With age, cell regeneration slows down, which affects the condition of the epidermis. The consequences of this process are first noticeable on the face.
There are several ways to maintain skin tone that can be used at home. These include:
- Massage. With its help, blood circulation improves, therefore, cells become saturated with oxygen and nutrients;
- contrast compresses. They cause bruises on the skin and perfectly cleanse it of impurities. Can be done with Medicinal Herbs;
- Rub with ice cubes. It is reliably known that cold slows down cell aging, therefore regular use of ice slows down the process of skin aging;
- cosmetic masks. This is the most popular, comfortable, effective and popular method of rejuvenation. Masks are usually applied a couple of times a week after bathing for 15-30 minutes. In order not to cause dependence on the components, their composition must be changed every 10-15 uses. As components, aloe, various oils, apples, honey, dairy products, glycerin, etc. are used.
All methods should be used regularly. The result is then an even, smooth dermis with a healthy color, on which no wrinkles are visible and the facial contour improves. Otherwise, you should pay attention to other procedures.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Laser exposure is one of the most popular facial rejuvenation procedures in salons and a worthy substitute for blepharoplasty.
Laser rejuvenation does not require surgical intervention, it is based on the principle of applying local microdamage. This heats the area of skin around the site of exposure where collagen-producing cells are stimulated.
Damaged collagen fibers are replaced with new, well-stretched fibers that provide elasticity to the epidermis. The method is indicated not only for the appearance of wrinkles, a decrease in tone or severe flabbiness, but also for pigmentation, the presence of enlarged pores and scars. It can be used not only on the face but also on other parts of the body, including the neck and décolleté.
The procedure has no age limit, does not take much time, the session lasts only 30-40 minutes. The rehabilitation period lasts no more than 3-4 days. It is necessary for minor redness and swelling to go away. The course consists of 2-5 sessions spaced one month apart. Their number depends on the needs of the patient and the characteristics of the epithelium. The result obtained is preserved for 2-3 years.
To speed up skin recovery, it is recommended to apply anti-inflammatory drugs and emollient creams 3-4 times a day for the first three days after the session. Then, for a month, moisten the dermis with, for example, thermal water and avoid hitting it with ultraviolet radiation (this can provoke the appearance of pigmentation).
During the week, hot baths, saunas, baths, swimming pools are contraindicated.
Laser rejuvenation has a number of contraindications. It is not performed:
- during pregnancy and lactation;
- in systemic connective tissue diseases;
- with damage to the dermis;
- during the period of exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- in diseases of the circulatory system.
Before signing up for the procedure, it is advisable to consult a cosmetologist.
