A few decades ago, aging was thought to be an unstoppable process.However, cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation offered by beauticians in modern beauty salons prove the fallacy of this statement, since with their help you can not only slow down the aging process of the skin, but also significantly improve its appearance.Today, there are dozens of effective skin rejuvenation methods (injectables, hardware, mechanical) with different mechanisms of action and benefits, the most popular of which are described below.
Chemical Peels – Skin Prevention and Rejuvenation
Peels are the most effective non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedures and work by applying chemicals to cause superficial burns to the skin.Damage to the epidermis and upper dermis by aggressive chemical elements (fruit acids, phenols, enzymes, trichloroacetic acid) activates the skin's self-regeneration and renewal processes, thereby eliminating wrinkles and age spots, normalizing skin elasticity and halting the aging process.
In salons, the most effective are superficial, medium and intermediate peels, which stimulate peeling of the epidermis, thereby renewing the dermal cells and activating their internal reserves.The depth of exposure depends on the concentration of the chemical, as well as the active ingredient of the peeling agent, and is independently selected by the beautician based on the patient's skin type, age, and indications for surgery.
The cost of a chemical peel depends on the ingredients of the peel.
“Cosmetic” injections
Skin rejuvenation injection technology, which beauticians call "beauty injections", introduces drugs into the deep layers of the epidermis and dermis through injection, starting the skin rejuvenation process from the inside and eliminating signs of aging - smoothing wrinkles, improving skin tone, increasing skin elasticity, and lightening pigments.There are many types of injectable skin rejuvenation, but the most effective methods include the following:
- Mesotherapy– Mesotherapy cocktail is injected deep into the mesoderm, stimulating the function of the main structural elements of the epidermis and dermis, increasing the protective properties of the epidermis and normalizing the production of collagen and elastin;
- biological regeneration– An injectable rejuvenation procedure that introduces a special gel deep into the dermis to moisturize the skin, increase the elasticity of the collagen framework, and eliminate the main signs of skin aging
- Contour plastic surgery– A technique aimed at three-dimensional modeling and rejuvenation of facial skin, involving the introduction of dense gel preparations (fillers) into the deep layers of the skin, filling wrinkles and restoring volume to soft tissues;
- Botulinum toxin injection– A method based on botulinum toxin type A blocking the intercellular neuromuscular transmission process and causing temporary paralysis of facial muscles (helps to smooth wrinkles and increase the plumpness of skin fibers; combined with other skin rejuvenation injection methods to achieve the maximum effect of botulinum toxin therapy);
- plasma boost– A type of mesotherapy – this technique is based on the introduction of the patient’s own purified plasma into the deeper layers of the dermis (the plasma is collected and purified before treatment), thus stimulating the work of the structural components of the dermis and activating the natural regeneration processes of the skin cells;
- Ozone therapy and carbon oxygen therapy– Innovative skin regeneration method based on the injection of specially prepared solutions of ozone (ozonotherapy) or carbon dioxide (carboxystepi) into the dermis, which fills the skin cells with oxygen, improves the function of fibroblasts and stimulates the production of natural hyaluronic acid.
In addition to injection rejuvenation methods, it also includes thread lift (thread lift), which introduces special threads into the deep dermis to lift the facial soft tissue and form a dense framework to prevent sagging.This method is a fundamental way to combat the signs of aging and is a safe, non-invasive alternative to plastic surgery.
The magic of hardware beauty
Hardware beauty has become increasingly popular recently, since salon procedures based on the use of special beauty equipment allow you to get rid of the main signs of skin aging in the shortest possible time and at a relatively low cost.
Among the hardware methods of skin care, the following are most worthy of attention:
- Phototherapy– An effective dermal and epidermal photorejuvenation technology based on the treatment of the skin with high-intensity light fluxes of different wavelengths (the process is absolutely painless and the results are immediately visible);
- RF boost– A method based on the use of bipolar radiofrequency energy, which heats the dermis and stimulates the work of all its structural components, which helps to slow down the aging process, smooth wrinkles and normalize the elasticity of skin fibers;
- microcurrent therapy– A technique that improves the functional activity of facial muscles by exposing muscle fibers to high pulsed electrical current (types of microcurrent therapy include darsonvalization, galvanotherapy, muscle stimulation, iontophoresis).
Particularly popular with esthetician patients are laser skin rejuvenation techniques – laser resurfacing, fractional photothermal treatment and laser nanopiercing.The mechanism of action of the procedure is based on the ability of laser radiation to cause micro-damage to the epidermal surface, thereby activating the skin's natural repair and regeneration processes.Laser facial treatments are relatively expensive, but with their help you can significantly slow down epidermal aging and eliminate wrinkles and other signs of age-related skin changes in the shortest possible time.
Skin aging is an inevitable process, but high-quality home care and regular visits to beauty salons with the right cosmetic procedures chosen by your doctor can significantly slow down the process.
