"At 50, you have the face you deserve, " said Coco Chanel.
what do you deserve
We will tell you how to do anti-aging procedures correctly and safely, so that at 50 you can say that you deserve to admire your reflection and catch admiring glances.
It is better to lay the foundations of natural rejuvenation when you are young, and after 30 years of training is already a mandatory part of self-care.
What are anti-aging procedures (rejuvenating).
Every woman has an approximately equal chance of getting one of two things by the age of 50: a "peach" face or a "baked apple" face. Preserved youth or thinness.
Yes, there are compelling factors that can bring you extra years, such as genetics and hormonal disorders. But often it all depends on how you live: what you eat, how you feel, how active you are, how you take care of yourself. And the first violin in this youth orchestra is played through rejuvenating procedures.
Mankind has been trying for thousands of years to invent the "elixir of youth. " What is not used: hallucinogenic drinks, eating dried snakes and frogs, breathing young girls, moxibustion.
With the development of science, we have received a justification of what helps and what prevents the prolongation of youth.
Harmful:food waste, stress, ultraviolet light, alcohol, cigarettes. . .
healthy:movement, positive emotions, regular and quality intimate life, vitamins, unsaturated fats. . .
And, of course, anti-aging procedures. There are a huge number and they make a lot of money. Hundreds of billions of dollars (! ) A year are earned from all kinds of "youth injections", hardware techniques, threads, aesthetic operations.
Yes, now these are not fly agarics with vipers, but "pharmacological discoveries", "technical inventions", "innovations" - all kinds of fruits of progress with playful names. Botulinum therapy, mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasma lifting, contouring, RF-lifting, SMAS-lifting, photorejuvenation, cryolipolysis, dermabrasion, blepharoplasty, condensed lifting, fractional laser rejuvenation. . . The list goes on and on.
But, alas, the real effect of modern anti-aging techniques on the body is still very poorly understood. In most cases, there is no full-fledged research that reflects the consequences of cosmetic intervention, even for several years to come, let alone in the long run.
Such studies are partly impossible due to the relative novelty of cosmetology in general, but most importantly, they are also unprofitable. If science takes into account all the consequences of "criminal" cosmetology, it could seriously undermine the industry.
After all, most salon procedures are a fabrication, a short-lived appearance of youth, behind which lies the dilapidation of the tissues.
This does not mean that facial rejuvenation is impossible. Against. There are effective techniques.
But first things.
Indications for anti-aging procedures
Anti-aging procedures are aimed primarily at women aged 30+. It is generally accepted that it is at this age that the skin changes from young to mature.
Although facial aging is not just a skin story. Also important: muscle tone, posture, neck statics, tendon helmet mobility, blood circulation, lymphatic drainage. In order for this whole structure to work smoothly, you need to cultivate the right childhood habits.
And it is optimal to start anti-aging procedures at the age of 20-25. After all, it is at this age that the mechanisms of aging are activated. They may not yet be visible on the face, but the processes are already underway, blood flow is already beginning to deteriorate. And the sooner you start reversing the negative processes, the longer you will stay young.
When do anti-aging treatments become mandatory (if, of course, you are striving for beauty)? Then, when you notice the following signs on your face:
- loss of skin elasticity, reduced turgor,
- floating contour of the face, "squaring" of the oval,
- slipped on his cheeks and flew,
- wrinkles, creases, creases: from crow's feet to nasolabial folds,
- the drooping corners of the lips and the wrinkles of grief coming down from them,
- bags under the eyes and swelling,
- drooping corners of the eyes and drooping upper eyelids,
- matte complexion, age spots,
- thinning of the skin, hypersensitivity.
Defects in the neck and décolleté are also added here: sagging skin, "Venus rings", "turkey goose" (drops of tissue under the chin).
Cosmetological procedures for facial rejuvenation
Does the mirror remind you every time that you are no longer a girl? And I want to look fresher, to tighten and smooth everything, to lift the corners of the lips, eyelids, eyebrows. Tear off the mask of a woman who is sad and exhausted from her life.
What to do?
The first step that is actively imposed on modern women is to go to a beautician.
But we want to do everything right without harming beauty, youth and health.
Therefore, let's understand how most cosmetic techniques work.
The truth may surprise you, but cosmetology is:
- Imaginary youth.99% of the procedures provide a short-term rejuvenating effect (if any). At the same time, the causes of aging are not eliminated, but deepened. When the effect subsides a few months after the cosmetic intervention, the face will look older than before the procedure.
- Deterioration of tissues.Most of the invasive and hardware cosmetic procedures are aggressive invasion from the outside and violation of the body's self-regulation. Stress. This effect contradicts physiology. The body is forced to defend itself, to expend resources. This starts a series of negative processes. Everything on which the youth of the face rests suffers: skin, muscles, blood flow, lymphatic drainage.
- Health risks.Most cosmetic procedures (injections, sutures, operations, microneedles, dermabrasion) violate the integrity of the body. Some (laser, radio waves, light, thermage) create internal burns. Therefore, complications often occur after the procedures. The severity varies from infection and inflammation to tissue necrosis (death), nerve palsy, speech dysfunction, blindness and more.
- A blow to beauty.The result of cosmetic procedures, as a rule, has nothing to do with beauty. Swollen waxy faces with irregular proportions and distorted features - we see these victims of "criminal" cosmetology on every corner. From fillers the lips turn into shapeless "dumplings" and turn out to be like a duck's beak. From Botox the face loses its ability to express emotions, becomes immobile, asymmetries often develop (one eyebrow falls over the eyes, the lips go down in one corner). "Armature" made of threads can swell, shine, migrate, gather in lumps. These are just a few examples. There are many aesthetic side effects.
- Addictive.You sit on the needle and scalpel of the beautician. Eventually, when the effect of the procedure disappears (and this happens very quickly), then the face becomes exhausted and wrinkled, "flows down". And again you run for a brace. From time to time the effect becomes weaker. turns into an ugly mask with inhuman features.
- High priceA cosmetic procedure is very expensive. Most of the techniques involve exposing courses. Sometimes it is necessary to go through up to 10-15 sessions per course and after six months repeat everything again. In addition, cosmetologists often promote complex rejuvenation, ie with the help of various techniques. As a result, the "investment" in the illusory youth turned out to be colossal. Be prepared to pay huge sums for a lifetime.
Types of modern anti-aging facial procedures
There are three main ways to treat aging skin in salons: pricking, cutting or machine.
The first two options are accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the body, ie these are invasive techniques. Hardware techniques most often affect the inner layers of tissues without damaging the epidermis.
Each of these areas is represented by different specific techniques. The main ones are:
- Injection techniques:botulinum therapy (Botox), contouring (fillers), mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasmalifting.
- Surgical techniques:suture lifting, 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 takes into account the interests of our physiology? No.
Judge for yourself what options are available.
- Paralyze some muscles and increase the load on others- Botox injections.
- Stretch the skin with fillers, which will also interfere with normal blood flow and tissue drainage- fillers.
- Everywhere you hurt the skin with needles, turning it into a continuous healing wound:mesotherapy and biorevitalization (cosmetics are injected into the face using hundreds of injections), plasma lifting (hundreds of injections from the patient's own plasma), microneedling (the face is "wound" to the blood with a needle roller or "sealed" with a needle print).
- Cut off excess skin and fat- rhytidectomy (surgical facelift), blepharoplasty (eyelid correction).
- "Sew" the face with absorbable or permanent sutures, provoking the degeneration of healthy collagen into fibrous- lifting threads.
- Peel off the layers of skin like sandpaper- dermabrasion, laser surfing, chemical peeling.
- "Burn" the inner layers of the skin- laser, ultrasound, radio waves, light.
- Destroys tissues by freezing- cryolipolysis.
Where is the youth here? Nowhere. Only worsening of thinness.
How to be?
Anti-aging procedures at home
Let's define what we need:
- Security.No risks to health and beauty.
- A pronounced and lasting result, not a short-term appearance of rejuvenation.This requires eliminating the causes of aging, starting the natural mechanisms of rejuvenation, not masking the problem.
Only natural rejuvenation techniques can give us that. Exercise, gymnastics and self-massage - this is what will help us lose 10-15 years of our face and keep this result for years.
This, of course, is not the "magic" syringe of a beautician. Don't expect instant "miracles". Regularity and consistency are needed here. You should do it every day, for 15-30 minutes a day.
But in a few weeks you will notice the results, and in a month they will become obvious to others.
To look good, make natural rejuvenation techniques your healthy daily habit for life.
Plus the fact that you take care of yourself. This means that you:
- you begin to understand your body better,
- you don't pay huge sums for the fact that you end up getting old,
- you can do exercises at any convenient time and not adapt to anyone.
What will you achieve?
- Restoration of blood and lymph flow. You will relieve spasms that interfere with the movement of blood and lymph.
- Improving the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the cells; you activate the "pumping" of everything unnecessary and harmful from 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 by the blood and does not pull the shortened, tight muscles.
- You will improve the synthesis of collagen in the dermis, you will "dissolve" the old sticky fibers and you will renew the skin.
In addition, the exercises should be performed not only on the face.
What is the best way to get around?
- Start by adjusting your posture.Often the root of all age-related problems is on the face. Work with the back, shoulders, neck, aponeurosis of the head - remove all clamps and cords that interfere with full blood flow, skin nutrition and facial muscle function. Try a few basic techniques: We lie on the roller.Stretching and relaxing the neck with the help of the "Frame"
- Proceed to an accurate examination of age-related facial defects.Laxity of the skin, wrinkles on the forehead, folds 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, dents, double chin - all this can be corrected. We do exercises and self-massage. We work with hands, vacuum boxes, dry brush, gouache scraper. Try some of the exercises for the "golden collection":We open our eyes, remove the drooping eyelids.Exercise "Liposhlep" against wrinkles and to restore the volume of the lips.Intraoral massage for nasolabial folds.Facial massage with vacuum cups
Contraindications
Naturally, cosmetic procedures, which are generally contrary to physiology, have many contraindications.
Natural rejuvenation techniques are a completely different matter. They can be used by almost anyone.
Of course, you have to use common sense. For example, if you have large bulging moles or a skin infection, then you should refrain from self-massage (topically or until healing). 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 separate exercises - they will be marked.
You can ask the osteopath who accompanies the course about the compatibility of your diagnosis and marathon exercises.
How to properly prepare for anti-aging procedures
Among other things, salon procedures are inconvenient. For example, they usually need to be prepared in advance.
- Do not sunbathe for half a month or a month.
- Avoid eating salty and spicy foods for several days.
- Drink less fluids.
- Do not drink alcohol, do not smoke.
- Observe the prohibitions on certain medications.
- Avoid strenuous physical activity.
As we can see, some prohibitions (drinking, sports, drugs) are against the body. But even if the restrictions are useful, they are still additional difficulties.
And in the case of natural rejuvenation, no preparation is required. The maximum effort is to clean the skin immediately before self-massage (in the case of canning, you will still need to apply oil or squalane). And that's all. Without restrictions and disintegration of the usual way of life.
Rehabilitation after the procedure
It is also important how you will feel after rejuvenating treatment.
After surgical, injection, hardware techniques, the rehabilitation period is most often painful. Bruises, bruises, scars, swelling, irritation, wounds, bruises, etc. are common.
And restrictions can be very inconvenient 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.
How about natural rejuvenation? There is simply no rehabilitation period here. The most "terrible" thing that can happen is that you will feel a pleasant tingling sensation from the influx of blood in the treated area and a slight pain in the body. Even out of habit, bruises can appear after the cans (then they will pass).
All these are signs that the right processes are starting in the body.
Effective procedures after 30-35 years
After 30 years, the sentence is issued on the skin: "Mature". At this time, the metabolism in the cells and the production of "building" protein slows down. The barrier function is weakened. Moisture, turgor, elasticity decrease.
For cosmetologists, this is a reason to "recruit" new "victims" in the ranks of their clientele. They impose on young and flowering women the idea that it is now necessary to do chemical peels, to undergo mesotherapy or biorevitalization once every six months, to use hardware techniques, etc.
For the smallest first wrinkles, they run a campaign for botulinum therapy. It is said that it will be possible to avoid the appearance of deep wrinkles in the future. But we already know that due to muscle paralysis and destruction of the entire muscle configuration, everything will be just the opposite: the defects will come out ahead of time.
None of this can be done.
What can you do? Massages, exercises, gymnastics. In addition, natural rejuvenation techniques do not specialize in age. They are suitable for everyone: from female students to deeply retired women.
As we have already said, they should become a mandatory program for women 30+ who take care of themselves.
Effective treatment after 40 years
After 40 years, the signs of aging become clear. Wrinkles, nasolabial folds, loss of volume, sagging skin, blurred contour, dents, sunken appearance. . . The skin needs lifting.
In the language of cosmetologists, this means regular Botox injections, contouring (fillers), more frequent mesotherapy sessions, plasma lifting, lasers, microcurrents, etc. It is now considered appropriate to install fibers under the skin.
You are prescribed many different procedures ("integrated approach"). You should visit a beautician 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, you now look no worse than you did 10 years ago and probably better. Do not stop.
Effective treatment after 50 years
At menopause (50 +/- 5 years) and then the main blow is inflicted on youth. In addition to poor blood circulation, the extinction of hormonal activity is added.
Due to the hormonal decline, the renewal of fibroblasts - cells in which the main components of young skin are produced - is stagnant. The network of blood vessels also regresses. In general, the production of the "beauty hormone" estrogen collapses, and with it the beauty itself evaporates.
Here the intensity and frequency of cosmetic procedures will exceed the scale. Surgical techniques will be added to the many non-surgical techniques and based on priority rights. The tissues will cut and stretch, cut and stretch. In the most "humane" case - for reinforcement.
The reflection in the mirror by this age, if you have long been addicted to the needle, you will no longer like. And it will be difficult to abandon "punitive" cosmetology: it is not clear what to do then with all this thinness 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 most importantlyyoung beautiful face, strong 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, start natural rejuvenation processes, eliminate swelling and relieve muscle spasticity.
