"At 50, you have the face you deserve, " Coco Chanel said.
What do you deserve?
We’ll tell you how to perform anti-aging procedures properly and safely, so you can say at 50 that you appreciate your reflection and catch a close eye.
It is best to lay the foundation for natural renewal when you are young, and after 30 years of training it is already a mandatory part of self-care.
What are anti-aging treatments (rejuvenation)
Every woman under the age of 50 has the same chance of getting one of two things: a "peach" face or a "baked apple" face. Preserved or reduced youth.
Yes, there are insurmountable factors that can take you years, such as genetics and hormonal disturbances. 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 in this youth orchestra is played through refresher procedures.
Humanity has been trying for thousands of years to "invent the elixir of youth. " Something that has not been used: hallucinogenic drinks, eating dried snakes and toads, young girls' breathing, moxibustion. . .
With the development of science, we have found justification for what helps and prevents youth extension.
Harmful: food waste, stress, ultraviolet light, alcohol, cigarettes. . .
Healthy:movement, positive emotions, regular and high quality personal life, vitamins, unsaturated fats. . .
And, of course, anti-aging treatments. There are a large number of them, and they are making a lot of money. Hundreds of billions of dollars (! ) Are earned every year on all kinds of "youth injections", hardware techniques, threads, aesthetic surgeries.
Yes, now these are not flying agarics with vipers, but "pharmacological results", "technical inventions", "innovations" - in general, fruits of all kinds of progress with curly names. Botulinum therapy, mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasma elevation, placenta contour, RF-lift, SMAS-lift, photorejuvenation, cryolipolysis, dermabrasion, blepharoplasty, thread count, fractional laser rewvenation. . . The list goes on and on.
But, alas, the true effect of modern anti-aging techniques on the body remains to be truly understood. In most cases, there is no comprehensive scientific research that would reveal the consequences of cosmetic interventions even for the next few years, let alone the long term.
Such studies are impossible in part because of the relative originality of cosmetology in principle, but more importantly, they are also unprofitable. If science records all the effects of "punitive" cosmetology, it could undermine the industry.
After all, most salon procedures are fiction, a short - lived look of youth, with a reduction of hidden tissues behind it.
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 aimed at women 30+. It is generally accepted that at this age the skin turns from young to mature.
Although facial aging is not just a story about skin. Also important: muscle tone, posture, static neck, tendon helmet mobility, blood circulation, lymphatic drainage. For this whole structure to work smoothly, you need to cultivate the right habits from childhood.
And it is best to start anti-aging procedures already at the age of 20-25. After all, it is at this age that the mechanisms of aging are stimulated. They may not be visible to humans yet, but the processes are already underway, blood flow is already beginning to deteriorate. And the sooner you start turning negative processes in the opposite direction, the longer you will stay young.
When are anti-aging treatments mandatory (if you try beauty, of course)? Then, when you look at the following signs on your face:
- loss of skin elasticity, reduced turgor,
- human floating contour, "squaring" the oval,
- sliding down cheeks and flying,
- wrinkles, folds, creases: from feet to nasolabials,
- drooping corners of the lips and wrinkles of grief descending from them,
- bags under the eyes and swelling,
- drooping corners of the eyes and overhanging upper eyelids,
- dull dull, age spots,
- thinning of the skin, increased sensitivity.
Defects in the neck and décolleté area are also present here: skin flabbiness, "Venus rings", "turkey goiter" (tissue droplets under the chin).
Cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation
Does the mirror remind you every time you are no longer a girl? And I want to look fresher, make everything tighter and smoother, raise the corners of the lips, eyelids, eyelashes. The mask of a woman who is sad and worn out by her life is ripped off.
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 compromising beauty, youth and health.
Therefore, let's find out how the vast majority of cosmetology techniques work.
You may be surprised by the truth, but cosmetology is:
- Imaginary childhood.99% of procedures provide a short-term rejuvenation effect (if any). At the same time, the causes of aging are not eliminated, but exacerbated. When the effect subsides a few months after the cosmetic intervention, the face will look older than before the procedure.
- Deterioration of tissue condition.The vast majority of invasive cosmetic procedures and hardware are aggressive external invasions and violations of bodily self-control. Stress. This effect goes against the physiology. The body is forced to defend itself, to expend resources. This launches a series of negative processes. Everyone who suffers from human childhood suffers: skin, muscles, blood flow, lymphatic drainage.
- Health risks.Most cosmetic procedures (injections, threads, surgeries, microneedling, dermabrasion) violate the integrity of the body shell. Some of them (lasers, radio waves, light, thermal) create an internal burn. Therefore, complications often arise after the procedures. The severity varies from infection and inflammation to tissue necrosis (death), nervous paralysis, speech dysfunctions, blindness, etc.
- Beat for beauty.The result of cosmetic procedures, as a rule, has little to do with beauty. Wax faces with irregular proportions and distortion features - we see these victims of "punitive" cosmetology at every corner. From fillers, lips turn into shapeless "dumplings" and turn out like a duck's beak. From Botox, the person loses the ability to express emotions, becomes immobile, often develops asymmetries (one eye drops over the eyes, the lips go down in one corner). An "armmature" made of bulge threads, can enjoy, migrate, gather in lumps. Here are just a few examples. There are many aesthetic side effects.
- Addiction.You sit down on the beauty needle and scalpel. After all, when the effect of the procedure wears off (and this happens quickly), then the face becomes gloomy and wrinkled, "it flows down". And you are running for a brace again. From time to time the effect becomes weaker. As a result, the face turns into an ugly mask with inhuman features.
- High costOne cosmetic procedure is very expensive. Most techniques involve exposure. Sometimes it is required to go through up to 10-15 sessions per course, and after six months, repeat everything again. Moreover, cosmetologists often promote complex rejuvenation, that is, by using various techniques. As a result, the "investment" in illusory youth is colossal. Be prepared to pay large sums of money for life.
Types of modern anti-aging facial treatments
There are three main ways to treat aging skin in salons: prick, cut or machine.
The first two options are accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the body shell, that is, these are invasive techniques. Hardware techniques often affect the inner layers of the tissues without damaging the epidermis.
Each of these areas is illustrated by different techniques. The main ones are:
- Injection techniques:botulinum therapy (botox), contour plastics (fillers), mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasmolifting.
- Surgical techniques:thread lift, rhytidectomy, blepharoplasty.
- Hardware Techniques:laser, radio waves, ultrasound, light, cold.
And none of these methods are friendly to our body. It is always an aggressive invasion from the outside, causing damage, stress.
Is there a principle of influence somewhere that would take into account the interests of our physiology? No.
Judge for yourself what options are offered.
- Paralyze some muscles and increase the load on others- Botox injections.
- Stretch the skin with fillers, which will interfere with normal blood flow and tissue drainage- fillers.
- Healing all places to injure the skin with needles, turning it into one continuous wound:mesotherapy and biorevitalization (cosmetic preparations are injected into the face with the help of hundreds of injections), plasma elevation (hundreds of injections of the patient's own plasma), microwave (the face is "rolled" to the blood with a needle rolleror "Sealed" with a needle stamp).
- Cut out excess skin and fat- rhytidectomy (surgical facelift), blepharoplasty (eyelid correction).
- "Sew" the face with absorbent or permanent strands, stimulating the fibrotic degradation of healthy collagen- thread raising.
- Filter layers of skin like emery- dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, chemical peeling.
- "Burning out" the inner layers of the skin- laser, ultrasound, radio waves, light.
- Destroy tissue by freezing- cryolipolysis.
Where is the youth here? Nowhere. Only the aggravation of the reduction.
How to be?
Anti-aging treatments at home
Let's define what we need:
- Security.No health and beauty risks.
- Lasting pronunciation result, not a refreshing short-term look.This requires eliminating the causes of aging, initiating the natural mechanisms of renewal, and not hiding the problem.
This can only be given to us through natural rejuvenation techniques. Exercise, gymnastics and self-massage - this is what will help us lose 10-15 years from our face and maintain this result for years.
This is not a "magic" syringe of the beautician, of course. Don't expect instant "miracles". Regularity and consistency are needed here. You need to do it every day, for 15-30 minutes a day.
But after a few weeks you will notice the results, and after a month they will become clear to those around you.
To look good, take natural rejuvenation techniques as your healthy daily habit for life.
Plus you take care of yourself. This means:
- you begin to understand your body better,
- you do not pay huge sums for the fact that you get older,
- you can do exercises at any time that is convenient and not tailored for anyone.
What will you achieve?
- Restore blood and lymph flow. You will alleviate the spasms that interfere with blood and lymph movement.
- Improve the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the cells; you act to "pump out" everything unnecessary and harmful from them.
- You will restore a healthy tone and natural length to the muscles of the face and neck. This is necessary so that the skin is absorbed with better blood and does not draw on the shortened, restricted muscles.
- You will improve collagen synthesis in the dermis, release "old fibers", and rejuvenate the skin.
Moreover, exercises should be performed not only on the face.
What is the best way to move?
- Start by correcting your posture. All age-related problems often take root in a person. Work with the back, shoulders, neck, aponeurosis of the head - remove all clamps and cords that interfere with total blood flow, skin nutrition, and facial muscle work. Try a few basic techniques:We lie on the roller.Stretch and relax the neck using the "Frame"
- Move on to the pinpoint study of age-related defects in humans.Laxity of the skin, wrinkles on the forehead, creases between the eyebrows, nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the mouth, crow's feet, bags under the eyes, drooping eyelids, drooping corners of the lips, swelling, floating contour, flews, double chin - possiblecorrect all this. We do exercises and self-massage. We work with our hands, vacuum cans, dry brush, gouache scraper. Try some of the "golden collection" exercises:We open our eyes, remove the overgrown eyelids.Exercise "Liposhlep" against wire-purse wrinkles and to restore lip volume.Intraoral massage for nasolabial folds.Facial massage with vacuum cups
Contraindications
It is natural that cosmetic procedures have some contraindications, which go against the physiology in principle.
Natural rejuvenation techniques are a completely different matter. Almost everyone can use them.
Of course, you have to use common sense. For example, if you have large protruding turf or skin infection, then you must refrain from self-massage (locally or until cured). At the same time, this does not interfere with gymnastics.
Important! Even pregnant and breastfeeding women can run a beauty marathon. All you have to do is skip a few individual exercises - they will be flagged.
You may ask the osteopathic doctor accompanying the course about the compatibility of your diagnosis and the marathon exercises.
How to properly prepare for anti-aging treatments
Among other things, salon procedures are difficult. For example, they usually need to be prepared in advance.
- For half a month or a month, do not actively sunbathe.
- Avoid eating salty and spicy foods for several days.
- Drink less fluids.
- Do not drink alcoholic beverages, or smoke.
- Adhere to prohibitions on certain medicines.
- Avoid strenuous physical activity.
As we see, some bans (on drinking, sports, medication) go against the body. But even if the restrictions are useful, they are still additional difficulties.
And for natural rejuvenation, no preparation is required. The maximum effort is to clean the skin just before self-massage (in the case of working with cans, you will still need to apply oil or square). And that's it. No restrictions and breakdown of normal way of life.
Rehabilitation after the procedure
How you feel after rejuvenation treatment is also important.
After surgical techniques, injections, hardware, the recovery period is often painful. There are bruises, bruises, scars, swelling, irritation, wound, bruising, etc.
And restraints can be very uncomfortable for life. Taboos can be imposed on the sun, sports, make-up, baths, saunas, diet. . . Often you cannot touch your face or take a horizontal position.
What about natural renewal? There is no recovery period here. The most "horrible" thing that can happen is that you feel a tingling sensation from the blood buckwheat in the worked out area and a slight pain in the body. Even out of the ordinary, the cans may show a brush (then they will pass).
All of these are signs that the right processes are beginning in the body.
Effective procedures after 30-35 years
After 30 years, the verdict is passed on to the skin: "Mature". By this time, metabolism in cells and "building" protein production is slowed down. The function of the barrier is impaired. Moisture, turgor, elasticity are decreasing.
For cosmetologists, this is a reason to recruit new "victims" in the ranks of their customers. They give young and flourishing women the idea that it is already necessary to do chemical peels, undergo mesotherapy or biorevitalization once every six months, use hardware techniques, etc.
At the first few wrinkles, they campaign for botulinum therapy. Allegedly, the appearance of deep wrinkles will be avoided in the future. But we already know that everything will be just the opposite due to muscle paralysis and a breakdown of the overall configuration of the muscles: defects will come out prematurely.
None of this can be done.
What can you do? Massages, exercises, gymnastics. Moreover, natural rejuvenation techniques do not specialize by age. They are suitable for everyone: from female students to deeply retired women.
As we have already said, they should be a mandatory program for women 30+ who look after themselves.
Effective treatments after 40 years
After 40 years, the signs of aging are already manifesting. Wrinkles, nasolabials, loss of volume, flabbiness of the skin, contour blurring, flews, sunken appearance. . . The skin needs to be lifted.
In the language of cosmetologists, this means regular Botox injections, contouring plastics (fillers), more frequent mesotherapy sessions, plasma elevation, lasers, micronutrients, etc. It is already considered appropriate to install threads under the skin.
You are prescribed many different procedures ("integrated approach"). You have to visit the thriller more often.
There is only one safe and effective option for women over the age of 40 - natural rejuvenation. We do the same exercises as at any other age.
If you started exercising at the age of 30, now you look no worse than 10 years ago, and probably better. Don't stop.
Effective treatments after 50 years
At menopause (50 +/- 5 years) and beyond, the main beat for the youth is beaten. In addition to poor blood circulation, hormonal activity is also eliminated.
Hormonal deterioration stops the regeneration of fibroblasts - cells that produce the main components of youthful skin. The blood vessel network is also returning. In general, the production of the estrogen "beauty hormone" drops, and is accompanied by the evaporation of beauty itself.
Here, the intensity and frequency of cosmetic procedures will go out of scale. Surgical techniques will be added to the numerous non-surgical techniques, and on the basis of priority rights. The fabrics will cut and stretch, cut and stretch. In the most "humane" case - reinforcement.
The reflection in the mirror under this age, if you have been addicted to the needle for a long time, will not please anymore. And it will be difficult to abandon "punitive" cosmetology: it's not clear what to do then with all this reduction it has created.
The recipe for women 50+ is the same: natural rejuvenation. Is it too late? No, it's not too late. And 70 is not too late.
And the most important thing isbeautiful young face, healthy back and royal posturewith the simplest exercises and effective self-massage techniques, you can achieve it in just 21 days. The marathon is a unique set of simple and effective exercises and techniques designed to improve body health, launch natural rejuvenation processes, remove edema and alleviate muscle spasticity.
