"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 foundations for natural rejuvenation while 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 an approximately equal chance of getting one of two things by age 50: a "peach" face or a "baked apple" face. Preserved youth or weariness.
Yes, there are insurmountable factors like genetics and hormonal disruptions that can buy you extra years. But often it all depends on how you live: what you eat, how you feel, how active you are, how you take care of yourself. And in this youth orchestra, the first violin is played with rejuvenating methods.
Humanity has been trying to invent the "elixir of youth" for thousands of years. Not used: hallucinogenic drinks, eating dried snakes and toads, girls' breathing, moxibustion. . .
With the development of science, we got a rationale for what helps prolong youth and what hinders it.
Damaging:food waste, stress, ultraviolet light, alcohol, cigarettes. . .
Healthy:movement, positive emotions, regular and quality intimate life, vitamins, unsaturated fats . . .
And of course, anti-aging treatments. There are many of them and a lot of money is made on them. Hundreds of billions of dollars (! ) are earned annually from all kinds of "youth injections", hardware techniques, threads, plastic surgeries.
Yes, now these are not fly agaric vipers, but "pharmacological findings", "technical breakthroughs", "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 stretching, fractional laser rejuvenation. . . The list goes on and on.
But unfortunately, the true impact of modern anti-aging techniques on the body is still poorly understood. In most cases, there is no full-fledged scientific research that will reflect the results of a cosmetic intervention even over the next few years, not to mention the long-term.
Such work is impossible in principle, partly because of the relative novelty of cosmetology, but most importantly, they are also unprofitable. If science had recorded all the results of "punitive" cosmetology, it could seriously undermine the industry.
After all, most salon procedures are fiction, the fleeting appearance of youth, behind which the wear 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 aimed at women over 30. It is generally accepted that at this age the skin transforms from a young age to maturity.
While facial aging isn't just a skin-related story. Also important: muscle tone, posture, neck static, tendon helmet mobility, blood circulation, lymphatic drainage. In order 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, aging mechanisms are triggered at this age. They may not yet appear on the face, but the processes are already taking place, the blood flow is already beginning to deteriorate. And the sooner you start to reverse negative processes, the longer you will stay young.
When do anti-aging treatments become mandatory (if you strive for beauty, of course)? Then, when you see the following signs on your face:
- loss of skin elasticity, decrease in turgor,
- the floating contour of the face, the "squaring" of the oval,
- glides down the cheeks and flies,
- wrinkles, folds, wrinkles: from crow's feet to nasolabials,
- the drooping corners of the lips and the wrinkles of sadness descending from them,
- under-eye bags and swelling,
- drooping of the corners of the eyes and drooping of the upper eyelids,
- dull skin, age spots,
- thinning of the skin, increased sensitivity.
Defects in the neck and décolleté area are also added here: laxity of the skin, "rings of Venus", "turkey goiter" (droplets of tissue under the chin).
Cosmetology procedures for facial rejuvenation
Does the mirror always remind you that you're not a girl anymore? And I want to look fresher, tighten and smooth everything, lift the corners of the lips, eyelids, eyebrows. Take off the mask of a sad and worn out woman from her life.
What should we do?
The first step, which is actively imposed on modern women, is to go to a cosmetologist.
But we want to do everything right, without harming beauty, youth and health.
Therefore, let's understand how the vast majority of cosmetic techniques work.
Perhaps the truth will surprise you, but cosmetology:
- Imaginary youth.99% of procedures (if any) provide a short-term rejuvenation effect. At the same time, the causes of aging are not eliminated, but aggravated. When the effect decreases a few months after the aesthetic intervention, the face will look older than before the procedure.
- 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 is against physiology. The body is forced to defend itself, to spend resources. This initiates a series of negative processes. Everything that the youth of the face depends on suffers: skin, muscles, blood flow, lymphatic drainage.
- Health risks.Most cosmetic procedures (injections, threads, surgeries, microneedling, dermabrasion) violate the integrity of the body shell. Some (laser, radio waves, light, thermage) cause internal burns. Therefore, complications often occur after procedures. Its severity ranges from infection and inflammation to tissue necrosis (death), nerve palsy, speech disorders, blindness, etc. up to change.
- A blow to beauty.The result of cosmetic procedures, as a rule, has little to do with beauty. Swollen waxy faces with irregular proportions and crooked features - we see victims of these "punishing" cosmetics around every corner. Lips from fillers turn into shapeless "meatballs" and turn out like a duckbill. From Botox, the face loses the ability to express emotions, becomes immobile, often develops asymmetries (one eyebrow falls over the eyes, lips go down in one corner). The "armature" made of threads can swell, shine, migrate, gather in lumps. These are just a few examples. Aesthetic side effects are many.
- Dependence.Sit on the beautician's needle and scalpel. After all, when the effect of the procedure is lost (and this happens very quickly), then the face becomes exhausted and wrinkled, "flowing down". And again you're running for a bracket. Sometimes its effect weakens. As a result, the face turns into an ugly mask with inhuman features.
- High priceA cosmetic procedure is very expensive. Most of the techniques involve exposure to courses. Sometimes it is necessary to pass up to 10-15 sessions per course, and after six months it is necessary to repeat everything. Also, cosmetologists often promote complex rejuvenation, that is, using different techniques. As a result, the "investment" in deceptive youth becomes huge. Be prepared to pay large sums of money for life.
Modern types of anti-aging facials
There are three main ways to treat aging skin in salons: sewing, cutting 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 usually 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:
- Injection techniques:botulinum treatment (botox), contour plastics (fillings), mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasmolifting.
- Surgical techniques:thread removal, rhytidectomy, blepharoplasty.
- 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 action somewhere to take into account the interests of our physiology? Number.
Evaluate for yourself what options are offered.
- Paralyze some muscles and increase the load on others- Botox injections.
- Tighten the skin with fillers that will also interfere with normal blood flow and tissue drainage- fillers.
- Everywhere to injure the skin with needles, it turns it into a constantly healed wound:mesotherapy and biorevitalization (with the help of hundreds of injections, cosmetic preparations are injected into the face), 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 stamp).
- Trim off excess skin and fat- rhytidectomy (surgical facelift), blepharoplasty (eyelid correction).
- "Stitch" the face with absorbable or permanent threads, trigger healthy collagen to become fibrotic- thread removal.
- peel off layers of skin like sandpaper- dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing, chemical peeling.
- "burning" the inner layers of the skin- laser, ultrasound, radio waves, light.
- Destroy textures by freezing them- cryolipolysis.
Where is the youth here? Nowhere. Just aggravating the worthlessness.
How to be?
Anti-aging treatments at home
Let's define what we need:
- Security.There is no health and beauty risk.
- Not a short-term rejuvenation appearance, but a clear and permanent result.For this, it is necessary to eliminate the causes of aging, to initiate natural rejuvenation mechanisms and not to mask the problem.
This can only be given to us by natural rejuvenation techniques. Exercise, gymnastics and self-massage - this will help us lose 10-15 years from the face and maintain this result for many years.
This, of course, is not the "magic" syringe of a beautician. Do not expect instant "miracles". Regularity and consistency are required here. Every day, you need to do 15-30 minutes a day.
But after a few weeks you will notice the results and after a month they will become obvious to those around you.
Make natural rejuvenation techniques your lifelong healthy daily habit to look good.
Also, take good care of yourself. This means:
- you start to understand your body better,
- you don't pay huge sums to get old in the end,
- You can exercise at any convenient time and not adapt to anyone.
What will you get?
- Restore blood and lymph flow. You will relieve spasms that prevent blood and lymph movement.
- Improve nutrient and oxygen delivery to cells; you activate the "push out" of everything unnecessary and harmful.
- You will restore healthy tone and natural length to the facial and neck muscles. This is necessary so that the skin is better absorbed with blood and does not pull on shortened, restricted muscles.
- You will improve collagen synthesis in the dermis, "loosen" old adhered fibers and renew the skin.
Also, exercises should not be done only on the face.
What's the best way to move?
- Start by correcting your posture.Generally, the root of all age-related problems is the face. Work with the aponeurosis of the back, shoulders, neck, head - remove all clamps and cords that interfere with the full blood flow, nutrition of the skin and the work of the facial muscles. Try a few basic techniques:We lie on the roller.Stretching and loosening the neck using the "Frame"
- Proceed to the definitive study of age-related defects on the face.Skin laxity, forehead wrinkles, wrinkles between the eyebrows, nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the mouth, crow's feet, bags under the eyes, sagging of the eyelids, sagging of the lip corners, swelling, facial features, herpes, jowl - all these 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 "gold collection" exercises:We open our eyes, remove the drooping eyelids.Exercise "Liposhlep" against purse string wrinkles and 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 are contrary to physiology, have several contraindications.
Natural rejuvenation techniques 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, you should avoid self-massage (locally or until healed). At the same time, this does not interfere with gymnastics.
Important! Even pregnant and breastfeeding women can run beauty marathons. You just need to skip a few individual exercises - they will be marked.
You can ask the osteopathic doctor accompanying the course about the compatibility of your diagnosis and marathon exercises.
How to properly prepare for anti-aging treatments
Among other things, salon procedures are inconvenient. For example, they often need to be prepared in advance.
- Do not sunbathe actively for half a month or a month.
- Avoid eating salty and spicy foods for a few days.
- Consume less fluids.
- Do not drink alcoholic beverages, do not smoke.
- Follow the prohibitions on certain drugs.
- Avoid intense physical activity.
As we can see, some prohibitions (drinking, sports, medicine) are against the body. But even if the restrictions are useful, they are still additional challenges.
And in the case of natural rejuvenation, no preparation is required. The maximum effort is to clean the skin just before the self-massage (in the case of working with cans, you will still need to apply oil or squalene). And that's all. No restrictions and disruptions in the usual way of life.
Post-procedure rehabilitation
How you feel after a rejuvenating treatment is also important.
The rehabilitation period after surgery, injection, hardware techniques is mostly painful. Bruises, bruises, scars, swellings, irritations, wounds, bruises, etc. is common.
And restrictions can be very uncomfortable for life. Taboos can be placed on sun, sports, make-up, baths, saunas and nutrition. . . Most of the time you can't just touch your face or take a horizontal position.
What about natural rejuvenation? There is not only a rehabilitation period here. The most "terrible" thing that can happen is that you feel a pleasant tingling and slight pain in the body from the blood flow in the studied area. Even out of habit, bruises may appear after cans (then they will pass).
All these are signs that the right processes have begun in the body.
Effective procedures after 30-35 years
After 30 years, the verdict is on the skin: "Mature". By this time, the metabolism in the cells and the production of the "building" protein slows down. The barrier function is weakened. Moisture, turgor, elasticity decrease.
For cosmetologists, this is a reason to "recruit" new "victims" into the ranks of their clients. It is recommended that young and blooming women do chemical peeling, have mesotherapy or biorevitalization every six months, use hardware techniques, etc. They impose the idea that it is necessary.
They campaign for botulinum treatment in the smallest first wrinkles. Allegedly, in the future it will be possible to prevent the appearance of deep wrinkles. But we already know that due to muscle paralysis and disruption of the entire muscle configuration, everything will be just the opposite: defects will appear ahead of time.
None of this can be done.
What can you do? Massages, exercises, gymnastics. Moreover, natural rejuvenation techniques do not specialize in age. Suitable for everyone: from female students to retired women.
As we said before, it should become a compulsory program for women over 30 who take care of themselves.
Effective treatments after 40 years
After 40 years, signs of aging are already becoming apparent. Wrinkles, nasolabials, loss of volume, laxity of the skin, blurred contour, herpes, sunken appearance. . . The skin needs to be stretched.
In the language of cosmetologists, this means regular injections of Botox, contour plastics (fillers), more frequent mesotherapy sessions, plasma lifting, lasers, microcurrents, etc. It means. It is already considered appropriate to put a thread under the skin.
Many different procedures are foreseen for you ("an integrated approach"). You should visit the beautician more often.
For women over 40, there is only one safe and effective alternative - natural rejuvenation. We do the same exercises as at any age.
If you started practicing at 30, you don't look any worse now than you did 10 years ago, and you likely look better. Stop.
Effective treatments after 50 years
During and after menopause (50 +/- 5 years), youth is hit the hardest. In addition to poor blood circulation, depletion of hormonal activity is added.
Due to the hormonal decline, the regeneration of fibroblasts, the cells from which the main components of youthful skin are produced, stops. The blood vessel network is also stretching. In general, the production of the "beauty hormone" estrogen collapses, and with it beauty itself evaporates.
Here, the intensity and frequency of cosmetic procedures will go off the scale. Surgical techniques will be added to numerous non-surgical techniques and priority rights will be taken as basis. Fabrics will be cut and stretched, cut and stretched. In the most "humane" case - to consolidate.
At this age, the reflection in the mirror will no longer please you if you were addicted to needles a long time ago. And it will be difficult to abandon the "punitive" cosmetology: it is not clear what to do with all this rot it has created.
For women 50+, the recipe is the same: natural rejuvenation. Is it too late? No, it's not too late. And 70 is not too late.
