A few decades ago, it was believed that aging was a process that could not be slowed down.However, cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation, offered by cosmetologists 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 skin rejuvenation methods (injection, hardware, mechanical), which have different mechanisms of action and advantages, and the most popular will be described below.
Chemical peeling - prevention and rejuvenation of the skin
Peeling is the most effective non-invasive rejuvenation procedure, which is based on superficial burns to the skin with chemicals.Damage to the upper layers of the epidermis and dermis by aggressive chemical elements (fruit acids, phenols, enzymes, trichloroacetic acid) activates the process of self-regeneration and skin renewal, which allows you to remove wrinkles and age spots, normalize skin turgor and stop the aging process.
In the beauty salon, the most effective is the superficial and median skin, which stimulates the exfoliation of the epidermis, because the dermal cells are renewed and their internal reserves are activated.The depth of exposure, which depends on the concentration of chemicals, and the active composition of the exfoliating agent is chosen by the cosmetologist independently based on the patient's skin type, his age and the indications for the procedure.
The cost of chemical peels depends on the composition of the peel.
"Beauty" injection.
The injection technique for skin rejuvenation, which cosmetologists call "beauty" injections, involves the introduction of drugs into the inner layers of the epidermis and dermis through injections, to activate the process of skin rejuvenation from the inside and eliminate signs of aging - smoothing wrinkles, improving skin, increasing skin turgor and brightening pigments.There are several types of injectable skin rejuvenation, but the most effective methods include the following:
- mesotherapy– injection of a mesotherapy cocktail into the depths of the mesoderm, which stimulates the function of the main structural elements of the epidermis and dermis, improves the protective properties of the epidermis and normalizes the production of collagen and elastin;
- biorevitalization– a rejuvenating injection procedure based on the introduction of a special gel into the inner layer of the dermis that moisturizes the skin, increases the turgor of the collagen framework and eliminates the main signs of skin aging
- contour plastic surgery– a technique aimed at volumetric modeling and facial skin rejuvenation, which involves the introduction of dense gel preparations (fillers) into the inner layers of the skin, filling wrinkles and restoring the volume of soft tissue;
- botulinum toxin injection– 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 the 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 of skin rejuvenation);
- plasmolifting– a type of mesotherapy – this technique is based on the introduction of the patient's own purified plasma into the inner layer of the dermis (plasma is collected and purified before the session), which stimulates the work of the structural components of the dermis and activates the natural rejuvenation process of skin cells;
- ozone therapy and carboxy therapy– an innovative method of skin rejuvenation, which is based on the injection of a specific solution of ozone (ozone therapy) or carbon dioxide (carboxysterpy) into the dermis, which saturates skin cells with oxygen, improves the function of fibroblasts and stimulates the production of natural hyaluronic acid.
In addition to the injectable method of skin rejuvenation, it includes the thread lifting procedure (thread lifting), which involves the introduction of special threads into the inner layer of the dermis, provides lifting of the soft tissue of the face and forms a solid frame that prevents it from sagging.This method is a radical way to combat the signs of aging and is a safe and atraumatic alternative to plastic surgery.
The magic of hardware cosmetology
Hardware cosmetology has recently become increasingly popular, because salon procedures, which are based on the use of special cosmetology equipment, allow you to get rid of 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, which is based on treating the skin with a high-intensity light flux of different wavelengths (the procedure is completely painless, and the effect after it becomes noticeable immediately);
- lift the RF– a method based on the use of bipolar radiofrequency energy, which heats the dermis and stimulates the work of all its structural components, which helps slow down the aging process, smooth wrinkles and normalize skin fiber turgor;
- microcurrent therapy– techniques based on increasing the functional activity of facial muscles by exposing muscle fibers to high pulsed electric currents (types of microcurrent therapy including darsonvalization, galvanotherapy, myostimulation, iontophoresis).
Particularly popular among patients of cosmetologists are laser skin rejuvenation techniques - laser resurfacing, fractional photothermolysis and laser nanoperforation.The mechanism of action of the procedure is based on the ability of laser radiation to cause micro damage to the surface of the epidermis and thereby activate the natural restoration and rejuvenation process of the skin.Laser facial care techniques are quite expensive, but with their help you can significantly slow down the aging of the epidermis and get rid of wrinkles and other signs of age-related skin changes in the shortest possible period.
Aging of the skin is an inevitable process, but high-quality home care and regular visits to the beauty salon to undergo cosmetic procedures correctly selected by the doctor can significantly slow it down.
