From the age of 50 in women, the production of estrogens is drastically reduced, which affects the condition of the skin. Facial rejuvenation after 50 years without surgery is possible with the help of cosmetology methods and competent home care.
Skin care after 50 at home
Plastic surgery works wonders, but not all women can afford the operation. But competent skin care at home is available to everyone. The main thing is that it be regular and complete.
Daily care plan:
- cleaning;
- Turn;
- Hydration, nutrition;
- UV protection.
2 times a week it is worth doing nourishing masks, as well as connecting self-massage and superficial peeling for the face.
Cosmetic products
The set of skin care cosmetics for women over 50 is the same as in previous years. But the composition of the funds should be different.
Need:
- Get rid of products that dry the skin: alkaline foams for washing, lotions that contain alcohol;
- Buy protective cosmetics to protect your skin from the negative effects of the sun, wind and frost;
- Replaces the usual creams and toners with anti-aging.
To cleanse and tone you need:
- micellar water to remove make-up;
- Cleansing milk or cream with the correct pH;
- non-alcoholic toner;
- Facial gommage (use once every 7-14 days depending on skin type).
It is useful to wipe your face with ice cubes - it tones and refreshes the skin. It is advisable to use decoctions of chamomile, succession, linden to make ice.
For hydration and nutrition use day and night creams. Separately, you need to buy a cream for the periorbital region, but for the neck you can use the same products as for the face. It is not necessary to buy an expensive cream, pharmacy brands are also suitable.
Good anti-aging creams contain:
- AHA and BHA acids;
- Vitamins (tocopherol, retinol);
- coenzymes;
- peptides;
- Hyaluronic acid;
- collagen.
It is better to buy ready-made masks, rather than make them yourself. After 50 years, nourishing and moisturizing masks are useful.
self massage
Massage will help you stay young. Ideally, it should be done by an experienced beautician, but self-massage is not excluded.
An effective technique is plastic massage. Provides various types of impact: kneading, stroking, vibration. The procedure begins with superficial effects, then moves on to deep kneading.
Basic facial massage techniques:
- stroking. Light stroking movements are made in the direction of the lines of least stretch (massage lines);
- The kneading is superficial. It is done with four fingers (except the thumb), a movement is made that resembles drawing a spiral with small turns;
- Deep kneading. It is done with five fingers and one palm, the pressure must be more intense;
- touchingIs done with the fingertips along all massage lines;
- Vibration. It is carried out with the bottom of the palm, the movement is directed from the middle of the sternum along the clavicle to the ear and further to the temple.
Before the massage session, the face is cleaned of cosmetics and powdered with talcum powder. Instead of talc, some cosmetologists use cosmetic oil.
Another technique is a complex massage with spoons. For the procedure, you need to prepare two containers filled with hot and cold water, a few spoons, cosmetic oil.
The impact is made by the convex part of the spoon. Stroking, rubbing, and light patting techniques are used. It is recommended to use silver spoons, but you can take regular ones. Before the session, warm oil is applied to the skin. The effect is performed alternately with a hot and cold spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
Gym
A controversial way to rejuvenate the face without injections and operations is gymnastics for the muscles of the face. Learning to do exercises at home is not difficult, the main thing is that the classes are regular.
There are different sets of exercises on the Internet, but the opinion of our doctors is the same: gymnastics provokes the appearance of facial wrinkles! Therefore, we do not recommend doing gymnastics, choose massage.
Salon treatments for facial rejuvenation without surgery
Salons offer various ways of rejuvenation after 55 without surgery. These are traditional methods (peeling, massage, masks, skin care procedures), injection procedures (introduction of fillers, mesotherapy, biorevitalization) and hardware methods of influencing the skin.
thread lifting
The essence of the face and neck rejuvenation technique without surgery is to make punctures in the skin and the introduction of synthetic threads that create a reinforcing frame. The effect of the field procedure lasts from 2 to 4 years.
Thread lifting is recommended for ptosis of facial tissues, sagging cheeks, double chin formation, changes in the contour of the face, the appearance of deep wrinkles.
For the manufacture of threads, polymeric materials, silicone, various acids, platinum, gold are used. The diameter of the threads does not exceed the thickness of a human hair. After the introduction of the thread is not felt and is not visible to others.
Photorejuvenation
The essence of this procedure is the exposure of the skin to pulsed light. Radiation is a quantum flux that is delivered in bursts. Various wavelengths are used. The maximum effect of the procedure does not appear immediately, but after the completion of the course. Thanks to the photorejuvenation procedure, the collagen framework and the structure of the skin are strengthened, the face is tightened and fine wrinkles are smoothed.
Benefits of light energy:
- Improves complexion;

- The synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin is launched;
- The pores shrink;
- The relief of the skin improves;
- Pigmented spots lighten.
The technique is not suitable for getting rid of all age-related changes. To eliminate deep wrinkles and improve the oval of the face, the cosmetologist combines hardware and injection techniques.
laser resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is a procedure that can stop aging and help remove acne scars or other skin blemishes. The bottom line is the impact on the epidermis with a laser. The upper layer of cells evaporates, which stimulates regeneration processes.
Grinding is one of the varieties of hardware peeling. Only a doctor with a higher medical education who has a certificate can perform the procedure.
The rehabilitation process takes up to 4 weeks. But a pronounced result covers a long recovery after the procedure.
thermalage
Thermage is a hardware procedure based on exposure to radio frequency waves or RF radiation. It is carried out by means of a device that emits radio wave energy.
The flow of energy destroys the old structures of the skin. As a result, new collagen and elastin fibers are formed, providing a tightening effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenation of the skin of the face, neck, décolletage, as well as other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
mesotherapy
Injection procedure, the essence of which is the intradermal introduction of special "cocktails". The preparations include hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, peptides, growth factors, etc.
With the introduction of mesococtels, the following changes occur:
- Pigment spots disappear;
- Improves complexion;
- dryness is eliminated, wrinkles are smoothed;
- The microrelief is leveled.
Medications are administered with very fine needles. A lot of microtraumas are created, which further stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and improves blood microcirculation.
injections
When planning rejuvenation without surgery, many women choose injection procedures. In cosmetology, different drugs are used:
- Hyaluronic acid;
- mesococktails;
- botulinum toxins;
- Plastic outline with fills;

Selected drugs are administered by injection. Injection needles or cannulas are used.
ozone therapy
Rejuvenation of the face and neck is carried out by the introduction of special cocktails of oxygen and ozone. After the procedure, the face acquires a fresh look, small wrinkles and acne marks disappear. The technique stimulates collagen production.
Fractional laser resurfacing after 50 years as an alternative to plastic
Fractional laser resurfacing is also called:
- fractional photothermolysis;
- fractional peeling;
- Laser nanoperforation.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible using the fractional laser exposure technique. In terms of the effectiveness of a facelift, the procedure can be compared to using stem cells, but fractional laser resurfacing is safer and more affordable.
It is necessary to carry out the procedure in a cosmetology clinic that has the corresponding certificates. The use of the laser by non-specialists can cause burns and other adverse effects.
Advantages of the method
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of facial rejuvenation without surgery, which has many advantages:
- no severe pain
- Noticeable effect even after a procedure;
- No negative side effects;
- Short recovery period.
An important advantage is an affordable price with pronounced efficiency. The procedure solves several cosmetic problems at once: smoothes wrinkles, tightens and removes post-acne scars.

- Photo and chronoaging;
- Superficial and deep wrinkles;
- Sagging of the skin, loss of a clear oval of the face;

The patient should warn the cosmetologist about the presence of chronic diseases. Based on this, the specialist decides which technique can be used.
The essence of the procedure
The technique consists of the impact of a laser beam on the deep layers of the skin. In the affected areas, the cells "burn", which stimulates the regeneration process, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women over 50 years of age are advised to use a non-ablative exposure method. Its difference is that there is no rehabilitation process. This allows you to smooth even deep wrinkles without a rehabilitation period.
Effect
For the first few days after exposure, the skin will be swollen.
It should be noted:
- In the first 2-3 hours, a slight burning sensation;
- In the first 1-2 days - redness;
- On the 2-3rd day - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be especially sensitive to sunlight, so it is necessary to apply a protective cream with SPF before going outside.
After the peeling stops, the effect of the procedure will be noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin tightens, the face looks fresh. But in order to achieve a pronounced result, you need to undergo a course of procedures. Their number is determined individually.
What methods are ineffective at this age?
A professional cosmetologist will provide assistance in choosing the appropriate method of rejuvenation.
After 50 years, it will not be possible to achieve a good effect when using:
- Light fruit peels;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These procedures are good for young women. After fifty and over sixty years, combined techniques are needed that give a pronounced lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.
Reviews of rejuvenation without surgery.
Reviews about facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive opinions, but there are also those who did not like the procedure.
- "With age, pronounced wrinkles and age spots appeared. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use non-surgical methods. The beautician recommended fractional laser resurfacing. I am satisfied with the procedure, I did it without severe pain and no bruising. Already on the sixth day, the face looked decent, although more rosy than usual. I can say that there is one result: the eyelids tightened, the wrinkles became smaller, the small pigment spots disappeared, but the The big ones just paled. I'll repeat the process later. "
- "I am afraid to have plastic surgery, so I took care of my skin very carefully. But after 50, the face "collapsed", there were cheeks, a second chin, a network of wrinkles. I opted for fractional laser resurfacing . What can I say, it was very painful for me, tears rolled from my eyes, I could hardly bear this execution. In the morning I woke up and was scared in the mirror: a face like a tramp beaten. Somehow survived 3 days, then it got better. But she could really "go out with people" only after 2 weeks. My eye wrinkles disappeared, the oval became lighter, the nasolabial folds became shallower. The effect is not bad, but the second time I will not dare to bear this pain even for the sake of beauty.
