Facial rejuvenation procedures.

Anti-aging procedures are modern cosmetic methods whose action is aimed at correcting skin changes caused by age. They mostly have a hardware or injection approach. 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 vast majority are characterized by their versatility.

Indications for anti-aging procedures.

Many women start thinking about their first appointment with a cosmetologist when the first wrinkles, double chin 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 pace 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 skin tone. Then you will be able to achieve facial rejuvenation even after the age of 60 and avoid serious problems at an older age.

Cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation.

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

• Nutritious. They fill the skin with useful substances aimed at improving its condition.
• Stimulating. They contribute to the natural restoration of the epidermis, during which collagen-elastin reproduction occurs.
• Support. Improves the structural connections of the skin, slowing the formation of wrinkles and folds.
• Corrective. Fill in lost tissue volume or perform a skin lift.

Fractional laser resurfacing

It is a deep treatment of the dermal layer by exposing it to high temperatures. The procedure involves the use of a laser to burn the superficial skin 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 notable tightening of the facial contour, smoothing wrinkles and lifting 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 noticed, which are long-term.

Fractional laser resurfacing helps with:

• deterioration of the condition of the skin, 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 a procedure, approximately 20% of the tissue is removed and at the same time the process of forming new skin structures begins. Other benefits include:

• Multi-impact. Laser exposure makes it possible to overcome several skin problems at the same time. For example, it smoothes wrinkles, tightens pores and eliminates pigmentation.
• Versatility. The procedure is performed on all types of skin, varying thickness and degree of sensitivity.
• Delicacy. Possibility of working with laser in 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 to combat age-related skin changes, since a light local anesthesia is used and the duration of the procedure does not exceed 60 minutes, which depends on the area to be treated.

However, it is important to consider contraindications:

• epilepsy;
• pregnancy and lactation period;
• 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 the patient's skin, the presence of contraindications, as well as explanations about the effect and available methods of pain relief are evaluated. After:

• The skin is prepared for laser exposure by cleaning it and then applying a pain-relieving 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 are applied that have a calming effect on 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.

The laser often leaves slight swelling and redness in the affected area, and also causes dryness and peeling, which disappear on its own within 2 to 4 days. To accelerate 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". The tension of the facial muscles causes the appearance of hypertonicity, which leads to the formation of wrinkles, skin folds and asymmetry. Botulinum toxin has a relaxing effect on spasmed muscles, resulting in a natural smoothing of the dermal layer.

Botulinum therapy is indicated for:

• spasmodic facial muscles;
• deep wrinkles;
• hyperhidrosis, which is manifested by increased sweating of the upper and lower extremities, as well as the armpits.

• mental and neurological disorders;
• chronic forms of diseases that are in the acute stage;
• malignant tumor neoplasms;
• younger age.

The rejuvenation process is carried out in a supine position and begins with the treatment of facial skin with antiseptic preparations. In case of increased skin sensitivity, local anesthesia is administered. After this, using an ultra-fine syringe needle, botulinum toxin is injected into the dermis to a depth of 2-3 mm. The average duration of a session is approximately half an hour. The next one is done 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 injections in an upright position. The treated areas should not be massaged, for 5 days avoid visiting baths, 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 under the skin layer of a stabilized preparation of hyaluronic acid, which has a biostimulating effect.

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

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

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

The main advantage of bioreinforcement is its almost completely atraumatic nature with an automatic lack of rehabilitation. Other advantages of the procedure include:

• compatibility of the formulations used, which eliminates the possibility of rejection by the body;
• comfort and absence of pain during and at the end of therapy;
• instant effect;

At the end of the procedure, small marks from the injections are seen that disappear on their own after a short time.

It is important to consider contraindications:

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

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

• removal of double chin;
• get rid of ptosis;
• smoothing 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. Cell structures are enriched with oxygen and water, which leads to their accelerated division. In turn, cell regeneration is the key to effective rejuvenation, which manifests itself in freshness and firmness of the skin.

Microcurrent therapy is carried out in several stages:

• Preparation. Requires compliance with the drinking regimen throughout the course. On the day of the procedure, it is especially important to drink plenty of 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 enough to remove makeup and eliminate sebum.
• Impact. Electrolytes, which are components that conduct 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, slight tingling may occur. At the end of therapy it is not necessary to use auxiliary agents.

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

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