“My years are my wealth,” says the famous song. Surely many women would gladly erase traces of this “wealth” from their faces. Let wisdom remain in the eyes and manifest itself in speech and actions. Outwardly, everyone would like to look 10–15 years younger.

It is impossible to turn back time, and there is no point in doing so. You can prolong your appearance of youth thanks to the achievements of modern cosmetology. The sooner girls start thinking about it, the longer the result will last. Among the variety of techniques, we will focus on those that are united by the term “non-surgical facelift”.

Features of aging facial skin

None of us can escape aging. Although this is a natural process, awareness of this fact does not make it pleasant. It seems like just recently we admired our bright blush and delicate, soft, elastic skin in front of the mirror. And now she is dull, pale and covered with wrinkles.

Girls begin to notice age-related changes from the age of 25 (if heredity is not very good, then earlier). Why is this happening?

Cells renew themselves more slowly, so the stratum corneum of the skin becomes thicker.
The collagen and elastin fibers that support the framework of our skin change. They become thin, rough, stretch, and perform their function much worse than before.
Gaps form in the protective hydrolipidic layer. Because of this, natural moisture in the skin is retained worse.
Substances (collagen, hyaluronic acid, lipids), which are extremely necessary for the skin, are produced more slowly, but are quickly consumed.
The protective functions of the skin become weaker. In this regard, it is more difficult for her to deal with the aggressive influence of the external environment.

Internal violations accumulate, over time they come out and become obvious. They are expressed by the following characteristics:

dullness of the skin;
loss of smoothness and elasticity;
the appearance of the first wrinkles (day by day there are more of them, they become deeper);
formation of dark circles and bags under the eyes;
changing the oval of the face;
the appearance of a double chin.

Botox injections

These injections smooth out the facial muscles, making the face look younger and fresher. Botox is great at fighting expression lines.

The drug is based on botulinum toxin and blocks nerve impulses going to the facial muscles. The injections will not interfere with facial expressions or distort them.

No anesthesia is required - the needle is so thin that it does not cause discomfort.

Avoid alcohol before your session. Doctors believe that due to drinking alcohol, swelling and bruising may occur after Botox injection. If you have been prescribed antibiotics or blood thinners, do not visit a cosmetologist and wait until the end of the course of treatment.

Botox injections are not suitable for everyone.

Contraindications:

high sensitivity to botulinum toxin;
pregnancy and breastfeeding;
high degree of myopia;
taking strong medications;
myasthenia gravis;
infections.

Do not touch the injection sites. For quick recovery, avoid physical activity for 2-3 days. In the first days, it is not advisable to even bend over. Get all recommendations from a cosmetologist.

Main causes of aging

Who or what is to blame for such changes?

Sun rays . Ultraviolet radiation destroys the skin's protective barrier, causing burns, pigmentation and wrinkles.
Negative environmental factors . These include: polluted air, dust, temperature changes, strong wind. They cause damage to cells, promote their oxidation, and make the skin's immunity weak.
Lack of skin care or improper care . It may be too little, too much, or simply wrong. Dehydration and aggressive cleansing - this, in turn, negatively affects the condition of the skin.
Poor nutrition . Both fasting and excess nutrition with large amounts of fats and carbohydrates have a negative effect on the skin. Herbs, fruits, vegetables, cereals and whole grain bread, and complete protein (meat, fish, poultry, eggs) will be of great benefit to her. Healthy food helps to prolong youth.
Too active or passive lifestyle . Heavy workload in the gym is just as harmful as a sedentary lifestyle. It is necessary to find a middle ground.
Lack of sleep. Healthy sleep is the key to fresh and beautiful skin. Constant lack of sleep causes dark circles under the eyes, dullness and dullness of the skin, they become thinner, and wrinkles form on them.
Bad habits . Alcohol and smoking are the first things that need to be eliminated from life for beautiful skin. If you smoke regularly, even eating right and exercising won't help you stay young.
Screens of tablets, laptops and smartphones . There is an opinion that the radiation from them is more dangerous than ultraviolet. It destroys collagen, promotes increased pigmentation and the appearance of wrinkles. There have not yet been large-scale studies on this matter. But one thing is certain - blue screens can cause sleep disturbances, and this, as we found out, is no longer good.

RF lifting

Impact on wrinkles with radio waves. The collagen fibers in the skin become more elastic, causing the skin to tighten. For facial skin lifting, bi- and tripolar devices are used. They show high and proven effectiveness.

There is no need to prepare for RF lifting. You can come for a session at any time of the year, even in summer it can be highly effective. The cleanliness of the face greatly influences the result of lifting. First, the cosmetologist performs peeling, and then applies a conductive agent. Next, work begins on skin imperfections using a manipulator.

Due to the action of the radio beam, the blood vessels dilate, so side effects include redness of the treated areas and increased temperature on the face. In the evening on the day of the session, your face may swell slightly. For most patients, these symptoms resolve on their own in about 2-3 days.

Do not overuse lifting, keep pauses between sessions and carry out skincare procedures as recommended by a cosmetologist. Neglecting the recommendations can lead to skin fibrosis.

RF lifting has contraindications:

acute period of infections;
pregnancy and lactation;
diabetes;
skin diseases, wounds;
prostheses, implants in the body;
high blood pressure;
menstruation.

Lifting with radio waves is prohibited for people under 25 years of age. The procedures cannot be combined with Botox injections.

1-2 courses per year of 4 procedures are enough for the effect to last for a long time. During menopause, the number of sessions increases to 6-8.

Benefits of a non-surgical facelift

Everyone knows that facial plastic surgery is an intervention in its tissues through surgery. This method is aimed at correcting defects not with conventional injections, but with the use of a scalpel. Not every woman is ready to do this. After all, wounds can take a long time and painfully to heal after surgery, and the result is not always impressive.

The main advantage of a non-surgical facelift, reviews of which are mostly positive, lies in the very principle of the method. This procedure represents therapeutic trauma to the inner and outer layers of the skin. But, unlike surgical intervention, after this method, the fibers of the main connective tissue (collagen, elastin and molecular chains of hyaluronic acid) are regenerated and continue to perform their functions. Similar methods also include: creams, masks, gels, massagers. These methods of non-surgical facial skin tightening are not at all dangerous.

Pros:

Availability. Most people can afford a face lift, with the exception of those for whom it is contraindicated (pregnant, breastfeeding, cancer patients, patients with bleeding disorders and those with untreated infectious diseases).
Safety. Minimal likelihood of side effects compared to plastic surgery. The only concern after the procedure may be swelling of the area where the manipulation was performed and peeling of the skin during the healing period.
No visible or invisible consequences on the face. There are no scars left on the body after complete healing. In addition to the fact that lifting does not leave any traces behind, it has a beneficial effect on the speed of blood flow and vascular health. Small toxins are actively removed from the body.
Fast action. Surgery requires a long recovery period. Lifting provides quick results.
Youth for many years. High-quality products have a long-lasting effect that will last for many years.

What types of anti-aging massage exist?

Sculptural

Sculptural massage deeply works the facial muscles, maintains their tone, which tightens the oval, eliminates the double chin, smoothes wrinkles in the forehead and eyes, evens out skin tone and removes puffiness. Recommended as prevention at the age of 25+ and ideal for 30+.

Buccal

During this type of massage, attention is paid to facial and chewing muscles, which improves blood microcirculation, strengthens facial muscles, restores facial skin, increases the elasticity and strength of muscle fibers.

Myofascial

One of the most powerful massage techniques. The effect is noticeable after the first massage - blood flow will increase, the movement of lymph will be activated, which removes toxins from the body, and muscle fibers will gain strength and elasticity.

Injection facelift methods

With the help of injections you can get rid of even deep wrinkles. The most popular procedures: mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasma lifting, Botox injections.

Skin aging occurs due to the fact that collagen and hyaluronic acid are produced in smaller quantities. This problem comes with age. On the face it manifests itself as follows: changes in skin color, loss of elasticity, plasticity and the appearance of wrinkles. These troubles can be overcome with injections.

They successfully cope with such aesthetic skin defects as:

the appearance of facial wrinkles;
change in facial contour due to loss of elasticity;
color change;
dryness and flaking;
excess fat, which causes acne, blackheads, etc.

Injections to improve skin condition are not cheap. The high price of a non-surgical facelift with injections is associated with the quality of the drugs, their cost, as well as the professionalism of the cosmetologist who carries out such procedures.

Minimum prices:

mesotherapy – from 3,000 rubles;
biorevitalization – from 6,000 rubles;
fillers – from 9,000 rubles;
Botox – from 500 rubles per unit.

Contraindications to injections:

chronic diseases in the acute stage;
acute respiratory infections, ARVI;
exacerbation of herpes;
the presence of keloid scars;
feverish condition;
oncology;
poor blood clotting;
insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus;
individual sensitivity to the components of the drug.

Such procedures are not recommended during pregnancy and lactation.

Techniques that involve injections are carried out through a puncture of the skin with the introduction of the drug into the tissue. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure proper preparation for them.

You need to follow the recommendations:

stop drinking alcohol and smoking 2-3 days before the procedure;
Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen or other medications that cause dilation of blood vessels.

Actions of the cosmetologist before the procedure:

Cleansing the skin of makeup.
Treating the face with an antiseptic solution.
Anesthetize the desired areas by applying a lidocaine-based gel.

For the best results, there are exact instructions on what to do after the procedure. Cosmetologists can give different recommendations, depending on the drug. But there are also general rules.

Within 2 weeks after injections it is prohibited:

apply decorative cosmetics, as well as masks and creams that have not been approved by a specialist;
steam in a sauna or steam bath;
go to the solarium and sunbathe in the sun;
drink alcohol.

There may be bruises, lumps, pain when touched and pressed, and slight swelling at the puncture site for 1–3 days.

There are cases where women experienced headaches during the procedure. Any symptoms should be reported to a cosmetologist.

Fillers

Thanks to fillers, you can perform a non-surgical tightening of the facial skin, correct its oval, get rid of deep wrinkles and creases, and add volume to the cheekbones and nose.

The preparations have a gel texture. The effect is comparable to plastic surgery. The most important advantage is that they do not affect facial expressions.

Main components of fillers:

purified silicone (harmful with a large number of side effects, prohibited in Europe and the USA);
collagen of animal origin or purified human;
hyaluronic acid.

Recently, technology has emerged for injecting the patient’s own fat as a filler, but it is very complex. Fat is removed in sufficient quantities during liposuction. Then the material is processed in several stages and distributed under the skin of the face. It's expensive, but worth it. This drug does not cause side effects, and the results last for six months or longer.

All fillers have a different consistency. The most highly qualified professionals work with dense textures. It is difficult to distribute them evenly under the skin so as not to form lumps and bumps. But the result can be seen immediately, and it lasts much longer.

We recommend

More liquid filler consistencies are distributed easily and lie evenly. The result is noticeable almost instantly.

The effect of fillers lasts 6–12 months. Recommended for use by women aged 35–50 years.

Botulinum toxin

Preparations with this component do an excellent job of treating wrinkles. They affect the nerve endings of the muscles, block them, and the tissues relax. As a result, the facial skin is smoothed. The results from this procedure last 6–12 months. Then you need to repeat the session.

The effect will be visible over time, within 2 weeks after botulinum toxin injection.

During the procedure it is prohibited:

bend over for several hours after the injection;
touch puncture sites on the skin;
take antibiotics and drink alcohol for 2 weeks.

The first day you need to observe the activity of facial expressions.

The main drugs with botulinum toxin:

"Botox" (USA);
"Xeomin" (Germany);
"Dysport" (France).

They differ in different concentrations of the main substance and the presence or absence of additional protein complexes. Such injections are recommended for women over 30 years of age.

Biorevitalization

This is the introduction of hyaluronic acid-based preparations into the deep layers of the skin. Additionally, peptides, plant extracts, etc. can be added to the injection (at the discretion of the specialist).

Biorevitalization helps restore skin, replenish vitamin reserves, deeply moisturize and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin by body tissues.

This procedure consists of a course of injections. It includes 3 procedures, with a break between them of 2–3 weeks.

The effect depends on the age and individual characteristics of the body. For some, one session is enough, while for others it takes some time for the cells to wake up and continue to function.

The more age-related changes a woman has, the more pronounced the result will be. A few days after the procedure, the cells will begin to produce collagen, and wrinkles will begin to smooth out. After a few weeks, the skin defects will completely disappear.

It won't happen that you wake up the next day and the wrinkles will disappear. This process requires at least a week. However, after the first session you will see a refreshed and more youthful face.

Biorevitalization promotes:

getting rid of puffiness;
reduction of dark circles under the eyes;
smoothing out wrinkles;
lightening pigmentation;
return of a healthy complexion;
skin smoothing.

The injections act gradually over 3-4 weeks, the effect lasts up to 6 months.

Then it is enough to carry out the procedure once every 2-3 months. You need to monitor the frequency of repetitions not only by the period of time, but also by the condition of the skin. Biorevitalization is prescribed by a specialist to girls over 25 years old.

Mesotherapy

This is another type of injectable skin care. It happens as follows: meso-cocktails consisting of a set of vitamins are injected into the deep layers of the skin with a syringe with a thin needle. They nourish, moisturize and tone the skin, help get rid of signs of fatigue, restore elasticity and normal sebum production. The procedure will be especially useful after summer. On hot days, the face is actively exposed to ultraviolet radiation for several months.

A mesotherapy session can be performed at home. For the procedure you will need a mesoscooter, an antiseptic, an anesthetic gel and a mesococktail. This can be bought at a pharmacy.

This procedure takes 4–6 sessions with breaks of 2–3 weeks. Can be done from a young age, from 20 years.

Plasmolifting

During this procedure, platelet-rich plasma is injected. The active substance is taken from the patient’s own blood. Therefore, it is native to the body, and there is almost no risk of rejection. There are almost never any side effects.

During plasma lifting, shallow (up to 3 mm) punctures are made in certain areas of the face, through which the resulting drug is injected under the skin. Thanks to this, skin elasticity noticeably increases, fine wrinkles are smoothed out, and complexion is restored.

This procedure takes place in several stages:

The patient prepares himself at home.
Blood is collected and then prepared in a special centrifuge (at this point plasma is released, which is then enriched with platelet mass).
The resulting substance is injected into the areas of the skin where the problem is detected.

The most important stage of plasma lifting is the preparatory stage, it should not be missed. The final result depends on how good the preparation is.

A few days before the procedure, you need to adjust your diet. Avoid fatty, fried, salty and spicy foods. Do not drink alcohol. Substances that are part of alcohol negatively affect the quality of blood, changing its composition.

You need to drink the required amount of fluid, consume at least 2 liters per day. It is important that it is clean drinking water.

Facial skin care remains unchanged. But it is better not to do aggressive cleansing, masks, or deep peeling a few days before plasma lifting.

This method of rejuvenation is carried out only in the clinic. Since a competently performed procedure requires special equipment and qualified specialists.

First, the patient's venous blood is taken (this is similar to a regular blood test from a vein). After it is placed in a centrifuge, plasma is released in it.

The facial skin is then treated with an antiseptic to prevent the risk of infection. This technique is minimally invasive, but the skin and soft tissue are still slightly damaged. However, this is enough for bacteria to enter the body.

Then comes the injection stage. The number and location of injections may vary. The procedure is painful and lasts about half an hour. At the end, the patient needs to rest a little, then he can go home.

For the greatest effectiveness of plasma lifting, you must follow the following recommendations:

Blood sampling should be done on an empty stomach.
You should not overeat on the eve of the procedure. It’s better to have dinner with foods that are easy to digest, or you can eat nothing at all.
After the procedure, the patient needs several days to recover (usually 3–5 days). At this time, you should protect your skin as much as possible from exposure to UV radiation, as well as extreme temperatures.
Do not use decorative cosmetics for several days during rehabilitation.
Repeat sessions every 2 weeks (a total of 5-6 procedures will be needed).

If you decide to undergo such a procedure, you need to find a salon or clinic that uses only certified original drugs. The personnel should consist only of qualified specialists who can help with choosing the appropriate procedure and select the composition and volume of the drug. Cosmetologists should be focused on obtaining the result you need, avoid negative consequences and emphasize your individual facial features using injection rejuvenation methods.

Plasmolifting

Plasmolifting is skin rejuvenation with injections of your own plasma. Due to its biocompatibility, the drug is ideally absorbed in the body and does not cause an allergic reaction. Cosmetologists use sterile tubes made of hypoallergenic material to collect blood. The procedure is safe.

Before the session, the client's blood is drawn. It will then be spun in a centrifuge to isolate the plasma.

Plasmolifting not only rejuvenates the skin, but also treats acne, normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands, and eliminates post-acne scars.

Before the session, careful preparation is required, including a blood test for infections.

A few hours before the procedure, avoid alcohol, fatty, smoked, and spicy foods. At this time, you should not drink strong tea or coffee. Before going to the cosmetologist, do not eat for 5 hours.

Contraindications to plasma lifting:

chronic diseases;
oncology;
acute infections;
tuberculosis, hepatitis, HIV;
diabetes;
taking blood thinning medications;
pregnancy and breastfeeding;
blood diseases.

Hardware facelift

To restore youth to the skin, it is not necessary to undergo a course of injections. A non-surgical facelift can be achieved using special devices. These procedures are absolutely painless, and the skin recovers quickly after them.

Hardware cosmetology is aimed at rejuvenation and healing. Manipulations are carried out using special equipment. The advantages of this method:

high efficiency;
effect not only on the superficial layers of the skin, but also on the deep structures, subcutaneous tissue;
During the procedure there is almost no or very little pain;
positive changes appear almost immediately;
versatility - allows you to solve many problems with the skin of the face and body;
no need for long-term rehabilitation (compared to surgical interventions).

The main disadvantages are side effects (usually they do not cause severe discomfort: peeling, swelling, redness), as well as the need for a short period of recovery or compliance with certain recommendations. In addition, there is a high probability of ending up not with a professional, but with an inexperienced or even unqualified specialist. The procedure in this case can lead to complications.

Lifting techniques are effective for:

decreased tone, dullness, aging of the skin;
formation of small wrinkles;
uneven skin texture;
strongly pronounced wrinkles or facial folds, vertical furrows;
the appearance of bruises or bags under the eyes;
jowls;
double chin;
enlarged pores, acne, post-acne;
rosacea;
the presence of scars, scars, stretch marks;
freckles or age-related hyperpigmentation.

The main task of hardware lifting is skin regeneration. It makes it fresher and more elastic. After 25 years, it is possible to carry out procedures that will maintain the normal condition of the skin as a preventive measure.

Despite its effectiveness, the intensive effects of hardware techniques have contraindications: pregnancy, breastfeeding, serious neurological or mental disorders, the presence of chronic pathologies, the presence of foreign bodies in the body, blood diseases, autoimmune diseases, infectious and oncological processes.

Currently, there are many types of hardware cosmetology procedures and their options. Let's look at the most effective and safe ones, according to cosmetologists.

RF lifting

The most popular procedure. It is carried out as follows: the skin structures are exposed to powerful pulses of radio waves emitted by a special device. As a result, the metabolic process is activated, fat cells are destroyed, fibroblasts (cells responsible for the production of collagen) are stimulated.

The device is designed in such a way that the intensity of radio emission can be adjusted. Thanks to this, the method can be used for different areas of the face, décolleté, neck, and chest. Basically, to achieve the desired result, 5–8 sessions are needed, the frequency is different for each patient, depending on the characteristics of the body.

An important advantage of fractional RF lifting is the complete absence of a recovery period and minor side effects (dry skin). The main disadvantage is that it is not suitable for patients over 45 years of age. You should expect very little results at this age. But you can combine this procedure with biorevitalization, then radio wave sessions will show results even at 60 years old.

Microcurrent hardware facelift

During this procedure, the device acts on problem areas with weak pulses of low-frequency current. This stimulates the natural potential of old or weakened cells of the superficial and deep layers of the skin, promotes their regeneration, while simultaneously influencing facial vessels and muscle structures. The session takes 20–30 minutes. During the procedure, the specialist smoothly moves a special applicator along massage lines, in the direction from the center of the face to its periphery. This procedure does not cause any particular discomfort, except for a slight tingling sensation in the most sensitive areas.

The main advantage is a quick facelift. But one session is not always enough for rejuvenation. After the first procedures, the effect will last 2 days. Long-term results can be achieved with a physiotherapeutic course, it consists of 7-10 sessions.

Cryotherapy

This method is based on the effect of low temperatures on the skin, resulting in a natural reaction of the skin. The vessels sharply narrow and then expand, thanks to this the blood begins to actively circulate, become saturated with oxygen, and metabolic processes accelerate.

Cold was used as a treatment in ancient times. Galen and Hippocrates recommended the use of ice baths to cure many diseases.

Cryotherapy not only helps to increase skin tone and elasticity, remove wrinkles on the face, neck and décolleté, but also in the fight against:

excessive oily skin;
acne, post-acne;
acne;
age spots;
warts;
scars.

In many salons, the procedure is carried out using a cryospray, which cools the skin to -180 °C. But the most modern and effective is the use of cryoelectrophoresis (subcutaneous injection of frozen drugs under the influence of a pulsating current). For best results, 9–12 sessions are required. In addition to the contraindications typical for hardware cosmetology, cryolifting cannot be performed on patients with increased sensitivity to cold.

Photorejuvenation

This method is carried out with a gentle impact, it does not injure the skin, and there are no traces of any intervention left after it. Photorejuvenation involves treating problem areas with a special applicator that emits powerful light flashes. They penetrate quite deeply (up to 3 cm), promote gentle heating of deep structures and activate the production of collagen and elastin.

Thanks to the completed course, the following changes occur:

facial tone is evened out;
pores narrow;
contours are tightened;
deep wrinkles and folds disappear or decrease;
manifestations of rosacea become less.

Negative aspects of photorejuvenation:

lack of quick results (the first changes begin after 1.5 months);
low efficiency after 55 years;
high cost (approximately 20,000 rubles per course);
seasonality (it is better not to carry out this procedure in the summer).

Laser rejuvenation

This procedure is based on the simultaneous impact on the deep and superficial layers of the skin. Defects that are on the surface are corrected with a laser beam. It penetrates deeply and stimulates internal self-healing, as well as the synthesis of useful components. The result is natural renewal and rejuvenation of the skin surface. The procedure, although minimally invasive, is considered complex, is performed in a hospital setting, and the recovery period is short.

LPG massage

An effective technique to combat the first signs of aging, superficial wrinkles. This procedure is effective due to the simultaneous operation of special rollers and vacuum. This helps to influence subcutaneous fat and stimulate collagen production. Another advantage of LPG massage is that it does not require a recovery period, and there are almost never side effects. But the price for such a massage is high; the full course is 10–15 sessions.

ELOS-rejuvenation

During this procedure, a complex of optical and laser energies is used. A session of such rejuvenation involves heating the subcutaneous layers to a high temperature. This stimulates the synthesis of fibers, which function to support healthy and youthful skin. ELOS rejuvenation helps in the fight against pigmentation, rosacea, evens out skin texture, and corrects wrinkles of varying severity.

Ultrasonic lifting

This is the effect of a wave-like acoustic pulse on superficial and deep subcutaneous structures under constant ultrasound control on a monitor. During the procedure, the integrity of the skin is not damaged; a recovery period and special treatment of the skin are not required. This technique is a non-surgical facelift and works great for sagging, drooping eyelids, double chin, jowls, deep wrinkles, and furrows. The only negative is that you need to numb the area before starting the session.

SMAS lifting (ultrasonic)

This is a non-invasive (performed without surgery or injections), one-time, non-surgical facelift.

SMAS (from English Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) is the muscular-aponeurotic layer of facial tissue, which consists of muscles, collagen and elastin fibers. It is this layer that gives elasticity and firmness to the skin and serves as a frame that ensures the clarity of the oval of the face.

With this procedure, ultrasound affects the deep layers of the skin, and not the superficial ones, as happens with other cosmetic procedures. The ultrasonic wave penetrates to a depth of about 4.5 mm. As a result, the synthesis of new collagen and elastin fibers is activated, and skin restoration processes begin.

Another additional effect is the lipolytic effect, or ultrasonic cavitation (destruction of fat cells). In other words, SMAS lifting helps to remove unnecessary fat, which is located in the chin area and oval of the face.

Which method is the most effective for non-surgical face and neck lifting? To answer this question, you need to determine your personal wishes and preferences. To choose the most suitable technique, you need to know for sure what result you would like to see. Before making a decision, you should consult with a cosmetologist, he will help you choose what you need.

Is it possible to correct gravitational ptosis with massage?

Facial massage is one of the main ways to maintain facial muscles in tone, which also helps improve skin condition, facial tone, and make the oval of the face and cheekbones clearer. During the procedure, muscles that are tense during the day and even during sleep relax. For example, one chewing muscle presses on the molars with a force of up to 90 kg. If this tension is not relieved, then habits such as involuntary clenching of the teeth, grinding them down, tics, headaches, and changes in the shape of the face may appear. When muscles are tense for a long time, that is, they are contracted, blood and lymph circulation in them decreases, metabolic products accumulate, inflammation and fat deposits may appear, this will lead to increased signs of facial aging. Facial massage is the only and natural way to get rid of such tension and its manifestations.

In addition, it has a lymphatic drainage effect, enhances the tone of the lymphatic vessels, lymph circulation in them, as a result of which the content of toxins and metabolic products in the tissues is significantly reduced, excess intercellular fluid (edema) is removed, that is, lymphatic drainage in the tissues is improved. Facial tone noticeably improves with a course of lymphatic drainage massage at any age. In order for the results of the massage to last for a long time, it is recommended to undergo a course of 10-14 procedures, once a week, and then a maintenance procedure once every 2 weeks.

Absorbable threads

These threads are made from polylactic acid. They perform rejuvenation and gradually dissolve. They are also called nanothreads, bionithreads, mesothreads. Visually they resemble a fishing line with notches. Irregularities are needed to secure the frame.

The introduction of threads stimulates the formation of natural collagen, which makes the skin more elastic. The skin rejuvenation effect of degradable threads lasts up to 2 years.

For mild age-related changes, absorbable threads are well suited. They are ideal for thin skin and small fat layers. With the help of such threads you can correct expression lines and deeper folds. A side effect of installing degradable threads is a slight tingling sensation on the skin. This is normal and signals collagen production. Tingling begins approximately 2 months after the procedure and goes away on its own later.

Laser lifting

The laser beam of light stimulates the production of elastin in the skin, restoring elasticity to the tissues. Rejuvenation in a natural way with excellent cosmetic effect.

There are two types of laser tightening:

fractional - part of the upper layer of skin is removed for deeper penetration of the beam. Used after 40 years.
non-ablative – occurs without damaging the skin. An effective technique that does not require incisions, is offered in beauty centers.

Contraindications:

epilepsy, bronchial asthma;
exacerbation of chronic diseases;
pregnancy, breastfeeding;
neoplasms in the body;
increased fundus pressure;
dry eye syndrome.

Laser lifting is contraindicated when taking certain medications. For drug therapy, consultation with a doctor is required.

Redness after laser exposure is a normal reaction for patients with thin skin. Crusts may form on the face, but this is not a sign of illness. Carriers of the herpes virus with weak immunity may experience an exacerbation of this disease after a laser lifting session. This happens extremely rarely. Patients with oily skin sometimes develop blackheads with white heads.

After the session, apply a high SPF cream or panthenol to the treated areas. You should not sunbathe in a solarium or in the active sun - this can cause burns.

2 weeks after the procedure, start using creams with hyaluronic acid. The doctor may give additional recommendations, be sure to listen to them.

Definition

A decrease in turgor leads to the fact that the skin begins to sag in the lower part of the cheeks, forming an unnatural, irregular oval of the face. It does not look aesthetically pleasing at all, indicating not only age-related changes, but also many bad habits, as well as a lack of timely and effective care.

How to avoid ptosis: prevention

Time cannot be stopped completely, but you can significantly slow down its pace by choosing an effective set of anti-aging procedures. They include many points that not only improve appearance, but also help maintain the overall tone of the body, and the famous saying says: “a woman is as old as she feels.”

Therefore, it is worth taking into account and using the entire arsenal of modern opportunities in order to feel great. The list includes:

balanced diet;
UV protection;
self-massage;
taking vitamin and mineral complexes;
hardware cosmetology;
good mood.

Lifting with absorbable and permanent threads

Today, a lift without surgery is done using threads. Some threads dissolve on their own over time, while others remain under the skin forever.

Contraindications

Pregnancy and lactation period.
Period of menstruation.
Poor blood clotting.
New growths on the skin.
Diabetes.
Skin diseases.
Allergic reactions to thread material and anesthesia.

When interviewing a specialist, do not hide the presence of contraindications. If they are, then you can always use other tightening techniques.
