Several decades ago, it was believed that aging was a process that could not be slowed down.However, cosmetic facial rejuvenation procedures, offered by cosmetologists in modern beauty salons, prove the fallacy of this statement, because with their help it is possible not only to slow down the aging process of the skin, but also to significantly improve its appearance.Today, there are several dozen effective methods of skin rejuvenation (injection, hardware, mechanical), which have different mechanisms of action and advantages, and the most popular of them will be described below.
Chemical peeling – prevention and skin rejuvenation
Peeling is the most effective non-invasive rejuvenation procedure, which is based on a superficial burn of the skin with chemicals.Damage to the upper layers of the epidermis and dermis by aggressive chemical elements (fruit acids, phenol, enzymes, trichloroacetic acid) activate the process of self-regeneration and renewal of the skin, which allows you to eliminate wrinkles and age spots, normalize skin turgor and stop the aging process.
In the beauty salon, the most effective are superficial-medium and median peelings, which stimulate the peeling of the epidermis, with which the dermal cells are renewed and their internal reserves are activated.The depth of exposure, which depends on the concentration of the chemical, and the active composition of the peeling agent are selected by the cosmetologist independently, based on the patient's skin type, age and indications for the procedure.
The cost of chemical peeling depends on the composition of the peel.
“Beauty” injections
Injection techniques for skin rejuvenation, which cosmetologists call “beauty” injections, involve the introduction of drugs into the deep layers of the epidermis and dermis by injection in order to activate the skin rejuvenation process from the inside and eliminate signs of aging - smoothing wrinkles, improving complexion, increasing skin turgor and lightening pigmentation.There are a few types of injection skin rejuvenation, but the most effective methods include the following:
- mesotherapy– injections of mesotherapy cocktails deep into the mesoderm, which stimulate the functioning of the main structural elements of the epidermis and dermis, increase the protective properties of the epidermis and normalize the production of collagen and elastin;
- biorevitalization– an injectable rejuvenation procedure based on the introduction of special gels into the deep layers of the dermis that hydrate the skin, increase the turgor of the collagen structure and eliminate the main signs of skin aging
- contour plastic surgery– technique aimed at volumetric modeling and rejuvenation of facial skin, which involves the introduction of dense gel preparations (fillers) into the deep layers of the skin, filling wrinkles and restoring volume to soft tissues;
- botulinum toxin injections– 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 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 skin rejuvenation injection methods);
- plasma lifting– a type of mesotherapy – the technique is based on the introduction of the patient's own purified plasma into the deep layers of the dermis (the plasma is collected and purified before the session), which stimulates the work of the structural components of the dermis and activates the process of natural rejuvenation of skin cells;
- ozone therapy and carboxytherapy– innovative methods of skin rejuvenation, which are based on the injection of a specially prepared solution of ozone (ozone therapy) or carbon dioxide (carboxysterpy) into the dermis, which saturates skin cells with oxygen, improves the functioning of fibroblasts and stimulates the production of natural hyaluronic acid.
In addition to injectable skin rejuvenation methods, they include the thread lifting procedure (thread lifting), which involves the introduction of special threads into the deep layers of the dermis, providing lifting of the soft tissues of the face and forming a dense frame that prevents them from sagging.The 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 eliminate 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 most attention:
- phototherapy– an effective photorejuvenation technique for the dermis and epidermis, which is based on treating the skin with high-intensity light fluxes and different wavelengths (the procedure is absolutely painless and the after effect becomes immediately noticeable);
- RF Survey– method based on the use of bipolar radiofrequency energy, which heats the dermis and stimulates the work of all its structural components, which helps to slow down aging, smooth wrinkles and normalize the turgor of skin fibers;
- microcurrent therapy– a technique based on improving the functional activity of facial muscles through exposure of muscle fibers to high-pulse electrical current (types of microcurrent therapy include darsonvalization, galvanotherapy, myostimulation, iontophoresis).
Particularly popular among patients of cosmetologists are laser skin rejuvenation techniques - laser resurfacing, fractional photothermolysis and laser nanoperforation.The mechanisms of action of the procedures are based on the ability of laser radiation to cause microdamage to the surface of the epidermis and, thus, activate the process of natural skin restoration and rejuvenation.Laser facial treatment techniques are relatively expensive, but with their help you can significantly slow down the aging of the epidermis and eliminate wrinkles and other signs of age-related skin changes in the shortest possible period of time.
Skin aging is an inevitable process, but quality home care and regular visits to beauty salons for cosmetic procedures correctly selected by a doctor can significantly slow it down.
