Timely use of skin care products can delay the appearance of age-related changes in the face, but not stop it. When the skin loses its elasticity and firmness and the contour "floats", you have to find a way to correct the situation. Modern aesthetics offer alternatives to radical surgical methods. We will discuss facial rejuvenation with the help of various lifting procedures.
At a certain age, the skin becomes loose, puffy, and more wrinkled. The face appears tired due to drooping eyebrows and eyelids and the appearance of the nasolabial folds. The visual signs of aging that others can see don't add optimism to women.
All of these points are associated with changes in the superficial musculoaponeurotic system SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). This is an area of facial musculature that stretches over time, causing a "drop" in contour. The muscles can no longer keep the skin in good shape. Hardware Aesthetics then facilitates a safe, effective and less invasive cosmetic procedure for skin tightening. These include technologies such as the SMAS facelift.
What is a face lift
The easiest way to tighten your skin is to use a cream. If you stock up on precious jars, you can do a daily facelift at home. It's much cheaper than hardware beauty and, well, less scary.
The face lift cream is divided into day and night with a narrow purpose - anti-aging. They can also vary significantly in consistency (gel-like, light, or fairly dense). Note the ingredients: collagen, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, fats and vitamins must be present. Beautician reviews of some facial beauty lift products are positive if you start using it from age 30 and use it regularly.
Natural masks also have a slight lifting effect, and you can safely combine them with advanced cosmetic development. For example, oatmeal and olive oil face masks. Another option is a strawberry mask (+ egg white and a few drops of apricot oil) or cucumber (+ white clay and lemon juice).
Facial lifting serums are popular among beauty lovers to help fight wrinkles and tighten ovals. The product must also contain ingredients needed for rejuvenation, such as creams and peptide complexes. Such a face-lift at home is an indispensable part of Korean skin care.
Many women use facial massagers for face lifts. For example, jade can reduce swelling and support lymphatic function. It's great for building and building dense muscles like the masticatory muscles.
If you decide to have a facelift in a beautician's office, you need to prepare for the procedure. Remember some important rules.
- You should quit smoking two weeks before your facelift (as it affects circulation), and after that, during recovery.
- Do not take blood thinners for two weeks.
- The day before the operation, it is recommended to wash your hair to avoid infection and get a good night's sleep.
- On average, facelifts last from 1 to 4 hours. Anesthesia is used according to complexity.
- After surgery, it is necessary to stop drinking and avoid stress for a period of time.
Types of face lifts
Plastic surgery occurs when age-related changes can no longer be corrected with cosmetic surgery.
round skin
With circular tightening, the doctor uses only the top layer of the skin. That's why it's often called superficial. Lifting the face and neck in this way can help smooth out wrinkles and correct oval shape. Mostly we are talking about corrections in:
- the middle of the face;
- frontotemporal region;
- the outside of the eyebrows;
- cheek;
- the area around the corner of the eye;
- The front and sides of the neck.
You will need to be hospitalized after the surgery, and the stitches will be removed a week later. The swelling should disappear completely after eight weeks. During this time, your doctor may recommend massage and physical therapy. You can enjoy photos taken before and after cosmetic surgery. Results will become clear after about 6 months. The main nuances of the circular elevator:
- It is considered the most traumatic and severe of all interventions.
- The effect lasts for years - it is best to repeat it every ten years.
- Not recommended for women under the age of 40.
- A subcutaneous lift affects only the upper layers of the skin - for minor corrections.
- Smas-lifting involves not only tightening facial skin, but also fat and muscle tissue. This is a deeper intervention to correct strong shortcomings.
During recovery, do not wash your hair for a week, and sleep with your face up for the first three days. Also, refrain from exercising, going to swimming pools and saunas for three months.
Endoscopic cosmetic surgery
Endoscopic lift solves the problem of sagging eyebrows and eliminates facial wrinkles between the forehead and between the eyebrows. It also corrects volume loss in the cheekbones area and eliminates the nasolabial folds. In addition, lifts of the upper third of the face are compatible with blepharoplasty and lifts of the lower third of the face and neck. In this method, small incisions are made in the scalp, rather than long incisions, and there is no skin removal technique. No need to shave.
If the age-related changes are of moderate severity, the procedure will be effective and as painless as possible. This will help rejuvenate the face. But if there are significant deviations, you will have to turn to the previous method. The recovery time for a facelift is about the same as for a facelift. and a ban on the recovery period. Nuances of the endoscopic approach:
- There is no visible scarring, but after a while, the tugging sensation in the seam area may be disturbed.
- Allowed for use by patients between the ages of 30 and 45.
- The anti-aging effects achieved will last for five years or more - depending on individual characteristics.
As with circular facelifts, endoscopic interventions are not acceptable for people with diabetes, heart and blood vessel disease, thyroid disease, internal organs and other health problems.
Threaded face lift
It is considered a minor surgery using threads of different materials. They strengthen and support the skin framework. Instead, when they dissolve, collagen appears, improving skin elasticity. This procedure allows you to remove deep wrinkles, correct facial ovals and lift the corners of the eyes and lips. In surgery, this facelift is arguably the best.
The thread is inserted under the skin through a needle. The doctor makes an incision and stretches the skin to hold the thread in the tissue. After some time, connective fibers form around them. They will hold the face in a taut state. Other nuances of the process:
- The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
- The surgery lasts about 40 minutes, not more than an hour.
- Girls over 30 are allowed, but not for women over 45.
- Obesity is a strict contraindication - the thread will not be able to withstand the load of a range of tissues.
- There is no recovery period, and the puncture marks disappear within three days.
- It's important to take care of your face in terms of facial expressions - no laughing, crying and expressing violent emotions for a few days.
Non-surgical face lift
Every woman wants to look better and younger without surgery. Also, choose programs with long-lasting effects. We will discuss the most effective.
Radio wave face lift (RF-lifting)
Compare the process to a rejuvenated apple, as the changes are almost immediately visible. With the help of high-frequency and vacuum radio waves, doctors can correct the following deficiencies:
- skin folds and wrinkles;
- the second chin, the "floating" oval of the face;
- large pores;
- Atrophic scars, after acne;
- Pigmentation and redness;
- Crow's feet and eye bags;
- Tighten loose and loose skin.
Judging by the reviews, most patients are satisfied with the results after radiofrequency facelift. About 90% of women notice rapid results of rejuvenation and skin firming, and these changes are visible to the naked eye. This method has many advantages:
- Any time of the year.
- The procedure takes about 20 minutes and does not require anesthesia.
- The pleasant warmth behind the affected area makes the process attractive.
- The effects last for several months and last for about two years.
- There is no age limit.
In addition to cosmetic surgery, radio frequency lifting of the body can also be performed. Doctors can correct problem areas such as the buttocks, abdomen, shoulders, and neck. Also gets rid of excess skin that appears due to intense weight loss. The price of this facelift varies depending on the area you want to correct.
Face lifts are commercially available and can be used at home. They are not as efficient as professionals. Also, care needs to be taken when exposing to vacuum. However, this should be done by an expert.
Ultrasonic Facial Lift
Most procedures are no more than a millimeter and a half deep and remain within the skin. Ultrasonic face lifts remain the only hardware technology capable of deep tissue tightening - the SMAS level. This method can use up to 5 mL. It removes "flies", second chin, sagging skin, loosens it evenly and tightens neck muscles. The nuances of curly braces are as follows:
- The procedure lasts about an hour and is moderately painful.
- After the course of treatment, redness and slight swelling of the skin may occur.
- After the SMAS lift, the face continues to look younger - the effects are believed to be cumulative and grow for about five months.
- Provides stable results for 5 years after a single session.
Needle face lift
With the help of this hardware program, radio wave energy is delivered to the skin layer from 0. 5 to 3. 5 mm. The microneedle penetrates to the depth set by the doctor. Because of this, the skin shrinks and thickens immediately. After a month and a half, the process of regeneration and synthesis of new collagen begins.
Multi-needle facelifts are performed in the form of a cream under local anesthesia. You can live without it. Before this, clean the skin with an antiseptic. The doctor performs the procedure using a disposable cartridge with a needle, and the type of nozzle is discussed during the consultation. The microneedles are gold-plated. Lifting can solve many problems.
- Tighten the skin around the eyes.
- Corrects the contours of the face and skin.
- Aligns the relief of the skin and reduces pores.
- Heals scars and stretch marks.
- Increase skin elasticity.
- Remove spider veins.
For about two days, the face may remain red and swelling is noticeable. Results are visible immediately, but skin condition improves within a month. This is due to the creation of a collagen-elastin scaffold.
Facial Plasma Lift
The method is injectable and involves introducing platelet-rich plasma of his own blood into the patient. Human plasma contains fibrin and collagen. It is non-allergenic and biocompatible with tissues in need of repair.
This method kicks off the natural anti-aging process. The surgery is performed without anesthesia, and there is usually no swelling after surgery, only small bruises are possible. Firming the skin corrects the following deficiencies:
- unwanted pigmentation;
- Loss of elasticity, swelling worsens;
- Visible imitation of wrinkles;
- age folds on the skin;
- a grey face and a "tired" appearance;
- post-acne and acne;
- scars and stretch marks on the skin;
- Hair loss and poor condition.
This method works on any defective part of the body. 18 to 65 year olds can do it - better in winter and fall. The positive effects of the facelift were evident after 10 days. After the first injection, someone started to like the reflection in the mirror. As with all procedures, results depend on age, skin condition and physical characteristics.
