Facial rejuvenation procedures: what to choose

types of procedures for rejuvenation

Cosmetology helps prolong youth. And there are many procedures for facial rejuvenation, the main thing is to choose the right one. . .

Effective procedures allow you to choose your own approach for any skin type and solve problems of any complexity. The only drawback is sometimes the high cost of some techniques.

Age-related processes, by which hyperpigmentation occurs, wrinkles and folds appear, elasticity and elasticity of the skin is lost, are associated with the loss of collagen and elastin fibers, which occur naturally in the body. It happens that the reason for the insufficient synthesis of these components is an improper diet, smoking, alcohol abuse, the wrong choice of cosmetics or a lack of rest and physical activity.

However, whatever the reason, modern cosmetology can offer solutions. The techniques are usually designed specifically to activate natural processes that cause a gradual renewal of the skin. This means your natural rejuvenation. The facial rejuvenation procedure to choose is generally decided based on several factors:

  1. budget,
  2. indications and degree of age-related changes,
  3. personal preference.

Note! It has a negative effect on the skin and the environment, so don't forget to wear protective gear! This will help maintain youth for longer.

Young skin without surgery

To keep your face young without plastic surgery, you must remember a set of measures that significantly slow down the aging process:

  • Properly selected home care, including cosmetics suitable for skin type, natural remedies and regularity;
  • Beauty restoration injection methods;
  • Using hardware techniques;
  • Facial rejuvenation thread.

The essence of this complex is simple: at-home care and supportive care help to provide the skin with proper hydration and nutrition and a timely cleansing. This is what the skin needs to maintain its elasticity for longer.

Injection techniques make it possible to compensate for the lack of hyaluronic acid and other useful substances, as a result of which the synthesis of collagen fibers is activated. Some methods involve the use of Botox, which soothes the muscles in the face, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines.

Hardware cosmetology involves the use of equipment that affects the deep layers of the skin using ultrasound, light rays, lasers, high frequency electrical pulses, electromagnetic waves, or radio frequencies. The result of this effect is the cleansing of the skin of keratinized cells, the activation of the natural processes of collagen synthesis and the elimination of defects.

Thread lifting aims to repair skin that has lost its elasticity. Injected drugs gradually dissolve, but during this time they significantly rejuvenate the body.

Hardware Rejuvenation

Modern cosmetology equipment allows you to select individual recovery programs for each patient. The renewal of the skin is usually painless and without negative consequences. However, the use of the equipment is associated with a number of contraindications, with which you need to familiarize yourself in advance.

In any case, a visit to a highly qualified cosmetologist usually does not pass without a thorough examination, allowing you to chart the correct course of therapy.

Ultrasound Capabilities

Ultrasound waves penetrate the deep layers of the skin, affecting only certain types of tissue and not affecting what it should not be. So, to ensure the renewal of the facial skin, the old collagen fibers are heated with ultrasound. Such an impact leads to their destruction and, consequently, to the regeneration and release of new ones. At the same time, the quality and texture of the skin are significantly improved, the muscles become more elastic, and fat deposits, for example the double chin, are removed.

Ultrasound also makes liposuction easier by breaking down fatty tissue for later removal.

After the application of the ultrasonic lift, the rehabilitation period is minimal and the effect can last for a long period without renewal. The downside to this technique is the significant cost.

Laser techniques

Exposure to the laser allows to work both the upper and deep layers of the skin. In the process of exposure to a directed beam of light, keratinized cells and dead skin particles are removed, its structure and relief are restored, and foci of scar tissue and scars are destroyed.

After the procedure, the changes are immediately noticeable, after a while the effect becomes more noticeable. The areas of collagen fibers heated by the laser are replaced by new ones, causing a tightening effect.

Most laser procedures are painless and safe, although they are not without contraindications. It also improves the blood supply to the skin. The laser allows you to even out skin tone and remove hyperpigmentation.

With all the advantages of this method, its cost is not the cheapest either. A more accessible technique for facial rejuvenation is the use of a fractional laser. There are several exposure options, some involving an almost instantaneous effect. Others need to wait a little longer to get the result. The advantages of using a fractional laser are in the elimination of acne, rosacea, scar tissue, in addition, enlarged pores and sagging skin disappear.

Thermage: exposure to electromagnetic waves

This hardware technique also allows working with deep layers of the skin, causing the activation of regeneration processes in them. As a result, the number of collagen fibers increases and the cells are renewed. Allergic reactions are absent. At a cost, this technique is more cost effective than a laser or ultrasound.

Photorejuvenation

Similar to lasers, photorejuvenation also involves exposure to light rays, however it is much cheaper. The positive aspects of this technique are:

  • Rosacea elimination;
  • Work to reduce acne;
  • Reduce the number of fine lines;
  • Effective removal of hyperpigmentation, freckles, moles;
  • Ability to remove permanent makeup.

This method does not allow working with deep wrinkles.

Injection methods

Injections allow you to nourish the skin with essential substances and provide it with a natural rejuvenation. There are several methods and the cosmetologist selects the type that will be most effective for each patient.

Mesotherapy

The method available to almost all patients involves the introduction of certified preparations based on natural ingredients:

  1. hyaluronic acid,
  2. fibroblasts,
  3. vitamin complex
  4. collagen and elastin,
  5. pyruvic acid,
  6. connective tissue cells,
  7. glycolic acid.

With the help of preparations, the oval of the face is smoothed, tightened and provides an ideal contour of individual parts of the body.

Botox

Botox injections aim to reduce excessively mobile facial expressions that lead to the formation of facial wrinkles. Today, this is one of the most effective and affordable techniques that many women turn to.

Hyaluronic acid gels

Using gels is not very expensive either. It allows you to effectively increase the volume of the lips, correct the contours of the face, it has almost no contraindications.

Note! The use of gels implies that after the administration of the drug, some muscles will have to remain at rest.

Ozone Rise

Ozone injections have a wonderful effect on facial skin, this rejuvenating procedure allows you to restore skin tone, improve blood circulation and smooth wrinkles.

This method cleanses the skin of dead cells and restores its firmness.

Plasma therapy

It involves injections into the skin, based on the patient's own blood plasma. Plasma is enriched with fibroblasts or platelets. Whichever method is chosen, the result will not take long to arrive:

  1. new collagen is synthesized,
  2. wrinkles disappear,
  3. improves complexion,
  4. skin turgor returns
  5. Laxity and flaccidity are eliminated.

Thread lift

First of all, it must be said that this type of lifting can be with the use of absorbable threads or with the use of those that do not absorb naturally. When the threads are inserted, there will be no injuries, no visible traces will remain. The effect is a noticeable tightening of sagging skin and restoration of facial contours.

Absorbable threads cause the appearance of a natural collagen skeleton, which exists without correction for a long time. Nonabsorbable, usually gold or other materials, remain on the skin.

Note! Similar techniques include facial rejuvenation procedures such as reinforcement, biorevitalization, and three-dimensional modeling. In essence, they are reduced to the same process as thread lifting, but differ in the preparations. The ideal option should be selected taking into account individual characteristics.

Elos Rejuvenation

The technique is based on the use of high frequency light and current pulses. It does not cause painful symptoms and is safe for health. As a result, natural regeneration is triggered, so that the skin becomes soft and elastic. However, this cannot be accomplished in one go. The Elos methodology involves the use of a multi-session course. The number is specified as directed by a particular patient, but generally at least five sessions are required.

Salon scrubs

Another way to get the face back is to peel. In addition to previous laser or ultrasound wave peels, other methods are also used:

  1. mechanical without hardware,
  2. chemist,
  3. fruity,
  4. diamond.

In the first case, the skin is prepared beforehand and then cleaned by mechanical action. Fruit and chemical peels involve cleansing the skin with acids.

Massages

Using massage techniques, you can also restore the tone, ensure the youth and beauty of the skin. There are many massage techniques, some involve the use of equipment. More effective:

  1. lymphatic drainage (removes swelling),
  2. chiromassage and Japanese massage,
  3. using silver spoons,
  4. cryomassage with liquid nitrogen,
  5. darsonval using additional equipment.

The cost of the treatments is very different, but still within reasonable limits.

Cryotherapy

These types of techniques must be distinguished separately, since they are based on the use of liquid nitrogen. In this case, the impact can be carried out manually, using a high-frequency current or using a special spray.

The cost of the procedures is high, but the efficiency is quite impressive. However, many fear resorting to this type of cosmetic procedure, as there are rumors about side effects. In practice, negative results are seen very rarely.

  1. sagging skin and fine lines
  2. deeper nasolabial folds,
