With more than 50 years in women, estrogen production is drastically reduced, which affects the skin condition. Facial rejuvenation after 50 years without surgery is possible with the help of competent cosmetology methods and home care.

2 times a week it is worth making nourishing masks, as well as connecting self-massage and surface peels for the face.
cosmetics
The set of skin care cosmetics for women over 50 is the same as in previous years. But the composition of funds must be different.
Necessity:

For cleansing and toning you need:

- Facial Gommage (use once every 7-14 days, depending on skin type).
It is useful to cleanse the face with ice cubes - it tones and refreshes the skin. It is advisable to use decoctions of chamomile, succession, linden to make ice.
For hydration and nutrition, use day and night creams. Separately, you need to buy a cream for the periorbital region, but for the neck you can use the same products as for the face. It is not necessary to buy an expensive cream, pharmacy brands are also suitable.
Good anti-aging creams contain:
- AHA and BHA acids;
- Vitamins (tocopherol, retinol);
- coenzymes;
- peptides;
- Hyaluronic acid;

Masks are best to buy ready-made rather than making them yourself. After 50 years, nourishing and moisturizing masks are useful.
self massage
Massage will help keep you young. Ideally, it should be done by an experienced beautician, but self-massage is not excluded.
An effective technique is plastic massage. Provides various types of impact - kneading, caressing, vibration. The procedure starts with superficial effects, then moves on to deep kneading.
Basic facial massage techniques:
- caressing. Light caressing movements are performed towards the lines of least stretch (massage lines);
- Kneading is superficial. It is performed with four fingers (except the thumb), a movement that resembles the drawing of a spiral with small turns is performed;
- Deep kneading. It is performed with the five fingers and the palm of the hand, the pressure must be more intense;
- playing. It is done with the fingertips along all massage lines;
- Vibration. It is performed with the lower part of the palm, the movement is directed from the middle of the sternum along the collarbone to the ear and then to the temple.

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 impact is made by the convex part of the spoon. Caressing, rubbing and light tapping techniques are used. It is advisable to use silver spoons, but you can use regular ones. Before the session, warm oil is applied to the skin. The effect is done alternately with a cold and warm spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
Fitness
A controversial way to rejuvenate the face without injections and operations is gymnastics for the muscles of the face. Learning to do exercises at home is not difficult, the main thing is that classes are regular.
There are different sets of exercises on the Internet, but the opinion of our doctors is the same: gymnastics causes the appearance of facial wrinkles! Therefore, we do not recommend doing gymnastics, make a choice in favor of massage.
Salon treatments for facial rejuvenation without surgery
Salons offer various forms of rejuvenation after 55 years without surgery. These are traditional methods (peelings, massages, masks, skin care procedures), injection procedures (introduction of fillers, mesotherapy, biorevitalization) and hardware methods to influence the skin.

photorejuvenation
The essence of this procedure is exposing the skin to pulsed light. Radiation is a quantum flux that is provided by bursts. Various wavelengths are used. The maximum effect of the procedure does not appear immediately, but after completing the course. Thanks to the photorejuvenation procedure, the collagen structure and the skin structure are strengthened, the face is tightened and fine wrinkles are smoothed.

Grinding is one of the hardware stripping varieties. Only a doctor with higher medical education who holds a certificate can perform the procedure.
The rehabilitation process takes up to 4 weeks. But a pronounced result covers a long recovery after the procedure.
Thermage
Thermage is a hardware procedure based on exposure to radio frequency waves or RF radiation. It is performed using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The flow of energy destroys old skin structures. As a result, new collagen and elastin fibers are formed, providing a tensor effect.

Fractional laser rejuvenation after 50 years as an alternative to plastic
Fractional laser rejuvenation is also called:
- Fractional photothermolysis;
- Fractional peeling;
- Laser nanoperforation.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible using the fractional laser exposure technique. In terms of the effectiveness of a facelift, the procedure can be compared to using stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
It is necessary to carry out the procedure in a cosmetology clinic that has the appropriate certificates. Unspecialized use of the laser can result in burns and other adverse effects.
Advantages of the method
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of facial rejuvenation without surgery that has many advantages:

The patient should alert the cosmetologist about the presence of chronic diseases. The specialist based on this decides which technique can be used.
The essence of the procedure
The technique consists of impacting a laser beam on the deep layers of the skin. In the affected areas, the cells are "burned", which stimulates the regeneration process, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
It is recommended that women over the age of 50 use a non-ablative exposure method. Their difference is that there is no rehabilitation process. This allows you to smooth out even deep wrinkles without a rehabilitation period.
It is made
During the first few days after exposure, the skin will become inflamed.
It can be noted:
- In the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- In the first 1-2 days - redness;
- On day 2-3 - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be especially sensitive to sunlight, so it is necessary to apply a protective cream with SPF before going out.
After the peeling stops, the effect of the procedure will become noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, skin is firmer, face looks fresh. But to achieve a pronounced result, you need to go through a course of procedures. Your number is determined individually.
What 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 get a good effect when using:
- clear fruit peels;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These procedures are good for young women. After fifty and more than sixty years, combined techniques are needed that give a pronounced lifting effect and smooth out wrinkles.
Rejuvenation without surgery reviews
Opinions on facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive opinions, but there are also those who did not like the procedure.
- "With age, wrinkles and pronounced age spots appeared. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use non-surgical methods. The beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am satisfied with the procedure, I did it without severe pain and bruising. Already on the 6th day, the face looked decent, although it was more pink than usual. I can say that there is a result - the eyelids tightened, the wrinkles became smaller, the small pigment spots disappeared, but the big ones only remained pale. I'll repeat the process later. "
- "I'm afraid to have plastic surgery, so I took great care of my skin. But after 50, my face "collapsed", cheeks appeared, a second chin, a network of wrinkles. I opted for fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say , it was very painful for me, tears welled up in my eyes, I could hardly bear this execution. In the morning, I got up and was scared of myself in the mirror - a face like that of a beaten homeless man. Somehow survived 3 days, then it got better. But she could really "hang out with people" only after 2 weeks. My eye wrinkles disappeared, the oval became lighter, the nasolabial folds became less deep. The effect is not bad, but the second time I dare not bear this pain not even for the sake of beauty.
