Massage will help you stay young. Ideally, this should be done by an experienced beautician, but self-massage is not excluded.
Plastic massage is an effective technique. Provides several types of impact - kneading, stroking, vibration. The procedure begins with surface effects, then moves on to deep kneading.
Basic tricks:
- Stroking. Light stroking movements are performed in the direction of the lines of least stretching (massage lines).
- Kneading is superficial. It is done with four fingers (except the thumb), a movement is performed that resembles drawing a spiral with small turns.
- Deep kneading. It is performed with all five fingers and the palm, and the pressure should be more intense.
- tapping. It is done with the fingertips on all massage lines.
- Vibration. It is performed with the lower part of the palm, the movement is directed from the middle of the sternum along the clavicle to the ear and further to the temple.
Before the session, the face is powdered with sterile talc - this is necessary to prevent the fingers from slipping on the skin.
Another technique is a complex massage with tablespoons. For the procedure you need to prepare two containers filled with hot and cold water, a few spoons, cosmetic oil.
The blow is made from the convex part of the spoon. Techniques for stroking, rubbing, light tapping are used. It is advisable to use silver spoons, but you can also take ordinary ones. Warm oil is applied to the skin before the session. The effect is done sequentially with a cold and warm spoon, and the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
An effective way to rejuvenate the face without injections and operations is gymnastics for the facial muscles. Learning how to exercise at home is not difficult, the main thing is that the classes are regular.
There are different sets of exercises. Here is one of them (do each movement 10 times):
- Take a breath in your mouth and distill it in a circle from one cheek to the other, as if you were rolling a ball. First clockwise, then counterclockwise.
- Press the corners of your lips firmly with your fingers. Pull your lips forward, as if you want to kiss someone, overcoming the resistance of your fingers.
- Press the outer corners of the eyes with your fingers (with closed eyelids). Open your eyes as wide as possible by raising your eyebrows slightly. Hold this position for 5 seconds, then lower your eyelids and relax your muscles.
- Place three fingers on the area between the eyebrows, press hard. Try to raise your eyebrows, frown, overcoming the resistance of your fingers.
- Open your mouth and try to pull your lips inward, as if hiding them behind your teeth. This movement raises the chin.

When you exercise, you may feel a burning sensation in your skin. This is normal because the muscles work and tighten.
Salons offer different ways to rejuvenate after 55 without surgery. These are both traditional methods (massage, masks) and new methods (introduction of fillers, hardware exposure).
The essence of the technique for rejuvenating the face and neck without surgery is to perform skin piercing and the introduction of synthetic fibers that create a reinforcing frame. The effect of the procedural field lasts 3-4 years.
Thread lifting is recommended for sagging cheeks, the formation of a second chin, changes in the contour of the face, the appearance of wrinkles.
Polymeric materials, silicone, various acids, platinum, gold are used for the production of threads. The diameter of the strands does not exceed the thickness of a human hair. After the introduction of the thread is not felt and not seen by others.
The essence of this procedure is the exposure of the skin to pulsed light. Radiation is a quantum flux that is delivered by bursts. The wavelength used is 400-1400 nm. The effect of the procedure does not appear immediately, but 6-8 weeks after the end of the course. During this period, the collagen frame and skin structure are strengthened, the face is tightened and fine wrinkles are smoothed.
Light energy heats tissues and destroys photosensitive substances. Thus:
- age spots disappear, complexion improves;
- the turgor rises;
- the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin is enhanced.
The technique is not suitable for removing all age-related changes. Other procedures should be used to remove deep wrinkles and improve facial contours.
Laser resurfacing is a procedure that can stop aging. The conclusion is the impact on the epidermis with a laser. The top layer of cells evaporates, which stimulates regeneration processes.
Grinding is one of the types of peeling. But the effect is on the deep layers, compared to acid peels. Only a master who has a certificate can perform the procedure.
This is a hardware procedure based on infrared exposure to the deep layers of the skin. It is performed with the help of a device that emits radio wave energy.
The energy flow heats the deep layers of the skin to the temperature of thickening. As a result, stretched collagen fibers tighten, providing a tightening effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, and other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
Injection procedure, the essence of which is the introduction of special "cocktails" under the skin. Preparations include hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids.
With the introduction of mesococktails the following changes occur:
- age spots disappear;
- improves complexion;
- dryness is eliminated, wrinkles are smoothed;
- the relief is leveled.
The drugs are administered with very thin needles. Many microtraumas are created, which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin and improve the microcirculation of the blood.
When planning rejuvenation without surgery, many women choose injection procedures. Various preparations for injection into the skin are used in cosmetology:
- hyaluronic acid in combination with peptides;
- botulinum toxin;
- calcium collagen hydroxyapatite.
Selected drugs are administered by injection. Very thin injection needles are used.
Rejuvenation of the face and neck is carried out by introducing special oxygen-ozone cocktails. After the procedure the face acquires a fresh look, wrinkles disappear, traces of acne. The technique stimulates collagen production.
A home alternative to ozone therapy is to treat the person with hydrogen peroxide. However, external exposure is less effective than the injection technique.
Effective rejuvenation of the face after 60 years without surgery is possible with the help of the technique of fractional laser exposure. In terms of efficiency, the procedure can be compared to the use of stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
It is necessary to perform the procedure in a cosmetic clinic that has the appropriate certificates. The use of the laser by a layman can lead to burns and other adverse effects.
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method for rejuvenating the face without surgery, which has many advantages:
- lack of severe pain;
- noticeable effect even after one procedure;
- no negative side effects;
- short period of rehabilitation.
An important advantage is the affordable price (8-10 thousand rubles) with pronounced efficiency. The procedure solves several cosmetic problems at once - smoothes wrinkles, tightens, removes acne scars.
It is recommended to use fractional laser exposure in the presence of the following cosmetic defects:
- wrinkles, including deep;
- sagging skin, loss of a clear oval face;
- scars, scars, spider veins;
- enlarged pores, acne;
- dark spots.
But there are contraindications. They must be taken into account, because at the age of fifty not everyone has iron health. Laser rejuvenation is prohibited in the following circumstances:
- large inflamed areas on the face;
- skin infections;
- psoriasis, eczema;
- malignant neoplasms of any location;
- heart disease;
- epilepsy;
- immune deficiency;
- neurological disorders;
- serious allergic diseases.
The patient should warn the cosmetologist about the presence of any chronic diseases. Based on this, the specialist decides which technique can be used.
The technique consists of applying a laser beam to the deep layers of the skin. Because the beam splits into very small beams, the effect is only on certain microzones, the remaining tissues remain intact. In the affected areas, the cells "burn", which stimulates the process of regeneration, synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women aged 50+ are advised to use a non-ablative exposure method. Its difference is that the deep layers of the dermis are involved in the process. This allows even deep wrinkles to be smoothed.
In the first week after exposure, the skin will be inflamed. It can be noted:
- during the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- in the first 1-2 days - redness;
- every 2-3 days - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be particularly sensitive to sunlight, so you should apply a protective cream before going out.
After the peeling stops, ie after about a week, the effect of the procedure will become noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin is taut, the face looks fresh. But to achieve a clear result, you need to take a course of sessions. Their number is determined individually.
Assistance in choosing the appropriate method of rejuvenation will be provided by a professional cosmetologist.
After 50 years it will not be possible to achieve a good effect when using:
- light fruit peels;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These treatments are good for young women over the age of 30. After fifty and even more sixty years, techniques are needed that give a pronounced lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.
Reviews of facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive opinions, but there are those who do not like the procedure.
First review
With age, wrinkles and pronounced age spots appeared. My face rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated, so I decided to use non-surgical techniques. The beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am satisfied with the procedure, I passed without severe pain and bruises. Already on the 6th day the face looked decent, although it was pinker than usual. I can say that there is a result - the eyelids tightened, the wrinkles became smaller, the small pigment spots disappeared, but the big ones just turned pale. I will repeat the process later.
Second review
I'm afraid to do plastic surgery, so I took very good care of my skin. But after 50 the face "fell", there were cheeks, a second chin, a network of wrinkles. I chose fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it was very painful for me, tears flowed from my eyes, I had a hard time withstanding this execution. In the morning I got up andI scared myself in the mirror - a face like a beaten homeless woman. Somehow she survived for 3 days, then she recovered. But she really could "go out to people" only after 2 weeks. The wrinkles of my eyes disappeared, the oval became clearer, the nasolabial folds became less deep. The effect is not bad, but the second time I will not dare to endure this pain even for the sake of beauty.
