Facial rejuvenation procedures

Anti-aging procedures are modern cosmetic methods whose action is aimed at correcting skin changes caused by age. 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 the vast majority are characterized by versatility.

Indications for anti-aging procedures

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

• predisposition 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 recommend not to wait for the first negative changes to form on the face, but to constantly maintain the skin tone. Then you can achieve facial rejuvenation even after 60 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.
• Stimulating. They promote the natural recovery of the epidermis, during which collagen-elastin reproduction occurs.
• Supporting. Improves structural skin connections, slows down the formation of wrinkles and folds.
• Corrective. Fill lost tissue volume or perform skin tightening.

Laser fractional rejuvenation

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

The procedure is carried out under the supervision of a beautician, who individually selects the beam's strength, depth and temperature. After the first session, positive changes are noticeable, which are long-term.

Laser Fractional Rejuvenation helps with:

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

The main advantage of laser rejuvenation is the renewal of the dermal layer. During a procedure, around 20% of the tissue is removed, at the same time the process of forming new skin structures is started. Other benefits include:

• Multi-impact. Laser exposure allows you to overcome several skin problems at the same time. Smooth out, for example, wrinkles, tight pores and get rid of pigmentation.
• Versatility. The intervention is performed on all skin types, varying thickness and degree of sensitivity.
• Delicacy. The ability to work with laser on areas with a thin dermal layer: décolleté, eyelids, neck.
• Lack of rehabilitation. Applying makeup is allowed the next 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 area being treated.

However, it is important to consider contraindications:

• epilepsy;
• pregnancy period 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, during which an assessment of the patient's skin is carried out, the presence of contraindications, as well as explanations regarding the effect and available methods of pain relief. After the:

• the skin is prepared for laser exposure by cleansing it, followed by the application of a pain-relieving cream;
• It is performed over the skin surface with a nozzle inside which there is a laser. Depending on the severity, the skin area may be treated several times;
• products that have a soothing effect are applied to the dermis.

In order to achieve the desired result, a course of several procedures is usually required, between which there must be an interval of six months.

Often, the laser leaves minor swelling and redness in the affected area and also causes dryness and peeling, 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 essence of which is the use of injectable preparations based on botulinum toxin type "A". Tension of the facial muscles provokes the appearance of hypertonicity, which leads to the formation of wrinkles, skin folds and asymmetry. Botulinum toxin has a relaxing effect on cramped muscles, resulting in a natural smoothing of the dermal layer.

Botulinum treatment is indicated for:

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

It is important to take into account contraindications:

• inflammation of the skin;
• mental and neurological disorders;
• chronic forms of diseases that are in the acute phase;
• malignant tumor neoplasms;
• less age.

The rejuvenation process is carried out in a lying position and begins with treatment of the facial skin with antiseptic preparations. In case of increased sensitivity in the skin, a local anesthetic is given. Botulinum toxin is then injected into the dermis with an ultra-thin injection needle at a depth of 2-3 mm. The duration of a session takes about half an hour on average. The next one is carried out 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 the injection in an upright position. The treated areas should not be massaged; for 5 days you must avoid visiting the bath house, solarium, sauna, sunbathing and muscle tension.

Bioreinforcement

It is an innovative method of face lifting 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 minor wrinkles and other negative skin changes. Shows particular effectiveness when:

• deep folds and creases;
• decreased skin color, loss of elasticity;
• uneven pale complexion;
• bag-like and blue circles in the area under the eyes;
• extra chin, jaws, ptosis.

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

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

• compatibility of the formulations used, which eliminates the possibility of rejection by the body;
• comfort and absence of pain during the therapy and at its end;
• immediate 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, which leads to the formation of new skin structures.

There are several stages of the procedure:

• Preparation and cleaning of the surface layer of the skin.
• Application of anesthetic gel.
• Injection of a composition with a gel-like structure.
• Uniform distribution of the drug.
• Formation of a biological "frame" from threads.

At the end of the procedure, small marks from the injections are visible, which disappear by themselves after a short time.

It is important to consider contraindications:

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

To enhance the effect, bioreinforcement is recommended to be carried out on courses throughout the year. The result lasts until the drug is completely dissolved.

Microcurrent therapy

It is a rejuvenation procedure under the influence of microcurrent pulses, which results in tightening of the facial contour as well as other positive changes:

• double chin elimination;
• get rid of ptosis;
• smoothes out wrinkles and folds.

Under the influence of current discharges, muscle contraction occurs, which results in the active functioning of the circulatory and lymphatic systems, which stimulate metabolic processes in cells. Cellular structures are enriched with oxygen and water, which leads to their accelerated division. On the other hand, cellular regeneration is the key to effective rejuvenation, which manifests itself in freshness and firmness of the skin.

Microcurrent therapy is performed in several phases:

• Preparation. Requires compliance with the drinking regime throughout the course. On the day of the procedure, it is especially important to drink plenty of plain, still water, which will help cleanse the body of toxins and waste.
• Cleansing. To enhance the rejuvenating effect of microcurrents, you can use enzyme peeling or microdermabrasion. However, it is quite enough to remove makeup and wash off sebum.
• Impact. Electrolytes, which are conductive components for electrical impulses, are applied to 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 treatment, there is no need to use aids.

Among the benefits of microcurrent therapy, the following are worth noting:

• no refund period;
• safety and absence of pain;
• long-term preservation of the effect;
• almost complete absence of contraindications, which include cancer, epilepsy, skin lesions caused by infectious pathogens, the presence of pacemakers and medical implants;
• enhance the effect of other anti-aging techniques;
