"At 50, you have the face you deserve, " said Coco Chanel.
What do you deserve
We will tell you how to perform anti-aging procedures correctly and safely, so that at age 50 you can say that you deserve to admire your reflection and catch admiring glances.
It's best to lay the foundation for natural rejuvenation when you're young, and after 30 years of training it's already a mandatory part of self-care.
What are anti-aging (rejuvenating) treatments?
All women have about the same chance of getting one of two things by age 50: a "peach" face or a "baked apple" face. Preserved youth or decrepitude.
Yes, there are insurmountable factors that can throw you extra years, like genetics and hormonal disruptions. 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 of this youth orchestra is played through rejuvenating procedures.
Humanity has tried for thousands of years to invent the "elixir of youth. "What was not used: hallucinogenic drinks, eating dried snakes and toads, young girls breathing, moxibustion. . .
With the development of science, we have received a justification of what helps and what prevents prolonging youth.
Harmful:food waste, stress, UV light, alcohol, cigarettes. . .
Healthy:movement, positive emotions, regular and quality intimate life, vitamins, unsaturated fats. . .
And, of course, anti-aging treatments. There are a lot of them and a lot of money is being made from them. Hundreds of billions of dollars (! ) Every year all kinds of "youth injections" are earned, hardware techniques, threads, cosmetic surgeries.
Yes, now these are not fly agarics with vipers, but "pharmacological discoveries", "technical inventions", "innovations"; All in all, all kinds of fruits of progress with catchy names. Botulinum therapy, mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasma lifting, contour plasty, RF lifting, SMAS lifting, photorejuvenation, cryolipolysis, dermabrasion, blepharoplasty, thread lifting, fractional laser rejuvenation. . . The list goes on and on.
But sadly, the true effect of modern anti-aging techniques on the body is still very little known. In most cases, there is no complete scientific investigation that reflects the consequences of a cosmetic intervention even for several years ahead, not to mention the long term.
Such studies are partly impossible due to the relative novelty of cosmetology in principle, but more importantly, they are also not profitable. If science were to record all the consequences of "punitive" cosmetology, it could seriously undermine the industry.
After all, most salon procedures are fiction, a short-term appearance of youth, behind which hides decrepitude of tissues.
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 aimed mainly at women over 30 years of age. It is generally accepted that it is at this age when the skin goes from young to mature.
Although facial aging is not just a story about the skin. Also important is: muscle tone, posture, neck statics, mobility of the tendon helmet, blood circulation, lymphatic drainage. In order for all this structure to work smoothly, you need to instill the right habits from childhood.
And it is optimal to start anti-aging procedures already at the age of 20-25 years. After all, it is at this age that the mechanisms of aging are triggered. They may not yet be visible on the face, but the processes are already taking place, the blood flow is already beginning to deteriorate. And the sooner you start turning negative processes in the opposite direction, the longer you stay young.
When do anti-aging treatments become mandatory (if, of course, you strive for beauty)? Then when you notice the following signs on your face:
- loss of skin elasticity, decreased turgor,
- floating contour of the face, "squaring" the oval,
- sliding down the cheeks and flew away,
- wrinkles, folds, folds: from crow's feet to nasolabials,
- the drooping corners of the lips and the wrinkles of pain descending from them,
- bags under the eyes and puffiness
- drooping corners of the eyes and protruding upper eyelids,
- dull complexion, age spots,
- thinning of the skin, increased sensitivity.
There are also defects in the neck and décolleté area: sagging skin, "rings of Venus", "turkey goiter" (droplets of tissue under the chin).
Cosmetology procedures for facial rejuvenation.
Does the mirror remind you every time that you are no longer a girl? And I want to look fresher, tighten and smooth everything, lift the corners of the lips, eyelids, eyebrows. Tear off the mask of a sad and exhausted woman for her life.
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 damaging beauty, youth and health.
So, let's find out how the vast majority of cosmetology techniques work.
The truth may surprise you, but cosmetology is:
- Imaginary youth.99% of the procedures provide a short-term rejuvenation effect (if any). At the same time, the causes of aging are not eliminated, but are aggravated. When the effect subsides a few months after the cosmetic intervention, the face will look older than before the procedure.
- Deterioration of the state of the tissues.The vast majority of invasive and hardware cosmetic procedures are aggressive invasion from the outside and a violation of the body's self-regulation. Stress. This effect goes against physiology. The body is forced to defend itself, to expend resources. This launches a series of negative processes. Everything on which the youth of the face rests suffers: skin, muscles, blood supply, lymphatic drainage.
- Health risks.Most cosmetic procedures (injections, threads, surgeries, microneedles, dermabrasion) violate the integrity of the body. Some (laser, radio waves, light, thermography) create internal burns. Therefore, complications often arise after procedures. The severity ranges from infection and inflammation to tissue necrosis (death), nerve paralysis, speech dysfunctions, blindness, etc.
- A blow to beauty.The result of cosmetic procedures, as a rule, has little to do with beauty. Puffy wax faces with uneven proportions and distorted features - we see these victims of "punitive" cosmetology around every corner. From the fillings, the lips turn into shapeless "dumplings" and become like a duck's beak. From Botox, the face loses the ability to express emotions, it becomes immobile, asymmetries often develop (an eyebrow falls over the eyes, the lips go down in a corner). The "armor" made of threads can bulge, shine, migrate, clump together. These are just some examples. There are many cosmetic side effects.
- Addiction.You sit on the beautician's needle and scalpel. After all, when the effect of the procedure wears off (and this happens very quickly), then the face becomes emaciated and wrinkled, "flowing down". And you're running for a brace again. From time to time, the effect weakens. As a result, the face becomes an ugly mask with inhuman features.
- High priceA cosmetic procedure is very expensive. Most of the techniques involve exposure to courses. Sometimes it is required to go through up to 10-15 sessions per course, and after six months, repeat everything again. Also, cosmetologists often promote complex rejuvenation, that is, using different techniques. As a result, the "investment" in illusory youth is colossal. Be prepared to pay huge amounts of money for life.
Types of modern anti-aging facials
There are three main ways to treat aging skin in salons: puncture, cut, or machine.
The first two options are accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the body, that is, they are invasive techniques. Hardware techniques most often affect the inner layers of tissues without damaging the epidermis.
Each of these areas is represented by a variety of specific techniques. The main ones are:
- Injection techniques:botulinum therapy (botox), contour plastics (fillers), mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasmolifting.
- Surgical techniques:Thread lifting, rhytidectomy, blepharoplasty.
- Hardware techniques: laser, radio waves, ultrasound, light, cold.
And none of these methods is friendly to our body. It is always an aggressive invasion from the outside, causing damage, stress.
Is there a principle of influence somewhere that takes into account the interests of our physiology? No.
Judge for yourself the options that are offered.
- It paralyzes some muscles and increases the load on others.- Botox injections.
- Tighten the skin with fillers, which will also interfere with normal blood flow and tissue drainage.- fillings.
- Everywhere to injure the skin with needles, turning it into a continuous healed wound:mesotherapy and biorevitalization (cosmetic preparations are injected into the face with the help of hundreds of injections), plasma lift (hundreds of injections of the patient's own plasma), microneedles (the face is "rolled" in the blood with a roller of needle or "Sealed" with a needle seal).
- Cut off excess skin and fat- rhytidectomy (surgical face lift), blepharoplasty (eyelid correction).
- "Sewing" the face with absorbable or permanent threads, causing the degeneration of healthy collagen into fibrotic- thread lifting.
- Peel off layers of skin like emery- dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, chemical peeling.
- "Burns" the inner layers of the skin- laser, ultrasound, radio waves, light.
- Destroy tissues by freezing- cryolipolysis.
Where is the youth here? Nowhere. Only the aggravation of decrepitude.
How to be?
Anti-aging treatments at home
Let's define what we need:
- Security.No risks to health and beauty.
- A pronounced and long-lasting result, not a short-term rejuvenating look.This requires eliminating the causes of aging, initiating natural rejuvenation mechanisms, and not masking 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 our face for 10 to 15 years and maintain this result for years.
This, of course, is not a beautician's "magic" syringe. Don't expect instant "miracles". Here you need regularity and consistency. You should do it every day, for 15-30 minutes a day.
But after a couple of weeks you will notice the results, and after a month they will be obvious to those around you.
To look good, make natural rejuvenation techniques your healthy daily habit for life.
Plus also the fact that you take care of yourself. This means that you:
- you begin to understand your body better,
- you don't pay large sums for the fact that you end up getting old,
- You can exercise at any convenient time and not adapt to anyone.
What are you going to achieve?
- Restore blood and lymphatic flow. It will relieve spasms that interfere with the movement of blood and lymph.
- Improve the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to cells; activates the "pumping" of all the unnecessary and harmful about them.
- You will restore the healthy tone and natural length of the muscles of the face and neck. This is necessary so that the skin is better absorbed with blood and does not pull on the shortened and constricted muscles.
- It will improve collagen synthesis in the dermis, "loosen" old attached fibers and renew the skin.
Also, exercises should be performed not only on the face.
What is the best way to get around?
- Start by correcting your posture.Often the root of all age-related problems is with the face. Work with the back, shoulders, neck, aponeurosis of the head; remove all clamps and laces that interfere with total blood flow, skin nutrition, and the work of the facial muscles. Try a couple of basic techniques: We lie down on the roller.Stretch and relax your neck with the "Frame"
- Move on to the precise study of age-related defects on the face.Skin laxity, forehead wrinkles, folds between the eyebrows, nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the mouth, crow's feet, bags under the eyes, droopy eyelids, drooping corners of the lips, puffiness, floating contour, ruffles, double chin - all this can be corrected. We do exercises and self-massage. We work with our hands, vacuum cans, a dry brush, a gouache scraper. Try some of the exercises in the "gold collection":We open our eyes, remove the protruding eyelids.Exercise "Liposhlep" against bag wrinkles and to restore the volume of the lips.Intraoral massage for nasolabial folds.Facial massage with suction cups
Contraindications
It is natural that cosmetic procedures, which in principle go against physiology, have quite a few contraindications.
Natural rejuvenation techniques are an entirely different matter. They can be used by almost everyone.
Of course, you must use common sense. For example, if you have large protruding moles or a skin infection, you should refrain from self-massage (locally or until healed). At the same time, this does not interfere with gymnastics.
Important! Even pregnant and lactating women can run beauty marathons. You just have to skip a few individual exercises; will be marked.
You can 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 inconvenient. For example, they generally need to be prepared in advance.
- For half a month or a month, do not take active sunbathing.
- Avoid eating salty and spicy foods for several days.
- Drink less fluids.
- Do not drink alcoholic beverages, do not smoke.
- Comply with the prohibitions of certain medications.
- Avoid strenuous physical activity.
As we can see, some prohibitions (on drinking, sports, medicines) go against the body. But even if the limitations are helpful, they are still additional difficulties.
And in the case of natural rejuvenation, no preparation is required. The maximum application of effort is to clean the skin immediately before self-massage (in the case of working with cans, it will still be necessary to apply oil or squalane). And that's it. No restrictions and a break from the usual way of life.
Rehabilitation after the procedure.
How you will feel after a rejuvenating treatment is also important.
After surgical, injection, and hardware techniques, the rehabilitation period is often painful. Bruises, bruises, scars, swelling, irritation, wounds, bruises, etc. are common.
And the restrictions can be very uncomfortable for life. Taboos can be imposed on the sun, sports, makeup, baths, saunas, diet. . . Often you can't just touch your face or take a horizontal position.
What about natural rejuvenation? There is simply no rehabilitation period here. The most "terrible" thing that can arise is that you will feel a pleasant tingling from the rush of blood in the worked area and a slight pain in the body. Even out of habit, bruises may appear after the cans (they will pass later).
These are all signs that the correct processes are starting in the body.
Effective procedures after 30-35 years.
After 30 years, the verdict is passed to the skin: "Mature. "At that time, the metabolism in the cells and the production of "builder" proteins slow down. The barrier function is weakened. Moisture, turgor, elasticity are decreasing.
For cosmetologists, this is a reason to "recruit" new "victims" into the ranks of their clientele. They impose on 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 slightest first wrinkle, they campaign for botulinum therapy. Apparently, it will be possible to avoid the appearance of deep wrinkles in the future. But we already know that due to muscle paralysis and the breakdown of the entire muscle configuration, everything will be exactly the opposite: the defects will come out early.
None of this can be done.
What can you do? Massages, exercises, gymnastics. Also, natural rejuvenation techniques do not specialize by age. They are suitable for everyone: from female students to deeply retired women.
As we already said, they should become a mandatory program for women over 30 who take care of themselves.
Effective treatments after 40 years.
After 40 years, the signs of aging are already becoming more pronounced. Wrinkles, nasolabials, loss of volume, sagging skin, blurred contour, ruffles, sunken appearance. . . The skin needs a lift.
In the language of cosmetologists, this means regular injections of Botox, contour plastics (fillers), more frequent mesotherapy sessions, plasma lifting, lasers, microcurrents, etc. It is considered appropriate to install threads under the skin.
Many different procedures are prescribed for you ("an integrated approach"). You need to visit the esthetician more often.
There is only one safe and effective alternative for women over 40: natural rejuvenation. We do the same exercises as at any other age.
If you started practicing at the age of 30, now you don't look any worse than 10 years ago and, most likely, better. Do not stop.
Effective treatments after 50 years.
At menopause (50 +/- 5 years) and after, the main blow is struck by youth. In addition to poor blood circulation, the extinction of hormonal activity is also added.
Due to the hormonal decline, the renewal of fibroblasts, cells in which the main components of young skin are produced, stops. The network of blood vessels is also receding. In general, the production of the "beauty hormone" estrogen collapses and with it beauty itself evaporates.
Here, the intensity and frequency of cosmetic procedures will go off the scale. Surgical techniques will be added to the numerous non-surgical techniques, and on the basis of priority rights. Fabrics will be cut and stretched, cut and stretched. In the most "humane" case - reinforce.
The reflection in the mirror at this age, if you have been addicted to the needle for a long time, you will no longer like it. And it will be difficult to abandon "punitive" cosmetology: it is not clear what to do then with all this decrepitude that it has created.
The recipe for women over 50 is the same: natural rejuvenation. It's too late? No, it is not too late. And the 70s is not too late.
And the most important thing isyoung and beautiful 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 the health of the body, initiate natural rejuvenation processes, eliminate edema, and relieve muscle spasticity.
