Telling wrinkles. Diseases can be diagnosed by the “mesh” on the face

Doctor of Pharmaceutical Sciences Nailya Nasybullina says :

– A wrinkled face does not necessarily indicate a hard life. Some wrinkles are passed on to us by inheritance. For example, if your father had a large nose, you will get wrinkles or a double chin with age. There are wrinkles associated exclusively with the characteristics of our character. Perhaps the person has not had any severe trials, and his health is fine, but he reacts so violently to all the little everyday things and minor problems that his entire face is literally dotted with small wrinkles.

But there are completely different wrinkles that warn that a person has certain health problems. He who is forewarned is forearmed. For ease of “reading,” let’s divide the face into areas.

Types of facial wrinkles

In cosmetology, it is customary to distinguish between dynamic and static types of wrinkles that form as a result of active facial expressions.

The first of them are visible only when the facial muscles contract, when a person, as they say, actively “talks” with his face - moves his eyebrows or raises them in surprise, smiles a lot. In a calm state, the skin looks smooth. This type of folds is typical of young people.

Static wrinkles are present on the face even in a calm state. There are several reasons for their formation. Firstly, in the absence of appropriate therapy, dynamic wrinkles turn into static ones. Secondly, age-related changes play a role: a decrease in skin elasticity due to slower collagenogenesis and less active production of hyaluronic acid by the body.

Cosmetologists also use gradation of wrinkles according to the depth of their occurrence:

superficial;
medium-deep;
deep.

We all know that wrinkles most often form on the forehead and between the eyebrows. But even on the bridge of the nose, noticeable furrows are found in 30% of people over 40 years of age. They are usually horizontal in shape, while in the forehead area they can be transverse and vertical.

There is a common belief that facial wrinkles form in women earlier than in men. To some extent, this is true, because men's skin is denser, and in most men, skin aging occurs more slowly than in women. But here, too, everything depends on the characteristics of a particular person. There are often cases when overweight people turn to a cosmetologist with the problem of early formation of wrinkles.

Contour plastic

You can also remove rabbit wrinkles from a cosmetologist using contour plastic surgery. During the manipulation, gel-like substances with hyaluronic acid are injected under the skin. The latter is capable of retaining water in the intercellular space, and thereby providing high-quality hydration of the dermis. Thanks to their gel structure, filler preparations effectively replenish the missing volume, literally “pushing” wrinkles to the surface. As a result, deep creases disappear, the skin smoothes and the general condition of the epidermis improves.

The effect of the procedure is noticeable immediately and lasts about 1-2 years. After the drug is absorbed, the manipulation can be repeated.

How to solve a problem?

Modern cosmetology recommends taking care of preserving youthful skin from an early age. Preventive measures are always the most effective!

Starting from the age of 18, it is necessary to do moisturizing treatments both at home and with a cosmetologist. If facial expressions are very active, then for preventive purposes, from the age of 20-25, you can use botulinum therapy in small doses to prevent wrinkles from lying deep on the bridge of the nose. This is the injection of a drug based on botulinum toxin into the area of muscle tension, which relaxes the muscles. Mesotherapy - injections of therapeutic cocktails including hyaluronic acid, vitamins, antioxidants and other elements - contribute to maintaining the required level of dermis moisture, and, consequently, preventing the formation of folds.

With this approach, your skin will delight you with freshness and youth for a long time!

If the area of the bridge of the nose already has wrinkles, then the algorithm for getting rid of them will be different. Many people dream of finding a remedy that would help solve this problem at home. But this is a utopia - not a single cream or cosmetic oil, not a single mask will get rid of furrows on the skin if they have already formed.

Some people think that methods such as SMAS lifting or photorejuvenation can help them. But these technologies are not intended to eliminate existing wrinkles.

Thus, SMAS lifting is aimed at tightening the contours of the face and combating sagging tissue. This is an ultrasonic facelift; in our center it is performed using an Ulthera device (Altera) made in the USA. The effect is on the muscle layer. There is a targeted heating of the tissues, as a result of which they contract, the production of new collagen is stimulated and after some time the contours of the face are tightened.

This technique can also be used to prevent tissue aging. Ulthera therapy is carried out once every 1.5 - 2 years, has an increasing effect - the most pronounced result will be visible after 3-4 months. Some compare it with a surgical method of rejuvenation, but hyperkinetic folds, as expression lines are called in cosmetology, this rejuvenating technology will not completely remove.

Photorejuvenation evens out the texture of the epidermis, eliminates age spots and vascular formations. With the help of broadband pulsed light, a targeted effect is exerted on problem areas, while the surface of the dermis is not damaged. Our cosmetologists work using the Lumenis M22 device. This device is the result of the joint work of Israeli and American cosmetologists. After a course of procedures, the vascular network disappears (small vessels can be removed immediately), hyperpigmentation. The skin becomes clean and fresh! But this method will not help with wrinkles.

Chemical peeling will not help in this matter either. Its function is to exfoliate the stratum corneum. Peels based on various acids are used to even out complexion, treat acne, as a preparation for more serious procedures (phototherapy, laser rejuvenation), in combination with mesotherapy or biorevitalization.

The only method of wrinkle correction that has proven effectiveness is botulinum therapy. The most famous drug for this is Botox, which is produced by the American company Allergan. It has been used in aesthetic medicine since the 90s of the 20th century. However, now other botulinum toxins have become more widespread in cosmetology - Dysport (France) and Xeomin (Germany). The first is produced by IPSEN, the second by MERZ Corporation.

Botox, Dysport and Xeomin are muscle relaxants that block muscles in the desired area, thereby relaxing them. Thanks to this, the creases are gradually smoothed out. The main component of these botulinum toxins is botulinum toxin type A. The drugs are administered by injection, the whole procedure takes no more than 1 hour. The effect lasts on average from 4 to 6 months, after which the injections can be repeated. The volume of injections depends on the degree of facial activity and how deep the wrinkles have formed. If we talk about the back of the nose, then usually 5 to 10 units are placed at one or two points in each muscle. The exact amount will be calculated by the cosmetologist after the examination.

All three drugs are certified in the Russian Federation and have been used for many years. Which one will be effective in a particular case is decided by a cosmetologist during a face-to-face consultation.

Many are concerned about the safety of such a procedure and whether it is addictive. Decades of practice have proven that botulinum toxins do not cause any harm to human health, but there are conditions and diseases for which they cannot be used.

On the face

Flaccid and sagging skin on the cheekbones indicates problems with the bladder.

A slightly swollen chin means your kidneys are working hard.

Multiple wrinkles on the cheekbones indicate reduced function of the stomach and pancreas.

A transverse wrinkle on the chin may be a sign of congestion at the level of the liver or pelvis.

If the skin on the cheekbones resembles a transparent film , then it is necessary to check the condition of the liver.

If your chin often goes numb , you should visit a cardiologist and have an electrocardiogram done, as there may be heart problems.

Contraindications to botulinum therapy:

Pregnancy
Lactation
Feverish conditions
Acute viral infections
Inflammatory processes at the injection site
Allergic reaction to the components of the drug
Myasthenic syndromes.

There are others, so first you must consult a cosmetologist and fill out a medical card.

For deep folds in the bridge of the nose, a combination of botulinum therapy and contour plastic surgery can be used. After blocking muscle activity, the doctor uses a filler that fills the unevenness from the inside and smoothes it out.

This way you can quickly achieve smooth skin. The basis of most contouring preparations is hyaluronic acid. This is a natural component of the human body, which is also present in the skin, providing its moisture. However, starting from the age of 25, the process of hyaluronic acid synthesis slows down, as a result of which the dermis becomes drier, loses its freshness and fullness. Filler injections, on the one hand, replenish lost volumes, and on the other, create conditions for deep hydration of the skin, eliminating water deficiency, evening out the relief of the skin.

Nasolabial folds

Swelling and changes in the shape of the nose and the appearance of a purple tint indicate a disease of the lungs and large intestine.

Deep symmetrical wrinkles on both sides of the nose indicate dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract.

If the nasolabial fold continues to the chin , this means problems with digestion - gastritis with high acidity, an incipient stomach or duodenal ulcer, colitis.

Vertical shallow wrinkles above the upper lip indicate gynecological diseases.

Vertical wrinkles from the corners of the mouth downward warn of possible gastritis with decreased secretory function and a predisposition to pancreatic diseases.

If the area around the mouth and the mouth itself are covered with grooves, then there are spasms in the large intestine.

A white edging around the mouth draws attention to problems in the heart.

Cracks in the corners of the mouth indicate a violation of water-salt metabolism, and perhaps hydronephritis - a violation of the excretion of fluid by the kidneys.

Prevention of wrinkles

It is quite difficult to prevent their formation on the face, but it is possible. Firstly, facial activity should be controlled. To monitor facial muscle contractions, it is recommended to look in the mirror more often.

For example, you can place it next to your workplace and note in what situations certain grimaces appear, so that you can then gradually try to avoid them, developing new habits.

Secondly, regular cosmetic care is necessary to nourish and moisturize the skin and relieve muscle spasms. Special facial massage techniques, mesotherapy and biorevitalization will help with this. Home care also needs to be given attention, using high-quality professional cosmetics - creams, serums, nourishing and alginate masks.

To select the most effective cosmetic products, we advise you to consult a cosmetologist who will diagnose your skin condition and recommend the best option. As for facial exercises (face lifting), there is no scientific evidence of their effectiveness yet. Of course, if folds on the bridge of the nose, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead have already formed, and you cannot get rid of them with the help of cosmetics and massage, more effective procedures are needed.

Biorevitalization

The method is also based on the introduction of drugs based on hyaluronic acid. But, unlike contour plastic surgery, with biorevitalization the smoothing of wrinkles occurs not due to replenishment of lost volume, but due to the action of hyaluronic acid itself. Due to the saturation of the dermis structure with hyaluronic compounds:

rejuvenation processes are launched;
healthy skin color returns;
cell renewal is stimulated;
the synthesis of framework proteins is activated.

The procedure is indicated for people aged 25 to 50 years and is effective for eliminating small, superficial wrinkles.

All of these methods combine well with each other: for example, the new direction of biorevolumetry involves a combination of biorevitalization and contouring. The simultaneous use of several techniques allows you to achieve a more pronounced and lasting effect. The decision on how to remove rabbit wrinkles, which method is best to choose, what substances to use, is made taking into account individual characteristics, skin type and condition, and the patient’s age.

Facelift without surgery? It's real.

Time dictates its own laws. Today, those who look well-groomed and young achieve success. The well-known proverb “You are greeted by your clothes” can be supplemented – and by your face too! But what to do if age takes its toll?

Why do wrinkles appear?

Each of us wants to look young as long as possible and have elastic and velvety skin even in adulthood. The formation of wrinkles is an inevitable process; their appearance depends on a number of factors: age, genetics, lifestyle, bad habits, unbalanced nutrition, exposure to ultraviolet radiation, poor ecology, and insufficient and improper care of the skin. Depending on their origin, wrinkles are divided into 2 types: facial and age-related (static)

The first wrinkles can appear as early as between the ages of 20 and 25; their appearance is associated with increased facial activity. We squint, smile, frown, while muscles contract and folds appear on the face. Firm, radiant, velvety - this is what skin looks like at a young age. Collagen, the protein responsible for the elasticity of the skin, is produced in sufficient quantities and after stress associated with the manifestation of emotions, the muscles return to a resting state in their place quite easily.
