Every woman sooner or later faces the fact that wrinkles appear on her face. They often appear after 30 years. There are many ways to remove wrinkles: facial gymnastics, cosmetic procedures, creams. A cosmetic anti-wrinkle patch is considered an effective method. It can be found both in pharmacies and in stores.
Useful properties, features of the patch
Cosmetics have a cotton or hydrogel base impregnated with special compounds. Patches can be in the form of a patch for a specific area or a mask for the entire face. Gel overlays are often used. Effective eye patches are used both to prevent and combat expression lines. The following ingredients are used in the composition:
- hylauronic acid;
- collagen;
- essential oils;
- extracts of medicinal herbs;
- placental cells, etc.
Among the most popular are frownies patches. They are an effective and painless alternative to Botox injections. Using patches allows you to even out your complexion, get rid of deep wrinkles, and give your skin a fresh look.
Thread lifting
The most radical non-surgical method for correcting forehead wrinkles is thread lifting.
.
Special absorbable threads with notches are inserted under the patient's skin. Intradermal introduction of threads into the skin of the forehead makes it possible to form a strong frame in the dermis, which tightens the tissue, smooths out even deep wrinkles, and prevents sagging of the skin.
Threads such as Dermafil
and
Aptos
.
Modern lifting threads are made from self-absorbing materials, they are safe and provide a long-lasting tightening effect. For example, Italian threads Dermafil
are made from surgical material caprolactone, which is completely absorbed in the body and eliminated from it naturally. During production, double cross-polymerization of caprolactone is carried out using Double R2 technology. Thanks to it, the skin is completely renewed due to the formation of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
The effect of non-surgical plastic surgery is achieved due to a special design. Designed in a herringbone shape with very small, almost invisible notches (“teeth”), these threads, when inserted under the skin, are attached using the “teeth” to the soft tissue. Thus, they form a supporting frame that tightens the contours of the face. The notches prevent the movement of fabrics and threads to other areas. The special structure allows you to get an instant lifting effect and maintain it for a long time - from 3 to 5 years.
Aptos threads act similarly. Only their composition is slightly different. Main line Aptos (Aptos)
– these are absorbable threads with Light Lift, Excellence and Nano notches made of caprolac with L-lactic acid. Kaprolac is a completely biodegradable material that dissolves within a year. Polylactic acid gives a revitalization effect and slows down the aging process. Thanks to the notches, biothreads reliably fix the tightened tissues. This results in a double effect of lifting and renewing the skin. The effect also lasts a long time - more than 5 years.
Operating principle
Forehead patches for wrinkles appeared in the last century. The principle of action is that the skin relaxes in the place where it is fixed. Accordingly, their spontaneous reduction temporarily stops. With regular use of the product, after just a few weeks you will notice how the skin becomes smoother.
Facial wrinkle bandages are usually soaked in moisturizing or antibacterial serums. They nourish the epidermis, making the skin healthier and more elastic. Thanks to this, you can see a real difference before and after use.

Rules for use at home
Methods for removing wrinkles using a patch vary depending on the problem area. For this purpose, silicone skin pads, tape and other means can be used. Korean eye patches give good results at home. Their main advantage is the adequate price-quality ratio.
A cosmetic anti-wrinkle patch is used according to approximately the same algorithm. But it is used with caution in the area around the eyes, where the skin is thinner and more delicate.
On the forehead
Wrinkle patches for the forehead and bridge of the nose are usually larger in size than for other areas. If the problem is concentrated in one place, then it can be cut off. The anti-wrinkle patch on the forehead is applied in the following way:
- tear off the back layer;
- attach to problem areas;
- smooth with a cotton pad;
- do not leave for 30-60 minutes;
- unfasten;
- Moisturizing cream is applied to the application site.
The anti-wrinkle face patch can be left on overnight.
Between the eyebrows
Perforated adhesive tape for wrinkles on the face and between the eyebrows is usually shaped like a triangle to make it easier to use on problem areas. It is recommended to lightly moisten its edges so that it holds tighter. This is especially important if the patch is left between the eyebrows overnight.
It is recommended to use the product for at least 3-4 hours daily. Within a few days you will be able to see noticeable results. Applying a patch between the eyebrows will relax the facial muscles, which will prevent the further appearance of wrinkles.
Around eyes
It is impossible to definitively answer which eye patches are better. Korean eye pads for wrinkles are known for their quality. The skin in this area is more delicate and thin, so the products have a special composition. Patches for wrinkles around the eyes contain:
- hyaluronic acid;
- colloidal gold;
- collagen;
- panthenol;
- vitamins of groups A and B;
- snail mucin, etc.
Anti-wrinkle patches under the eyes, unlike other products, cannot be left on for too long. Usually they are removed immediately after drying. It is recommended to use them daily for the first 2 weeks. Next, the anti-wrinkle patch should be used 2-3 times a week to maintain tone.

Lymphatic drainage taping of the face
The purpose of taping is to eliminate swelling and restore normal lymph flow.
- Use wide ribbons. Measure a length equal to the distance from ear to nose. Cut into strips 0.5-1.5 cm, leaving a common base (anchor).
- Secure the anchor in the area of the parotid lymph node. Having distributed the rays evenly across the cheek, stick them one at a time without tension.
The result of taping is a decrease in facial puffiness, the nasolabial fold is less pronounced.
Eyelid drainage
- Measure the length of the strip from the ear to the inner corner of the eye. Cut into 4 rays. Anchor the parotid lymph node.
- Direct the lower beam to the inner corner of the eye. The second is to the external. Trim off any excess length.
- Place the third ray under the eyebrow. The fourth is along the hairline.
- Repeat on the other side.
Lymphatic drainage taping of the entire face
- Cut the wide tape into at least 6 rays.
- Secure the anchor in the supraclavicular cavity.
- Tilt your head back and to the side opposite the application area.
- Gradually removing the protective paper, glue the rays along the neck, lower jaw, cheek to the orbicularis oculi muscle.
- When applying tape to your cheek, inflate it to avoid wrinkles.
- Try to guide the extreme beam along the border of the nasolabial triangle.
The order and technique of lymphatic drainage taping applications: the anchor should be located on the lymph node, the rays should go along the lines of large lymphatic vessels without tension. Taping lifts the skin and subcutaneous layers at the attachment points. The pressure decreases and there is more space. The outflow of lymphatic fluid accelerates. Swelling becomes less.
