If you believe these ads, there are many fast and "magic" cosmetics and procedures in the world that women can use to permanently remove wrinkles, cellulite and unhealthy skin tone. But is it really so? Unfortunately, there are many services that are completely useless.
In addition, even those effective beauty techniques should not be abused. Some of them pose potential health hazards and must be used with caution and go to verified salons and clinics.
The most useless beauty treatment
This may seem surprising, but the number of absolutely useless programs is now at least close to ten. Services that impose such manipulations on women pursue the goal of rapid profitability. Manufacturers deliberately add pleasant fragrances to their products and expose them in exquisite packaging so that people can buy as much as possible.
Women should never spend money and expect a real result:
- All anti-wrinkle products (creams, lotions, masks). Unfortunately, the aging process is irreversible and cannot be reversed, no matter what advertisers say. Over time, skin cells lose moisture, which is why wrinkles appear. Even modern cosmetics developed using plant hormones and stem cells do not have "magic power", but only moisturize the skin and improve its appearance. You must use such cosmetics regularly, and noticeable effects will appear no earlier than one month after you start using them;
- The remedy "from dark circles under the eyes". If anti-wrinkle creams have at least some moisturizing effect, these drugs are common pacifiers. The fact is that the continuous appearance of dark circles under the eyes of different colors and shades indicates frequent lack of sleep and chronic diseases. At best, the appearance of dark circles indicates that the blood vessels are close to the upper layer of the skin. You need to deal with chronic diseases or get enough sleep;
- All tonics and lotions. They do not contain any nutrients. They are composed of dyes, water, alcohol and flavoring agents. Professional beauticians say that if a person uses high-quality cleansers, he does not need to buy any lotion;
- Cellulite remedy. In medicine, there is a diagnosis-fatty lipodystrophy. In the case of severe metabolic disorders and lymphatic drainage, there will be obvious cellulite manifestations. No creams and wraps can penetrate deep into the skin, where this process takes place. The early stages of cellulite are completely natural, safe and almost invisible. They can be easily removed through weight loss and systematic exercise. For severe lipodystrophy cases, appropriate treatment must be taken to reduce performance;
- Frosted and peeled. The manufacturer claims that they can gently remove all dead particles on the skin, however, our skin itself can renew itself perfectly without the use of additional funds;
- Products for privacy and hygiene. Contrary to advertisements, they will not homogenize the PH environment in private places, nor will they prevent the appearance of diseases in the genital area. Regularly maintain hygiene, using ordinary soap is enough, without spending money to buy expensive and unnecessary gels;
- Creams, ointments and peels to remove stretch marks (dermatoglyphs). Since postpartum stretch marks are scarring, there is no ointment to deal with them. In this case, even lasers or plastics are far from always effective, so it is best to give up using other virtual tools immediately;
- Cosmetics for breast enhancement. Another "scam", it cannot stimulate the growth of breast tissue in any way. Breast size depends entirely on genes and can only be changed with plastic surgery;
- A means to thicken eyebrows and hair growth. Just like breast size, the density of eyebrows and hair depends on genetics, and no amount of cream can change this.
Types of cosmetic surgery
There are some beauty salon treatments that can produce real results. These include:
- Mesotherapy. A special formula in the form of a cocktail is injected into the facial skin using microneedles. The beautician chooses the medicine according to personal situation;
- Face and neck contours. It aims to solve aesthetic problems through the use of fillers (dermal fillers). The duration of the filling is different. They contain hyaluronic acid. It should be completely disintegrated after 4-12 months without any side effects;
- Botox. One of the "oldest" but effective cosmetic surgery based on botulinum toxin. This is one of the most effective ways to eliminate expression lines. The introduction of botulinum toxin prevents nerve impulses entering the facial muscles. Muscles relax, wrinkles disappear temporarily;
- Chemical peeling. There are different levels: from shallow to deep. Use chemical burns to remove the surface layer of the skin, smooth the flat area, and remove various defects;
- Plastic surgery. Unlike other operations, it is a series of mature surgical interventions performed by surgeons on the face and body.
Cosmetic procedures at home
You can perform some beauty operations at home. This will save you time and money:
- Vacuum cupping massage. Allow the use of traditional medical tanks. The skin is pre-lubricated with oil, and the delivered jar gradually moves from the feet to the knee and hip area. Session duration-10-15 minutes;
- Steam cleaning. Completely replace the same procedure in the salon. You need a pot of chamomile tea and a towel to cover your face and head. To prevent burns, apply cream on your face and wash your face with cold water after massaging.
Auspicious Day for Plastic Surgery
You can choose any day for surgery, but you should pay attention to the moon phases:
- new moon. At this time, the moon cannot be seen, and the human energy potential is weakened, so surgery is not recommended;
- The 1st and 2nd quarters of the growth phase. The best time for plastic surgery;
- Full moon. Generally speaking, it has a negative impact on people, so it is recommended not to go to the salon;
- The 3rd and 4th quarters of the monthly loss. A good time for facial cleansing, especially medical procedures.
In addition, please be aware of phenomena such as lunar eclipses and solar eclipses, because procedures should not be performed during this period.
Dangerous cosmetic surgery
Although effective, the potential dangers may be:
- Botox;
- Hyaluronic acid
- Suture with thread.
Botulinum toxin contains a dangerous toxin that affects the nervous system. Of course, you shouldn't give up this procedure completely, but you can do it 1-2 times a year instead of more frequently. Otherwise, the venom will accumulate under the skin and may even be fatal. In addition, frequent use of botulinum toxin can cause muscle cramps, up to paralysis and facial asymmetry.
Hyaluronic acid sometimes remains in the tissues, accumulating fluid. The result is facial deformities and the need for surgery. As for the use of sutures to correct the shape of the face and cheekbones, subcutaneous fat may leave scars and metabolic disorders.
In pursuit of beauty, one should not lose one's mind. First of all, you need to learn to distinguish between effective procedures and deception, and do not abuse those potentially dangerous operations.
