A few decades ago, it was believed that aging was a process that could not be slowed down.However, cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation that beauticians offer in modern beauty salons prove the error of this statement, because with their help you can not only slow down the aging process of the skin, but also significantly improve its appearance.Today there are several dozen effective methods of skin rejuvenation (injection, hardware, mechanical) that have different mechanisms of action and benefits, the most popular of which are described below.
Chemical peeling – prevention and rejuvenation of the skin
Peeling is the most effective non-invasive rejuvenation procedure based on superficial burning of the skin with chemicals.Damage to the upper layers of the epidermis and dermis by aggressive chemical elements (fruit acids, phenol, enzymes, trichloroacetic acid) activates the process of self-regeneration and renewal of the skin, which allows you to eliminate wrinkles and age spots, normalize skin turgor and stop the aging process.
In a beauty salon, superficial, medium and medium peels are the most effective, as they stimulate the exfoliation of the epidermis, thereby renewing skin cells and activating its internal reserves.The depth of action, which depends on the concentration of the chemical, and the active composition of the peeling agent are selected by the cosmetologist regardless of the patient's skin type, his age and the indications for the procedure.
The cost of a chemical peel depends on the composition of the peel.
“Beauty” injections
In skin rejuvenation injection techniques, which cosmetologists call “beauty injections”, drugs are introduced by injection into the deep layers of the epidermis and dermis to activate the process of skin rejuvenation from the inside and eliminate signs of aging - smooth wrinkles, improve complexion, increase skin turgor and lighten pigmentation.There are many types of skin rejuvenation by injection, but the most effective methods include the following:
- Mesotherapy– Injections of mesotherapy cocktails into the depths of the mesoderm, which stimulate the function of the main structural elements of the epidermis and dermis, increase the protective properties of the epidermis and normalize the production of collagen and elastin;
- Biorevitalization– a rejuvenating injection procedure based on the introduction of special gels into the deep layers of the dermis, which moisturize the skin, increase the turgor of the collagen framework and eliminate the main signs of skin aging
- Contour plastic surgery– a technique for volumetric modeling and rejuvenation of facial skin, in which dense gel preparations (fillers) are introduced into the deep layers of the skin, filling wrinkles and restoring the volume of soft tissue;
- Botulinum toxin injections– a method based on the ability of botulinum toxin type A to block the process of neuromuscular transmission between cells and cause temporary paralysis of facial muscles (helps to smooth wrinkles and increase the turgor of skin fibers; the maximum effect of botulinum therapy can be achieved by combining the technique with other injection methods for skin rejuvenation);
- Plasma lifting– a type of mesotherapy – the technique is based on the introduction of the patient's own purified plasma into the deep layers of the dermis (the plasma is collected and purified before the session), which stimulates the work of the structural components of the dermis and activates the process of natural rejuvenation of skin cells;
- Ozone therapy and carboxytherapy– innovative methods of skin rejuvenation based on the injection into the dermis of a specially prepared solution of ozone (ozone therapy) or carbon dioxide (carboxysterpy), which saturates skin cells with oxygen, improves the function of fibroblasts and stimulates the production of natural hyaluronic acid.
In addition to the methods of injection rejuvenation of the skin, this also includes the procedure of thread lifting (thread lifting), in which special threads are inserted into the deep layers of the dermis, thereby lifting the soft tissues of the face and forming a dense frame that prevents sagging.The method is a radical way to combat the signs of aging and a safe, gentle alternative to plastic surgery.
The magic of hardware cosmetics
Hardware cosmetology has recently become more and more popular, since salon procedures based on the use of special cosmetology devices allow you to eliminate the main signs of skin aging in the shortest possible time and at the same time have a relatively low cost.
Among the hardware methods of skin care, the following deserve the greatest attention:
- Phototherapy– a technique for effective photorejuvenation of the dermis and epidermis, based on treating the skin with high-intensity light streams of different wavelengths (the procedure is absolutely painless and the effect after it is noticeable immediately);
- RF lifting– a method based on the use of bipolar high-frequency energy, which heats the dermis and stimulates the work of all its structural components, which helps to slow down the aging process, smooth wrinkles and normalize the turgor of skin fibers;
- Microcurrent therapy– a technique based on improving the functional activity of facial muscles by exposing muscle fibers to a highly pulsed electrical current (types of microcurrent therapy include darsonvalization, galvanotherapy, myostimulation, iontophoresis).
Laser skin rejuvenation techniques are especially popular among patients of cosmetologists - laser resurfacing, fractional photothermolysis and laser nanoperforation.The mechanism of action of the procedures is based on the ability of laser radiation to cause microdamage to the surface of the epidermis, thereby activating the process of natural restoration and rejuvenation of the skin.Laser facial care techniques are relatively expensive, but with their help you can significantly slow down the aging of the epidermis and eliminate wrinkles and other signs of age-related skin changes in the shortest possible time.
Skin aging is an inevitable process, but high-quality home care and regular visits to beauty salons to undergo cosmetic procedures correctly selected by a doctor can significantly slow it down.
