Facial rejuvenation procedures

Anti-aging procedures are modern cosmetic methods aimed at correcting skin changes caused by age. Most often they are hardware or injection focused. 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 state of the thermal layer are taken into account. Facial rejuvenation procedures are classified by type, but the majority of them are characterized by flexibility.

Indications for anti-aging procedures

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

• predisposition to early appearance of mimic 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;
• facial swelling.

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

Cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation

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

• Nutritional. They fill the skin with useful substances aimed at improving its condition.
• Stimulating. They promote the natural restoration of the epidermis, during which the reproduction of collagen-elastin takes place.
• Supportive. Improves the structural bonds of the skin, delaying the formation of wrinkles and folds.
• Corrective. Fill in lost tissue volume or perform skin tightening.

Laser fractional rejuvenation

It is a deep treatment of the dermal layer by exposure to high temperatures. The procedure involves using a laser to burn the surface cells of the skin, affecting its deeper layers. As a result, the renewal process is activated, during which elastin and collagen are synthesized, which are the "building material" of our epidermis. The effect is expressed in a noticeable tightening of the contour of the face, 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 strength, depth and temperature of the beam. 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 scars;
• 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 one procedure, about 20% of the tissue is removed, while at the same time the process of formation of new skin structures is started. Other benefits include:

• Multi-impact. Laser exposure allows you to overcome several skin problems at the same time. For example, smooth wrinkles, narrow pores and get rid of pigmentation.
• Versatility. The procedure is performed on any type of skin with different thickness and degree of sensitivity.
• A delicacy. Possibility of working with a laser on areas with a thin dermal layer: neckline, eyelids, neck.
• Lack of rehabilitation. Applying makeup is allowed the day after the procedure.
• Lack of invasiveness. Laser rejuvenation is a gentle method of combating 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 being treated.

However, it is important to consider the contraindications:

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

Before starting each procedure, a consultation is conducted, during which the patient's skin is evaluated, the presence of contraindications, as well as explanations about the effect and available pain relief methods. Then:

• the skin is prepared for laser exposure by cleansing, followed by the application of a numbing cream;
• It is performed on the surface of the skin 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.

To achieve the desired result, a course of several procedures is usually required, between which there should be an interval of six months.

Often, the laser leaves a slight swelling and redness in the affected area, and also causes dryness and scaling, which disappear on their own after 2-4 days. To speed up healing, it is recommended to apply panthenol cosmetics to the skin and use sun protection. For moisturizing, use compositions 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". The tension of the facial muscles provokes the appearance of hypertonus, which leads to the formation of wrinkles, skin folds and asymmetry. Botulinum toxin has a relaxing effect on spasmed muscles, which leads to 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 the armpits.

It is important to consider the contraindications:

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

The rejuvenation process is carried out in a lying position and begins with the treatment of the skin of the face with antiseptic preparations. In case of increased sensitivity of the skin, local anesthesia is applied. Then, using an ultra-thin syringe needle, the botulinum toxin is injected into the dermis at a depth of 2-3 mm. The duration of a session takes about half an hour on average. The next one takes place 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. Treated areas should not be massaged, for 5 days avoid visiting a bath, solarium, sauna, sunbathing and muscle tension.

Bioreinforcement

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

The procedure is indicated for light wrinkles and other negative skin changes. It shows particular effectiveness when:

• deep creases and creases;
• decreased skin tone, loss of elasticity;
• uneven pale complexion;
• bags and blue circles in the area under the eyes;
• extra chin, jowls, ptosis.

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

The main advantage of bioreinforcement is its almost complete non-traumatic nature with 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 lack of pain during 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 subcutaneously 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 introduction of a composition with a gel-like structure.
• Even distribution of the drug.
• Formation of a biological "frame" of threads.

At the end of the procedure, small traces of the injections are visible, 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 phase;
• blood coagulation disorders;
• acute form of viral and infectious diseases;
• treatment available for certain drug categories.

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

Microcurrent therapy

This is a rejuvenation procedure under the influence of microcurrent pulses, leading to a tightening of the contour of the face, as well as other positive changes:

• double chin removal;
• elimination of ptosis;
• smoothing out wrinkles and folds.

Under the influence of current discharges, muscle contraction occurs, which leads to 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. In turn, cell regeneration is the key to effective rejuvenation, which is expressed in freshness and firmness of the skin.

Microcurrent therapy is carried out in several stages:

• 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.
• Cleaning. To enhance the rejuvenating effect of microcurrents, you can use enzyme peeling or microdermabrasion. However, it is quite enough to remove makeup and wash away sebum.
• Impact. Electrolytes, which are conductive components for electrical impulses, are applied to the treated area. Problem areas are treated with special electrodes.

The average duration of the session is 40 minutes. The procedure is completely painless, in rare cases a slight tingling sensation may occur. At the end of the therapy, it is not necessary to use aids.

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

• no recovery 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, presence of pacemakers and medical implants;
• enhancing the effect of other anti-aging techniques;
• accelerated tissue regeneration.

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