Facial rejuvenation

"At 50, you have the face you deserve, " Coco Chanel said.

What do you deserve?

We will tell you how to perform anti-aging procedures correctly and safely so that at 50 you can say that you deserve to admire your reflection and catch admiring glances.

It is better to lay the groundwork for natural rejuvenation when you are young, and after 30 years of training, it is already a mandatory part of self-care.

What are anti-aging (rejuvenating) treatments

Every woman has about equal chances of getting one of two things at the age of 50: a "peach" face or a "baked apple" face. Preserved youth or decay.

Yes, there are insurmountable factors that can give you extra years, like genetics and hormonal disorders. But often it all depends on how you live: what you eat, what you feel, how active you are, how you take care of yourself. And the first violin in this youth orchestra is played after rejuvenating procedures.

Mankind has for thousands of years been trying to invent the "elixir of youth". What was not used: hallucinogenic beverages, eating dried snakes and toads, breathing of young girls, moxibustion. . .

With the development of science, we have been given a justification for what helps and what prevents prolonging youth.

Harmful:food waste, stress, ultraviolet light, alcohol, cigarettes. . .

Healthy:movement, positive emotions, regular and intimate life of high quality, vitamins, unsaturated fats. . .

And of course anti-aging treatments. There are a huge number of them, and a lot of money is made on them. Hundreds of billions of dollars (! ) A year are earned on all kinds of "youth injections", hardware techniques, threads, aesthetic surgeries.

Yes, now it is not fly agarics with vipers, but "pharmacological finds", "technical inventions", "innovations" - in general all kinds of progressive fruits with catchy names. Botulinum therapy, mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasma lift, contour plastic surgery, RF lift, SMAS lift, photorejuvenation, cryolipolysis, dermabrasion, blepharoplasty, wire lift, fractional laser rejuvenation. . . The list goes on and on.

But unfortunately, the true effect of modern anti-aging techniques on the body is still very poorly understood. In most cases, there is no full-fledged scientific research that will reflect the consequences of a cosmetic intervention even for several years to come, not to mention the long term.

Such studies are in part impossible due to the relative novelty of cosmetology in principle, but most importantly, they are also unprofitable. If science registered all the consequences of "punitive" cosmetology, it could seriously undermine the industry.

After all, most salon procedures are fiction, a short-term appearance of youth, behind which the waste of tissue is hidden.

This does not mean that facial rejuvenation is impossible. Against. There are effective techniques.

But first things first.

Indications for anti-aging procedures

Anti-aging procedures are primarily aimed at women 30+. It is widely accepted that it is at this age that the skin becomes from young to mature.

Although facial aging is not just a story about skin. Also important: muscle tone, posture, neck static, tendon helmet mobility, blood circulation, lymphatic drainage. For this whole structure to work smoothly, you need to instill the right habits from childhood.

And it is optimal to start anti-aging procedures already at the age of 20-25 years. It is at this age that the mechanisms of aging are triggered. They can not yet be seen in the face, but the processes are already taking place, the blood flow is already starting to worsen. And the sooner you start reversing negative processes in the opposite direction, the longer you will stay young.

When will anti-aging treatments become mandatory (if of course you strive for beauty)? So, when you observe the following signs on your face:

• loss of skin elasticity, decreased turgor,
• fluid contour of the face, "squaring" of the oval,
• slipped down cheeks and flew,
• wrinkles, creases, creases: from crow's feet to nasolabial,
• the drooping corners of the lips and the wrinkles of sorrow that descend from them,
• bags under the eyes and swelling,
• drooping eye hooks and overhanging upper eyelids,
• food complexion, age spots,
• thinning of the skin, increased sensitivity.

Defects in the neck and décolleté area are also added here: flabbiness of the skin, "Venus rings", "goiter of a turkey" (drops of tissue under the chin).

Cosmetological procedures for facial rejuvenation

Does the mirror remind you every time that you are no longer a girl? And I want to look fresher, tighten and smooth everything, raise the corners of the lips, eyelids, eyebrows. Tear off the mask of a woman who is sad and worn out by her life.

What to do?

The first step that is actively imposed on modern women is to go to a beautician.

But we want to do everything right, without harming beauty, youth and health.

So let's find out how the vast majority of cosmetology techniques work.

Maybe the truth will surprise you, but cosmetology is:

1. Imaginative youth.99% of procedures provide a short-term rejuvenation effect (if any). At the same time, the causes of aging are not eliminated, but worsened. When the effect diminishes a few months after the cosmetic procedure, the face will look older than before the procedure.
2. Deterioration of tissue condition.The vast majority of invasive and hardware cosmetic procedures are an aggressive invasion from the outside and a violation of the body's self-regulation. Stress. This effect goes against physiology. The body is forced to defend itself, to use resources. This launches a series of negative processes. Everything the youth of the face rests on suffers: skin, muscles, blood flow, lymph drainage.
3. Health risks.Most cosmetic procedures (injections, threads, surgeries, microneedling, dermabrasion) violate the integrity of the body shell. Some (laser, radio waves, light, thermage) create internal burns. Therefore, complications often occur after the procedures. The degree of difficulty varies from infection and inflammation to tissue necrosis (death), nerve paralysis, difficulty speaking, blindness, etc.
4. A blow to beauty.The result of cosmetic procedures usually has little to do with beauty. Swollen wax faces with irregular proportions and distorted features - we see these victims of "punitive" cosmetology in every corner. From fillers, the lips turn into shapeless "dumplings" and become like a duck's beak. From Botox, the face loses the ability to express emotions, becomes immobile, asymmetries often develop (an eyebrow falls over the eyes, the lips go down in one corner). "Luminaire" made of wires can bulge, shine through, migrate, accumulate in clumps. These are just a few examples. There are many aesthetic side effects.
5. Dependence.You sit on the beautician's needle and scalpel. After all, when the effect of the procedure disappears (and this happens very quickly), then the face becomes hardened and wrinkled, "flowing down". And you run after a hanger again. From time to time the effect becomes weaker. As a result, the face turns into an ugly mask with inhuman features.
6. High costA cosmetic procedure is very expensive. Most of the techniques involve exposure to courses. Sometimes it is necessary to go through up to 10-15 sessions per course, and after six months you have to repeat everything again. In addition, cosmetologists often promote complex rejuvenation, that is, using various techniques. As a result, the "investment" in the illusory youth turns out to be colossal. Be prepared to pay huge amounts of money for life.

Types of modern anti-aging facials

There are three main ways to treat aging skin in salons: dot, cut or machine.

The first two possibilities are accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the body shell, that is, these are invasive techniques. Hardware techniques most often affect the inner layers of tissues without damaging the epidermis.

Each of these areas is represented by a number of specific techniques. The most important are:

1. Injection techniques:botulinum therapy (botox), contour plastic surgery (fillers), mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasma lifting.
2. Surgical techniques:wire lifting, rhytidectomy, blepharoplasty.
3. Hardware techniques:laser, radio waves, ultrasound, light, cold.

And none of these methods are friendly to our body. It is always an aggressive invasion from the outside that causes damage, stress.

Is there a principle of influence somewhere that will take into account our physiology? None.

Evaluate for yourself what options are offered.

1. Paralyze some muscles and increase the load on others- Botox injections.
2. Stretch the skin with fillers that will also interfere with normal blood flow and tissue drainagefillers.
3. Everywhere to damage the skin with needles, turn it into a continuously healed wound:mesotherapy and biorevitalization (cosmetic preparations are injected into the face using hundreds of injections), plasma lifting (hundreds of injections of the patient's own plasma), microneedling (the face is "rolled" into the blood with a needle roller or "sealed" with a needle plunger).
4. Cut off excess skin and fat- rhytidectomy (surgical facelift), blepharoplasty (eyelid correction).
5. "Sew" the face with absorbable or permanent threads, causing the degeneration of healthy collagen to fibrotic- wire lifting.
6. Peel off skin layers like emery- dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, chemical peels.
7. "Burn out" the inner layers of the skinlaser, ultrasound, radio waves, light.
8. Destroy tissue by freezing- cryolipolysis.

Where are the youth here? Nowhere. Only the aggravation of decay.

How to be?

Anti-aging treatments at home

Let us define what we need:

1. Security.No health and beauty risks.
2. A pronounced and lasting result, not a short-lived appearance of rejuvenation.This requires eliminating the causes of aging, starting the natural mechanisms of rejuvenation and not masking the problem.

This can only be given to us by natural rejuvenation techniques. Exercise, gymnastics and self-massage - this is what will help us lose 10-15 years from our face and maintain this result for years.

Of course, this is not a cosmetologist's "magic" syringe. Do not expect immediate "miracles". Regularity and consistency are needed here. You should do this every day for 15-30 minutes a day.

But after a few weeks you will notice the results and after a month they will become apparent to those around you.

To look good, make natural rejuvenation techniques your healthy daily habit for life.

Plus also the fact that you take care of yourself. This means that you:

• you begin to understand your body better,
• you do not pay large sums for you to end up getting older,
• you can do exercises at any convenient time and not adapt to anyone.

What do you want to achieve?

• Restore blood and lymph flow. You will relieve the spasms that interfere with the movement of blood and lymph.
• Improve the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the cells; you activate the "pumping out" of everything unnecessary and harmful from them.
• You will restore healthy tone and natural length to the muscles of the face and neck. This is necessary so that the skin is better absorbed with blood and does not pull on the shortened, narrowed muscles.
• You will improve the synthesis of collagen in the dermis, "loosen up" old attached fibers and renew the skin.

In addition, exercises should be performed not only on the face.

What is the best way to move?

1. Start by correcting your posture.Often there is the root of all age-related problems in the face. Work with back, shoulders, neck, aponeurosis of the head - remove all clamps and strings that disrupt the full flow of blood, nourish the skin and work the facial muscles. Try a few basic techniques:We're on the roll.Stretching and relaxation of the neck using "Frame"
2. Proceed to the precise examination of age-related facial defects.Slackness in the skin, wrinkles on the forehead, wrinkles between the eyebrows, nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the mouth, crow's feet, bags under the eyes, drooping eyelids, drooping lip corners, swelling, fluid contour, flies, double chin - all this can be corrected. We do exercises and self-massage. We work with our hands, vacuum cans, a dry brush, a gouache scraper. Try some of the "golden collection" exercises:We open our eyes, remove the overhanging eyelids.Train "Liposhlep" against purse wrinkles and to restore volume on the lips.Intraoral massage for nasolabial folds.Facial massage with vacuum cups

Contraindications

It is natural that cosmetic procedures, which in principle go against physiology, have a number of contraindications.

Techniques for natural rejuvenation are a whole other matter. They can be used by almost anyone.

Of course, you need common sense. For example, if you have large protruding birthmarks or a skin infection, then you should refrain from self-massage (locally or until healing). At the same time, this does not interfere with gymnastics.

Important! Even pregnant and breastfeeding women can run beauty marathons. Simply skip a few exercises - they will be highlighted.

You can ask the osteopathic doctor who accompanies the course about the compatibility of your diagnosis and the marathon exercises.

How to properly prepare for anti-aging treatments

Among other things, salon procedures are inconvenient. For example, they usually need to be prepared in advance.

• For half a month or a month, do not take active sunbathing.
• Avoid eating salty and spicy foods for several days.
• Drink less fluid.
• Do not drink alcoholic beverages, do not smoke.
• Observe bans on certain drugs.
• Avoid intense physical activity.

As we can see, some prohibitions (against drinking, sports, medicine) go against the body. But while the limitations are useful, they are still additional difficulties.

And in the case of natural rejuvenation, no preparation is required. The maximum effort is to cleanse the skin immediately before self-massage (in case of working with cans, still apply oil or squalane). And that's it. No restrictions and breakdowns of the usual lifestyle.

Rehabilitation after the procedure

How you will feel after a rejuvenating treatment is also important.

After surgery, injection, hardware techniques, the rehabilitation period is most often painful. Bruising, bruising, scarring, swelling, irritation, sores, bruising, etc. are common.

And restrictions can be very unpleasant for life. Taboos can be imposed on sun, sports, make-up, baths, saunas, diet. . . Often you can not just touch your face or take a horizontal position.

What about natural rejuvenation? There is simply no rehabilitation period here. The most "terrible" thing that can happen is that you will feel a pleasant tingling from blood clots in the trained area and a slight pain in the body. Even out of habit, bruises can appear after the cans (then they will pass).

All this is a sign that the right processes are starting up in the body.

Effective procedures after 30-35 years

After 30 years, the verdict falls to the skin: "Mature". At this point, the metabolism in cells and the production of "building" protein are slowed down. The barrier function is weakened. Moisture, turgor, elasticity are decreasing.

For cosmetologists, this is a reason to "recruit" new "victims" into the ranks of their clientele. They impose on young and prosperous women the idea that it is already necessary to do chemical peels, undergo mesotherapy or biorevitalization once every six months, use hardware techniques, and so on.

At the slightest first wrinkles, they campaign for botulinum therapy. Reportedly, it will be possible to avoid the occurrence of deep wrinkles in the future. But we already know that due to muscle paralysis and breakdown of the whole muscle configuration, everything will be exactly the opposite: defects will come out prematurely.

None of this can be done.

What can you do? Massage, exercises, gymnastics. In addition, the techniques of natural rejuvenation are not specialized by age. They suit everyone: from female students to deeply retired women.

As we have already said, they should become a mandatory program for women 30+ who take care of themselves.

Effective treatments after 40 years

After 40 years, the signs of aging are already being pronounced. Wrinkles, nasolabial folds, loss of volume, sagging skin, blurred contour, curls, sunken look. . . The skin needs to be lifted.

In the language of cosmetologists, this means regular Botox injections, contouring (fillers), more frequent mesotherapy sessions, plasma lifting, lasers, microcurrents, etc. It is already considered appropriate to install strands under the skin.

Many different procedures are prescribed for you ("an integrated approach"). You should visit the beautician more often.

There is only one safe and effective alternative for women over the age of 40 - natural rejuvenation. We do the same exercises as at any other age.

If you started practicing at the age of 30, you now look no worse than 10 years ago, and most likely better. Do not stop.

Effective treatments after 50 years

At menopause (50 +/- 5 years) and after, the biggest blow is for the youth. In addition to poor blood circulation, the eradication of hormonal activity is also added.

Due to the hormonal decline, the renewal of fibroblasts - cells in which the main components of youthful skin are produced - has stalled. The network of blood vessels is also in decline. In general, the production of the "beauty hormone" estrogen coincides, and with it, the beauty itself evaporates.

Here, the intensity and frequency of cosmetic procedures will go beyond the scale. Surgical techniques will be added to the numerous non-surgical techniques, and on the basis of preference. The fabrics will cut and stretch, cut and stretch. In the most "humane" case - to amplify.

The reflection in the mirror at this age, if you have long since become addicted to the needle, will no longer please. And it will be difficult to abandon "punitive" cosmetology: it is not clear what to do with all this decay that it has created.

The recipe for women 50+ is the same: natural rejuvenation. Is it too late? No, it's not too late. And 70 is not too late.

And the most important thing isyoung beautiful face, healthy back and royal posturewith the simplest exercises and effective self-massage techniques you can achieve it in just 21 days. The marathon is a unique set of simple and effective exercises and techniques designed to improve the body's health, initiate natural rejuvenation processes, remove edema and relieve muscle spasticity.
