Every woman, after reaching a certain age, when she can no longer hide, begins an active struggle with it. Losing their former attractiveness, the fair sex can use a variety of methods to influence the visible wrinkles and pigment. Women want to restore the elasticity of the human skin, muscles and post-ovals. Some buy expensive cosmetic preparations, others do fitness complexes and resort to such a procedure as rejuvenation, while still others use traditional methods of medicine.
People who use the procedures of modern cosmetology that offer specialized clinics and salons are the right choice.
Let us consider in more detail the methods based on tightening the facial muscles.
Non-surgical methods for tightening the facial muscles
Any operation is a serious risk and stress to the body. Every woman can have surgery. However, surgery is not always required to achieve the desired muscle tightening result.
Women can fight time in more harmless and quieter ways. It should be noted that surgery may be contraindicated even in some cases.
You can fix an oval by enlisting the help of cosmetologists, which will save money significantly compared to the operation. A hardware face lift is a fairly common procedure.
Lifting is one of the most popular hardware methods in cosmetology. At the moment, there are a large number of instructions that help to tighten the face (correct the oval, get rid of excess skin). Let’s talk about the most famous ones.
Cryolifting is a muscle tightening method based on the effect of temperature shock. The procedure is performed by using special equipment, which has a temperature of up to -20 ° C. at its hardware nozzle. Because low temperature affects the skin, swelling of the face decreases, collagen is produced more rapidly, and capillary activity is stimulated. Maximum effect is achieved during the course (from six to ten procedures).
Ultrasonic SMAS lifting is a muscle tightening method that has a clear effect immediately after the first session, which is fixed in the next three months, and the result lasts up to five years. By using ultrasonic waves on the muscles and ligaments (deep layers of human skin, neck), the cosmetologist achieves the desired changes. The sharpening mechanism works on the principle of ultrasound machine. In real time, a monitor specialist looks at how soft tissues change and what layer the device is affected by.
Raising RF. The essence of this method of tightening muscles is the effect on human skin with radio frequency pulses. During the procedure, the epidermis goes up, thereby contracting collagen fibers and muscles. After the fourth session, the changes are obvious: the skin on the face becomes tighter and tighter. Thanks to the cumulative effect after a few months, the result will be even better.
Fractional photothermolysis is a technology for lifting facial muscles using laser correction. Radiation eliminates existing collagen, stimulates epidermal cells, promotes facial muscles and new collagen production in the shortest possible time. Due to this activity of the cells, the skin gets a pleasant color, shines and smoothes. To achieve the effect, at least three procedures are required.
Raising acupuncture - acupuncture. For this procedure, special needles are used, which act on biologically active points located on the human face. Certain skills are required to use this technique. You need to know where the desired points are. Human contraction due to this muscle tightening becomes clearer as a result of activation of muscle fibers.
There are clear advantages to this method:
- Security. There are practically no side effects and complications, unlike other methods to tighten muscles.
- The fastest visible result.
- Acupuncture has a positive effect on the body (internal organs, muscles) due to the effect on the nerve endings (biologically active points) on the face.
- The method promotes relaxation and has an anti-stress effect.
- You can combine acupuncture lifting with other cosmetic procedures. With an integrated approach, a longer result is achieved.

Surgical methods to tighten human muscles
Rhytidectomy (circular lift) is an operation to tighten human muscles, and its task is to remove fat, deposits, excess tissue, as well as remove deep wrinkles (from the face and neck). , double chin and nasolabial folds. The result is a remarkable renewal.
It can be deep, shallow and mixed.
There are three stages in superficial rhytidectomy:
- An incision is made from the hairline in the temple area, following down the visible border of the auricle, then under the lobe, returning to the border of the hair behind the ear. If the second chin needs to be removed, another incision is made: on the lower jaw from the inside close to the chin.
- Moreover, the skin is separated from the underlying tissues. Remove excess muscle and, if necessary, fat cells.
- The final step is skin tightening. The edges are aligned, seams are applied.
Circular deep elevation (SMAS elevation) is a method of eliminating wrinkles with face circumference correction. During the procedure, the tendon and muscular-facial complexes are displaced simultaneously with the superficial rhytidectomy. The result has a long-term effect, but at the same time the recovery time increases.
Combined rhytidectomy. With this method, correction due to tissue tension occurs in different directions. Too much tissue near the outer border of the masseter muscles is added to the surface and deep circular rise.
The operation can take anywhere between two and six hours. It all depends on the type of procedure, the complexity and the desired result. The recovery period usually takes about three weeks and consists of the cessation of physical exercise. It is forbidden to lift weights, to make inclinations. You need sleep on your back. It is necessary to limit sun exposure, heat exposure (do not take baths, do not visit saunas and baths for about three months).
The result will be achieved after 3 months and will last 5-10 years.
SMAS (spacelift) plastic is an up-to-date technique for correcting oval and human relief by simultaneously eliminating wrinkles. With this lift, the muscle tissue is displaced. Unlike the circular one, which only affects the upper layers of the skin, here they affect the deep layers and structures (muscles). After SMAS plastic surgery and a period of recovery, the person acquires a natural appearance, the dermis does not stretch, the shape of the eyes and the line of the mouth do not change.
The procedure is similar to a circular lift. The only difference is that the doctor, after making the incision, removes the subcutaneous fibromuscular layer, removes excess adipose tissue, and then forms the oval face and crests. At the same time, the skin does not stretch.
After 10-12 days, the bites can be removed. The final result will appear after two months, and the effect will last at least 12, or even 15 years.
S-rise. This procedure is suitable for those who have not seen serious age-related changes (muscle deformity), or for the second procedure. It is called a short-cicatricial lift or short flap.
There are techniques for raising SMAS. It affects the top layer of the skin and deep tissue structures. The face is raised, refreshed, has a natural look, and is not tight with a mask.
This method is the least traumatic. Small seams remain. They are located behind the ear and are not visible to strangers. The procedure is aimed at achieving a balanced contour of the lower jaw and correcting this part of the face.
Stages of the operation:
- In women, an incision is made behind the tragus of the ear, in men in front.
- In the required position, the surgeon fixes the soft tissues, then makes a shoe in the bones of the periosteal tissue.
- Skin flaps are bagged, SMAS is raised, internal valves are applied.
Benefits of S-raising:
- A neat little incision that is almost invisible after the bites have been removed.
- Because of the method chosen to exclude excess tissue, the risk of damage to the facial nerve is minimized.
- Short duration of operation, use of gentle anesthesia.
- Minimal risks of complications.
- Free.
- Rapid recovery period.
Disadvantages of S-raising:
- If deep surface wrinkles are present, it may not be effective.
- Painful sensations while chewing are likely due to the internal seams located on the cheeks.
Checking lift is a type of surgery that allows you to get rid of age-related changes in the middle third of the face (bags under the eyes, deep nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks). Cosmetologists recommend performing this manipulation in conjunction with blepharoplasty.
With this procedure, wrinkles and sagging skin can be eliminated. The swelling disappears from the face.
With this method, incisions are made on the skin of the eyelids. It is often chosen as a replacement for rhytidectomy. The recovery period lasts from two weeks. The effect lasts for 5-7 years.
Pros: duration of operation is 40-90 minutes, facial expressions and facial features are preserved, minimal pain syndrome during the recovery period.
Cons: rare, but complications can still be seen.
MAX lift is an S lift type. The main difference is that shortened incisions are made during the operation. Like S-lift, the method is based on excluding too much skin and lifting the deep structural layers of the face.
Advantages of the method:
- Minimum risk factor for high performance.
- Effective removal of sagging skin on the middle and lower parts of the face, smoothing the nasolabial folds, correcting the oval (angle) between the neck and chin.
- Short recovery period.
- The disturbed mode raises the eyes to the cheeks, which visually opens the eyes.
- Facial expressions are not disturbed, and the face looks natural.
Disadvantages include possible complications due to surgery: bruising, inflammation, hematomas, edema.
Injection techniques to tighten human muscles
An excellent alternative to surgery. As a result of this procedure, the effect is achieved as quickly as possible without sacrificing durability. There is no recovery period, there are no strict restrictions. The price is comparable to the cost of the hardware course.
3D filaments - the method is based on creating a subcutaneous framework from very thin filaments. The material from which the latter is made dissolves over time. With this method, deep wrinkles are removed, the skin is trimmed, the oval of the face is tightened. The whole procedure takes half an hour or an hour and is performed under local anesthesia. The result will last up to two years.
Contouring plastic involves injecting a special material under the skin - hyaluronic acid. It does not cause rejection and allergic reactions. The substance fills the places where deep wrinkles were formed, helping to shape the desired facial contour.
For injections, it is sufficient to use local anesthesia (spray or gel). The method practically does not cause pain. The effect lasts from 12 to 20 months.
Volumetric modeling (soft lift) is a method similar to contouring plastics that uses Swedish technology. The difference is that the injections of the drug are made deeper. In the process, the vacancies of the wrinkles are filled, you can restore the relief and even edit the shape of the chin, cheeks, and the correct asymmetry. The result is often compared to plastic surgery. The effect lasts for a year.
Biorevitalization - the same injections of hyaluronic acid, but low molecular weight. It gives a moisturizing and rejuvenating effect to the skin, gives a healthy look. It is widely used at the age of 25-35 years, when there are still no serious age-related changes, but the first signs of aging are already noticeable. The acid lasts about 12 months.
Bio-reinforcement. This method uses a gel-like consistency of hyaluronic acid. When injected under the skin, the substance is distributed and creates an extra frame, which forms the necessary oval for the face. This method is recommended for people aged 40-45. The result lasts for a year.
Plasmolifting, PRP method - the name derives from the technology of the procedure. When the client’s plasma is injected under the skin, which is enriched with platelets, rejuvenation occurs. In the cells of the epidermis, metabolic processes are accelerated, and oxygenation of the skin begins. Cells regenerate on their own. The skin gets a natural tone, wrinkles and folds are made up. This procedure has been offered since the age of 25 to prevent aging. After 35 years, it is most effective to perform these manipulations in combination with other courses, then the result will be as stable and significant as possible.
Mesotherapy is the introduction of meso cocktails under the skin. This is a biological composition specially selected for the patient (hyaluronic acid, vitamins, etc. ), which is formulated depending on the problem. It is performed in the course of 3-4 procedures to get a good result of muscle tightening. It is recommended to do this when the first signs of skin aging appear and in the presence of problems (age spots, acne, etc. ).
