Self-massage
Massage will help you stay young. Ideally, it should be done by an experienced beautician, but self-massage is not ruled out.
An effective technique is plastic massage. Provides different types of impacts - kneading, stroking, vibrating. The process starts with surface effects, then they pass to the deep kneading.
Basic facial massage techniques:
- Caressing. Light caressing movements are performed in the direction of the lines with the least stretching (massage lines).
- The dough is superficial. It is performed with four fingers (except the thumb), a movement similar to the design of a spiral with small turns is performed.
- Deep kneading. Performed with the five fingers and the palm, the pressure should be more intense.
- drilling. It is done with the fingertips along all the massage lines.
- Vibration. Performed with the lower palm, the movement is directed from the middle of the sternum along the key to the ear and further to the temple.
Before the massage session, the face is cleansed of cosmetics and powdered with talcum powder. Instead of talc, some cosmetologists use cosmetic oil.
Another technique is a complex massage with tablespoons. For the procedure, you need to prepare two containers filled with hot and cold water, a few spoons, cosmetic oil.
The percussion is done from the convex part of the spoon. Caressing, rubbing, light stroking techniques are used. It is recommended to use silver spoons, but you can get the normal ones. Before the session, warm oil is applied to the skin. The result is alternated with a cold and hot spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.

Photorejuvenation
The essence of this process is the exposure of the skin to pulsed light. Radiation is a quantum flux provided by explosions. Different wavelengths are used. The maximum result of the procedure does not appear immediately, but after the completion of the course. Thanks to the process of photorejuvenation, the collagen framework and the structure of the skin are strengthened, the face is tightened and fine wrinkles are smoothed.

Grinding is one of the varieties of material peeling. Only a certified doctor with higher medical education can perform the procedure.
The recovery process takes up to 4 weeks. But a strong result covers a long recovery after the procedure.
Thermage
Thermage is a material process based on exposure to radio frequency waves or radio frequency radiation. It is performed using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The flow of energy destroys the old structures of the skin. As a result, new collagen and elastin fibers are formed, providing a tightening effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, as well as for other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.

The essence of the process
The technique consists of hitting a laser beam into the deep layers of the skin. In the affected areas, the cells "burn", which stimulates the regeneration process, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women aged 50+ are advised to use a non-abstract method of exposure. The difference is that there is no recovery process. This allows you to smooth out even the deepest wrinkles without a recovery period.
Result
In the first days after exposure, the skin will become inflamed.
It can be noted:
- The first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation.
- The first 1-2 days - redness.
- Day 2-3 - peeling, lasting 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be particularly sensitive to sunlight, so you should apply a protective cream with SPF before going out.
Once the peeling stops, the result of the process will be felt. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin tightens, the face looks fresh. But to achieve a strong result, you have to go through a process. Their number is determined individually.
Which methods are ineffective at this age
Assistance in choosing the appropriate rejuvenation method will be provided by a professional cosmetologist.
After 50 years, it will not be possible to achieve a good result when using:
- Light fruit peels.
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These procedures are good for young women. After fifty and even more sixty years, you need combination techniques that give a strong lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.
Rejuvenation reviews without surgery
Criticisms of facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive aspects, but there are also those who did not like the procedure.
- "With age, wrinkles and intense age spots appeared. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use non-surgical methods. The beautician recommended fractional laser renewal. I am satisfied with the process, I did without severe pain and bruising. Already on the 6th day, the face looked decent, although it was pinker than usual. I can say that there is a result - the eyelids tightened, the wrinkles became smaller, the small pigment spots disappeared, but the large ones only became pale. I will repeat the process later. "
- "I'm afraid to do plastic surgery, so I took care of my skin very carefully. But after 50, the face "collapsed", there were cheeks, a second chin, a network of wrinkles. I chose fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it was very painful for me, tears flowed from my eyes, I could hardly bear this execution. In the morning I got up and scared myself in the mirror - a face like that of a battered homeless man. Somehow he survived 3 days, then improved. But it could really "come out to people" only after 2 weeks. The wrinkles of my eyes disappeared, the oval became clearer, the nasolabial folds became less deep. The result is not bad, but the second time I will not dare to endure this pain even for the sake of beauty.
