to appear on the face, but to maintain the skin tone. Then you can achieve face rejuvenation even after 60 years and avoid serious problems in old age.

Cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation

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

• Nourishing. They fill the skin with useful substances aimed at improving its condition.
• Stimulant. They promote the natural regeneration of the epidermis, during which collagen-elastin reproduction takes place.
• Supporting. Improves structural skin connections, slows down the formation of wrinkles and folds.
• corrective. Fill in lost tissue volume or tighten skin.

Laser fractional rejuvenation

It is a deep treatment of the skin layer by exposure to high temperatures. The procedure involves using a laser to burn the surface cells of the skin, affecting the deeper layers of the skin. As a result, the renewal process is activated, during which elastin and collagen, the "building materials" of the epidermis, are synthesized. The effect is expressed by a noticeable narrowing of the face contour, smoothing of wrinkles and lifting of the corners of the eyes.

The procedure is performed under the supervision of a cosmetologist who individually selects the power, depth and temperature of the beam. Long-term positive changes are noticeable after the first session.

Laser fractional rejuvenation helps to:

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

The main advantage of laser rejuvenation is the renewal of the skin layer. During one procedure, about 20% of the tissue is removed, and at the same time, the process of forming new skin structures begins. Other benefits include:

• Very effective. Laser exposure allows you to eliminate several skin problems at the same time. For example, smooth wrinkles, tighten pores and get rid of pigmentation.
• Versatility. The procedure is performed on all skin types with different thickness and degree of sensitivity.
• Elegance. The ability to work with laser in areas with a thin layer of skin: decollete, eyelids, neck.
• Lack of rehabilitation. It is allowed to apply makeup 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, which depends on the treated area.

However, it is important to consider contraindications:

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

Before starting each procedure, an assessment of the patient's skin, the presence of contraindications, as well as the effect and available methods of pain relief are explained. After that:

• the skin is cleaned and prepared for laser exposure, then an analgesic cream is applied;
• It is performed with a nozzle with a laser on the surface of the skin. Depending on the severity, the skin area can be treated several times;
• products that have a soothing effect on the dermis are applied.

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

Often, the laser leaves a small swelling and redness in the affected area, as well as dryness and crusting, 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 protect from the sun. Use hyaluronic acid-based formulas to hydrate.

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 provokes the appearance of hypertonicity, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles, skin folds 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 of the upper and lower extremities, as well as armpits.

It is important to consider the contraindications:

• inflammation of the skin;
• mental and neurological disorders;
• chronic forms of diseases in the acute stage;
• malignant tumor neoplasms;
• younger age.

The rejuvenation process is carried out lying down and begins by treating the facial skin with antiseptic preparations. In case of increased sensitivity of the skin, local anesthesia is given. After that, 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. It is carried out after the next 4-6 months.

After the injections, small blisters called papules form on the skin and disappear on their own within 24 hours. It is recommended to spend the first 4 hours after the injections in an upright position. Treated areas should not be massaged, avoid baths, solariums, saunas, sunbathing and muscle tension for 5 days.

Biofortification

This is an innovative method of face lifting without surgical intervention, the essence of which is the injection 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. It shows special effectiveness in the following cases:

• deep folds and wrinkles;
• decrease in skin tone, loss of elasticity;
• uneven pale skin;
• bag-like and blue circles under the eyes;
• extra chin, eyebrows, ptosis.

Stabilized hyaluronic acid promotes the natural regeneration of tissues by stimulating the production of collagen-elastin, which strengthens the contour of the face.

The main advantage of bioreinformation is its almost completely non-traumatic nature with the absence of automatic rehabilitation. Other advantages of the procedure include:

• compatibility of the formulas used, which eliminates the possibility of rejection by the body;
• lack of comfort and pain during and at the end of therapy;
• immediate effect;
• minimal risk of complications.

Hyaluronic acid does not cause allergic reactions and is perfectly compatible with tissues. The drug is applied under the skin according to a special scheme that causes the formation of new skin structures.

The procedure has several stages:

• Preparation and cleaning of the surface layer of the skin.
• Application of anesthetic gel.
• Injection application of the composition of a gel-like structure.
• Uniform distribution of the drug.
• The formation of a biological "framework" from threads.

At the end of the procedure, small marks from the needles appear, which disappear by themselves after a short time.

It is important to consider the contraindications:

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

To increase the effect, it is recommended to conduct bioreinformation courses throughout the year. The result lasts until the drug is completely dissolved.

Microcurrent therapy

This is a rejuvenation procedure that results in the narrowing of the facial contour under the influence of microcurrent pulses, as well as other positive changes:

• elimination of double chin;
• getting rid of ptosis;
• smoothing wrinkles and folds.

Under the influence of current discharges, muscle contraction occurs, as a result of which the blood circulation and lymphatic systems are active, stimulating metabolic processes in cells. Cell structures are enriched with oxygen and water, which causes them to divide rapidly. 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. It requires adherence to the drinking regime throughout the course. It is especially important to drink plenty of still water on the day of the procedure to help flush the body of toxins and waste.
• Cleaning. To increase the rejuvenating effect of microcurrents, you can use enzyme peeling or microdermabrasion. However, removing makeup and washing sebum is enough.
• Impact. Electrolytes, which are conductive components for electrical impulses, are applied to the treated area. Problem areas are treated using special electrodes.

Average session duration is 40 minutes. The procedure is completely painless, rarely there may be slight tingling. There is no need to use auxiliary means at the end of the therapy.

Among the advantages of microcurrent therapy, the following should be noted:

• no recovery period;
• safety and absence of pain;
• long-term maintenance of the effect;
• almost complete absence of contraindications such as cancer, epilepsy, skin lesions caused by infectious pathogens, the presence of pacemakers and medical implants;
• enhance the effect of other antiaging methods;
• accelerated tissue regeneration.

A course of microcurrent therapy consisting of 10-12 sessions is recommended to achieve a lasting result. The first positive changes are noticeable after 3-4 sessions.
