"At 50, you have the face you deserve, " said Coco Chanel.
What do you deserve?
We'll tell you how to perform the anti-aging procedures correctly and safely, so that at age 50 you can say that you deserve to admire your reflection and see admiring glances.
It's best to lay the groundwork for natural rejuvenation when you're young, and after 30 years of training it's already a mandatory part of self-care.
What are anti-aging treatments (rejuvenating)
Every woman has approximately equal chances of getting one of two things at age 50: a "peach" face or a "roasted apple" face. Preserved youth or decrepitude.
Yes, there are insurmountable factors that can accumulate 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 of this youth orchestra is played by rejuvenating procedures.
Humanity has been trying for thousands of years to invent the "elixir of youth". What has not been used: hallucinogenic drinks, eating dry snakes and frogs, girls' breathing, moxibustion. . .
With the development of science, we receive a justification for what helps and what prevents the continuation of youth.
Harmful:food waste, stress, ultraviolet light, alcohol, cigarettes . . .
Healthy:movement, positive emotions, regular and high quality intimate life, vitamins, unsaturated fats . . .
And, of course, anti-aging treatments. There are a great number of them and a lot of money is being made from them. Hundreds of billions of dollars (! ) A year is earned in all kinds of "youth injections", hardware techniques, wires, cosmetic surgeries.
Yes, now these are not agarics with vipers, but "pharmacological discoveries", "technical inventions", "innovations" - in general all sorts of fruits of progress with catchy names. Botulinum therapy, mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasma lift, contour repair, RF lift, SMAS lift, photorejuvenation, cryolipolysis, dermabrasion, blepharoplasty, wire lift, fractional laser rejuvenation. . . The list is endless.
But unfortunately, the true effect of modern anti-aging techniques on the body is still very poorly understood. In most cases, there is no complete scientific research that reflects the consequences of a cosmetic intervention even several years ahead, let alone the long term.
These studies are partially impossible due to the relative novelty of cosmetology in principle, but more importantly, they are also unprofitable. If science were to record all the consequences of "punitive" cosmetology, it could seriously harm the industry.
After all, most salon procedures are fiction, a passing apparition of youth, behind which hides the decrepitude of fabrics.
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 intended for women over 30 years of age. It is generally accepted that it is at this age that the skin changes from young to mature.
Although facial aging is not just a story about the skin. Also important: muscle tone, posture, neck static, tendon helmet mobility, blood circulation, lymphatic drainage. For this whole structure to work perfectly, you need to instill the right habits from childhood.
And it is ideal to start anti-aging procedures as early as 20-25 years old. After all, it is at this age that the aging mechanisms are triggered. They may not yet be visible on the face, but the processes are already taking place, the blood flow is already starting to deteriorate. And the sooner you start directing negative processes in the opposite direction, the longer you'll stay young.
When do anti-aging treatments become mandatory (if, of course, you strive for beauty)? So when you notice the following signs on your face:
- loss of skin elasticity, decreased turgor,
- floating contour of the face, "squared" the oval,
- sliding down her cheeks and flew,
- wrinkles, folds, creases: from crow's feet to nasolabials,
- the drooping corners of the lips and the wrinkles of sadness running down from them,
- bags under the eyes and swelling,
- drooping corners of the eyes and protruding upper eyelids,
- opaque skin, age spots,
- thinning of the skin, increased sensitivity.
Defects in the neck and décolleté region are also added here: sagging skin, "rings of Venus", "turkey goiter" (droplets of tissue under the chin).
Cosmetology procedures for facial rejuvenation
Does the mirror remind you every time you're not a girl anymore? And I want to look more refreshed, tighten and smooth everything, lift the corners of my lips, eyelids, eyebrows. Ripping off the mask of a woman sad and exhausted by life.
What to do?
The first step, which is actively imposed on modern women, is to go to a beautician.
But we want to do everything right, without harming beauty, youth and health.
So let's find out how the vast majority of cosmetology techniques work.
The truth may surprise you, but cosmetology is:
- Imaginary youth.99% of procedures provide a short-term rejuvenating effect (if any). At the same time, the causes of aging are not eliminated but aggravated. When the effect wears off a few months after the cosmetic intervention, the face will look older than it did before the procedure.
- Deterioration of tissue condition.The vast majority of invasive cosmetic and hardware procedures are an aggressive invasion from the outside and a violation of the body's self-regulation. Stress. This effect goes against physiology. The body is forced to defend itself, to spend resources. This starts a series of negative processes. Everything on which the face's youth rests suffers: skin, muscles, blood flow, lymphatic drainage.
- Health risks.Most cosmetic procedures (injections, wires, surgeries, microneedling, dermabrasion) violate the integrity of the body structure. Some (laser, radio waves, light, thermal damage) create internal burns. Therefore, complications often arise after the procedures. The severity ranges from infection and inflammation to tissue necrosis (death), nerve palsy, speech disorders, blindness, etc.
- A blow to beauty.The result of aesthetic procedures, as a rule, has little to do with beauty. Wax-swollen faces with irregular proportions and distorted features - we see these victims of "punitive" cosmetology around every corner. From the fillings, the lips turn into shapeless "muffins" and end up like a duck's beak. With Botox, the face loses the ability to express emotions, it remains immobile, asymmetries usually develop (an eyebrow falls over the eyes, the lips descend into a corner). "Armor" made of threads can protrude, shine, migrate, clump together. These are just some examples. There are many aesthetic side effects.
- Addiction.You sit on the beautician's needle and scalpel. After all, when the effect of the procedure wears off (and it happens very quickly), the face is drawn and wrinkled, it "sags. "And you're running for a brace again. From time to time, the effect gets weaker. As a result, the face turns into an ugly mask with inhuman features.
- High costA cosmetic procedure is very expensive. Most techniques involve exposure to courses. Sometimes it is necessary to go through up to 10-15 sessions per course and, after six months, repeat it all over again. In addition, cosmetologists usually promote complex rejuvenation, that is, using different techniques. As a result, the "investment" in illusory youth turns out to be colossal. Be ready to pay large amounts of money for your life.
Types of modern anti-aging facial treatments
There are three main ways to treat aging skin in salons: puncture, cut or machine.
The first two options are accompanied by violation of the integrity of the bodywork, that is, they are invasive techniques. Hardware techniques generally 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 therapy (botox), contouring plastics (fillers), mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasmolifting.
- Surgical Techniques:wire lifting, rhytidectomy, blepharoplasty.
- Hardware Techniques: laser, radio waves, ultrasound, light, cold.
And none of these methods are friendly to our bodies. It's always an aggressive invasion from the outside, wreaking havoc, stress.
Is there a principle of influence somewhere that takes into account the interests of our physiology? Not.
Judge for yourself what options are offered.
- Paralyze some muscles and increase the load on others- Botox injections.
- Stretch the skin with fillers, which also interferes with normal blood flow and tissue drainage- fillings.
- Everywhere to wound the skin with needles, turning it into a continuous healed wound:mesotherapy and biorevitalization (cosmetic preparations are injected into the face with the help of hundreds of injections), plasma lifting (hundreds of injections of the patient's own plasma), microneedling (the face is "rolled" into blood with a needle roller or "Sealed" with a needle stamp).
- Cut off excess skin and fat- rhytidectomy (surgical lifting), blepharoplasty (eyelid correction).
- "Sewing" the face with absorbable or permanent threads, causing the degeneration of healthy collagen into fibrotic- thread lifting.
- Remove layers of skin like emery- dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, chemical peeling.
- "Burn" the inner layers of the skin- laser, ultrasound, radio waves, light.
- destroy tissue by freezing- cryolipolysis.
Where is the youth here? Nowhere. Only the worsening of decrepitude.
How to be?
Anti-aging treatments at home
Let's define what we need:
- Safety.No health and beauty risks.
- A pronounced and lasting result, not an appearance of short-term rejuvenation.This requires eliminating the causes of aging, initiating natural rejuvenating mechanisms, not masking the problem.
This can only be given to us through natural rejuvenation techniques. Exercise, gymnastics and self-massage - this is what will help us to lose 10 to 15 years of the face and keep that result for years.
This, of course, is not a beautician's "magic" syringe. Don't expect instant "miracles". Regularity and consistency are needed here. You need to do this every day for 15-30 minutes a day.
But after a few weeks, you'll notice the results, and after a month, they'll become obvious to those around you.
To look good, make natural rejuvenation techniques your healthy, lifelong daily habit.
Besides the fact that you take care of yourself. This means that you:
- you start to understand your body better,
- you don't pay large sums because you get old,
- you can exercise at any convenient time and not fit in with anyone.
What will you get?
- Restores blood and lymph flow. You will relieve spasms that interfere with blood and lymph circulation.
- Improve the supply of nutrients and oxygen to cells; you enable "pumping" everything that is unnecessary and harmful from them.
- You will restore healthy tone and natural length to your face and neck muscles. This is necessary so that the skin is better absorbed by the blood and does not force the shortened and contracted muscles.
- You will improve collagen synthesis in the dermis, "loosen" old adhered fibers and renew the skin.
Furthermore, the exercises should not be performed only on the face.
What's the best way to move?
- Start by correcting your posture.Often there is the root cause of all age-related problems in the face. Work with the back, shoulders, neck, head aponeurosis - remove any tweezers and cords that interfere with total blood flow, skin nourishment and facial muscle work. Try some basic techniques:We lay on the roll.Stretch and relax your neck using the "Frame"
- Move on to the accurate study of age-related facial defects.Loose skin, forehead wrinkles, creases between the eyebrows, nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the mouth, crow's feet, bags under the eyes, drooping eyelids, drooping lip corners, swelling, floating contour, double chin, double chin this can be fixed. We do exercises and self-massage. We work with hands, vacuum cans, dry brush, gouache scraper. Try some of the exercises in the "Golden Collection":We open our eyes, remove the protruding eyelids.Exercise "Liposhep" against purse wrinkles and to restore lip volume.Intraoral massage for nasolabial folds.facial massage with suction cups
Contraindications
It is natural that cosmetic procedures, which at first go against physiology, have several contraindications.
Natural rejuvenation techniques are an entirely different matter. They can be used by almost everyone.
Of course, you need to use common sense. For example, if you have large, raised patches or a skin infection, you should avoid self-massage (locally or even healing). At the same time, it doesn't interfere with gymnastics.
Important! Even pregnant and nursing women can run beauty marathons. You just have to skip a few individual exercises - they will be flagged.
You can ask the osteopath following the course about the compatibility of your diagnosis with the 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.
- For half a month or a month, do not take active sunbathing.
- Avoid eating salty and spicy foods for several days.
- Drink less fluids.
- Do not drink alcoholic beverages, do not smoke.
- Respect the prohibition of certain medications.
- Avoid intense physical activity.
As we can see, some prohibitions (on drinking, playing sports, medicine) go against the body. But even if the restrictions are helpful, they are still additional difficulties.
And in the case of natural rejuvenation, no preparation is needed. The maximum effort is to clean the skin immediately before self-massage (if working with cans, it will still be necessary to apply oil or squalane). And, That's all. No restrictions and disruption of the usual way of life.
Rehabilitation after the procedure
How you will feel after a rejuvenation treatment is also important.
After surgical, injection and hardware techniques, the rehabilitation period is 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, bathing, saunas, diet. . . Often you can't just touch the face or stay horizontal.
What about natural rejuvenation? There is simply no rehab period here. The most "terrible" thing that can come up is that you will feel a pleasant tingling with the blood flow to the spotted area and a slight ache in your body. Even out of habit, bruises can appear after the cans (so they'll go away).
These are all signs that the right processes are starting in the body.
Effective procedures after 30-35 years
After 30 years, the verdict is passed to the skin: "Mature". At this point, metabolism in the cells and production of the "builder" protein slow down. The barrier function is weakened. Moisture, turgor and elasticity are decreasing.
For cosmetologists, this is a reason to "recruit" new "victims" for their clientele. They impose on young and exuberant women the idea that it is already necessary to have chemical peels, to undergo mesotherapy or biorevitalization every six months, to use hardware techniques, etc.
In the first wrinkles, they campaign for botulinum therapy. Supposedly, it will be possible to prevent the appearance of deep wrinkles in the future. But we already know that due to muscle paralysis and the collapse of the entire muscle configuration, everything will be exactly the opposite: defects will appear before their time.
None of this can be done.
What can you do? Massages, exercises, gymnastics. Also, natural rejuvenation techniques do not specialize by age. They are suitable for everyone from students to deeply retired women.
As we've already said, they should become a mandatory program for women over 30 who take care of themselves.
Effective treatments after 40 years
After 40 years, the signs of aging already become pronounced. Wrinkles, nasolabials, loss of volume, sagging skin, blurred contour, flies, hollow aspect. . . The skin needs to be lifted.
In cosmetologists' language, this means regular Botox injections, plastic contouring (fills), more frequent mesotherapy sessions, plasma lifting, lasers, microcurrents, etc. It is already considered appropriate to install wires under the skin.
Many different procedures are prescribed to you ("an integrated approach"). You need to 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 any other age.
If you started practicing at age 30, now it doesn't look any worse than it did 10 years ago, and most likely better. Do not stop.
Effective treatments after 50 years
At menopause (50 +/- 5 years) and beyond, the main blow to youth is delivered. In addition to poor blood circulation, extinction of hormonal activity is also added.
Due to hormonal decline, the renewal of fibroblasts - cells in which the main components of young skin are produced - is stopped. The blood vessel network is also regressing. Usually, 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 the numerous non-surgical techniques and based on the right of priority. Fabrics will cut and stretch, cut and stretch. In the most "human" case - to reinforce.
The reflection in the mirror at this age, if you've become addicted to needles for a long time, it won't please you anymore. And it will be difficult to abandon "punitive" cosmetology: it is not clear what to do then with all the decrepitude it created.
The recipe for women over 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 isbeautiful young face, healthy back and real posturewith the simplest exercises and effective self-massage techniques, you can achieve this in just 21 days. The marathon is a unique set of simple and effective techniques and exercises designed to improve the health of the body, launch natural rejuvenating processes, remove edema and alleviate muscle spasticity.
