An effective technique is plastic massage. Provides several types of impact - kneading, stroking, vibration. The procedure begins with superficial effects, then they move on to deep kneading.
Basic tricks:
- Stroking. Light stroking movements are carried out in the direction of the lines of least stretching (massage lines).
- Kneading is superficial. It is carried out with four fingers (except for the thumb), a movement is performed that resembles drawing a spiral with small turns.
- Deep kneading. It is carried out with all five fingers and the palm, the pressure should be more intense.
- tapping. It is done with fingertips along all massage lines.
- Vibration. It is carried out with the lower part of the palm, the movement is directed from the middle of the sternum along the collarbone to the ear and further to the temple.
Before the session, the face is powdered with sterile talcum powder - this is necessary to prevent fingers from slipping over the skin.
Another technique is a complex massage with tablespoons. For the procedure, you need to prepare two containers filled with hot and cold water, a few spoons, cosmetic oil.
The impact is made by the convex part of the spoon. Stroking, rubbing, light patting techniques are used. It is advisable to use silver spoons, but you can take regular ones. Warm oil is applied to the skin before the session. The effect is made alternately with a cold and warm spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
An effective way to rejuvenate the face without injections and operations is gymnastics for the muscles of the face. Learning how to do exercises at home is not difficult, the main thing is that the classes are regular.
There are different sets of exercises. Here is one of them (do each movement 10 times):
- Take air into your mouth and distill it in a circle from one cheek to another, as if rolling a ball. First clockwise, then against.
- Press the corners of your lips firmly with your fingers. Pull your lips forward, as if wanting to kiss someone, overcoming the resistance of your fingers.
- Press the outer corners of the eyes with your fingers (with closed eyelids). Open your eyes as wide as possible, slightly raising your eyebrows. Hold this position for 5 seconds, then lower your eyelids and relax your muscles.
- Put three fingers on the area between the eyebrows, press firmly. Try to bring your eyebrows together, 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 movement lifts the chin.
- Press the corners of your lips with your fingers and try to smile broadly.
- Pull your cheeks inward, and then inflate them with air.
When exercising, you may experience a burning sensation in the skin. This is normal, as the muscles work and tighten.
The salons offer various ways of rejuvenation after 55 without surgery. These are both traditional methods (massage, masks), and new methods (introduction of fillers, hardware exposure).
The essence of the technique of face and neck rejuvenation without surgery is to perform skin punctures and the introduction of synthetic threads that create a reinforcing frame. The effect of the procedure field lasts 3-4 years.
Lifting with threads is recommended for sagging cheeks, the formation of a second chin, changes in the contour of the face, the appearance of wrinkles.
For the manufacture of threads, polymeric materials, silicone, various acids, platinum, gold are used. The diameter of the threads does not exceed the thickness of a human hair. After the introduction of the thread is not felt and not visible to others.
The essence of this procedure is the exposure of the skin to pulsed light. Radiation is a quantum flux that is supplied by bursts. The wavelength used is 400-1400 nm. The effect of the procedure does not appear immediately, but 6-8 weeks after the completion of the course. During this period, the collagen frame and skin structure are strengthened, the face is tightened, and fine wrinkles are smoothed out.
Light energy heats tissues and destroys photosensitive substances. Thereby:
- age spots disappear, complexion improves;
- turgor increases;
- the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin is enhanced.
The technique is not suitable for getting rid of all age-related changes. Other procedures should be used to eliminate deep wrinkles and improve facial contours.
Laser resurfacing is a procedure that can stop aging. The bottom line is the impact on the epidermis with a laser. The top layer of cells is evaporated, which stimulates regeneration processes.
Grinding is one of the varieties of peeling. But the effect is carried out on the deep layers, in comparison with acid peeling. Only a master who has a certificate can carry out the procedure.
This is a hardware procedure based on infrared exposure to the deep layers of the skin. It is carried out using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The energy flow heats up the deep layers of the skin to the temperature of compaction. As a result, the stretched collagen fibers are tightened, providing a tightening effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenation of the skin of the face, neck, decollete, as well as for other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
An injection procedure, the essence of which is the introduction of special "cocktails" under the skin. The preparations include hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids.
With the introduction of mesococktails, the following changes occur:
- age spots disappear;
- improves complexion;
- dryness is eliminated, wrinkles are smoothed out;
- relief is levelled.
Drugs are administered with very thin needles. A lot of microtraumas are created, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and improves blood microcirculation.
When planning rejuvenation without surgery, many women choose injection procedures. In cosmetology, different preparations are used for injection into the skin:
- hyaluronic acid in combination with peptides;
- botulinum toxin;
- calcium collagen hydroxyapatite.
Selected drugs are administered by injection. Very thin injection needles are used.
Rejuvenation of the face and neck is carried out by introducing special oxygen-ozone cocktails. After the procedure, the face acquires a fresh look, wrinkles, acne marks disappear. The technique stimulates the production of collagen.
A home alternative to ozone therapy is the treatment of the face with hydrogen peroxide. However, external exposure is less effective than the injection technique.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible using the technique of fractional laser exposure. In terms of effectiveness, the procedure can be compared with the use of stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
It is necessary to perform the procedure in a cosmetology clinic that has the appropriate certificates. Non-specialist use of the laser may result in burns and other adverse effects.
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of facial rejuvenation without surgery, which has many advantages:
- lack of severe pain;
- noticeable effect even after one procedure;
- no negative side effects;
- a short period of rehabilitation.
An important advantage is an affordable price (8-10 thousand rubles) with pronounced efficiency. The procedure solves several cosmetic problems at once - smoothes wrinkles, tightens, eliminates post-acne scars.
It is recommended to use fractional laser exposure in the presence of the following cosmetic defects:
- wrinkles, including deep ones;
- sagging skin, loss of a clear oval of the face;
- scars, scars, spider veins;
- enlarged pores, acne;
- dark spots.
But there are also contraindications. They must be taken into account, because at the age of fifty, not everyone has iron health. It is forbidden to carry out laser rejuvenation under such circumstances:
- large inflamed areas on the face;
- skin infections;
- psoriasis, eczema;
- malignant neoplasms of any localization;
- heart disease;
- epilepsy;
- immunodeficiency state;
- neurological disorders;
- serious allergic diseases.
The patient should warn the cosmetologist about the presence of any chronic diseases. The specialist on the basis of this decides which technique can be used.
The technique consists in the impact of a laser beam on the deep layers of the skin. Since the beam is split into many small beams, the effect is only on certain microzones, the rest of the tissues remain intact. In the affected areas, the cells are "burned out", which stimulates the process of regeneration, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women aged 50+ are recommended to use a non-ablative method of exposure. Its difference is that the deep layers of the dermis are involved in the process. This allows even deep wrinkles to be smoothed out.
During the first week after exposure, the skin will be inflamed. It may be noted:
- in the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- in the first 1-2 days - redness;
- on day 2-3 - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be especially sensitive to sunlight, so you need to apply a protective cream before going outside.
After the peeling stops, that is, after about a week, the effect of the procedure will become noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin is tightened, the face looks fresh. But to achieve a pronounced result, you need to take a course of sessions. Their number is determined individually.
Assistance in choosing the appropriate method of rejuvenation will be provided by a professional cosmetologist.
After 50 years, it will not be possible to achieve a good effect when using:
- light fruit peels;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These treatments are good for young women aged 30+. After fifty and even more so sixty years, techniques are needed that give a pronounced lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.
Reviews about facial rejuvenation techniques are ambiguous: there are many positive opinions, but there are also those who did not like the procedure.
First review
With age, wrinkles and pronounced age spots appeared. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use non-surgical techniques. The beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am satisfied with the procedure, I did without severe pain and bruising. Already on the 6th day, the face looked decent, although it was rosier than usual. I can say that there is a result - the eyelids tightened, wrinkles became smaller, small pigment spots disappeared, but the large ones only turned pale. I will repeat the process later.
Second review
I'm afraid to do plastic surgery, so I took care of my skin very carefully. But after 50, the face "collapsed", there were cheeks, a second chin, a network of wrinkles. I opted for fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it was very painful for me, tears rolled from my eyes, I could hardly endure this execution. In the morning I got up and was frightened of myself in the mirror - a face like that of a beaten homeless woman. Somehow survived 3 days, then it got better. But she could really "go out to people" only after 2 weeks. My eye wrinkles disappeared, the oval became clearer, the nasolabial folds became less deep. The effect is not bad, but the second time I will not dare to endure this pain even for the sake of beauty.
