To significantly reduce the signs of skin aging and slow down the aging process, it is not at all necessary to go under the surgeon's scalpel. Depending on the specific problems and the age of the client, beauty salon specialists choose a variety of anti-aging programs that include hardware, injection and aesthetic procedures. Let's dwell on the most popular methods of rejuvenation salons.
When non-surgical rejuvenation methods are used
The skin on the face, as well as in the neck and décolletage area, requires special attention and professional care in cases of:
- dull, gray skin color;
- age pigmentation;
- sagging, decreased skin elasticity;
- imitative and static wrinkles;
- sagging of the corners of the eyelids, eyebrows, lips (gravitational ptosis);

The most effective anti-aging methods or a complex of anti-aging procedures will help you choose an esthetician. The specialist prescribes both single anti-aging procedures and courses of rejuvenation sessions.
Rejuvenating beauty injections
Intradermal and subcutaneous injections are minimally invasive rejuvenation methods that provide a pronounced and long-lasting effect. Popular types of antiaging injection procedures, in particular, include:
- biorevitalization and mesotherapy- injections of hyaluronic acid and meso-cocktails, which can improve the condition of the facial skin and slow down the aging process in the dermis tissues. The method is also in demand among girls and young men;
- botulinum therapyaimed at rejuvenation, softening facial wrinkles due to facial muscle immobilization with intradermal injection of botulinum toxin;
- filler injection- Intradermal fillers based on hyaluronic or polylactic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite. The most common in cosmetology are hyaluronic fillers, which are injected at different depths. Injectable anti-aging biogels are used to fill superficial, medium and deep wrinkles, correct facial contours and replenish volumes lost with age. For injectable rejuvenation, reducing the signs of aging, biodegradable fillers are introduced, which first create volume due to the filler and then maintain a rejuvenating effect due to the initiation of the natural process of collagen and elastin production;
- lipolytic injections- separation of fat cells in the cheeks, cheekbones, chin.
With significant signs of aging, anti-agingraising the thread– bioreinforcement with absorbent threads of the lower third of the face. Another popular type of injection rejuvenation methods isplasmolifting(Platelet-rich plasma), the introduction into the layers of the skin of a person's blood plasma, enriched with platelets.
Facial rejuvenation procedures
Modern equipment cosmetology allows you not only to eliminate the first signs of aging, but also to rejuvenate the skin for ten years. Depending on the specific problem and the depth of the manifestation of skin aging, the cosmetologist may recommend the following anti-aging procedures:
- photo and laser rejuvenation, in which the anti-aging effect is achieved due to the heating of the skin layer with light rays and the activation of natural regeneration processes in the skin. Photoregeneration, which is recommended for women and men aged 25-45, has a fairly gentle rejuvenating effect and aims to correct some aesthetic defects: wrinkles, age spots, post-acne. Laser resurfacing (fractional lifting) is more aggressive and recommended for severe signs of aging for the 40+ category;
- biorevitalization without injection or mesotherapy. Hyaluronic biorevitalisants and mesotherapeutic cocktails are used to perform antiaging manipulations. Penetration of useful ingredients into the skin is carried out using laser exposure;
- SMAS Lift. The revolutionary anti-aging technique deserves special attention. The essence of the non-invasive SMAS lifting procedure is the focused action of ultrasound on the muscular-aponeurotic system located below the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous fat. The process of rejuvenation, tissue renewal takes place in the deep layers, as a result of which the oval of the face is tightened, the sagging is eliminated, the second chin is removed, the corners of the eyes, lips and eyebrows are raised. The renewal procedure is one time, it is carried out once a year;
- RF lift- a rejuvenation technique based on the effect of high-frequency currents on the dermis and hypodermis. The effect of skin rejuvenation occurs due to tissue heating and stimulation of the production of collagen, elastin and its own hyaluronic acid;
- cryolifting- Cold skin rejuvenation procedure. In this case, the treatment of the facial skin with a special probe tip, cooled to -15 ° C, acts as a stimulator of active regeneration processes, slowing down aging.
Hardware methods of rejuvenation, which are included by cosmetologists in complex anti-aging programs, also include basic procedures -ultrasonic cleaning and laser carbon peeling.
Aesthetic cosmetology for facial rejuvenation
Along with equipment and injection methods, cosmetology also uses simpler but no less effective procedures for facial skin rejuvenation. These include, in particular:
- chemical peeling;
- skin care programs for rejuvenation using a range of professional cosmetics according to skin type;
- the massages.
Acid-based peeling- Quite popular anti-aging procedures, which are particularly effective at the first signs of facial skin aging. The method works by exfoliating the top layer of the skin's corneum and damaging the living tissue of the epidermis. The deeper layers of the skin are not affected. Microburning of the skin causes an increase in the growth of collagen and elastin fibers and an acceleration of the tissue renewal process. To correct age-related changes, medium peels are used. Deep rejuvenating peeling involves the use of a highly toxic agent and is performed only in specialized clinics and only once in a lifetime.
For face lifting and rejuvenation in cosmetology salons, varioustypes of massages:
- classic handbook;
- corugi;
- myofascial;
- sculptural;
- buccal;
- Spanish chiromassage.
Rejuvenating facial massages vary in technique. In general, their essence lies in normalizing metabolic processes, removing swelling and stimulating cell regeneration.
Complexes of rejuvenating procedures for the skin of the face with the use of cosmetic products include cleaning, peeling, application of anti-aging liquids and serums.
Selection of nonsurgical antiaging procedures by type of aging
Cosmetologists distinguish 4 types of facial skin aging, according to which they choose corrective care and rejuvenation procedures.
- The fine wrinkled type of aging. With this type, the face is covered with a network of wrinkles, age spots, facial contours do not change. To combat age-related changes, chemical peeling, mesotherapy procedures are prescribed. Photoregeneration and botulinum toxin injections are very effective.
- Gravitational type of aging. A characteristic feature is the deformation of the oval of the face (the presence of a second chin, jowls). There are also nasolabial folds, drooping of the eyelids. The most effective rejuvenation methods are massages, radio wave lifting, SMAS lifting, lipolytic injections.
- The tired kind of aging. In people with this type, age-related changes are manifested in an unhealthy complexion, the formation of bags under the eyes and nasolacrimal furrows, slight ptosis of the eyebrows, eyelids and corners of the lips. Fillers, skins, lifting techniques are used as effective means of rejuvenation.
- Muscular type of aging. Signs of skin aging in this case are "crow's feet" around the eyes, hyperpigmentation, fine wrinkles around the mouth, pronounced sagging tissue, and no oval face deformities. With the muscular type of aging, peeling, botulinum toxin and phototherapy are recommended for skin rejuvenation.
The type of aging is not the only criterion, although important, in the choice of rejuvenation methods. Anti-aging care is necessary for the skin after 30 years, the most effective anti-aging procedures or their complex will help you choose an esthetician.
