Facial rejuvenation procedure

Anti-aging procedures are a modern cosmetic method, the action of which is aimed at correcting skin changes caused by age. Most of them have a hardware or injection focus. The choice of a particular type is based on the individual characteristics of the patient. Age and physiological characteristics, existing indications, contraindications, as well as the condition of the thermal layer are taken into account. Facial rejuvenation procedures are classified by type, but most are characterized by their versatility.

Indications for anti-aging procedures

Many women start thinking about their first appointment with an esthetician when the first wrinkles, jowls and skin folds appear. Other signs indicating the need to visit a specialist are:

• a tendency to premature appearance of facial wrinkles;
• pale skin color;
• uneven skin tone, regardless of rest and rhythm of life;
• persistent dry skin, accompanied by peeling and irritation;
• loose circles under the eyes;
• swelling of the face.

Doctors advise not to wait for the first negative changes to form on the face, but to always maintain skin tone. Then you can achieve facial rejuvenation even after 60 years of age and avoid serious problems at an older age.

Cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation

Depending on the effect, there are several types of facial rejuvenation procedures:

• Nutritious. They fill the skin with useful substances aimed at improving its condition.
• Stimulate. They promote the natural recovery of the epidermis, during which collagen-elastin reproduction occurs.
• Support. Improves skin structural connections, slowing the formation of wrinkles and folds.
• Repair. Fill in lost tissue volume or perform skin tightening.

Laser fractional rejuvenation

This is a deep treatment of the dermal layers by exposing them to high temperatures. This procedure involves using a laser to burn the surface cells of the skin, thereby affecting the deeper layers. As a result, renewal processes are activated, during which elastin and collagen are synthesized, which are the "building materials" of our epidermis. The effect is seen in a noticeable tightening of the facial contour, smoothing of wrinkles, and lifting of the corners of the eyes.

The procedure is carried out under the supervision of a cosmetologist, who individually selects the power, depth and temperature of the rays. After the first session, positive changes are visible and long-term.

Fractional laser rejuvenation helps:

• worsening of the skin condition, accompanied by a decrease in skin tone and loss of elasticity;
• pigmentation;
• scars and scar tissue;
• acne and its consequences;
• stretch marks;
• wrinkles;
• enlarged pores;
• drooping eyelids.

The main advantage of laser rejuvenation is the renewal of the dermal layer. In one procedure, about 20% of the tissue is removed, and at the same time, the process of forming new skin structures begins. Other benefits include:

• Multi-impact. Laser exposure allows you to treat several skin problems at once. For example, smoothing wrinkles, tightening pores and removing pigmentation.
• Versatility. This procedure is performed on all skin types, with varying thicknesses and levels of sensitivity.
• Deliciousness. Ability to work with the laser on areas with a thin dermal layer: décolleté, eyelids, neck.
• Lack of rehabilitation. Applying makeup is allowed the next day after the procedure.
• Less invasive. Laser rejuvenation is a gentle method of dealing with age-related skin changes, since a light local anesthetic is used, and the duration of the procedure does not exceed 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

However, it is important to consider contraindications:

• epilepsy;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding period;
• psoriasis;
• atopic dermatitis and other allergic skin manifestations in the acute phase;
• very dry skin surface;
• the presence of wounds and inflammation in the affected area.

Before starting each procedure, a consultation is carried out, during which an assessment of the patient's skin, the presence of contraindications is carried out, as well as an explanation of the effects and available methods of pain relief. After that:

• the skin is prepared for laser exposure by cleansing it, followed by applying an analgesic cream;
• This is done over the surface of the skin with a nozzle, inside which there is a laser. Depending on the severity, an area of skin may be treated several times;
• products that have a calming effect are applied to the dermis.

To achieve the desired result, several procedures are usually required, between which there must be an interval of six months.

Often, the laser leaves a slight swelling and redness in the affected area, and also causes dryness and peeling, which disappears on its own after 2-4 days. To speed up healing, it is recommended to apply cosmetics with panthenol to the skin and use sun protection. To moisturize, use formulations based on hyaluronic acid.

Botulinum therapy

This is an effective facial rejuvenation procedure, the essence of which is the use of injectable preparations based on botulinum toxin type "A". The tension of the facial muscles provokes the appearance of hypertonicity, which leads to the formation of wrinkles, skin folds and asymmetry. Botulinum toxin has a relaxing effect on spasming muscles, so that the dermal layer becomes naturally smooth.

Botulinum therapy is indicated for:

• spasmodic facial muscles;
• deep wrinkles;
• hyperhidrosis, manifested by increased sweating of the upper and lower extremities, as well as the armpits.

It is important to consider contraindications:

• dermatitis;
• mental and neurological disorders;
• chronic form of the disease that is in the acute stage;
• malignant tumor neoplasms;
• underage.

The rejuvenation process is carried out in a supine position and begins with facial skin treatment with antiseptic preparations. If skin sensitivity increases, local anesthesia is administered. After that, using an ultra-thin syringe, botulinum toxin is injected into the dermis to a depth of 2-3 mm. The average duration of one session takes about half an hour. The next one is done after 4-6 months.

After the injection, small bumps called papules appear on the skin, which disappear on their own within 24 hours. It is recommended to spend the first 4 hours after injection in an upright position. The treated area should not be massaged, for 5 days, avoid visiting baths, solariums, saunas, sunbathing and muscle tension.

Biological reinforcement

This is an innovative method of face lifting without surgical intervention, the essence of which is the introduction of a stable hyaluronic acid preparation under the skin layer, which has a biostimulating effect.

This procedure is indicated for small wrinkles and other negative changes in the skin. Shows particular effectiveness when:

• deep creases and creases;
• decrease in skin tone, loss of elasticity;
• uneven pale skin;
• blue bag-like circles in the area under the eyes;
• extra chin, jowls, ptosis.

Stabilized hyaluronic acid promotes natural tissue regeneration by stimulating collagen-elastin production, which strengthens facial contours.

The main advantage of bioreinforcement is its almost non-traumatic nature and the automatic absence of rehabilitation. Other advantages of this procedure include:

• suitability of the formulation used, thereby eliminating the possibility of rejection by the body;
• comfort and absence of pain during therapy and after it;
• instant effect;
• minimal risk of complications.

Hyaluronic acid does not cause allergic reactions and is completely compatible with tissues. The drug is administered under the skin according to a special scheme, which leads to the formation of new skin structures.

There are several stages of the procedure:

• Preparation and cleansing of the surface layers of the skin.
• Application of anesthetic gel.
• Introduction to the injection of a composition of gel-like structure.
• Uniform drug distribution.
• Formation of a biological "skeleton" from threads.

At the end of the procedure, small injection marks are visible, which disappear on their own after a while.

It is important to consider contraindications:

• pregnancy and breastfeeding period;
• autoimmune pathology in the acute phase;
• blood clotting disorders;
• acute forms of viral and infectious diseases;
• available treatments for certain drug categories.

To enhance the effect, bioreinforcement is recommended to be carried out in courses throughout the year. The results last until the drug is completely dissolved.

Microcurrent therapy

This is a rejuvenating procedure under the influence of microcurrent pulses, which results in tightening of the facial contour, as well as other positive changes:

• double chin removal;
• getting rid of ptosis;
• smoothes wrinkles and creases.

Under the influence of the current discharge, muscle contraction occurs, resulting in active functioning of the circulatory and lymphatic systems, which stimulates metabolic processes in cells. Cellular structures are enriched with oxygen and water, which causes accelerated division. In turn, cell regeneration is the key to effective rejuvenation, which is manifested in freshness and firmness of the skin.

Microcurrent therapy is carried out in several stages:

• Preparation. Requires compliance with the drinking regime throughout the course. On the day of the procedure, it is very important to drink plenty of water, which will help cleanse the body of toxins and waste.
• Cleaning. To enhance the rejuvenating effect of microcurrents, you can use enzyme peeling or microdermabrasion. However, it is enough to remove makeup and remove sebum.
• Impact. Electrolyte, which is a conductive component of electrical impulses, is applied to the treated area. Problem areas are treated using special electrodes.

Average session time is 40 minutes. The procedure is completely painless, in rare cases, slight tingling may occur. At the end of therapy, there is no need to use additional medications.

Among the advantages of microcurrent therapy, it is worth noting the following:

• no recovery period;
• safety and absence of pain;
• long-term preservation of the effect;
• almost complete absence of contraindications, including cancer, epilepsy, skin lesions caused by infectious pathogens, the presence of pacemakers and medical implants;
• enhances the effect of other anti-aging techniques;
• accelerate tissue regeneration.

To get long-lasting results, it is recommended to carry out one-time microcurrent therapy consisting of 10-12 sessions. The first positive changes are visible after 3-4 sessions.

RF face lift

Another name is radiolifting. This is a unique procedure for skin rejuvenation, which is a worthy alternative to plastic surgery. Skin firmness is guaranteed by collagen fibers, which stretch with age and cause sagging skin. Radiolifting uses bipolar radio waves that trigger fiber contraction. The positive effects are visible after the first session.
