Massage helps keep you young. Ideally, it should be done by an experienced beautician, but self-massage is not ruled out.
An effective technique is plastic massage. Several types of shocks are provided - kneading, stroking, vibration. The program starts with surface effects and then moves into deep kneading.
Basic skills:
- stroking. Light stroking movements are performed in the direction of the least stretched line (the massage line).
- Kneading is superficial. It is performed with four fingers (except the thumb) and the motion is similar to drawing a spiral with small circles.
- Knead deeply. It is performed with five fingers and palm, and the pressure should be more.
- tapping. It is done with fingertips along all massage lines.
- vibration. It is performed with the lower part of the palm, and the movement is from the middle of the sternum along the collarbone to the ears and to the temples.
Before the session, the face is powdered with sterile talc - this is necessary to keep fingers from sliding over the skin.
Another technique is a complex massage with a spoon. For this procedure, you need to prepare two containers filled with hot and cold water, a few spoons, cosmetic oil.
The shock is created by the protruding part of the spoon. Use stroking, rubbing, and dab techniques. A silver spoon is recommended, but you can use a regular spoon. Apply warm oil to skin before session. The effect is produced alternately with hot and cold spoons, and the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
An effective way to rejuvenate the face without injections and surgery is facial muscle gymnastics. Learning to practice at home is not difficult, the main thing is the rules of the class.
There are different exercise sets. Here's one of them (10 reps of each movement):
- Air is drawn into the mouth, and the distillation is circulated from cheek to cheek, like a rolling ball. Clockwise first, then counterclockwise.
- Press firmly with your fingers on the corners of your lips. Pull your lips forward as if you want to kiss someone, overcoming the resistance of your fingers.
- Press the outer corners of the eyes with your fingers (close the eyelids). Open your eyes as wide as possible and raise your eyebrows slightly. Hold this position for 5 seconds, then lower your eyelids and relax your muscles.
- Place three fingers between your eyebrows and press firmly. Try to bring your brows together and frown, overcoming the resistance of your fingers.
- Open your mouth and try to pull your lips inward, as if hiding them behind your teeth. This action lifts the chin.
- Press the corners of your lips with your fingers and try to smile brighter.
- Pull your cheeks inward and inflate them with air.
You may feel a burning sensation in your skin when exercising. This is normal because the muscles work and tighten.
The salon offers a variety of ways to rejuvenate after the age of 55 without surgery. These are both traditional (massage, mask) and new (introduction of fillers, hardware exposure).
The essence of the non-surgical face and neck rejuvenation technique is to perform skin punctures and introduce synthetic threads to form a reinforcing frame. The effect of the program area lasts 3-4 years.
Thread lifts are recommended for sagging cheeks, the formation of a second chin, changes in facial contours, the appearance of wrinkles.
For the manufacture of wires, polymeric materials, silicones, various acids, platinum, gold are used. The diameter of the wire does not exceed the thickness of a human hair. With the introduction of threads, others can't feel it and can't see it.
The essence of this process is to expose the skin to pulsed light. Radiation is the quantum flux provided by bursts. The wavelengths used are 400-1400 nm. The effects of the program do not appear immediately, but 6-8 weeks after the course is completed. During this time, the collagen framework and skin structure are strengthened, the face is tightened, and fine wrinkles are smoothed out.
Light energy heats tissue and destroys light-sensitive substances. thereby:
- Age spots disappear and skin tone improves;
- increased swelling;
- Enhances the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin.
This technique is not suitable for getting rid of all age-related changes. Other procedures should be used to remove deep wrinkles and improve facial contours.
Laser resurfacing is a procedure that can stop aging. The bottom line is the effect of the laser on the epidermis. The top layer of cells is evaporated, which stimulates the regeneration process.
Grinding is one of the varieties of peeling. But in contrast to acid peels, the effect is deep. Only a certified master can perform this procedure.
This is a hardware program based on infrared radiation to the deep layers of the skin. It is performed using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The energy flow heats the deep layers of the skin to compaction temperature. As a result, the stretched collagen fibers are stretched, providing a firming effect.
This method is suitable for skin rejuvenation on the face, neck, décolletage, and other parts of the body. It is also used to fight cellulite.
An injection procedure that essentially introduces a special "cocktail" under the skin. Preparations include hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids.
With the introduction of mesococktails, the following changes have occurred:
- age spots disappear;
- improve skin tone;
- Eliminate dryness and smooth wrinkles;
- Relief was levelled.
Medications are given using very thin needles. Produces a large amount of minimally invasive, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, and improves blood microcirculation.
When planning rejuvenation without surgery, many women opt for the injection procedure. In cosmetology, different preparations are used for injection into the skin:
- Hyaluronic acid binds to peptides;
- botulinum toxin;
- Calcium Collagen Hydroxyapatite.
Selected drugs are administered by injection. Use a very thin injection needle.
Rejuvenate the face and neck by introducing a special oxygen-ozone cocktail. After the operation, the face will look completely new, and wrinkles and acne marks will disappear. This technique stimulates the production of collagen.
An at-home alternative to ozone therapy is to treat the face with hydrogen peroxide. However, external exposure is not as effective as the injection technique.
Using fractional laser irradiation technology, facial rejuvenation can be performed effectively after 60 years without surgery. In terms of effectiveness, the procedure can be compared to using stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
It is necessary to perform the procedure in an aesthetic clinic with the corresponding certificate. Unprofessional use of lasers may cause burns and other adverse effects.
Fractional laser exposure is a unique surgical-free face rejuvenation method with many advantages:
- no severe pain;
- Even after one procedure, the effect is obvious;
- no negative effects;
- short recovery period.
An important advantage is the affordable price (8-10 thousand rubles) and remarkable efficiency. The procedure addresses several beauty concerns at once - smoothing wrinkles, tightening, and eliminating post-acne scars.
Fractional laser exposure is recommended in the presence of the following cosmetic defects:
- wrinkles, including deep wrinkles;
- sagging skin, loss of clear oval shape of the face;
- scars, scars, spider veins;
- Large pores, acne;
- black spot.
But there are also contraindications. They must be taken into account because at age 50 not everyone is iron healthy. Laser skin rejuvenation is prohibited in the following cases:
- Large inflamed areas of the face;
- skin infection;
- psoriasis, eczema;
- Any localized malignant tumor;
- heart disease;
- epilepsy;
- immunodeficiency state;
- Nervous system disease;
- Severe allergic disease.
The patient should warn the beautician of the presence of any chronic disease. Based on this, experts decide which technology can be used.
The technique involves the effect of a laser beam on the deeper layers of the skin. Since the beam is split into many small beams, only certain micro-areas are affected, the rest of the tissue remains intact. In the affected area, cells are "burned", thereby stimulating regeneration processes, collagen and elastin synthesis.
Non-ablative exposure methods are recommended for women over 50 years of age. It differs in that the deeper layers of the dermis are involved in this process. This even smoothes out deep wrinkles.
In the first week after exposure, the skin becomes inflamed. You may notice:
- During the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- During the first 1-2 days - redness;
- Days 2-3 - Peeling for 4-5 days.
During this month, the skin is particularly sensitive to the sun, so apply a protective cream before going out.
The effects of the procedure become apparent after the peeling has stopped, i. e. after about a week. Wrinkles are less deep, skin tightens and face looks fresh. But to achieve noticeable results, you need to take a course. Their numbers are determined individually.
Professional beauticians will assist in choosing the appropriate rejuvenation method.
After 50 years, you will not be able to achieve good results when using:
- light peel;
- makeup mask;
- BBL face rejuvenation.
These treatments are suitable for young women over the age of 30. Fifty or even sixty years from now, technologies that produce visible lift and smooth wrinkles are needed.
Reviews of the facial rejuvenation technology have been mixed: there are many positive opinions, but there are also people who don't like the procedure.
first review
As we age, wrinkles and visible age spots appear. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use non-surgical techniques. Beauticians recommend fractional laser rejuvenation. I am satisfied with the surgery, I have no severe pain and bruising. It's already day 6 and the face looks fine, albeit more rosy than usual. It can be said to have results - eyelids tightened, wrinkles became smaller, small pigment spots disappeared, but the big ones just became paler. I will repeat this process later.
second instance
I am terrified of plastic surgery, so I take great care of my skin. But after the age of 50, the face "slumps", with cheeks, a second chin, and mesh wrinkles. I chose fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it was so painful for me, tears rolled from my eyes, I could barely stand this execution. I wake up in the morning scared of what I see in the mirror - the face of a homeless woman being beaten. Somehow survived for 3 days and then it was fine. But it was only two weeks later that she could actually "get out". My under eye wrinkles are gone, the oval is more defined and the nasolabial folds are less deep. The effect is not bad, but the second time for the sake of beauty, I can't bear the pain.
