"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 properly and safely, so that at 50 you can say that you deserve to admire your reflection and catch admiring glances.
It is best to lay the foundations for physical rejuvenation when you are young and after 30 years of training is already a mandatory part of self-care.
What are anti-aging (rejuvenating) treatments
Every woman has about an equal chance of getting one of two things by the age of 50: a "peach" face or a "baked apple" face. Preserved youth or misery.
Yes, there are insurmountable factors that can throw you extra years, such as genetics and hormonal disorders. 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 with refreshing procedures.
Mankind has been trying for thousands of years to invent the "elixir of youth". What was not used: hallucinogenic drinks, consumption of dried snakes and toads, breathing of young girls, shivering. . .
With the development of science, we have received a justification for what helps and what prevents the prolongation of youth.
Harmful:food waste, stress, ultraviolet radiation, alcohol, cigarettes. . .
Healthy:movement, positive emotions, regular and high quality intimate life, vitamins, unsaturated fats. . .
And, of course, anti-aging treatments. Their number is huge and they make a lot of money from it. Hundreds of billions of dollars (! ) Are earned each year with all kinds of "youth injections", hardware techniques, threads, cosmetic surgeries.
Yes, now they are not vipers, but "pharmacological findings", "technical inventions", "innovations" - in general, all kinds of progressive fruits with catchy names. Botulism treatment, mesotherapy, bio-rejuvenation, plasma straightening, contour plastic, RF-lifting, SMAS-lifting, photorejuvenation, cryolipolysis, dermabrasion, eyelid surgery, thread lifting, fractional laser rejuvenation. . . The list goes on and on.
But, unfortunately, the real effect of modern anti-aging techniques on the body is still very little understood. In most cases, there is no complete scientific research that reflects the consequences of an aesthetic intervention even for several years in the future, not to mention the long term.
Such studies are partly impossible due to the relative innovation of cosmetology in principle, but more importantly, they are also unprofitable. If science recorded all the consequences of "punitive" cosmetology, it could seriously undermine the industry.
After all, most salon surgeries are fiction, a short-term appearance of youth, behind which lies the impoverishment of tissues.
This does not mean that facial rejuvenation is impossible. Against. There are effective techniques.
But first first.
Indications for anti-aging procedures
Anti-aging procedures are mainly aimed at women 30+. It is generally accepted that at this age the skin changes from young to mature.
Although facial aging is not just a story about the skin. Also important: muscle tone, posture, static neck, tendon helmet mobility, blood circulation, lymphatic drainage. For this whole structure to work properly, you need to instill the right habits from childhood.
And it is best to start anti-aging procedures from the age of 20-25. After all, at this age the mechanisms of aging are activated. They may not be visible on the face yet, but the processes are already taking place, the blood flow is already starting to deteriorate. And the sooner you start turning negative processes in the opposite direction, the more you will stay young.
When do anti-aging treatments become mandatory (if, of course, you are looking for beauty)? Then when you notice the following marks on your face:
- loss of skin elasticity, reduced warp,
- floating contour of the face, "squaring" the oval,
- slipped under his cheeks and flew,
- wrinkles, creases, creases: from goose feet to nasolabial folds,
- the sunken corners of the lips and the wrinkles of sadness coming down from them,
- bags under the eyes and swelling,
- drooping corners of the eyes and protruding upper eyelids,
- dull skin, age spots,
- thinning of the skin, increased sensitivity.
Defects in the neck and décolleté area are also added here: flabby skin, "Aphrodite rings", "turkey goiter" (tissue droplets under the chin).
Cosmetology procedures for facial rejuvenation
Does the mirror remind you every time that you are no longer a girl? And I want to look fresher, to tighten and smooth everything, to lift the corners of the lips, the eyelids, the eyebrows. Cut off the mask of a woman who is sad and worn out by her life.
What to do?
The first step, actively imposed on modern women, is to turn to a beautician.
But we want to do everything right, without harming beauty, youth and health.
Therefore, let us understand how the vast majority of cosmetology techniques work.
The truth may surprise you, but cosmetology is:
- Fantastic youth.99% of procedures provide a short-term rejuvenating effect (if any). At the same time, the causes of aging are not eliminated, but worsened. When the result subsides a few months after the cosmetic intervention, the face will look bigger than before the procedure.
- Deterioration of tissue condition.The vast majority of invasive and material cosmetic surgeries are an aggressive invasion from the outside and a violation of the body's self-regulation. Stress. This effect is contrary to physiology. The body is forced to defend itself, to spend resources. This starts a series of negative processes. They suffer everything on which the youth of the face is based: skin, muscles, blood flow, lymphatic drainage.
- Health risk.Most cosmetic procedures (injections, threads, surgeries, microneedling, dermabrasion) violate the integrity of the body shell. Some (lasers, radio waves, light, heat) create internal burns. As a result, postoperative complications often occur. The severity varies from infection and inflammation to tissue necrosis (death), nerve palsy, speech dysfunction, blindness, etc.
- A blow to beauty.The result of cosmetic surgery, as a rule, has nothing to do with beauty. Swollen wax faces with irregular proportions and distorted features - we see these victims of "punitive" cosmetology in every corner. From fillers, the lips are transformed into amorphous "dumplings" and come out like a duck's beak. With Botox, the face loses the ability to express emotions, becomes immobile, often develops asymmetries (one eyebrow falls over the eyes, the lips go down at an angle). The "reinforcement" of threads can swell, shine, migrate, accumulate in pellets. These are just a few examples. There are many aesthetic side effects.
- Addiction.You sit on the needle and the scalpel of aesthetics. After all, when the result of the procedure weakens (and this happens very quickly), then the face becomes tired and wrinkled, "flows down". And you run again for a splint. From time to time the result becomes weaker. As a result, the face turns into an ugly mask with inhuman features.
- High costAn aesthetic procedure is very expensive. Most of the techniques involve exposure to lessons. Sometimes it takes up to 10-15 sessions per lesson and after six months, repeat everything again. In addition, cosmetologists often promote complex rejuvenation, using different techniques. As a result, the "investment" in deceptive youth is proving to be colossal. Be prepared to pay huge sums for a lifetime.
Types of modern anti-aging facial treatments
There are three main ways to deal with skin aging in salons: piercing, cutting or machine.
The first two options are accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the body shell, ie they are invasive techniques. Material techniques more often affect the inner layers of the tissues without damaging the skin.
Each of these areas is represented by a variety of specific techniques. The main ones are:
- Injection techniques:botulinum therapy (botox), contour plastics (fillers), mesotherapy, biorejuvenation, plasmolifting.
- Surgical techniques:flossing, wrinkle resection, eyelid surgery.
- 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, which causes 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.
- Paralyze some muscles and increase the load on others- Botox injections.
- Stretch the skin with fillers, which will also impede normal blood flow and tissue drainage.fillers.
- Everywhere to injure the skin with needles, turning it into a continuous healing wound:mesotherapy and bio-rejuvenation (cosmetics are injected into the face with hundreds of injections), plasma lifting (hundreds of injections of the patient's own plasma), micro-needle (face "wrapped" in blood with a needle roll or "stamped").
- Cut off excess skin and fat- wrinkle resection (surgical facelift), eyelid surgery (eyelid correction).
- "Sew" the face with absorbent or permanent threads, causing the degeneration of healthy collagen into fibrotic- thread lifting.
- Peel a squash, grate it and squeeze the juice- dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, chemical peeling.
- "Burn" the inner layers of the skin- lasers, ultrasounds, radio waves, light.
- Destroy tissues by freezing- cryolipolysis.
Where is the youth here? Nowhere. Only the worsening of misery.
How to be?
Anti-aging treatments at home
Let's define what we need:
- Security.No risks to health and beauty.
- An intense and lasting result, not a short-term rejuvenating appearance.This requires eliminating the causes of aging, starting the natural mechanisms of rejuvenation and not covering the problem.
Only natural rejuvenation techniques can give us this. Exercise, gymnastics and self-massage - this is what will help us lose 10-15 years from our face and maintain this result for years.
Of course, this is not the "magic" syringe of aesthetics. Do not expect instant "miracles". Here you need regularity and consistency. You should do it every day, for 15-30 minutes a day.
But after a few weeks you will notice the results and after a month they will become visible to those around you.
To look beautiful, make natural rejuvenation techniques your healthy daily habit for life.
In addition, the fact that you take care of yourself. This means that you:
- you begin to better understand your body,
- you do not pay huge sums for the fact that you eventually get older,
- 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 spasms that interfere with the movement of blood and lymph.
- Improve the supply of nutrients and oxygen to cells. you activate the "pumping" of any unnecessary and harmful of 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 by the blood and does not pull the short, limited muscles.
- You will improve the synthesis of collagen in the skin, you will "relax" the old attached fibers and you will renew the skin.
In addition, the exercises should be performed not only on the face.
What is the best way to get around?
- Start by correcting your attitude.Often there is the root of all age-related problems in the face. Work your back, shoulders, neck, and head veins - remove all clamps and cords that interfere with full blood flow, skin nutrition, and facial muscle work. Try some basic techniques: Lie on the cylinder.Stretching and relaxing the neck using the "Frame"
- Properly study the age-related defects on the face.Loose skin, wrinkles on the forehead, creases between the eyebrows, nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the mouth, goose feet, bags under the eyes, drooping eyelids, drooping corners of the lips, puffiness, floating contour, flies - all of them - double chincan be corrected. We do exercises and self-massage. We work with our hands, vacuum cleaner containers, dry brush, gouache scraper. Try some of the "golden collection" exercises:We open our eyes, we remove the protruding eyelids.Exercise "Liposhlep" against pouch wrinkles and to restore the volume of the lips.Intraoral massage for nasolabial folds.Facial massage with vacuum cups
Contraindications
It is natural for cosmetic surgeries, which, in principle, are contrary to physiology, to have several contraindications.
Natural rejuvenation techniques are a completely different matter. They can be used by almost everyone.
Of course, you have to use common sense. For example, if you have large protruding nevi or a skin infection, then you should avoid massaging yourself (topically or until healing). At the same time, it does not interfere with exercise.
Great! Even pregnant and breastfeeding women can run beauty marathons. You just have to skip a few individual exercises - they will be highlighted.
You can ask the osteopath accompanying the course about the compatibility of your diagnosis with marathon exercises.
How to properly prepare for anti-aging treatments
Among other things, the procedures in the living room are inconvenient. For example, they usually have to be prepared in advance.
- For half a month or a month, do not sunbathe actively.
- Avoid eating salty and spicy foods for several days.
- Drink less fluids.
- Do not drink alcoholic beverages, do not smoke.
- Observe the bans on certain medicines.
- Avoid strenuous physical activity.
As we can see, some prohibitions (on drinking, sports, drugs) are against the body. But even if the restrictions are useful, they are still additional difficulties.
And in the case of natural rejuvenation, no preparation is required. The maximum effort is to clean the skin immediately before the self-massage (in case of working with cans, you will need to apply oil or squalane). And that's it. Without restrictions and collapse of the usual way of life.
Recovery after the procedure
How you will feel after a rejuvenation treatment is also important.
After surgery, injection, hardware techniques, the recovery period is most often painful. Bruises, bruises, scars, swelling, irritation, wounds, bruises, etc. are common.
And restrictions can be very uncomfortable for life. Taboos can be imposed on the sun, sports, makeup, baths, saunas, food. . . Often you can not just touch your face or take a horizontal position.
What about natural rejuvenation? There is simply no recovery period here. The most "terrible" that can occur is that you will feel a pleasant tingling from the rush of blood in the treated area and a slight pain in the body. Even out of habit, bruises can appear after canning (then they will pass).
These are all signs that the right processes are starting in the body.
Effective procedures after 30-35 years
After 30 years, the verdict passes in the skin: "Mature". By this time, the metabolism in the cells and the production of the "building" protein is slowing down. Block function is weakened. Humidity, turbulence, elasticity are reduced.
For cosmetologists, this is a reason to "recruit" new "victims" into their clientele. They impose on young and flowery women the idea that it is already necessary to do chemical peels, to undergo mesotherapy or biorejuvenation once every six months, to use hardware techniques, etc.
With the slightest first wrinkle, they campaign for botulism treatment. It is supposed that it will be possible to avoid the appearance of deep wrinkles in the future. But we already know that because of the muscle paralysis and the breakdown of the whole muscle formation, everything will be just the opposite: the defects will appear earlier.
None of this can be done.
What can you do? Massage, exercises, gymnastics. In addition, natural rejuvenation techniques are not specialized by age. They are suitable for everyone: from female students to deeply retired women.
As we have 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 more pronounced. Wrinkles, nasal lips, volume loss, flabby skin, cloudy outline, fins, sunken face. . . The skin needs to be straightened.
In the language of cosmetologists, this means regular Botox injections, contouring fillers, more frequent mesotherapy sessions, plasma facelifts, lasers, microcurrents, etc. It is already advisable to place threads under the skin.
Many different procedures have been prescribed for you ("integrated approach"). You should visit the beautician more often.
There is only one safe and effective alternative for women over 40 - natural rejuvenation. We do the same exercises as at any other age.
If you started practicing at the age of 30, now you do not look worse than 10 years ago and probably better. Do not stop.
Effective treatments after 50 years
In menopause (50 +/- 5 years) and after, the main blow to youth. In addition to poor blood circulation, the elimination of hormonal activity is added.
Due to the hormonal decline, the renewal of fibroblasts - cells in which the main components of youthful skin are produced - has stopped. The network of blood vessels also declines. In general, the production of the "beauty hormone" estrogen collapses and with it the beauty itself evaporates.
Here, the intensity and frequency of cosmetic surgery will go beyond the scale. Surgical techniques will be added to the numerous non-surgical techniques and based on priority rights. Fabrics will cut and stretch, cut and stretch. In the most "human" case - for reinforcement.
Mirror reflection at this age, if you have been addicted to the needle for a long time, will not please you anymore. And it will be difficult to abandon "punitive" cosmetology: it is not clear what to do then with all the misery it has created.
The recipe for women 50+ is the same: natural rejuvenation. It's 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 health of the body, start natural rejuvenation procedures, remove swelling and relieve muscle spasticity.
