Let's stop at the most popular salon rejuvenation methods.

- laxity, reduced skin elasticity;
- mimic and static wrinkles;
- omission of the corners of the eyelids, eyebrows, lips (gravitational ptosis);

- dark circles under the eyes.
The most effective antiaging methods or a complex of antiaging procedures will help you choose a beautician. The specialist also prescribes individual anti-aging procedures and courses of rejuvenation sessions.
Beauty injections for rejuvenation
Intradermal and subcutaneous injections are minimally invasive methods of rejuvenation that provide a pronounced and long-lasting effect. Popular types of anti-aging injectable procedures, in particular, include:
- biorevitalization and mesotherapy- injections of hyaluronic acid and mesococktail, which can improve the condition of the facial skin and slow down the aging process in the tissues of the dermis. The method is also in demand among young girls and men;
- botulinum therapyaimed at rejuvenation, smoothing facial wrinkles due to facial muscle immobilization by intradermal injection of botulinum toxin;
- filler injection- intradermal fillers based on hyaluronic or polylactic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite. The most common in cosmetology are hyaluronic fillers, which are injected at different depths. Injectable anti-aging biogels are used to fill superficial, medium and deep wrinkles, correct facial contours and restore volume lost with age. For injectable rejuvenation, reduction of signs of aging, biodegradable fillers are introduced, which first create volume thanks to the filler, and then maintain the effect of rejuvenation due to the initiation of the natural process of collagen and elastin production;
- lipolytic injections- splitting of fat cells in the cheeks, cheekbones, chin.
With significant signs of aging, anti-agingthreadlifting– bioreinforcement with absorbent threads of the lower third of the face. Another popular type of injectable rejuvenation method isplasmolifting(Platelet Rich Plasma), introduction into the layers of the skin of a person's own blood plasma, enriched with platelets.
Facial rejuvenation procedures
Modern hardware cosmetology makes it possible not only to remove the first signs of aging, but also to rejuvenate the skin by ten years. Depending on the specific problem and the depth of skin aging, the cosmetologist may recommend the following anti-aging procedures:
- photo and laser rejuvenation, in which the anti-aging effect is achieved by heating the dermal layer with light rays and activating natural regeneration processes in the skin. Photorejuvenation, which is recommended for women and men aged 25-45, has a fairly mild rejuvenating effect and is aimed at correcting certain aesthetic defects: wrinkles, age spots, post-acne. Laser resurfacing (fractional lifting) is more aggressive and is recommended for serious signs of aging for the 40+ category;
- non-injection biorevitalization or mesotherapy. Hyaluronic biorevitalizers and mesotherapy cocktails are used to perform antiaging manipulations. Penetration of useful components into the skin is done by laser exposure;
- SMAS lifting. The revolutionary anti-aging technique deserves special attention. The essence of the non-invasive SMAS-lifting procedure is the focused effect of ultrasound on the muscle-aponeurotic system located under the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous fat tissue. The process of rejuvenation, tissue renewal occurs in deep layers, due to which the oval of the face is tightened, sagging is eliminated, the second chin is removed, the corners of the eyes, lips and eyebrows are raised. The rejuvenation procedure is one-time, it is carried out once a year;
- RF lifting- a rejuvenation technique based on the effect of high-frequency currents on the dermis and hypodermis. The effect of skin rejuvenation is due to tissue heating and stimulation of the production of own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid;
- cryolifting- cold skin rejuvenation procedure. In this case, facial skin treatment with a special probe tip, cooled to -15°C, acts as a stimulator of active regeneration processes, slowing down aging.
Hardware methods of rejuvenation, which cosmetologists include in complex anti-aging programs, include basic procedures -ultrasonic cleaning and laser carbon peeling.
Aesthetic cosmetology for facial rejuvenation
In addition to hardware and injection methods, cosmetology also uses simpler, but no less effective procedures for facial skin rejuvenation. This includes, in particular:
- Chemical peels;
- skin care programs for rejuvenation using a series of professional cosmetics according to skin type;
- massages.
Acid-based peels- Quite popular anti-aging procedures, which are especially effective at the first signs of facial skin aging. The method works by peeling off the top layer of the skin's cornea and injuring the living tissues of the epidermis. The deeper layers of the skin are not affected. Microburns of the skin cause an increase in the growth of collagen and elastin fibers and an acceleration of the tissue renewal process. Medium peels are used to correct age changes. Deep rejuvenating peels involve the use of a highly toxic agent and are performed only in specialized clinics and only once in a lifetime.
For face lifting and rejuvenation in beauty salons, varioustypes of massages:
- manual classic;
- corugi;
- myofascial;
- sculptural;
- buccal;
- Spanish chiromassage.
Rejuvenating facial massages differ in technique. In general, their essence lies in normalizing metabolic processes, removing puffiness and stimulating cell regeneration.
Complexes of facial skin rejuvenation procedures with the use of cosmetic products include cleaning, peeling, application of anti-aging fluids and serums.
The choice of non-surgical anti-aging procedures according to the type of aging
Cosmetologists distinguish 4 types of facial skin aging, according to which they choose corrective procedures for care and rejuvenation.
- A fine wrinkled type of aging. In this type, the face is covered with a network of wrinkles, age spots, the contours of the face do not change. To combat age changes, chemical peels and mesotherapy procedures are prescribed. Photorejuvenation and botulinum toxin injections are very effective.
- Gravitational type of aging. A characteristic feature is the deformation of the oval face (the presence of a second chin, jaw). There are also nasolabial folds, omission of eyelids. The most effective methods of rejuvenation are massages, radio wave lifting, SMAS lifting, lipolytic injections.
- The tired type of aging. In people with this type, age-related changes are manifested in an unhealthy complexion, the formation of bags under the eyes and nasolacrimal furrows, slight ptosis of the eyebrows, eyelids and corners of the lips. Fillers, peels, hardware lifting techniques are used as effective means of rejuvenation.
- Muscular type of aging. The signs of skin aging in this case are "crow's feet" around the eyes, hyperpigmentation, fine lines around the mouth, pronounced loose tissue, and no deformation of the face oval. Peelings, botulinum toxin and phototherapy are recommended for skin rejuvenation in the case of muscular aging.
The type of aging is not the only, albeit important, criterion when choosing rejuvenation methods. Anti-aging care is necessary for the skin after 30 years, the most effective anti-aging procedures or their complex will help you choose a beautician.
