Face rejuvenation

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

What do you deserve?

We will tell you how to do 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 foundation for natural rejuvenation when you are young, and after 30 years of training it is already an obligatory part of self-care.

What are anti-aging (rejuvenating) treatments

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

Yes, there are insurmountable factors that can throw you extra years, like genetics and hormonal disruptions. 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 by rejuvenating procedures.

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

With the development of science, we have received a justification of what helps and what prevents to prolong youth.

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

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

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

Yes, now these are not fly agarics with vipers, but "pharmacological findings", "technical inventions", "innovations" - in general, all kinds of fruits of progress with catchy names. Botulinum therapy, mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasma lifting, contour plasty, RF-lifting, SMAS-lifting, photorejuvenation, cryolipolysis, dermabrasion, blepharoplasty, thread lifting, fractional laser rejuvenation . . . The list goes on and on.

But, alas, 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 would reflect the consequences of a cosmetic intervention even for several years ahead, not to mention the long term.

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

After all, most salon procedures are fiction, a short-term appearance of youth, behind which the decrepitude of tissues 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 addressed to women 30+. It is generally accepted that it is at this age that the skin turns 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. After all, it is at this age that the aging mechanisms are triggered. They may not yet be visible on the face, but the processes are already taking place, the blood flow is already beginning to deteriorate. And the sooner you start turning negative processes in the opposite direction, the longer you will remain young.

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

• loss of skin elasticity, decreased turgor,
• floating contour of the face, "squaring" the oval,
• sliding down cheeks and flew,
• wrinkles, folds, creases: from crow's feet to nasolabials,
• the drooping corners of the lips and the wrinkles of sorrow going down from them,
• bags under the eyes and swelling
• drooping corners of the eyes and overhanging upper eyelids,
• dull complexion, age spots,
• thinning of the skin, increased sensitivity.

Defects in the neck and décolleté area are also added here: flabbiness of the skin, "rings of Venus", "goiter of a turkey" (droplets 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. Rip off the mask of a woman who is sad and worn out by her life.

What to do?

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

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

Therefore, let's figure out how the vast majority of cosmetology techniques work.

Perhaps the truth will surprise you, but cosmetology is:

1. Imaginary youth.99% of procedures provide a short-term rejuvenation effect (if any). At the same time, the causes of aging are not eliminated, but are aggravated. When the effect subsides a few months after the cosmetic intervention, 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 expend resources. This launches a string of negative processes. Everything on which the youth of the face rests suffers: skin, muscles, blood flow, lymphatic 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 arise after the procedures. The severity varies from infection and inflammation to tissue necrosis (death), nerve paralysis, speech dysfunctions, blindness, etc.
4. A blow to beauty.The result of cosmetic procedures, as a rule, has little to do with beauty. Swollen wax faces with irregular proportions and distorted features - we see these victims of "punitive" cosmetology at every corner. From fillers, lips turn into shapeless "dumplings" and turn out like a duck's beak. From botox, the face loses the ability to express emotions, becomes immobile, asymmetries often develop (one eyebrow falls over the eyes, the lips go down in one corner). "Armature" made of threads can bulge, shine through, migrate, gather in lumps. These are just a few examples. There are a lot of aesthetic side effects.
5. Addiction.You sit down on the beautician's needle and scalpel. After all, when the effect of the procedure fades away (and this happens very quickly), then the face becomes haggard and wrinkled, "flows down". And you're running for a brace again. From time to time the effect becomes weaker. As a result, the face turns into an ugly mask with inhuman features.
6. High costOne cosmetic procedure is very expensive. Most of the techniques involve exposure to courses. Sometimes it is required to go through up to 10-15 sessions per course, and after six months, repeat everything again. Moreover, cosmetologists often promote complex rejuvenation, that is, using different techniques. As a result, the "investment" in the illusory youth turns out to be colossal. Be ready to pay huge amounts of money for life.

Types of modern anti-aging facial treatments

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

The first two options 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 variety of specific techniques. The main ones are:

1. Injection techniques:botulinum therapy (botox), contour plastics (fillers), mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasmolifting.
2. Surgical techniques:thread 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, causing damage, stress.

Is there a principle of influence somewhere that would take into account the interests of our physiology? No.

Judge for yourself what options are offered.

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

Where is youth here? Nowhere. Only the aggravation of decrepitude.

How to be?

Anti-aging treatments at home

Let's define what we need:

1. Security.No health and beauty risks.
2. A pronounced and lasting result, not a short-term 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.

This, of course, is not a beautician's "magic" syringe. Do not expect instant "miracles". Regularity and consistency are needed here. You need to do it every day, for 15-30 minutes a day.

But after a couple of weeks you will notice the results, and after a month they will become obvious 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 don’t pay huge sums for the fact that you end up aging,
• you can do exercises at any convenient time and not adapt to anyone.

What will you achieve?

• Restore blood and lymph flow. You will relieve the spasms that interfere with the movement of blood and lymph.
• Improve the delivery 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, constrained muscles.
• You will improve the synthesis of collagen in the dermis, "loosen up" old adhered fibers, and renew the skin.

Moreover, 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 on the face. Work with the back, shoulders, neck, aponeurosis of the head - remove all clamps and cords that interfere with the full flow of blood, nutrition of the skin, and the work of facial muscles. Try a couple of basic techniques: We lie on the roller.Stretching and relaxing the neck using the "Frame"
2. Move on to the pinpoint study of age-related defects on the face.Laxity of the skin, wrinkles on the forehead, creases between the eyebrows, nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the mouth, crow's feet, bags under the eyes, drooping eyelids, drooping corners of the lips, swelling, floating contour, flews, 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.Exercise "Liposhlep" against purse-string wrinkles and to restore the volume of 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 quite a few contraindications.

Techniques of natural rejuvenation are a completely different matter. They can be used by almost everyone.

Of course, you need to use common sense. For example, if you have large protruding moles 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. You just have to skip a few individual exercises - they will be flagged.

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 fluids.
• Do not drink alcoholic beverages, do not smoke.
• Adhere to bans on certain medications.
• Avoid intense physical activity.

As we can see, some prohibitions (on drinking, sports, medicines) go against the body. But even if the constraints are useful, they are still additional difficulties.

And in the case of natural rejuvenation, no preparation is required. The maximum application of effort is to cleanse the skin immediately before self-massage (in the case of working with cans, you will still need to apply oil or squalane). And it's all. No restrictions and breakdown of the usual way of life.

Rehabilitation after the procedure

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

After surgical, injection, hardware techniques, the rehabilitation period is most often painful. Bruises, bruises, scars, swelling, irritation, wounds, bruising, etc. are common.

And restrictions can be very uncomfortable for life. Taboos can be imposed on the sun, sports, make-up, baths, saunas, diet . . . Often you can't 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 arise is that you will feel a pleasant tingling from the rush of blood in the worked out area and a slight ache in the body. Even out of habit, bruises may appear after the cans (then they will pass).

All these are signs that the right processes are starting up in the body.

Effective procedures after 30-35 years

After 30 years, the verdict is passed to the skin: "Mature". By this time, the metabolism in cells and the production of "building" protein slows down. The barrier function is weakened. Moisture, turgor, elasticity are declining.

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

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

None of this can be done.

What can you do? Massages, exercises, gymnastics. Moreover, the techniques of natural rejuvenation do not specialize by age. They are suitable for everyone: from female students to deeply retired women.

As we 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 becoming pronounced. Wrinkles, nasolabials, loss of volume, flabbiness of the skin, blurring contour, flews, sunken look . . . The skin needs lifting.

In the language of cosmetologists, this means regular Botox injections, contour plastics (fillers), more frequent mesotherapy sessions, plasma lifting, lasers, microcurrents, etc. Already it is considered appropriate to install threads under the skin.

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

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

If you started practicing at the age of 30, now you 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 main blow to youth is struck. In addition to poor blood circulation, the extinction 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 - is stalled. The network of blood vessels is also regressing. In general, the production of the "beauty hormone" estrogen collapses, and with it the beauty itself evaporates.

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

The reflection in the mirror by this age, if you have long ago 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 then with all this decrepitude 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, launch natural rejuvenation processes, remove edema and relieve muscle spasticity.
