At the age of 50+ in women, the production of estrogen decreases sharply, which affects the condition of the skin. Facial rejuvenation after 50 years without surgery is possible with the help of competent methods of cosmetology and home care.
Skin care after 50 at home
Plastic surgery works wonders, but not all women can afford the surgery. But competent skin care at home is available to everyone. The main thing is to be organized and comprehensive.
Daily maintenance plan:
- Cleaning;
- tighten;
- Moisturizing, nutritional;
- UV protection.
2 times a week it is worth doing a nourishing mask, as well as connecting self-massage and exfoliation for the face.
Cosmetics
The range of skin care cosmetics for women aged 50+ is the same as in previous years. But the composition of the funds must be different.
Need:
- Get rid of products that dry out the skin - alkaline foam for washing, lotions containing alcohol;
- Purchase protective cosmetics to protect your skin from the negative effects of the sun, wind, and frost;
- Replace regular creams and tonics with anti-aging ones.
To clean and tighten you will need:
- Micellar water to remove make-up;
- Milk or cleansing cream with the correct pH;
- Alcohol-free tonic;
- Facial gommage (use every 7-14 days depending on skin type).
It is useful to wipe the face with ice cubes - it tightens and refreshes the skin. It is recommended to use a decoction of chamomile, succession, linden to make ice.
For moisturizing and nutrition use day and night cream. Separately, you need to buy a cream for the periorbital area, but for the neck you can use the same product as for the face. No need to buy expensive creams, pharmacy brands are also suitable.
A good anti-aging cream contains:
- AHA and BHA acids;
- Vitamins (tocopherol, retinol);
- coenzyme;
- Peptides;
- hyaluronic acid;
- Collagen.
It's better to buy a ready-made mask than to make your own. After 50 years, a nourishing and moisturizing mask will come in handy.
Self massage
Massage will help you stay young. Ideally, it should be performed by an experienced beautician, but self-massage is not an exception.
An effective technique is plastic massage. Provides several types of impact - squeezing, stroking, vibration. The procedure begins with a superficial effect, then proceeds to a deep dough.
Basic facial massage technique:
- caress. Light stroking movements are carried out in the direction of the least stretched line (massage line);
- Kneading is shallow. This is done with four fingers (except the thumb), the movements performed resemble drawing a spiral with small turns;
- Deep stirring. It is performed with all five fingers and palms, the pressure should be stronger;
- tapping. This is done with the fingertips along the massage lines;
- Vibration. It is performed with the bottom of the palm, the movement is directed from the middle of the sternum along the collarbone to the ear and further to the temple.
Before the massage session, the face is cleaned of cosmetics and sprinkled with powder. Instead of powder, some cosmetologists use cosmetic oils.
Another technique is a complex massage with a tablespoon. For the procedure, you need to prepare two containers of hot and cold water, a few spoons, cosmetic oil.
The impact is created by the convex part of the spoon. The technique of stroking, rubbing, lightly patting is used. It is recommended to use a silver spoon, but you can use a regular spoon. Before the session, warm oil is applied to the skin. The effect is made alternating with cold and warm spoons, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
Gymnastics
A controversial way to rejuvenate the face without injections and surgery is gymnastics for the facial muscles. Learning how to do the exercises at home is not difficult, the main thing is that the classes are regular.
There are various sets of exercises on the Internet, but our doctor's opinion is the same: gymnastics provokes the appearance of facial wrinkles! Therefore, we do not recommend doing gymnastics, make choices in favor of massage.
Salon treatment for facial rejuvenation without surgery
Salon offers 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 affecting the skin.
Thread lifting
The essence of the non-surgical face and neck rejuvenation technique is performing skin punctures and the introduction of synthetic threads that make up the reinforcing framework. The effect of the procedure field lasts 2-4 years.
Lifting with threads is recommended for ptosis of facial tissues, sagging cheeks, the formation of a double chin, changes in facial contours, the appearance of deep wrinkles.
For the manufacture of threads, polymeric materials, silicon, various acids, platinum, gold are used. The thread diameter does not exceed the thickness of a human hair. After the introduction of the thread is not felt and is not visible to others.
photo rejuvenation
The essence of the procedure is the exposure of the skin to a pulsating light. Radiation is the quantum flux supplied by the explosion. Various wavelengths are used. The maximum effect of the procedure does not appear immediately, but after the course is completed. Thanks to the photorejuvenation procedure, the collagen framework and skin structure are strengthened, the face is tightened, and fine wrinkles are smoothed out.
Benefits of light energy:
- Improve skin;
- Increase skin turgor and elasticity;
- Synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin is launched;
- The pores shrink;
- Improved skin relief;
- Pigmented spots are lightened.
This technique is not suitable for eliminating all age-related changes. To remove deep wrinkles and improve the oval shape of the face, beauticians combine hardware and injection techniques.
laser resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is a procedure that can stop aging and help remove acne scars or other skin imperfections. The point is the impact on the epidermis with a laser. The top layer of cells is evaporated, which stimulates the regeneration process.
Grinding is a type of hardware peeling. Only doctors with higher medical education who have a certificate can perform the procedure.
The rehabilitation process takes up to 4 weeks. But noticeable results include a long recovery after the procedure.
Termage
Thermage is a hardware procedure based on exposure to radio frequency waves or RF radiation. This is done using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The energy flow destroys the old skin structure. As a result, new collagen and elastin fibers are formed, providing a firming effect.
This method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, decollete, as well as for other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
Mesotherapy
The injection procedure, the essence of which is the introduction of a special "cocktail" intradermal. The preparation includes hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, peptides, growth factors and so on.
With the introduction of mesococktails, the following changes occurred:
- Pigment spots disappear;
- Improve skin;
- Dryness is removed, wrinkles are smoothed;
- The microrelief is leveled.
The drugs are administered with very thin needles. A lot of microtrauma is created, which also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and improves blood microcirculation.
Injection
When planning non-surgical rejuvenation, many women opt for the injection procedure. In cosmetology, various drugs are used:
- hyaluronic acid;
- Mesococktel;
- botulinum poison;
- Plastic contour with filler;
- Bioreparants;
- Preparations based on calcium hydroxyapatite.
The drug of choice is given by injection. A syringe or cannula is used.
Ozone therapy
Rejuvenation of the face and neck is carried out by introducing a special oxygen-ozone cocktail. After the procedure, the face becomes refreshed, small wrinkles, acne scars disappear. This technique stimulates the production of collagen.
Fractional laser rejuvenation after 50 years as a plastic alternative
Fractional laser rejuvenation is also called:
- fractional photothermolysis;
- peeling shards;
- Nanoperforated lasers.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible using the fractional laser exposure technique. In terms of the effectiveness of a facelift, this procedure is comparable to the use of stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
It is necessary to carry out the procedure in a cosmetology clinic that has the appropriate certificate. Non-specialized use of lasers can result in burns and other side effects.
Advantages of the method
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of non-surgical facial rejuvenation, which has many advantages:
- No severe pain
- The effect is noticeable even after one procedure;
- No negative side effects;
- Short recovery period.
An important advantage is an affordable price with real efficiency. This procedure solves several cosmetic problems at once - smoothes wrinkles, tightens, removes post-acne scars.
Indications and contraindications
It is recommended to use fractional laser exposure in the presence of the following cosmetic defects:
- Photos and chronoaging;
- Shallow and deep wrinkles;
- Sagging skin, loss of a clear oval of the face;
- Scars, scars;
- Vascular asterisk;
- enlarged pores;
- Dark dot.
But there are also contraindications. They must be taken into account, because at the age of fifty, not everyone has iron health. It is forbidden to carry out laser rejuvenation in such circumstances:
- inflamed areas of the face;
- skin infections;
- Psoriasis, eczema;
- Malignant neoplasm of any localization;
- heart disease;
- Epilepsy;
- immunodeficiency states;
- neurological disorders;
- Diabetes;
- Autoimmune disease.
The patient should warn the cosmetologist about the presence of a chronic disease. The specialist on this basis decides which technique can be used.
The essence of the procedure
This technique consists of impacting a laser beam on the deep layers of the skin. In the affected area, the cells "burn", which stimulates the processes of regeneration, synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women aged 50+ are advised to use non-ablative exposure methods. The difference is, there is no rehabilitation process. This allows you to smooth even deep wrinkles without a rehabilitation period.
Influence
During the first days after exposure, the skin becomes inflamed.
This can be noted:
- In the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- In the first 1-2 days - redness;
- On days 2-3 - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be very sensitive to the sun, so you need to apply a protective cream with SPF before going outside.
Once the peeling stops, the effects of the procedure will be visible. Wrinkles are reduced in depth, skin tightens, face looks fresh. But to achieve a noticeable result, you need to go through a series of procedures. Their number is determined individually.
What methods are ineffective at this age?
Assistance in choosing the right rejuvenation method will be provided by a professional beautician.
After 50 years, it is impossible to achieve a good effect when using:
- light fruit skin;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
This procedure is good for young women. After fifty and even more than sixty years, a combined technique is needed that gives a pronounced lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.
Non-surgical rejuvenation review
Reviews about facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive opinions, but there are also those who do not like this procedure.
- "As I get older, wrinkles and age spots appear. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided to go for a non-surgical method. The beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am satisfied with the procedure, I did it without any pain and bruisingwhich was severe. Already on the 6th day, her face looks decent, although it's more flushed than usual. I can say that there are results - the eyelids tighten, the wrinkles get smaller, the small pigment spots disappear, but the big ones just turn pale. I'll repeat the process later. "
- "I'm afraid to do plastic surgery, so I treat my skin very carefully. But after 50, the face "collapses", there are cheeks, a second chin, wrinkle tissue. I opted for fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it's verypainful for me, tears are flowing from my eyes, I can barely stand this execution. In the morning I wake up and frighten myself in the mirror - face like a beaten homeless woman. Somehow lasted 3 days, then got better. But shecan actually "come out to people" after only 2 weeks. My eye wrinkles disappeared, ovals became clearer, nasolabial folds became less deep. The effect is not bad, but for the second time I will not dare to endure this pain even for the sake ofbeauty.
