Modern women and middle-aged men look much younger than their peers from decades ago. The reason is not only the improvement of living conditions without tiring labor, but also the wide range of possibilities for cosmetology, where a large number of effective and safe skin regeneration methods exist.
To visibly reduce the signs of skin aging and slow down the aging process, it doesn't need to be under the surgeon's knife at all. Depending on the client's specific concerns and age, salon specialists choose from a variety of anti-aging options, including hardware, injections and cosmetic procedures. Let's detail the most popular salon rejuvenation methods.
When to Use Non-Surgical Skin Rejuvenation Methods
The skin on the face and neck and décolleté area needs special attention and professional care when:
- Dull, grayish skin tone;
- age pigmentation;
- Sagging, loss of skin elasticity;
- Imitation and static wrinkles;
- Loss of eyelids, eyebrows, lip corners (gravitational ptosis);
- Fat packs in the cheek area;
- double chin;
- paint bags and nasolacrimal grooves;
- dark circles.
The most effective anti-aging methods or complex anti-aging procedures will help you choose an esthetician. Experts prescribe a single anti-aging program and rejuvenation course.
Rejuvenation Beauty Injection
Intradermal and subcutaneous injections are minimally invasive skin rejuvenation methods that provide dramatic and long-lasting results. Popular types of antiaging injection procedures include:
- Bioregeneration and Mesotherapy- Injection of hyaluronic acid and meso cocktail that improves the condition of the facial skin and slows down the aging process of the dermal tissue. This method is also popular among young girls and men;
- BotoxAims to rejuvenate facial muscles and smooth wrinkles by immobilizing facial muscles with intradermal injections of botulinum toxin;
- filling injection- Intradermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid or polylactic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite. The most common in cosmetology is the hyaluronic acid filler, which varies in depth of injection. The injectable anti-aging biogel is used to fill in superficial, medium and deep wrinkles, correct facial contours and replenish volume lost with age. For injectable skin rejuvenation, reducing the signs of aging, biodegradable fillers are introduced, firstly due to the fillers to create volume, and then to maintain the rejuvenating effect due to the initiation of the natural process of collagen and elastin production;
- lipolysis injection- Divides the fat cells of the cheeks, cheekbones, and chin.
Visible signs of aging, anti-agingthread embedding– Bioreinforcement with absorbable threads in the lower third of the face. Another popular injectable skin rejuvenation method isplasma boost(platelet-rich plasma), which infuses platelet-rich plasma from your own blood into the skin layers.
Facial Rejuvenation Procedures
Modern hardware beauty can not only erase the first signs of aging, but also restore the vitality of the skin for a decade. Depending on the specific problem and the depth of aging skin manifestations, an esthetician may recommend the following anti-aging procedures:
- Photo and Laser Skin Rejuvenation, in which an anti-aging effect is achieved thanks to the heating of the dermis with light rays and activation of the skin's natural regeneration processes. Photorejuvenation recommended for women and men aged 25-45 has a fairly mild skin rejuvenation effect and aims to correct certain aesthetic defects: wrinkles, age spots, after-acne. Laser resurfacing (partial lifting) is more aggressive and is recommended for severe signs of aging in the 40+ category;
- Non-injectable biological regeneration or mesotherapy. For an anti-aging operation, a hyaluronic acid bioactivator and a mesotherapy cocktail are used. Penetration of useful ingredients into the skin is carried out by laser exposure;
- SMAS improvement. Revolutionary anti-aging technology deserves special attention. The essence of the non-invasive SMAS lifting procedure is the focused action of ultrasound on the muscular aponeurotic system underlying the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous fat. During rejuvenation, tissue renewal occurs in the deep layers, and the result is that the oval of the face is tightened, sagging is eliminated, the second chin is removed, and the corners of the eyes, lips and eyebrows are lifted. The rejuvenation procedure is a one-off, performed annually;
- RF Boost- A regenerative technique based on the effect of high-frequency currents on the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The effect of skin regeneration occurs due to the heating of the tissue and the stimulation of its own production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid;
- frozen boost- Cold rejuvenation procedure. In this case, the facial skin is treated with a special probe tip cooled to -15°C as a stimulator of active regenerative processes, slowing down aging.
The hardware skin rejuvenation method incorporated by beauticians into a complex anti-aging regimen, which also includes basic procedures—Ultrasonic cleaning and laser carbon stripping.
Facial Rejuvenation Beauty
In addition to hardware and injection methods, cosmetology also uses simpler but equally effective procedures to rejuvenate facial skin. These include, in particular:
- chemical peels;
- Rejuvenation skin care program with a range of professional cosmetic products according to skin type;
- massage.
Acid base peel- A very popular anti-aging procedure that is especially effective at the first signs of aging in the facial skin. The method works by peeling off the upper stratum corneum of the skin and damaging the living tissue of the epidermis. The deeper layers of the skin are not affected. Skin microburns lead to increased growth of collagen and elastin fibers and accelerate the tissue renewal process. To correct age-related changes, a median peel is used. Deep peels involve the use of highly toxic agents and can only be done in specialized clinics and only once in a lifetime.
For lifting and facial rejuvenation in beauty salons, variousTypes of massage:
- manual classic;
- Kruger;
- Myofascia;
- Sculpture;
- cheek;
- Spanish massage.
Rejuvenating facial massages vary in technique. In general, their essence lies in the normalization of metabolic processes, elimination of puffiness and stimulation of cell regeneration.
A cosmetic complex to rejuvenate facial skin includes cleansing, exfoliation, anti-aging lotions and serums.
Choosing Anti-Aging Non-Surgical Methods by Aging Type
Estheticians classify aging of the facial skin into 4 types and choose corrective procedures for care and rejuvenation accordingly.
- Fine wrinkle aging type. With this type, the face is full of wrinkles, age spots, and the contour of the face will not change. To combat age-related changes, chemical peels, mesotherapy procedures are prescribed. Photorejuvenation and Botox injections are very effective.
- gravity aging. A characteristic is the deformation of the oval of the face (the presence of a second chin, the chin). There are also nasolabial folds and omission of eyelids. The most effective rejuvenation methods are massage, radio wave lifting, SMAS lifting, lipolysis injections.
- tired agingIn this type of person, age-related changes manifest as unhealthy skin tone, eye bags and nasolacrimal trough formation, and slight drooping of the eyebrows, eyelids, and lip corners. Fillers, peels, and hardware lifting techniques are used as effective rejuvenation methods.
- muscular agingIn this case, the signs of skin aging are "crow's feet" around the eyes, hyperpigmentation, fine lines around the mouth, pronounced tissue sagging, and no deformation of the facial oval. For muscular aging, peels, Botox and light therapy are recommended to rejuvenate the skin.
The type of aging is not the only criterion for choosing a rejuvenation method, although it is important. Skin after 30 years needs anti-aging care, the most effective anti-aging procedures or a combination of them will help you choose an esthetician.
