Anti-aging cosmetic procedures for the face [in the salon] – types of how they are carried out

Indications for anti-aging facial procedures in the cosmetologist’s office

The process of chronological aging of the skin begins at the age of 25, and by the age of 30, the first age-related changes become noticeable on the face – dryness, decrease in tone, skin elasticity, wrinkles, lines of dehydration. It is easier to prevent the manifestation of such skin changes than to get rid of already existing age-related changes.

Timely corrective care will help prevent premature skin aging. If the changes on the face with age have become visible to the naked eye, are difficult to correct with the help of a home routine, or you want to enhance the result from it, it makes sense to turn to facial rejuvenation procedures.

Effective hardware procedures for rejuvenation

Hardware procedures are aimed at rejuvenating the appearance and improving the condition of mature skin. They are performed in the cosmetologist’s office using special professional equipment that acts on the skin using, for example, a laser, microcurrents, pulsed current, light or sound waves.

Hardware methods of skin rejuvenation are carried out in courses, they are considered the safest, practically painless and, with a complex effect on the skin, show a lasting anti-aging result. Among them are:

  • SMAS lifting (lifting the face oval with the help of sound waves).
  • Microcurrent therapy will help get rid of swelling on the face due to edema, restore skin tone and elasticity.
  • Laser rejuvenation occurs through exposure to a laser beam that removes the top layer of the skin for its subsequent accelerated renewal. Requires rehabilitation from 5 to 7 days.
  • Photorejuvenation is a non-invasive procedure, performed using intense pulsed skin irradiation and reducing the signs of aging, does not require long-term rehabilitation.
  • Non-injection mesotherapy increases the permeability of the skin and the absorption of active substances in the preparations.
  • Biorevitalization promotes intensive hydration of the skin with the help of hyaluronic acid, helps to correct mimic wrinkles, including those around the eyes, and other age-related imperfections of the mature skin of the face, neck, and décolleté.

Injectable rejuvenating facial treatments

Among the most popular injection procedures for facial rejuvenation, mesotherapy and biorevitalization can also be distinguished. Unlike hardware alternatives, in this case, nourishing and moisturizing formulations are injected into the skin using multiple micro-injections. Such procedures are more traumatic than their non-injection counterparts.

Another quick way to “freeze” the signs of aging on the face is with Botox injections or the introduction of hyaluronic fillers into the deepest creases. Botulinum toxin preparations ( ) block neuromuscular impulses, reduce the activity of facial expressions and thereby minimize wrinkles. Hyaluronic fillers help fill in static wrinkles, smoothing out the relief of the face.

Aesthetic cosmetology for facial skin

Aesthetic cosmetology is a traditional salon care aimed at restoring, moisturizing, nourishing, and renewing the skin. Among the most effective of them are: peelings for intensive renewal of the upper layers of the skin and smoothing the relief and tone of the face, rejuvenating masks based on hydrofixatives and nutritional components, as well as lifting massage to strengthen the facial muscles. Let’s take a closer look at how they work:

Peelings for skin rejuvenation

The purpose of peels is to exfoliate the skin. They help exfoliate horny cells and activate the processes of natural renewal of the epidermis. What are the types of peels?

  • mechanical – exfoliate the skin with abrasive particles;
  • chemical (acid) – fruit acids effectively destroy intercellular bonds and stimulate cell exfoliation with subsequent skin regeneration;
  • enzyme – light superficial peels based on enzymes (or enzymes) that break bonds between dead scales.

Anti-aging masks

In cosmetology, professional highly effective products that affect the epidermis are used. To achieve a visible result, the procedure is carried out in courses, often in addition to renewing peels and facial massage. The composition of anti-aging masks often includes the following active ingredients:

  • Hyaluronic acid that hydrates the skin and prevents transepidermal moisture loss from the skin
  • Peptides that stimulate the synthesis of natural collagen and elastin and increase skin elasticity.
  • Lipids to strengthen and restore the protective barrier of the skin and prevent its dehydration.
  • Antioxidants to protect against oxidative stress.

Lifting facial massage

A professional cosmetic facial massage will help improve blood circulation and oxygenation of skin cells, activate the lymphatic drainage system, restore skin tone, healthy color and radiance. Lifting facial massage is recommended from 35-40 years old, when age-related changes become noticeable.

The choice of procedure depending on age

Depending on how old you are, how pronounced the decrease in skin tone, elasticity and firmness, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and gravitational ptosis (omission of facial and neck tissues) are noticeable, the cosmetologist will select an individual scheme of suitable and effective procedures for you.

  • For skin under the age of 25, anti-aging procedures will not be needed, corrective home care will be sufficient: gentle cleansing, toning, intensive moisturizing.
  • For skin from the age of 25 (from the moment when the natural synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid decreases), cosmetologists recommend peeling to accelerate the renewal of skin cells and hardware methods of moisturizing the epidermis.
  • For mature skin aged 35+, procedures that affect the deeper layers of the skin, such as classic mesotherapy and biorevitalization, laser resurfacing, lipid and peptide-based care, lifting massages, are suitable.
  • For rejuvenation after 40 years, at a time when the natural ability of cells to renew themselves and synthesize the necessary proteins to maintain skin tone and turgor is reduced, radical methods for correcting signs of aging are suitable: contouring or facelift.
