Modern women want to look young and attractive at any age. Cosmetology opens up wide opportunities for this. To prevent premature aging, you need professional care at a young age.
Modern anti-aging techniques are minimally invasive, have a minimum of contraindications, do not require long-term rehabilitation, and allow you to quickly achieve noticeable results.
One of the most common questions estheticians are asked is: what is the best anti-aging treatment? There is no definite answer, since methods must be selected individually, taking into account the type and condition of the skin, and age. Often, to achieve lasting results it is necessary to combine different techniques.
Let's consider what anti-aging procedures are offered by modern cosmetology clinics, who they are suitable for and how they act on the skin and soft tissues.
Who needs anti-aging treatments?
In most cases, patients aged 35+ are referred to correct age-related changes. But for some women, the skin begins to fade earlier, and the first wrinkles may appear even at 20-25 years old.
Anti-aging procedures are necessary when the following signs appear:
- wrinkles;
- blurred facial contours;
- sagging skin;
- bags under the eyes;
- drooping corners of the eyes and lips;
- unhealthy skin color.
The sooner you contact a cosmetologist, the greater the chances of maintaining youth for many years. You should know that deep wrinkles cannot be completely removed using non-surgical techniques, so you need to take care of your face from a young age and do supportive procedures.
Principles of action of anti-aging techniques
To prevent premature aging, procedures that improve microcirculation and provide lymphatic drainage are widely used. This helps provide cells with oxygen and nutrients and quickly eliminate metabolic products.
Many techniques are aimed at activating one’s own regeneration processes. The procedures stimulate cell renewal and the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers.
Procedures that cleanse the skin get rid of keratinized scales, give the epidermis a fresh, healthy appearance, and launch renewal processes.
Some drugs, such as Botox, block the work of facial muscles, which helps smooth out wrinkles. You can also mask skin folds using fillers that replenish the missing volume.
Another anti-aging technique is deep hydration with hyaluronic acid preparations.
Let's consider rejuvenating techniques that have different mechanisms of action.
Mesotherapy
This is an injection rejuvenating technique. There are many meso cocktails containing vitamins and nutrients that our skin needs. Mesococktails can contain not only vitamins, but also hyaluronic acid and collagen.
Often a combination of several drugs is used in one patient. This allows you to combine rejuvenating and healing effects. With the help of mesotherapy, you can improve your complexion, get rid of acne, eliminate pigmentation, and not only rejuvenate the skin.
Botulinum therapy
This popular procedure can combat fine lines and wrinkles that can appear even at a young age.
The essence of the method is the local injection of botulinum toxin, which can block the work of facial muscles. As a result, a certain muscle does not move, and the skin fold in this part of the face is smoothed out. The effect is reversible; over time, the work of facial muscles is completely restored.
Laser resurfacing
Erbium laser is widely used to eliminate age-related changes. During the procedure, the top layer of skin is "burned out", which triggers restoration processes. As a result, wrinkles disappear, the skin becomes more elastic, complexion improves, and pigmentation disappears.
Neodymium laser is also used for rejuvenation. Unlike erbium, it penetrates deep into soft tissues and has a thermal effect. This helps to compact existing collagen fibers and activate the synthesis of new ones. The procedure is effective for blurred facial contours and soft tissue ptosis.
Thread lift
This procedure is called thread lifting. During the procedure, threads are placed through small punctures under the skin, which form a frame, promote the synthesis of collagen fibers, and dissolve over time. This procedure gives excellent results that last for at least two years.
RF lifting
Radiofrequency lifting is one of the most popular anti-aging procedures. The device allows you to influence the deep layers of the skin, triggering the natural processes of collagen fiber synthesis. This procedure triggers natural regenerative mechanisms, mobilizes the body's reserves, due to which the skin is gradually tightened and renewed.
The procedure is effective, safe, and allows you to work not only on the face, but also on the body. The results after radiofrequency lifting last for several years.
BBL therapy
The technique is based on the action of infrared radiation, which promotes cell renewal at the DNA level. The technique has a pronounced rejuvenating effect, and also improves the condition of the skin, helps get rid of spider veins, and even out the color of the epidermis.
The technique is non-invasive, the procedure is well tolerated, and long-term rehabilitation is not required.
Plasmolifting
The technique, based on the introduction of the patient’s own plasma, is widely used in cosmetology and medicine. The administration of purified plasma is safe and does not cause an allergic reaction. The technique triggers regenerative processes, therefore helping to eliminate scars and smooth out wrinkles.
Ozone therapy
The technique involves injecting a mixture that includes ozone and oxygen. The procedure relieves inflammation, has an antioxidant effect, and improves blood circulation. Thanks to this, the cells are saturated with oxygen and nutrients, and metabolic products are removed. The skin renews itself faster and takes on a fresh, healthy appearance.
Face massage
The procedure allows you to model your face, makes its contours clearer, and improves skin tone and elasticity. After a course of procedures, wrinkles are noticeably smoothed out, facial contours become clearer, skin color improves, and swelling disappears.
To maintain beauty and youth, it is recommended to undergo a massage course of 6-12 procedures annually.
Peelings
These procedures can not only cleanse the skin, but are also widely used in a complex of anti-aging procedures. During the session, the upper keratinized layer of the epidermis is removed, thanks to which renewal processes are launched. Peeling helps improve blood circulation and tissue respiration, so recovery processes are more active.
Cosmetologists offer chemical and laser peels. The technique and depth of exposure are selected individually depending on the condition of the skin.
Contour plastic
Contour plastic surgery allows you to model your face, smooth out wrinkles, and fill in missing volume. This is an injection technique that involves injecting hyaluronic acid under the skin. This substance attracts moisture, so it allows you to add volume and smooth the skin.
The result lasts for 1-1. 5 years, then the procedure can be repeated if necessary. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is present in the human body, so its administration does not cause allergic reactions.
Anti-aging cosmetics
To maintain youth, you need to take care of your skin daily. Entrust the choice of care products to your cosmetologist. He will individually select cosmetics, taking into account your skin type, and recommend high-quality products that really produce results.
You should know that products for home use are not as effective as professional cosmetics, so regularly contact a cosmetologist for professional care procedures.
Is it possible to combine anti-aging techniques?
To achieve the effect, cosmetologists often combine different anti-aging techniques. Most procedures are perfectly combined with each other. It is advisable to combine techniques that have different mechanisms of action.
