“My years are my wealth,” says the famous song. Surely many women would gladly erase traces of this “wealth” from their faces. Let wisdom remain in the eyes and manifest itself in speech and actions. Outwardly, everyone would like to look 10–15 years younger.

It is impossible to turn back time, and there is no point in doing so. You can prolong your appearance of youth thanks to the achievements of modern cosmetology. The sooner girls start thinking about it, the longer the result will last. Among the variety of techniques, we will focus on those that are united by the term “non-surgical facelift”.

SKIN TIGHTENING: WHO AND WHEN?

A non-surgical facelift is one of the highest priorities for women over 35, and it becomes more important as they age. Age-related changes occur differently for everyone: for some, the skin becomes very dry and flabby, for others, the face becomes covered with a network of wrinkles, for others, the oval “floats” and “jowls” appear. It is customary to distinguish several morphotypes of aging: finely wrinkled, deformational, tired, muscular and mixed types. The doctor selects specific lifting procedures for each patient, focusing on the type of aging, skin condition and hormonal status, since the tissue reaction to the procedures is individual and depends on many factors.

Main causes of aging

Who or what is to blame for such changes?

Sun rays . Ultraviolet radiation destroys the skin's protective barrier, causing burns, pigmentation and wrinkles.
Negative environmental factors . These include: polluted air, dust, temperature changes, strong wind. They cause damage to cells, promote their oxidation, and make the skin's immunity weak.
Lack of skin care or improper care . It may be too little, too much, or simply wrong. Dehydration and aggressive cleansing - this, in turn, negatively affects the condition of the skin.
Poor nutrition . Both fasting and excess nutrition with large amounts of fats and carbohydrates have a negative effect on the skin. Herbs, fruits, vegetables, cereals and whole grain bread, and complete protein (meat, fish, poultry, eggs) will be of great benefit to her. Healthy food helps to prolong youth.
Too active or passive lifestyle . Heavy workload in the gym is just as harmful as a sedentary lifestyle. It is necessary to find a middle ground.
Lack of sleep. Healthy sleep is the key to fresh and beautiful skin. Constant lack of sleep causes dark circles under the eyes, dullness and dullness of the skin, they become thinner, and wrinkles form on them.
Bad habits . Alcohol and smoking are the first things that need to be eliminated from life for beautiful skin. If you smoke regularly, even eating right and exercising won't help you stay young.
Screens of tablets, laptops and smartphones . There is an opinion that the radiation from them is more dangerous than ultraviolet. It destroys collagen, promotes increased pigmentation and the appearance of wrinkles. There have not yet been large-scale studies on this matter. But one thing is certain - blue screens can cause sleep disturbances, and this, as we found out, is no longer good.

Ulteratherapy Ultherapy (ultrasonic SMAS lifting)

1. Ulteratherapy Ultherapy (ultrasonic SMAS lifting) is a procedure using focused ultrasound that not only affects the superficial layers of the skin, but also reaches the SMAS layer (superficial muscular aponeurotic system). It allows you to achieve the effect of pronounced tissue tightening and give density to the skin. The undeniable advantage of the technique is the absence of a rehabilitation period. Minor swelling and redness in the tone of the effect disappears quite quickly. Therefore, immediately after the procedure you can return to your usual lifestyle without restrictions . No specific care required. The result of alter therapy, performed on the original device in accordance with official protocols, is comparable to surgical SMAS lifting, is cumulative in nature and reaches a maximum after 3-4 months. Just one procedure is enough, the effect of which lasts up to one and a half years, after which the procedure can be repeated.

Thread lifting

2. Thread lifting still remains a relevant rejuvenating technique. No other procedure is capable of tightening the oval and highlighting the cheekbones as quickly and effectively as threads do. Lifting the face with APTOS or Lead Fine Lift threads slows down skin aging, smooths out wrinkles and forms clear facial contours. The rehabilitation period takes several days, so it is better to plan the procedure in advance. Excellent rejuvenation results last for 1-2 stitches (depending on the type of thread).

Space plastic

Space plastic is a new generation of surgical facelift. This procedure is for those who intend to solve the age problem radically: minus 10-15 years and almost forever. Space plastic allows you to restore sagging facial tissues, fixing them to the level at which they were in youth. That is, the surgeon will not “make” you a new face, but will return you to what you saw in the mirror before.

During a space plastic surgery, the doctor works point-by-point with the facial muscle systems, this allows you to avoid peeling off large volumes of skin, as was previously required. Tissues are injured significantly less, the rehabilitation period is reduced from several months to several days. Today, space plastic surgery is the most gentle of all cosmetic operations, with optimal results.

You can go back to work within a week after the operation. Imagine going on vacation and returning to your colleagues so rejuvenated that no resort can work such miracles. Your companion does not have to see you in an unsightly state with post-operative bruises. In a few days you will appear before him in all your glory.

Elos-rejuvenation

3. Elos-rejuvenation - a technology combining radio frequency radiation and infrared light, provides a deep lifting effect, does not damage the epidermis and does not leave burns, recovery takes no more than 1-2 days, and the result is noticeable immediately. The course requires about 3-6 sessions with an interval of 1 month. 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after elos rejuvenation, you should limit sun exposure and use SPF filters. There are also devices aimed simultaneously not only at lifting, but also at leveling the relief and improving the quality of the skin. These are Infini radio frequency needle lifting and Dermablate MCL-31 erbium laser.

3D lifting using the Infini device

4. 3D lifting using the Infini device, a highly effective technology for volumetric radiofrequency rejuvenation. Gold microneedles affect the deep and superficial layers of the skin using radio frequency radiation, which is applied to the end of each needle, due to which wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin texture is evened out and the oval of the face is modeled. For maximum lasting effect, 2-3 procedures are enough.

What can be adjusted?

Basically, Russians are characterized by the so-called deformation type of aging: under the influence of gravity, soft tissues seem to “slide” down. First of all, this concerns the middle part of the face - cheeks, cheekbones. Lifting the cheek, cheekbone, and chin areas helps correct the defect. In some cases, a circular lift is required - work is carried out along the entire oval of the face.

First of all, this type of cosmetology service is intended specifically for working with contours - by restoring the youthful oval of the face, we get a pronounced rejuvenation effect. In addition, the lift solves the problem of deep wrinkles, creases, subcutaneous hernias - all these shortcomings are eliminated.

Laser resurfacing using the DERMABLATE MCL-31 device

5. Dermablate erbium laser rejuvenation is a technique that is suitable even for those with the thinnest and most sensitive skin. The laser works on the superficial and deep layers of the skin and allows you to adjust the exact pulse length. The result is smooth skin without relief defects and pigmentation; due to skin compaction, a lifting effect is ensured. Rehabilitation will take several days, during which mild swelling, redness and peeling may occur. As an auxiliary care, gentle cleansing and application of special products are recommended.

Innovative methods of non-surgical facelift make it possible to slow down external biological aging and eliminate aesthetically unattractive skin defects without traumatic surgical intervention. Modern lifting procedures are an ideal choice for those who want to quickly and safely improve the quality and appearance of their skin without complications and a long recovery period.
