Anti-aging facial procedures after 30-35 years: what to expect from them?

For every woman, no matter how good her genetics are, sooner or later there will come a moment when she looks in the mirror and realizes that wrinkles and swelling have appeared, and there is no trace of elasticity. You can, of course, be sad and decide to leave everything as it is, but modern cosmetology has provided so many ways to improve the condition of the epidermis that it is simply stupid not to use them. Some people stop at choosing the right skincare products, but the best effect is provided by anti-aging facial treatments after 35 years.

How skin changes after 30

Facial skin rejuvenation after 30 years involves a whole range of effective measures to preserve youth. At this age, it is very important to take care of your skin so that it looks fresh and beautiful even at 40 years old. After all, it is after the thirty-year mark that the first signs of withering begin to appear. And you can’t get rid of this with creams alone.

We can talk about the influence of age in cases where:

• the skin loses elasticity and sagging appears. This occurs due to a slowdown in the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers in cells;
• dehydration of the epidermis begins, dryness and flaking appear; the complexion becomes dull and its contour becomes unclear;
• facial wrinkles form around the eyes, mouth and in the area of ​​nasolabial folds;
• in the morning bags and dark circles appear under the eyes;
• Freckles and age spots appear.

Age-related changes can appear at 31 and 40 years of age. It happens that the signs of aging are invisible for a long time. But this is not a reason to relax, because in such cases the skin fades suddenly and severely. In any case, with the right approach, the aging process can be delayed.

Skin care after 30-35 consists of medical cosmetology techniques in combination with home procedures. Olga Khusid, chief physician and anti-age therapist of the ANACOSMA clinic, focuses on the importance of caring not only for the face, but also for the skin of the neck and décolleté. Women often forget about these areas, which leads to unpleasant consequences. The skin on the neck and décolleté is thinner and not as elastic as on the face. Regularly being in contact with clothing, it ages faster and shows age.

How to choose a laser facial rejuvenation method and how many procedures are needed?

Today, the Lasmed Clinic provides several of the most popular laser procedures for skin rejuvenation. Depending on the problems and age, you can choose the optimal method:

- Fractional photothermolysis - this type of laser treatment uses very high temperatures, they allow you to remove the top layer of keratinized skin. You can also target certain problem areas. This allows you to solve problems point-by-point. The procedure is recommended for patients over 40 years old, with pronounced wrinkles and sagging skin. For a visible effect, you must complete a course of 5 procedures.

— Facial biorevitalization with laser – short laser pulses are used here. Before the procedure, a special gel is applied to the skin, which, when exposed to a laser, penetrates into the deep layers of the dermis. The procedure is intended for patients under 48 years of age who want overall skin rejuvenation, improved tone and reduction of fine lines. How many treatments are needed? Usually the course consists of 3-5 procedures.

— Laser resurfacing – this method is gentle and very effective at the same time. The laser penetrates into the deep layers of the dermis, heating and burning dead skin cells. Thus, cell regeneration and rejuvenation occurs. Recommended for patients aged 40 to 65 years with pronounced skin aging problems. Depending on the complexity of the case, the course of treatment may consist of 3-6 procedures.

- Non-ablative laser rejuvenation - long laser beams are used here to treat the entire surface of the skin. The impact of such rays is very strong, so this method is used only in cases of severe age-related changes, when no other technology can cope. Recommended for patients over 55 years of age. The doctor determines how severe the changes in the skin are and recommends a certain number of procedures, usually from 2 to 5 sessions.

“Soft” methods of medical rejuvenation

Biorevitalization is the injection of hyaluronic acid into problem areas of the face (nasolabial folds, corners of the eyes, lips, etc.). Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is part of connective tissue, attracts and retains water molecules. It fills the skin with moisture, making it elastic and smoothing the contour of the face.

Mesotherapy is the saturation of the skin with vitamins, microelements and beneficial substances through injections. Used in women over the age of 30, the composition of the solution includes vitamins with antioxidants that maintain the youth and elasticity of the epidermis. Plant extracts, biostimulants, and amino acids are also used. The procedure stimulates cell renewal, collagen production, and improves local blood supply.

Xeomin injections are facial contouring, which is carried out by injecting botulinum toxin type A under the skin. This is the latest generation drug developed by the German company. It effectively smooths out wrinkles and, unlike Dysport and Botox, preserves natural facial expressions, is non-addictive and absolutely safe.

Laser rejuvenation (Derma Genesis) is a painless face lift with a laser beam. The procedure is carried out using the CUTERA device, thanks to which it is possible to eliminate wrinkles on the face, neck and décolleté, get rid of rosacea, and restore smoothness, elasticity and radiance to the skin.

Blanching with Belotero is a modern injection technique for smoothing wrinkles. Its peculiarity is that even wrinkles in previously “resistant” areas, such as cheeks, around the mouth, forehead, neck, etc., are filled.

Comparison table of methods

The listed procedures for the face after 30-35 are combined with each other and can be used in comprehensive care. The doctor selects the best rejuvenation options and draws up a course taking into account the client’s characteristics (initial skin condition, health status, desired result, etc.).

What are injection rejuvenation techniques?

Injection cosmetology is a branch of aesthetic medicine that uses the injection of drugs through a needle or a special cannula under the skin to eliminate age-related changes and other skin imperfections.

Products simply applied to the skin do not have a cosmetic or therapeutic effect on the subcutaneous tissue. Combination with iontophoresis, electroporation and phonophoresis, microcurrents, radio frequency and ultrasonic waves, laser radiation stimulates the penetration of substances into deep layers. But at the same time, it will not be possible to purposefully and accurately administer the drug, and some active substances in electrolyte solutions and gels lose their properties under the influence of ultrasound and electromagnetic fields. In addition, during the process, drugs may disperse and reach subcutaneous tissues in small doses.

Finally, hardware methods are completely unsuitable for working with some products, since their active substance does not have the properties of an electrolyte, and manipulations with laser radiation, in particular, require expensive equipment and highly qualified professionals.

Injection rejuvenation methods solve all these problems. The administration of drugs through numerous punctures allows you to control the depth and area of ​​impact. Microtraumas from needles trigger regeneration processes in tissues: nerve endings are stimulated, local blood circulation improves, capillaries expand and become permeable, immune cells and biologically active substances enter the tissues. As a result, the protective mechanisms of the skin are strengthened, the process of production of collagen and elastin fibers by fibroblasts is accelerated, which contributes to the formation of a natural “framework” in biological tissues.

How to maintain the rejuvenation effect longer

Home skin care will help preserve the results of rejuvenation techniques. It consists of three directions:

1. The use of professional cosmetics, such as tonics, creams, lotions, scrubs, etc. When choosing care cosmetics, consult a cosmetologist.
2. Using homemade masks. Berries are rich in vitamins and nutrients that nourish the skin and maintain youth. Green leafy vegetables contain the antioxidant lutein, which slows down the aging process. Cucumber masks saturate cells with moisture, making the skin fresh and elastic. Boiled potatoes will help get rid of wrinkles. Fermented milk products are very useful. They are filled with beneficial bacteria and calcium, which eliminates signs of wilting. Honey is an excellent anti-aging remedy. It saturates the skin with vitamins, enzymes, organic acids, and also stimulates blood circulation and cell regeneration. Various medicinal herbs soften and heal the skin. They can be used to make warm compresses for the face.
3. Massages and exercises for face lifting. For example, breathing exercises can help tone your facial muscles. Take a deep breath and puff out your cheeks. Lips need to be pressed tightly. For 5 seconds, press your palms on your cheeks without releasing air from your mouth. Repeat the exercise 5 to 10 times. A mouth exercise will help tighten your cheeks and improve the shape of your face. Form your lips into an “O” shape and press your fingers to your temples, stretching the skin. Tighten your cheek muscles as much as possible, wait 5 seconds and relax. Perform the exercise 10-15 times. Wipe fading skin with ice cubes. This contrast massage refreshes the face, improves color and restores color.

In addition to home care, it is important to use decorative cosmetics carefully. Use only quality products. And be sure to remove your makeup before going to bed so that your pores don’t get clogged and your skin can breathe.

At a young age, there is no urgent need to resort to radical rejuvenation. But proper care will slow down and delay the process of skin aging. There are preparations designed specifically for young skin with shallow wrinkles (soft, light). At the same time, you should not resort to injections because of fashion trends or on the advice of friends. Contact experienced cosmetologists who will tell you which cosmetic procedures and techniques are right for you.
