Methods for correcting facial wrinkles

Botulinum toxin injections are considered the gold standard in the correction of facial wrinkles. The drug is able to interfere with the transmission of nerve impulses to muscle fibers, which allows them to relax over a long period of time.

The tactics of botulinum therapy are determined by the type of facial activity of a person. Thus, the most pronounced and prolonged result will be achieved in hypokinetics. The effect of the procedure will last for a year. Normokinetics will also receive a pronounced result from botulinum therapy, but not as long-lasting (6-9 months). In the case of hyperkinetics, botulinum toxin injections will be ineffective, since reinnervation of blocked facial muscles will occur within 3 months. For this reason, and also because with such activity of the facial muscles, complete smoothing of the skin relief will not occur, it is recommended to supplement botulinum therapy with contour plastic surgery with hyaluronic fillers. This combination anti-aging therapy allows you to get a more pronounced result of rejuvenation by filling the skin crease with filler, and also prolong the effect of botulinum toxin. To prepare for the correction of facial wrinkles, it is recommended: • 3 days before the procedure, avoid taking antibiotics and medications that prevent blood clotting; • give up alcoholic beverages and smoking one day before; • on the day of the procedure, exclude sports activities and heavy physical labor. To combat expression wrinkles, the Evolution clinic widely uses contour plastic surgery, laser rejuvenation and various types of lifting. Contour plastic surgery helps to get rid of facial wrinkles using injections of drugs based on hyaluronic acid.

Laser rejuvenation allows you to remove superficial and moderately expressed expression wrinkles. The most advanced “cold” Picosure laser available in our clinic makes the procedure guaranteed to be effective and absolutely safe. Ultrasonic SMAS facial lifting using the Doublo device, by heating the deep layers of the dermis, acts directly on the muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS), which is fundamentally important for the formation of the facial contour, the condition and functioning of the surface layer of the skin. The procedure eliminates ptosis, sagging and sagging skin, making the skin young and toned.

RF face lifting using the 3 MAX device gives excellent results in the fight against wrinkles due to the deep penetration of radio frequency waves. Using radio wave radiation, controlled heating of the inner layers of the skin occurs, thereby achieving a sustainable lifting effect and, as a result, smoothing out wrinkles. Plasmolifting brings success without side effects or allergic reactions. This is because the magical transformation occurs with the help of plasma isolated from your own blood. That is, they will take some blood from your vein. Then the plasma will be obtained in a centrifuge. Next, our experienced and qualified specialist will inject the plasma under the skin using microinjections. It is extremely rich in platelets, which contain growth hormones that accelerate skin cell renewal. The result is an even complexion, elimination of wrinkles and improved skin quality.

Normokinetic (a person cannot always control his facial expressions, but can completely relax his facial muscles if desired. At rest, there are no facial wrinkles); 2. Hypokinetic (a person has good control over the activity of the facial muscles and wrinkles only when he wants to. At rest, his facial wrinkles are completely smoothed out); 3. The hyperkinetic type does not allow its owner to relax his face. In such a person it is constantly tense, so facial wrinkles soon turn into deep static furrows).

How to apply cream on the neck?

Most people consider facial care a necessary procedure. Everyone does this daily ritual. Unfortunately, many people forget about the neck.

A well-groomed, fresh face and a flabby, wrinkled neck are a common phenomenon among women. Don't make these mistakes.

A few simple rules will help you avoid an unpleasant situation:

Cleanse your neck with lotion or milk. Choose products that do not dry out the epidermis.
After applying the nourishing composition to your face, spend a few minutes on your neck.
The nutrient is distributed in the neck area, starting from the middle and moving to the side surfaces from bottom to top.
The back of the neck is treated in a similar way. Many women simply don’t think about this. The skin on the back of the neck is less susceptible to sagging and wrinkles. But it is necessary to pamper it with nutrients.
From the ears along the shoulder line, the composition is applied from top to bottom.
The movements are light, stroking.
Also blot off excess composition with a napkin.
Never wipe your neck with alcohol lotions without further applying a nourishing composition. Dried, tight skin will quickly become covered with wrinkles.

Duration of the procedure

The duration of one session is 10-15 minutes. It is advisable to perform at least 10 procedures sequentially. If the massage is performed correctly along the massage lines, the result will be healthy, toned, ruddy skin.

After the full course, your facial skin should be given a rest period of more than two months. During the massage course, it is not recommended to drink alcohol, smoke, or eat salty or very fatty foods. Otherwise, the vessels will narrow, blood circulation will deteriorate, and the face will swell.

After each massage session, you need to remove any remaining oil with a napkin or cotton pad. You can additionally apply a mask or nourishing cream to dry skin.

Common Mistakes

It is recommended to avoid the following when using the cream:

applying a large amount of cream - the skin will not absorb more than it can, but the product can clog pores and give an unsightly shine;
using the composition on dirty skin - if you forget about cleansing and toning, the product will not have an effect, but will contribute to the formation of acne and comedones;
wrong choice of cream - an unsuitable product for a certain skin type will aggravate existing problems and add new ones;
violation of technique - failure to follow massage lines leads to stretching of the skin and destruction of its own collagen;
incorrect movements - if you rub the skin, squeeze it again, it will lose its elasticity and firmness.

Skin toning

Tonic is a translucent or transparent liquid that contains active ingredients to further moisturize the skin. You should not neglect its use, because it is a kind of conductor between the cream and your skin, allowing the active ingredients of the cream to work better and more efficiently.

After washing, sometimes there is a feeling of tightness and dryness - the toner will help restore the pH balance of the skin, soothe and additionally moisturize it. You can apply the tonic in several ways: with a cotton pad, a non-woven cloth, spray it on your face from a dispenser and leave until completely absorbed.

By choosing the right toner for your skin type and using it every time before applying a cream, you will increase the benefits of any product, since your skin will be well able to accept the active substances contained in them. This is the final stage of the facial care procedure both morning and evening. For normal skin condition, two types of cream are sufficient - day and evening, appropriate for your age. In addition to them, you can use light serums - their rich compositions effectively nourish the skin.
