How it works
The facial muscles are a kind of frame. Their relaxation and contraction is directly reflected in the surface relief. Folds, wrinkles and sagging owe a lot of their origin to the condition of muscle tissue.
Special exercises help maintain fiber tone, which helps smooth and tighten all layers of the dermis.
We rejuvenate without surgery using the device
The impact of device therapy is the same. It is aimed at warming up the subcutaneous tissue. This stimulates the compaction of collagen fibers and the production of new elastin and collagen. As a result, wrinkles become less noticeable, pores are significantly reduced, the skin becomes elastic and looks velvety.
The differences in the use of the hardware method come down to the use of different energy sources. This could be a laser, radio waves or other energy. In general they are similar.
The course ranges from 3 to 5 procedures. The effect lasts for about two years.
Particularly popular are ELOS lifting, laser thermolifting and radio frequency (RF) lifting, as well as microcurrent therapy. Approximately five procedures should be performed over the course of a week. There are very few contraindications to their use; they are completely harmless to the body.
Basic principles of Facebook building
As in any fitness, in facial gymnastics it is important to adhere to certain rules in order to get the best possible result.
Complexity
Exercises for facial rejuvenation after 50 years must necessarily involve the muscles of the entire face and neck. Of course, you should stick to a healthy diet and drink enough fluids.
Regularity
You need to exercise at least 4 times a week. It is optimal to perform the exercises every day, devoting 15–20 minutes to them. You won’t have to force yourself, since gymnastics is not associated with unpleasant sensations.
Subsequence
In one approach, you should work on all areas: forehead, cheeks, area around the eyes, cheekbones, lips, chin and neck. Those over 50 years of age need to perform facial gymnastics sequentially: one exercise after another, taking breaks between them lasting no more than 30 seconds.

Examples of exercises
Approximate gymnastics for the face after 50 years.
Clear oval
Spread your thumbs and index fingers as wide as possible and place them on your face from the side of your temples, as if putting it in a frame. Slowly move the skin back slightly to tighten the skin. Raise your chin slightly.
Youth corner
Fix the ring fingers near the corners of the mouth, the middle fingers at the beginning of the cheekbones, and the index fingers near the tragus of the auricles. Move the skin by moving your fingers slowly 2 cm upward, as if stretching the face. Hold the position for 1 minute. Such gymnastics for the face after 50 years helps to maintain high cheekbones.
Eyelids without wrinkles
Use your index, middle and thumb fingers to secure the skin in the area of the outer corners of the eyebrows, inner corners of the eyes and in front of the eye sockets. Close your eyelids tightly, feeling how the skin of the lower and upper eyelids stretches.
Facelift without surgery
Not everyone can decide to undergo surgery.
A woman may be deterred by postoperative complications, as well as the cost of the procedure.
There are several non-surgical facelift methods that can help remove wrinkles, firm the skin, and improve facial contours.
The disadvantages of this method are that the results last for about three years.
The advantages include:
- low price;
- much less traumatic;
- fewer contraindications.
Facelift without surgery is divided into the following groups:
- injection - rejuvenation occurs due to the injection under the skin of injections consisting of special preparations: mesolifting, plasma lifting, contour plastic surgery;
- hardware – activation of subcutaneous processes with laser or radio wave energy;
- thread – tissue tightening due to the installation of corrective threads in the subcutaneous space;
- various types of peeling that clean off the upper layer of the epidermis, while stimulating cell regeneration;
- massage that improves metabolic processes and restores muscle tone.
Fractional laser
Laser energy is converted into thermal energy during use.
It helps the doctor straighten folds in the area of the nose and lips, remove sagging and tighten the contour of the face. To obtain a visible effect, it is necessary to conduct at least four sessions.
There are two tightening methods used in laser facelift for the face.
Non-ablative - the effect is on the upper part of the skin with the production of collagen.
Fractional – dot – microdamage occurs in skin cells, but at the same time:
- skin cells begin to produce their own collagen;
- skin protection increases;
- enzymes begin to work more actively;
- some cells are removed.
A laser device - dot - produces a rejuvenating effect with thermal energy.
The high price and presence of contraindications are the main disadvantages of the lifting process. The list of contraindications includes diseases such as mental, skin, cancer and, as a separate factor, pregnancy.
Photothermolysis cannot be carried out in sunny weather, as it requires time for rehabilitation. The main advantages of photothermolysis:
- painlessness;
- relative safety;
- tangible result.
Face lift with threads
Using this method of face lifting with threads has excellent results. The threads have notches that are attached to the skin.
This procedure uses silver threads, mesothreads, and Aptos. They are inserted deep under the skin, forming a frame. Then they are tightened, which leads to fixation of the tissues in a new position.
During a facelift, the following shortcomings are eliminated:
- expression wrinkles;
- saggy chin;
- saggy cheeks;
- folds in the corners of the lips.
The operation takes place quickly, without visible marks, the threads are not rejected. The advantages of this method are that the effect is noticeable immediately, lasts for a long time and is relatively inexpensive.
The disadvantages include:
- the thread may rupture with the formation of hematomas;
- there are contraindications - diabetes, blood clots or vice versa, poor blood clotting;
- pain during surgery.
Facelift using radio waves
During this procedure, the thermal effect begins throughout the entire depth of the dermal layers. This stimulates collagen formation as the fluid inside the cells heats up. Collagen is responsible for elasticity. You can use this method if you want:
- tighten the facial contour;
- rejuvenate the décolleté area;
- remove double chin;
- make expression lines smaller.
The disadvantages of this procedure include contraindications: diabetes, skin diseases and hypertension. Also, radio wave lifting cannot be done during pregnancy and if there are implants in the lift areas. The advantages of this procedure:
- reasonable cost;
- during the procedure the person does not experience any discomfort;
- acceptable cost.
Facelift using endoscopy
This rejuvenation procedure is used when folds appear on the eyelids, when a person’s eyebrows droop, or when wrinkles form on the forehead.
The procedure can be performed separately on the upper, middle or lower part of the face.
The advantages include quick recovery and invisible scars. The lift is done as follows:
- a small skin incision is made in an inconspicuous place;
- it is separated from the fabric;
- pull up a little;
- fixed.
Contraindications for gymnastics
There are numerous contraindications for performing gymnastic exercises. These include:
- inflammatory gum diseases;
- wearing braces;
- inflammation of the trigeminal nerve;
- neurotic pathologies;
- dermatitis, eczema, other skin diseases;
- cervical osteochondrosis;
- migraine;
- hypertension;
- tumors in the face;
- cerebrovascular accident;
- increased intracranial pressure;
- pain of unknown origin.
It is necessary to stop doing gymnastics if you suddenly feel unwell, or if you experience headaches or tinnitus.
General execution rules
Execution rules:
- Anti-wrinkle gymnastics should be performed in front of a mirror for the first time, this will allow you to monitor the precise execution of the technique;
- you need to sit straight, you cannot lean towards the mirror, otherwise you may get new wrinkles;
- during execution, 1 muscle group works, all the rest are in a relaxed state, when additional ones are activated, it is necessary to fix it with your palms;
- after training, you need to cleanse your face, you can use flower water and apply a nourishing cream;
- can be performed while wearing makeup, but these should be exceptional cases; the tone or powder must be washed off;
- after each exercise against wrinkles on the forehead, you need to relax the fibers, to do this, exhale with the sound “pff”, your lips should vibrate slightly;
- It is recommended to practice facelift no earlier than 30 minutes before applying makeup, and no later than an hour before bedtime.
Important point! The main criterion for correctly performing gymnastics for wrinkles on the forehead and bridge of the nose is the appearance of mild fatigue and a burning sensation. This occurs under the influence of lactic acid, synthesized during maximum muscle work. All exercises are performed 5 to 10 times.
