At the age of 50+ in women, the production of estrogen decreases sharply, which affects the condition of the skin. Facial rejuvenation after 50 years without surgery is possible with the help of competent methods of cosmetology and home care.
Plastic surgery works wonders, but not all women can afford the surgery. But competent skin care at home is available to everyone. The main thing is to be organized and comprehensive.
Daily maintenance plan:
- cleaning;
- tighten;
- moisturizer;
- nutrition.
2 times a week it is worth doing a nourishing mask, as well as connecting self-massage and gymnastics for the facial muscles.
The range of skin care cosmetics for women aged 50+ is the same as in previous years. But the composition of the funds must be different.
Need:
- get rid of products that dry out the skin - alkaline foam for washing, lotions containing alcohol;
- buy protective cosmetics to protect the skin from the negative effects of the sun, wind and frost;
- replace conventional creams and tonics with anti-aging ones.
To clean and tighten you will need:
- foam or gel for washing with a neutral pH;
- Scrub-gommage (use 1 time in 7-14 days depending on skin type);
- micellar water;
- alcohol free tonic.
It is useful to wipe the face with ice cubes - it tightens and refreshes the skin. It is recommended to use a decoction of chamomile, succession, linden to make ice.
For moisturizing and nutrition use day and night cream. Separately, you need to buy a cream for the skin of the eyelids, but for the neck you can use the same product as for the face. There is no need to buy expensive creams, medium funds are also suitable.
A good anti-aging cream contains:
- AHA and BHA acids;
- vitamins (tocopherol, retinol);
- coenzyme Q10;
- peptides;
- hyaluronic acid;
- collagen.
You can buy a ready-made mask or make your own. After 50 years, masks with oil, honey, fresh vegetables and fruits are useful. For firming, home remedies are used with homemade starch, gelatin and protein.
Massage will help you stay young. Ideally, it should be performed by an experienced beautician, but self-massage is not an exception.
An effective technique is plastic massage. Provides several types of impact - squeezing, stroking, vibration. The procedure begins with a superficial effect, then proceeds to a deep dough.
Basic tricks:
- caress. Light stroking movements are carried out in the direction of the least stretched line (massage line).
- Kneading is shallow. Performed with four fingers (except the thumb), the movements performed resemble drawing a spiral with small turns.
- Deep stirring. It is performed with all five fingers and palms, the pressure should be stronger.
- tapping. This is done with the fingertips along the massage lines.
- Vibration. It is performed with the bottom of the palm, the movement is directed from the middle of the sternum along the collarbone to the ear and further to the temple.
Before the session, the face is sprinkled with sterile powder - this is necessary to prevent the fingers from slipping over the skin.
Another technique is a complex massage with a tablespoon. For the procedure, you need to prepare two containers of hot and cold water, a few spoons, cosmetic oil.
The impact is created by the convex part of the spoon. The technique of stroking, rubbing, lightly patting is used. It is recommended to use a silver spoon, but you can use a regular spoon. Warm oil is applied to the skin before the session. The effect is made alternating with cold and warm spoons, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
An effective way to rejuvenate the face without injections and surgery is gymnastics for the facial muscles. Learning how to do the exercises at home is not difficult, the main thing is that the classes are regular.
There are various sets of exercises. Here's one of them (do each move 10 times):
- Take the air into your mouth and filter it in a circle from one cheek to the other, as if rolling a ball. First clockwise, then against.
- Press the corners of your lips firmly with your fingers. Pull your lips forward, as if to kiss someone, overcoming the resistance of your fingers.
- Press the outer corner of the eye with your finger (with the eyelid closed). Open your eyes as wide as possible, raise your eyebrows slightly. Hold this position for 5 seconds, then lower your eyelids and relax your muscles.
- Place three fingers in the area between the eyebrows, press firmly. Try to bring your eyebrows together, frown, overcome the resistance of your fingers.
- Open your mouth and try to pull your lips inward, as if hiding them behind your teeth. This movement lifts the chin.
- Press the corners of your lips with your fingers and try to smile widely.
- Pull your cheeks in, then expand them with air.
While exercising, you may experience a burning sensation on the skin. This is normal, as the muscles work and tighten.
Salon offers various ways of rejuvenation after 55 without surgery. These are traditional methods (massage, masks), and new methods (introduction of fillers, exposure to hardware).
The essence of the non-surgical face and neck rejuvenation technique is performing skin punctures and the introduction of synthetic threads that make up the reinforcing framework. The effect of the procedure field lasts 3-4 years.
Lifting with threads is recommended for sagging cheeks, shaping of the second chin, changes in facial contours, the appearance of wrinkles.
For the manufacture of threads, polymeric materials, silicon, various acids, platinum, gold are used. The thread diameter does not exceed the thickness of a human hair. After the introduction of the thread is not felt and is not visible to others.
The essence of the procedure is the exposure of the skin to a pulsating light. Radiation is the quantum flux supplied by the explosion. The wavelength used is 400-1400 nm. The effect of the procedure does not appear immediately, but 6-8 weeks after the end of the course. During this period, the collagen framework and skin structure are strengthened, the face is tightened, and fine wrinkles are smoothed out.
Light energy heats tissue and destroys photosensitive substances. Therefore:
- age spots disappear, skin improves;
- increased turgor;
- the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin is enhanced.
This technique is not suitable for eliminating all age-related changes. Other procedures should be used to remove deep wrinkles and improve facial contours.
Laser resurfacing is a procedure that can stop aging. The point is the impact on the epidermis with a laser. The top layer of cells is evaporated, which stimulates the regeneration process.
Milling is one type of peeling. But the effect is carried out on a deep layer, compared to acid peeling. Only a master who has a certificate can perform the procedure.
It is a hardware procedure based on infrared exposure to the deep layers of the skin. This is done using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The energy flow heats the deep layers of the skin until it reaches the temperature of compaction. As a result, the stretched collagen fibers become tight, providing a firming effect.
This method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, decollete, as well as for other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
An injection procedure, the essence of which is the introduction of a special "cocktail" under the skin. The preparation includes hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids.
With the introduction of mesococktails, the following changes occurred:
- age spots disappear;
- improve skin;
- dryness is removed, wrinkles are smoothed;
- relief is leveled.
The drugs are administered with very thin needles. Many microtraumas are created, which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin and improve blood microcirculation.
When planning non-surgical rejuvenation, many women opt for the injection procedure. In cosmetology, various preparations are used for injection into the skin:
- hyaluronic acid in combination with peptides;
- botulinum poison;
- calcium collagen hydroxyapatite.
Selected drugs are given by injection. A very thin injection needle is used.
Rejuvenation of the face and neck is carried out by introducing a special oxygen-ozone cocktail. After the procedure, the face becomes refreshed, wrinkles, acne scars disappear. This technique stimulates the production of collagen.
A home alternative to ozone therapy is a hydrogen peroxide facial. However, external exposure is less effective than the injection technique.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible using the fractional laser exposure technique. In terms of effectiveness, this procedure is comparable to the use of stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
It is necessary to carry out the procedure in a cosmetology clinic that has the appropriate certificate. Non-specialized use of lasers can result in burns and other side effects.
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of non-surgical facial rejuvenation, which has many advantages:
- lack of severe pain;
- noticeable effect even after one procedure;
- no negative side effects;
- short rehabilitation period.
An important advantage is an affordable price (8-10 thousand rubles) with noticeable efficiency. This procedure solves several cosmetic problems at once - smoothes wrinkles, tightens, removes post-acne scars.
It is recommended to use fractional laser exposure in the presence of the following cosmetic defects:
- wrinkles, including deep ones;
- sagging skin, loss of a clear oval of the face;
- scars, scars, spider veins;
- enlarged pores, acne;
- dark dot.
But there are also contraindications. They must be taken into account, because at the age of fifty, not everyone has iron health. It is forbidden to carry out laser rejuvenation in such circumstances:
- large inflamed areas on the face;
- skin infections;
- psoriasis, eczema;
- malignant neoplasm of any localization;
- heart disease;
- epilepsy;
- immunodeficiency states;
- neurological disorders;
- serious allergic disease.
The patient should warn the cosmetologist about the presence of a chronic disease. The specialist on this basis decides which technique can be used.
This technique consists of impacting a laser beam on the deep layers of the skin. Because the beam is broken down into many small blocks, the effect is only on certain microzones, the rest of the tissue remains intact. In the affected area, the cells "burn", which stimulates the processes of regeneration, synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women aged 50+ are advised to use non-ablative exposure methods. The difference is that the deep layer of the dermis is involved in the process. This allows even deep wrinkles to be smoothed out.
During the first week after exposure, the skin will become inflamed. This can be noted:
- in the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- in the first 1-2 days - redness;
- on days 2-3 - peeling off, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be very sensitive to the sun, so you need to apply a protective cream before going out.
After the peeling stops, that is, after about a week, the effect of the procedure will be noticeable. Wrinkles are reduced in depth, skin tightens, face looks fresh. But in order to achieve tangible results, you need to take a course. Their number is determined individually.
Assistance in choosing the right rejuvenation method will be provided by a professional beautician.
After 50 years, it is impossible to achieve a good effect when using:
- light fruit skin;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
This treatment is good for young women aged 30+. After fifty and even more than sixty years, techniques are needed that give a pronounced lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.
Reviews about facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive opinions, but there are also those who do not like this procedure.
First review
As we age, wrinkles and age spots appear. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use a non-surgical technique. Beauticians recommend fractional laser rejuvenation. I am satisfied with the procedure, I did it without any severe pain and bruising. Already on the 6th day, her face looks pretty decent, although it's more flushed than usual. I can say that there is a result - the eyelids tighten, the wrinkles become smaller, the small pigment spots disappear, but the large ones just turn pale. I will repeat the process later.
Second review
I am afraid to do plastic surgery, so I treat my skin very carefully. But after 50, the face "collapses", there are cheeks, a second chin, a network of wrinkles. I opted for fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it was so painful for me, tears were flowing from my eyes, I could barely stand this execution. In the morning I wake up and frighten myself in the mirror - a face like a beaten homeless woman. Somehow lasted 3 days, then got better. But he can actually "go out to the people" after only 2 weeks. My eye wrinkles disappeared, the ovals became more defined, the nasolabial folds became less deep. The effect is not bad, but for the second time I will not dare to endure this pain even for the sake of beauty.
