Facial rejuvenation procedures

Anti-aging procedures are modern cosmetic procedures aimed at correcting skin changes caused by age. They are mostly hardware or injection focused. The choice of a specific type depends on the individual characteristics of the patient. Age and physiological characteristics, existing indications and 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 of them are characterized by versatility.

Indications for antiaging procedures

Many women start thinking about their first beautician's appointment when the first wrinkles, jowls and wrinkles appear. Other signs that indicate the need to visit a specialist:

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

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

Cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation

Depending on the effect, there are several 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.
• Supportive. It improves the structural relations of the skin, slows down the formation of wrinkles and folds.
• Fixer. Replenish lost tissue volume or perform skin tightening.

Laser fractional rejuvenation

This is a deep treatment of the skin layer exposed to high temperatures. During the procedure, the surface cells of the skin are burned with a laser, affecting the deeper layers of the skin. As a result, the renewal process starts, during which elastin and collagen are synthesized, which are the "building materials" of our epidermis. The effect is manifested in the noticeable tightening of the facial contour, the smoothing of wrinkles and the lifting of the corners of the eyes.

The procedure is performed under the supervision of a beautician, who individually selects the strength, depth and temperature of the beam. After the first session, positive changes can be noticed, which are long-lasting.

Laser fractional rejuvenation helps:

• deterioration of the condition of the skin, with a decrease in its tone and loss of elasticity;
• pigmentation;
• scars and scars;
• acne and its consequences;
• stretch marks;
• wrinkles;
• enlarged pores;
• drooping 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 the formation of new skin structures begins. Additional benefits:

• Multiple effects. Laser exposure makes it possible to combat several skin problems at the same time. For example, smooth out wrinkles, narrow pores and get rid of pigment spots.
• Versatility. The procedure is performed on all skin types, skin of different thicknesses and sensitivities.
• Fineness. It is possible to work with a laser on areas with a thin layer of skin: décolleté, eyelids, neck.
• Lack of rehabilitation. Applying make-up is allowed the day after the procedure.
• Lack of invasiveness. Laser rejuvenation is a gentle way to combat age-related skin changes, as mild local anesthesia is used and the duration of the procedure does not exceed 60 minutes, depending on the area treated.

However, it is important to consider the contraindications:

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

Before starting each procedure, a consultation takes place, during which the patient's skin is assessed, contraindications are assessed, and the effect of pain relief and available methods are explained. Thereafter:

• the skin is prepared for laser exposure by cleaning it and then applying pain-relieving cream;
• It is performed on the skin using a nozzle with a laser inside. Depending on the severity, the skin surface may be treated several times;
• soothing products are applied to the dermis.

In order to achieve the desired result, a course consisting of several procedures is usually required, with a six-month break between them.

It often happens that the laser leaves minor swelling and redness in the affected area, as well as dryness and peeling, which disappear on their own after 2-4 days. In order to speed up healing, it is recommended to apply panthenol-containing cosmetics to the skin and use sunscreen. Use products based on hyaluronic acid for hydration.

Botulinum therapy

This is an effective facial rejuvenation procedure, the essence of which is the use of "A" type botulinum toxin-based injection preparations. The tension of the facial muscles causes the appearance of hypertonia, which leads to the formation of wrinkles, skin folds and asymmetry. Botulinum toxin has a relaxing effect on spasmodic muscles, which results in a natural smoothing of the skin layer.

Botulinum therapy is recommended in the following cases:

• spasmodic facial muscles;
• deep wrinkles;
• hyperhidrosis, which manifests itself in increased sweating of the upper and lower limbs and armpits.

• inflammation of the skin;
• mental and neurological disorders;
• chronic forms of diseases that are in an acute stage;
• malignant neoplasms;
• minor.

In case of increased sensitivity of the skin, local anesthesia is given. Afterwards, botulinum toxin is injected into the dermis with an ultra-thin syringe needle to a depth of 2-3 mm. A session takes about half an hour on average. The next one will be done in 4-6 months.

After the injections, small bumps, called papules, appear on the skin, which disappear on their own within 24 hours. After the injection, it is recommended to spend the first 4 hours in an upright position. The treated areas must not be massaged, you must avoid visiting the bath, solarium, sauna, sunbathing, and muscle tension for 5 days.

Bioreinforcement

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

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

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

The main advantage of biostrengthening is its almost complete non-traumatic nature with the automatic absence of rehabilitation. Additional advantages of the procedure are as follows:

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

• Preparation and cleaning of the surface layer of the skin.
• Application of anesthetic gel.
• Injection introduction of a preparation with a gel-like structure.
• Uniform distribution of the drug.

It is important to consider the contraindications:

• the 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 drug categories.

In order to increase the effect, biofortification must be carried out in courses throughout the year. The result lasts until the drug is completely dissolved.

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

As a result of the current discharges, muscle contraction occurs, which results in the active functioning of the circulation and lymphatic system, which stimulates metabolic processes in the cells. Cell structures are enriched with oxygen and water, which accelerates their division. Cell regeneration, on the other hand, is the key to effective rejuvenation, which manifests itself in the freshness and firmness of the skin.

Microcurrent therapy takes place in several stages:

• Preparation. It requires compliance with the drinking regime during the course. On the day of the procedure, it is especially important to drink plenty of still, non-carbonated water, which helps cleanse the body of toxins and waste products.
• Cleaning. Enzyme peeling or microdermabrasion can be used to enhance the rejuvenating effect of microcurrents. However, it is enough to remove makeup and wash away sebum.
• Effect. Electrolytes, which are the conducting components of 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, in rare cases a slight tingling sensation may occur. At the end of the therapy, there is no need to use auxiliary substances.

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

• no recovery period;
• safety and absence of pain;
• 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;
