Ice is also effective against wrinkles. You just need to take an ice cube and draw it along the massage lines starting from the neck and moving to the forehead.
Salon methods
Salon rejuvenation procedures are especially popular among women, because they have an effect quickly and visible. Salon methods are surgical, injection and hardware.
Injection methods are:
- Botox, the introduction of which leads to a relaxation of the ocular circular muscle and, as a consequence, the smoothness of the dermis.
- Mesotherapy - the introduction under the epidermis with microneedles of scanty doses of a drug containing vitamins, collagen and hyaluronic acid. This drug acts on areas of the skin with wrinkles, smoothing them.
- Fractional mesotherapy - numerous punctures with the introduction of special substances under the skin. The punctures are completely invisible, and there are many points of influence, which accelerates the result.
- Contour plastics - the introduction of fillers - preparations based on hyaluronic acid. Getting under the skin, they fill its "voids", smoothing out irregularities. Such sessions are prescribed to women over the age of 50.
- Biorevitalization is the same as mesotherapy, with a difference in the composition of the drugs.
Hardware methods involve microdamaging the skin in order to start cell regeneration and activation of young cells. After hardware methods, rehabilitation is required in several days, since redness appears on the skin.
Hardware methods include:
- Chemical peeling is a surface effect on the skin with acids (a gentle composition is used for the skin around the eyes). After peeling, a burn is formed on the skin, after which the skin begins to actively recover with the formation of new cells.
- Miostimulation is an effect on the skin by current, as a result of which the muscles of the face contract, triggering metabolic processes.
- Photorejuvenation - rejuvenation with the help of light. In the eye area, this procedure is not performed, since the area of the skin there is tender. But the procedure operates in a wide range and in the eye area wrinkles are smoothed out.
- Laser rejuvenation - exposure to the upper layer of the skin with a grid of laser beams of microscopic thickness. Activates collagen production.
Plastic surgery
In more complex situations, women resort to plastic surgery:
- Lifting - a facelift from wrinkles and sagging by tightening the skin.
- The surgical method includes blepharoplasty. This is an operation to change the cut of the eyes and the shape of the eyelids. This method of rejuvenation is prescribed to women after 45 years, when the skin becomes sagging in the eye area. Excision of its excess significantly changes the situation, making the skin smoother and the appearance of a woman younger.
- “Golden threads” - the procedure for introducing a thin golden thread under the skin, which is “accompanied” by a polyglycol thread. The introduction of such a thread provokes the production of natural collagen, which creates a dense skeleton and skin tightening.
- Lipofilling - surgical correction of cosmetic defects by introducing the patient's fat cells. This allows you to shape the contour of the face, fill in the folds in the nose, corners of the mouth and under the eyes, smooth out eyebrows and wrinkles, and correct inverted scars.
