What is the best procedure for facial rejuvenation? You have surely asked yourself this question more than once. And there are many queries on this topic in online search engines.
It is important to understand here thatthere is no universal procedure for facial rejuvenation! Just as there are no magic pills that will definitely help everyone lose weight. After all, each has its own characteristics, each organism is unique, and an individual approach is required for each case. Only in this case, an effective and long-term result of anti-aging procedures is visible.
In which cases are facial rejuvenation procedures necessary?
Main indications for facial rejuvenation procedures.
It is generally accepted that facial rejuvenation procedures should be performed only in adulthood. But this is not the case! The earlier problems of aging are identified, the more effectively they can be addressed.
There is a wide range of indications for facial skin rejuvenation procedures:
- sagging, lethargic skin
- increased tone of facial muscles
- oval blurred face
- swelling in the face
- active appearance of wrinkles
- drooping corners of eyes and lips
- gray and dull complexion
- deepening of the nasolabial folds
- the appearance of "ruffles"
- complex age-related changes
Of course, it is possible to assess the need for certain anti-aging procedures "by eye" in the mirror, but it is better to get a full assessment of the condition of the skin:
What happens to the skin during rejuvenation?
Facial rejuvenation procedures are necessary to slow down the aging process, to create the conditions for them to progress as slowly as possible and have a minimal effect on the condition of the skin. During the first procedures (taking into account the fact that they are selected by the cosmetologist on the basis of an individual diagnosis of the skin of the face), visible changes on the skin begin to occur:
- excess fluid is removed, resulting in edema
- excess cells from the external stratum corneum of the epidermis are removed (since the stratum corneum should not be completely removed, it is normally present), there is a balance between cell synthesis and exfoliation, so the skin is renewed
- decreased tone of facial muscles
- the oval of the face is squeezed
- the complexion improves, the skin becomes even, radiant
- decreases the depth of wrinkles and folds
- decrease in "flights"
- the circulation of water, the main assistant in the fight for youth, returns to normal
- bags under the eyes are reduced
- the corners of the eyes and lips are raised
- aging processes slow down
What are the procedures for facial rejuvenation?
There are many cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation. An example of procedures that can contribute to facial rejuvenation:
- hardware cosmetology (laser)
- injection cosmetology
- grooming procedures
- home care cosmetics
The procedures give a different effect and the cosmetologist determines the most suitable for her according to the condition of the woman's skin.
Laser facial rejuvenation
Neodymium laser resurfacing
Indications
- prevention of aging, from 25-30 years
- fine wrinkles
- preparation for plastic surgery
- dull, sagging skin (reduced turgor) on the face
- acne - in an integrated approach
- enlarged pores
- redness of the face, rosacea
The laser heats a protein responsible for young skin, collagen, which causes the stimulation of fibroblasts, cells responsible for the synthesis of young collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin thickens, fine wrinkles are reduced, and the complexion improves.
A great advantage is the availability at any time of the year. The neodymium laser can be used in summer (unlike many other laser techniques).
How is it the procedure
During the procedure, you feel warmth or tingling, a slight burning sensation, which can last from several hours to up to a day. Most of the time, after the procedure, nothing is felt, there may be a little heat, but no more.
What are the results? How many sessions are needed?
The procedure has the peculiarity of a prolonged growth effect, so it is necessary to do4-6 sessions with an interval of 7-10 days. . . The number of procedures depends on the indications, the anatomical and physiological characteristics of a person, the severity of the clinical manifestations, the morphotype of aging and the response of the skin.
Performed the day before the event, this procedure will improve the color and luminosity of the skin.
In combination with what is most effective
- Biorevitalization
- Mesotherapy
- RF elevation
Three-level laser resurfacing
Three-level laser resurfacing is recommended in the following cases
- when the oval of the face has lost its clarity
- facial tissues "crawled" down
- superficial and deep wrinkles appeared
- there is a "double chin"
- the upper eyelids began to protrude, forming a crease
- the pores on the face widen and the surface of the skin is looser, flabby
How is the facial skin rejuvenation process?
- the impact goes simultaneously along three coordinates
- Smaller laser fractions, like fine threads, penetrate the tissues of the face. As a result, the skin in these places shrinks. It's really getting smaller
- The old collagen, which has already worked, is removed from the skin, making room for the young collagen fibers.
- The correct mechanisms for the intake and retention of moisture in the skin are restored.
- As a result, after 28 days the skin is renewed and we look rejuvenated and attractive.
Face after laser resurfacing: what are the results?
- The effect of excess skin on the face is eliminated.
- the skin is denser due to the appearance of new collagen fibers
- skin is 98% renewed in just 28 days
This is how laser facial rejuvenation occurs. Many women have already appreciated laser resurfacing of the skin around the eyes, as well as the entire face in general!
Lasertophoresis
In cosmetology, laser phoresis is also actively used. This is one of the laser facial skin rejuvenation methods.
This procedure is also called laser biorevitalization. It is aimed at improving the functioning of the skin cells of the face, its hydration.
This is due to the effects of hyaluronic acid. Its molecule has unique properties. It attracts water molecules to its surface and can hold them for a long time.
Imagine: a molecule of hyaluronic acid can contain 300 to 500 molecules of water.
Hyaluronic acid, injected by cold laser, is easily incorporated into the cell membrane and is retained there by the adhered water molecules. A colloidal hydrogel is formed, which is a natural filler of the intercellular space.
Thus, the environment for the functioning of fibroblasts is restored, microcirculation is improved, cell metabolism is activated, etc.
Indications
- dry, sagging skin
- age-related changes in the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, and hands
- dark circles under the eyes
- skin rehabilitation after sunburn, chemical peel procedures, laser skin resurfacing
- treat mild acne
- thin, dry skin
- dull complexion
Essence of the method
Due to laser radiation, cell membranes become excited and their permeability increases. Thus, the movement of biologically active substances in the tissue is activated, which are used for prophylactic purposes.
Therefore, for laser photophoresis, vitamin cocktails, hyaluronic acid and other nourishing agents for the skin are actively used.
results
- smoothing fine wrinkles and preventing the formation of new ones
- restoring the tone and elasticity of the face, neck and décolleté
- making the skin velvety and moderately hydrated
- removal of eyelid puffiness
- anti-inflammatory effect, reducing the appearance of acne
During the course of the procedure, a cumulative effect occurs, providing long-term hydration, skin regeneration, fine and wrinkled mesh disappears, fine wrinkles are smoothed, the skin relief becomes uniform and the visualization of the pores shrink.
How is it the procedure
Pain relief is not required for this procedure, as it is painless. The specialist cleanses the skin, applies a special gel with hyaluronic acid and active ingredients. Then there is an effect on the dermis - a nozzle with low-intensity laser radiation is used, whereby the preparations are injected into the deep layers of the skin. At the end of the procedure, a care agent is applied.
The duration of the procedure and the number of sessions is determined by the area treated, by the doctor during the consultation.
Non-surgical facial rejuvenation
Plasmolifting
Plasmolifting is a method of intradermal injection of the patient's own blood plasma, which leads to the activation of regenerative processes in the skin.
Plasmolifting for the face: indications
- photoaging
- hyperpigmentation
- acne and post-acne
- sensitive and "stressful" skin
- alopecia and hair loss
- seborrheic dermatitis
- scars and stretch marks
Essence of the method
It consists of the isolation of human blood plasma by centrifugation and its subsequent introduction into the area that requires restoration.
The patient's blood is drawn into a certified Plasmolifting tube. The autoplasma is removed by centrifugation and intradermal injections of the resulting drug are made into the treatment area.
Plasmolifting for the face: the pros
The use of plasmolifting in cosmetology allows you to start the processes of natural rejuvenation of the skin. Plasma growth factors stimulate fibroblasts to synthesize collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. As a result, the structure of the skin is improved, its tone and elasticity are increased and the relief is leveled.
In combination with what is most effective
- biorevitalization
- fractional photothermolysis
- laserotophoresis
- plastic outline
- chemical peels
- phototherapy
Rejuvenation at the cellular level - plasmolifting PRP
PRP therapy is a new technique for cellular rejuvenation of the face.
Indications for a course of PRP therapy procedures.
- decreased elasticity and firmness of the skin
- superficial and deep wrinkles
- dull complexion
- dry skin of the face
- acne, acne, scars
- pigmentation
- skin restoration after chemical and laser peel procedures
Rejuvenation technology
The restoration of aging skin is due to its own living platelets, our skin's "youth containers", rich in biologically active substances (growth factors).
Upon entering the skin, live platelets transfer metabolism to a youthful regimen, as a result of which:
- begins the synthesis of its own hyaluronic acid molecules
- The most powerful process of forming a 3D frame from collagen and elastin is launched.
- increases local immunity
The super effect of total rejuvenation of the skin is achieved by the combination of pure hyaluronic acid and its own enriched plasma.
PRP therapy: the Swiss method of rejuvenation at the cellular level
Visible and hidden results of PRP skin rejuvenation:
- instant filling of wrinkles and folds on the face
- formation of the skin structure from young, healthy collagen and elastin fibers
- tightening and tightening of the skin
- improving the firmness and elasticity of the facial skin
- activation of cell migration and division
- skin moisture from the inside
- improvement and alignment of the complexion
- the appearance of a healthy, youthful skin glow
SMAS elevation
A new word in the field of non-surgical skin lift.
SMAS-LIFTING, the most progressive way to LIFT facial skin, has become SAFE and EFFECTIVE.
The main mechanism of ultrasonic shock lifting (HIFU):
- The ultrasound wave passes through the skin and becomes very deep, in the musculo-ligamentous layer.
- There it focuses and heats the tissue, thus contracting the ligamentous apparatus.
- The ligaments become more dense and the oval of the face tightens, the gravity of the subcutaneous fat decreases.
- Additionally, collagen can be stimulated in the process using a surface sensor.
Fractional Facial Rejuvenation (Laser Fractional RF Lifting)
Who is fractional laser resurfacing suitable for?
- Are you over 30 years old
- you don't like wrinkles, folds, sagging
- you want to tighten and tighten the skin of your face
- do you want to look younger in a month
- you are looking for a comfortable technique that does not damage the skin and does not require prolonged rehabilitation
Why laser fractional RF lifting and not just RF lifting?
Fractional RF lift: the result on the face
After the procedure, the skin gradually restores the normal function of fibroblasts, skin cells that synthesize collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and other important components responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. Again, as in their youth, they begin to actively produce collagen. And you will see the result of rejuvenation already AFTER ONE MONTH. Also, this effect will only INCREASE over time and will last up to 1 year.
Due to its high efficiency, it is necessary to undergo only 3-4 procedures instead of 6-8, as in the case of a conventional RF lift.
When can the fractional RF survey be performed?
This procedure can be done at ANY TIME OF THE YEAR, even in summer, because this technique uses a COLD fractional laser that does not produce pigmentation.
Photorejuvenation for the treatment of the blood vessels of the face.
The photorejuvenation method is designed not only to eliminate wrinkles and affect the elasticity of the facial skin, but also to treat vascular changes and pigmentation. The procedure is based on the effect of light energy (IPL) on the skin and is considered gentle in relation to others.
Photorejuvenation: how does it work?
Photorejuvenation works in several directions at once:
- stimulates the improvement of the skin condition
- reduces rosacea with pigmentation
- has a positive effect on the appearance of the facial skin as a whole
The procedure takes no more than half an hour, but it is quite painful.
The main advantage of this procedure is the quick and safe removal of the blood vessels and the vascular network. Photorejuvenation can successfully treat conditions such as rosacea and rosacea.
The impact on the vessels and spider veins occurs at the level of the dermis. Radiation is absorbed by oxyhemoglobin, a natural pigment found in red blood cells. The light energy is converted into thermal energy, the walls of the container "seal" and it stops working.
Microcurrent therapy for facial rejuvenation.
For many years, microcurrents in cosmetology have not lost their popularity. Specialists actively use microcurrent lymphatic drainage to eliminate age-related changes, return clarity to the oval of the face with an edematous morphotype.
Microcurrent therapy is a physiotherapeutic procedure that affects the skin, lymph nodes, and muscle tissue with a low-power pulsed current with different frequency characteristics.
Microcurrent therapy differs from other hardware techniques in that microcurrents, which pass through aged or changed cells, restore and heal them. It turns out to be a very delicate effect. The current literally transfers a pulse to the cells for quality operation. According to specialist research, due to microcurrent therapy, the energy supply in the body's cells increases fivefold.
There is a slight effect on the lymphatic, circulatory, muscular systems and layers of the skin. Metabolic processes are restored, cellular activity is normalized. The results of the microcurrent therapy are the elimination of edema, improvement of skin color, improvement of the facial contour, improvement of the general tone of the face, improvement of regeneration and restoration of tissues. It is very important that the microcurrents do not cause a visible muscle contraction, since their action is very delicate.
Indications
- decreased skin tone
- swelling of the face
- fine wrinkles
- preparatory care before injection techniques, laser resurfacing, plastic surgery
- postoperative rehabilitation
How is microcurrent therapy performed?
A conductive gel (or cream) is applied to the face and neck. The cosmetologist conducts electrodes with special tips, performing movements in accordance with the generally accepted procedure for performing procedures, taking into account the structural features of the muscular and lymphatic systems.
Taking into account the age and initial state of the skin, an individual course of procedures of different frequency is selected.
Optimally 8-10 procedures 2-3 times a week.
Biorevitalization
Biorevitalization is an injection of hyaluronic acid. Its objective is active hydration and the general improvement of the condition of the skin. "Anti-wrinkle injections" have gained popularity for a reason, because their action soothes the skin very well, delays aging. The technique is also used to remove post-acne marks.
How does biorevitalization affect age spots?
The injections stop the development of pigmentation. The procedure does not remove the defect itself, but other methods are used to do so. However, it makes the spots less visible. The procedure is recommended after prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Below are the answers to some of the most common questions about the technique, including:
- how many procedures are needed
- when the effect becomes visible
- what are the indications for the procedure
- what types does the technique include
Indications
- dry and dehydrated skin
- fine wrinkles
- Reduction of the turgor and elasticity of the skin.
- unhealthy skin color
- before and after chemical peels
- before and after laser resurfacing
- before and after plastic surgery
- skin preparation for sunburn and rehabilitation after active sunburn
Essence of the method
With age, the body stops producing enough hyaluronic acid. Biorevitalization solves this problem. Natural, not chemically altered, hyaluronic acid is injected into the skin. The impact occurs at the cellular level, there is an active regeneration of elastin, collagen, the composition of the intercellular substance, which is responsible for hydration and nutrition of the skin, is normalized.
Biorevitalization: how much is the effect?
Biorevitalization inhibits the aging process, the skin is hydrated. Fine wrinkles disappear and the complexion also improves. This technique rejuvenates the skin from the inside, provides antioxidant protection and the aesthetic effect is visible almost instantly.
How is it the procedure
Immediately before biorevitalization, make-up removal and disinfection with a skin antiseptic are performed. Then, for 20-30 minutes, apply the anesthesia. During the procedure, smaller portions of the gel are injected with a syringe, and then the gel spreads naturally into the surrounding tissues.
Biorevitalization: when will the papules disappear?
As with any injection, there may be slight redness, itching, slight swelling; these signs disappear in a couple of hours. Hematomas and papules may also appear. They disappear after a few days.
In combination with what is most effective
- laser therapy
- RF elevation
- peel
- phototherapy
Biorevitalization includes several types, and each one aims to solve different problems:
- Hydroreserve - the introduction into the dermis of hyaluronic acid preparations in the form of a gel. Hydroreserve Recovery Session - Salvation for dry, dehydrated, aged skin, especially with the presence of wrinkles, crow's feet, folds on lips, nose, etc. it covers. The preparation contains hyaluronic acid and sodium succinate, a derivative of succinic acid, which improves metabolism in cells, respiration of tissues and gas exchange. Free radicals from aging processes are neutralized.
- Amino acids. It is based on the principle of amino acid replacement. The combined combination of amino acids in a strictly defined concentration and hyaluronic acid stimulates the maximum rate of production of its own collagen in the dermis.
- Peptide Another type of cell rejuvenation technique. Peptides are compounds of natural and synthetic origin, which are amino acids linked by a peptide bond. They have a positive effect on metabolic processes in cells, they are signaling molecules that trigger renewal processes in tissues.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a real find for those who want to effectively eliminate a number of cosmetic defects: dry skin, pigmentation, fine wrinkles, acne, post-acne, stretch marks, scars, dehydration of the skin and improve lymphatic drainage.
Patients who regularly undergo supportive procedures notice that the quality of the skin changes dramatically. And even care products fall on it in a completely different way and last much longer.
How is mesotherapy performed? How does mesotherapy work?
The essence of the method:
This technique is based on the technique of injecting a small amount of drugs into several layers of the skin. The main objective is to replenish the deficiency of vitamins, amino acids, microelements. In addition, even the deep layers of the skin are moistened, fat is burned, blood circulation and regeneration are improved.
Mesodissolution and mesoperfusion is one of the types of procedures. The specialist injects special mesotherapy cocktails in the area of fat accumulations to reduce their volume. Most of the time it is the neck and "double chin" area, the elbow area, the knees, the hip joints, the anterior abdominal wall, and the lateral surfaces of the abdomen. The needle is inserted to a depth of 6 to 13 mm.
Indications
- rosacea
- acne
- smooth fine wrinkles
- reduction of double chin and dark circles under the eyes
- correction of excess weight and cellulite
- correction of scars and stretch marks
- hair and scalp treatment
- skin pigmentation
- complexion improvement
- increasing the elasticity and firmness of the skin
How is it the procedure
Before continuing with the procedure, the skin is cleaned and disinfected. Then local anesthesia is administered.
At the injection site during or after the procedure, there may be slight redness, swelling, bruising, or pale skin. Traces of injections and papules at the injection site, slight pain when pressing - all this is the norm. It takes 1 to 3 to 7 to 10 days to recover after the procedure, no special treatment is required.
What not to do before beauty injections?
There are a number of limitations with any injection.
Within 12 hours of your procedure:
Limit the use of drugs and beverages that raise blood pressure and reduce blood clotting. That is, coffee, energy drinks, alcohol, sports supplements and non-steroidal painkillers (aspirin, paracetamol, ketanes) will have to be abandoned. Blood flow and bruising increase after the procedure.
For the same reason, 3 days before injections, it is better to exclude the intake of fish oil preparations (omega-3 fatty acids).
