Masks are better to buy ready-made instead of making them yourself. After 50 years, nourishing and moisturizing masks are useful.
Self-massage
Massage will help keep you young. Ideally, it should be performed by an experienced cosmetologist, but self-massage is not excluded.
An effective technique is plastic massage. Provides several types of shocks - kneading, ironing, vibration. The procedure begins with superficial effects, then they move on to deep kneading.
Basic facial massage techniques:
- Ironing. Light strokes are performed in the direction of the lines with the least stretch (massage lines);
- Kneading is superficial. It is performed with four fingers (except the thumb), a movement is performed that is similar to drawing a spiral with small turns;
- Deep kneading. It is performed with all five fingers and one palm, the pressure should be more intense;
- eavesdropping. It is done with fingertips along all massage lines;
- Vibration. It is performed with the lower part of the palm, the movement is directed from the center of the sternum along the collarbone to the ear and on to the temple.
Before the massage session, cleanse the face of cosmetics and powder with talcum powder. Instead of talcum powder, some cosmetologists use cosmetic oil.
Another technique is a complex massage with tablespoons. For the procedure, prepare two containers filled with hot and cold water, a few spoons, cosmetic oil.
The stroke is made of the convex part of the spoon. Ironing, rubbing, light folding techniques are used. It is advisable to use silver spoons, but you can take regular ones. Before the session, apply hot oil to the skin. The effect is made alternately with a cold and hot spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
Gymnastics
A controversial way to rejuvenate the face without injections and surgeries is gymnastics for the facial muscles. Learning to do exercises at home is not difficult, the most important thing is that the classes are regular.
There are different sets of exercises on the Internet, but our doctors' opinion is the same: gymnastics evokes the appearance of facial wrinkles! Therefore, we do not recommend doing gymnastics, make a choice in favor of massage.
Salon treatments for facial rejuvenation without surgery
The salons offer different ways to rejuvenate after 55 years without surgery. These are traditional methods (peeling, massage, masks, skin care procedures), injection procedures (introduction of fillers, mesotherapy, biorevitalization) and hardware methods to affect the skin.
Thread lifting

Photo rejuvenation
The essence of this procedure is the exposure of the skin to pulsating light. Radiation is a quantum current delivered by eruptions. Different wavelengths are used. The maximum effect of the procedure is not displayed immediately, but after the end of the course. Thanks to the photorejuvenation procedure, the collagen structure and skin structure are strengthened, the face is tightened and fine wrinkles are smoothed out.

Sanding is one of the variants of hardware peeling. Only a doctor with a higher medical education who has a certificate can perform the procedure.
The rehabilitation process takes up to 4 weeks. But a pronounced result covers a long recovery after the procedure.
Termage
Thermage is a hardware procedure based on exposure to radio frequency waves or RF radiation. It is performed using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The energy flow destroys old skin structures. As a result, new collagen and elastin fibers are formed, giving a firming effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, as well as for other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
Mesotherapy

With the introduction of mesococktails, the following changes occur:
- Pigment stains disappear;

- Dryness is eliminated, wrinkles are smoothed;
- The micro-relief is leveled.
Drugs are administered with very thin needles. A lot of microtrauma is created, which also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and improves the microcirculation of the blood.

Fractional laser rejuvenation after 50 years as an alternative to plastic
Fractional laser rejuvenation is also called:
- Fractional photothermolysis;
- Fractional peeling;
- Laser nanoperation.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible using the technique of fractional laser exposure. In terms of the effectiveness of a facelift, the procedure can be compared to 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 relevant certificates. Non-specialist use of the laser may result in burns and other adverse effects.
Advantages of the method
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of facial rejuvenation without surgery, which has many benefits:
- No severe pain

The patient should warn the cosmetologist about the presence of chronic diseases. Based on this, the specialist decides which technique can be used.
The essence of the procedure
The technique consists in a laser beam attacking the deep layers of the skin. In the affected areas, the cells "burn out", which stimulates the regeneration process, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women aged 50+ are advised to use a non-ablative exposure method. Its difference is that there is no rehabilitation process. This allows you to smooth out even deep wrinkles without a rehab period.
Effect
During the first days after exposure, the skin will be inflamed.
It can be noted:
- For 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 particularly sensitive to sunlight, so you should apply a protective cream with SPF before going outside.
After the peeling stops, the effect of the procedure will be noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin is tight, the face looks fresh. But to achieve a pronounced result, you need to go through a procedure. Their number is determined individually.
Which methods are ineffective at this age
Help 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 by using:
- Light fruit peels;
- Cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These procedures are good for young women. After fifty and even more sixty years, combined techniques are needed that provide a pronounced lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.
Reviews of rejuvenation without surgery
Reviews of facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive opinions, but there are also those who did not like the procedure.
- "With age, wrinkles and pronounced age spots appeared. Facial rejuvenation is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use non-surgical methods. The beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am satisfied with the procedure, I managed without severe pain and bruising. Already on the 6thday, the face looked decent, even though it was more rosy than usual. I can say that there is a result - the eyelids tightened, the wrinkles became smaller, small pigment spots disappeared, but the large ones only became pale. I repeat the process later. "
- "I'm afraid to do plastic surgery, so I took very good care of my skin. But after 50 'my face collapsed', there were cheeks, another chin, a network of wrinkles. I chose fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say?, it was very painful for me, the tears rolled from my eyes, I could hardly bear this execution. In the morning I got up and got scared of myself in the mirror - a face like a beaten homeless woman. Somehow survived3 days, then it got better. But she could really "go out to people" only after 2 weeks. My eyebrows disappeared, the oval became clearer, the nasolabial folds became less deep. The effect is not bad, but the second time I will not dare toendure this pain even for the sake of beauty.
