Rejuvenating beauty injections
Intradermal and subcutaneous injections are minimally invasive rejuvenation methods that provide a pronounced and long-lasting effect. Popular types of antiaging injection procedures, in particular, include:
- biorevitalization and mesotherapy- injections of hyaluronic acid and meso-cocktails, which can improve the condition of the facial skin and slow down the aging process in the tissues of the dermis. The method is also in demand among girls and young men;
- botulinum therapyaimed at rejuvenation, smoothing of mimic wrinkles due to immobilization of facial muscles by intradermal injection of botulinum toxin;
- filler injection- intradermal fillers based on hyaluronic or polylactic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite. The most common in cosmetology are hyaluronic fillers, which are injected at different depths. Injectable anti-aging biogels are used to fill superficial, medium and deep wrinkles, correct facial contours and restore volumes lost with age. For injectable rejuvenation, which reduces the signs of aging, biodegradable fillers are introduced, which first create volume due to the filler, and then maintain a rejuvenating effect due to the start-up of the natural process of collagen and elastin production;
- lipolytic injections- divide fat cells on the cheeks, cheekbones, chin.
With significant signs of aging, anti-aging.thread lifting– bioreinforcement with absorbable threads of the lower third of the face. Another popular type of injectable rejuvenation methods isplasmolifting(Platelet Rich Plasma), the introduction into the layers of the skin of a person's own blood plasma, enriched with platelets.
Facial rejuvenation procedures
Modern hardware cosmetology allows not only to eliminate the first signs of aging, but also to rejuvenate the skin for ten years. Depending on the specific problem and the depth of the manifestation of skin aging, the cosmetologist may recommend the following anti-aging procedures:
- photographic and laser rejuvenation, in which the anti-aging effect is achieved thanks to the heating of the dermal layer with light rays and the activation of the natural regeneration processes of the skin. Photorejuvenation, recommended for women and men from 25 to 45 years old, has a fairly mild rejuvenating effect and is aimed at correcting certain aesthetic defects: wrinkles, age spots, post-acne. Laser resurfacing (fractionated facelift) is more aggressive and is recommended for severe signs of aging for the 40+ category;
- biorevitalization without injection or mesotherapy. To perform anti-aging manipulations, hyaluronic biorevitalizers and mesotherapeutic cocktails are used. The penetration into the skin of the useful components is carried out by laser exposure;
- SMAS survey. The revolutionary anti-aging technique deserves special attention. The essence of the non-invasive SMAS-lifting procedure is the focused action of ultrasound on the musculoaponeurotic system located under the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous fat. The rejuvenation process, tissue renewal occurs in the deep layers, as a result of which the oval of the face is tightened, sagging is eliminated, the second chin is removed, the corners of the eyes, lips are lifted and the eyebrows. The rejuvenation procedure is unique, it is performed once a year;
- radio frequency lift- a rejuvenating technique based on the effect of high-frequency currents on the dermis and hypodermis. The skin rejuvenation effect occurs due to tissue heating and stimulation of the production of its own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid;
- cryolifting- Cold skin rejuvenation procedure. In this case, facial skin treatment with a special probe tip, cooled to -15°C, acts as a stimulator of active regeneration processes, slowing down aging.
Hardware methods of rejuvenation, which cosmetologists include in complex anti-aging programs, also include basic procedures:ultrasonic cleaning and laser peeling of carbon.
Aesthetic cosmetology for facial rejuvenation
Along with hardware and injection methods, cosmetology also uses simpler, but no less effective procedures for facial skin rejuvenation. These include, in particular:
- chemical peels;
- skin care programs for rejuvenation using a number of professional cosmetics depending on the type of skin;
- massages
Acid-Based Peels- Quite popular anti-aging procedures, which are especially effective at the first signs of aging facial skin. The method works by exfoliating the upper stratum corneum of the skin and injuring the living tissues of the epidermis. The deeper layers of the skin are not affected. Skin microburns cause an increase in the growth of collagen and elastin fibers, and an acceleration of the tissue renewal process. To correct age-related changes, medium peels are used. Deep rejuvenating peels involve the use of a highly toxic agent and are performed only in specialized clinics, and only once in a lifetime.
For facelift and rejuvenation in cosmetology salons, varioustypes of massages:
- classic handbook;
- korugui;
- myofascial;
- sculptural;
- oral;
- Spanish chiromassage.
Rejuvenating facial massages differ in technique. In general, its essence lies in the normalization of metabolic processes, the elimination of swelling and the stimulation of cell regeneration.
Complexes of rejuvenation procedures for the skin of the face with the use of cosmetic products include cleansing, exfoliation, applying fluids and anti-aging serums.
Selection of non-surgical antiaging procedures by type of aging
Cosmetologists distinguish 4 types of facial skin aging, according to which they select corrective care and rejuvenation procedures.

To combat age-related changes, chemical peels and mesotherapy procedures are prescribed. Photorejuvenation and botulinum toxin injections are very effective.
- Gravitational type of aging. A characteristic feature is the deformation of the oval of the face (the presence of a second chin, double chin). There are also nasolabial folds, omission of the eyelids. The most effective methods of rejuvenation are massage, radio wave lifting, SMAS lifting, lipolytic injections.
- tired aging guy. In people with this type, age-related changes are manifested in an unhealthy complexion, the formation of bags under the eyes and nasolacrimal grooves, slight ptosis of the eyebrows, eyelids and corners of the lips. Fillers, peels, and hardware lifting techniques are used as effective means of rejuvenation.
- Type of muscle aging.. Signs of skin aging in this case are "crow's feet" around the eyes, hyperpigmentation, fine wrinkles around the mouth, pronounced sagging tissues, and there are no deformations of the oval of the face. With the type of muscular aging, peelings, botulinum toxin and phototherapy are recommended for skin rejuvenation.
