Methods of facial skin rejuvenation have been well studied, but, like everything in cosmetology, they require a thoughtful individual approach that will prevent the development of complications as much as possible.
Skin restoration processes after peeling and other harmful procedures are very well studied, as they were the first to appear on the cosmetics market.
But it is also known that in any condition, every minute, the skin is capable of self-repair thanks to the regeneration processes that occur within it. And modern cosmetology can also influence this process with new active means and procedures.
The main goal of physiological skin restoration methods is to make the restoration process more active and direct it in the right direction to achieve the effect of youthful and glowing skin.
Methods of facial skin rejuvenation: what modern cosmetology offers us
- Mesotherapy- introduction of active substances into the skin through a series of superficial injections. The effect of mesotherapy is explained by the specific effect of the administered drug, the reaction of the skin to the prick of a needle (again, albeit mild, but harm! ) and the reaction of the whole body to the stimulation of active points on the skin of the face - similar to acupuncture.
- Biorevitalization- This is also mesotherapy, but in this case hyaluronic acid is injected into the skin. Once in the dermis, under the influence of enzymes and oxidation processes, it begins to disintegrate into small fragments. Dermal cells - fibroblasts - begin to perceive these fragments as a signal that their hyaluronic acid or collagen fibers have been destroyed and begin to actively synthesize new fibers and hyaluronic acid.
- Plasmolifting- a method based on the ability of platelets and stem cells in blood plasma to stimulate wound healing processes. In cosmetology, platelet-rich plasma (abbreviated to PRP) is used, which contains biologically active substances in optimal proportions. The method is absolutely safe, an excellent result is achieved by combining the methods of resurfacing or laser peeling with plasma lifting, since tissue healing after damage is strongly stimulated, and not just the rejuvenation of skin cells.
- SPRS therapy— intradermal transplant of one's own skin fibroblasts. A small piece of skin (3-5 mm in diameter) is taken from behind the patient's auricle and in particular laboratory conditions a cellular preparation containing the fibroblasts of the dermis is obtained. Next, this medication is injected into the client's skin. As a result of the procedure, the synthesis of collagen fibers of the dermis is improved, the skin thickens almost twice in six months and its elasticity increases, the number and depth of wrinkles decreases, the skin color improves and the oval of the face is improved. strengthened. Usually 2 procedures with an interval of a month are enough, the effect after a course of procedures increases throughout the year.
- Photorejuvenation— Laser is also used here, but without any harmful effects on the skin. During the heating process of the tissues only the pigments are damaged and not the entire dermis. The pigments are melanin and hemoglobin. In addition, laser irradiation of the skin stimulates the metabolism, which leads to a rejuvenating effect. The procedure is safe, the recovery period is minimal. Among the disadvantages is the long course of the procedures, the effect obtained is short-lived. Therefore, this method is only suitable for young and starting to age skin.
- The use of cosmeceuticals that have a pronounced stimulating effect. These are products that occupy an intermediate position between cosmetics and drugs. These include retinoids and peptides (proteins). Retinoids act on all skin cells, causing them to divide and move to other layers of the skin. Unlike other types of chemical peels, retinoids do not damage the upper layers of epidermal cells, but cause the movement of new cells and the displacement of old ones. Peptides are obtained synthetically, their action imitates the action of the skin's own peptides. When a large number of protein fragments penetrate the dermis, fibroblasts perceive this as a signal of skin damage and begin collagen restoration processes.
Which method of skin rejuvenation to choose - restoration after damage or regeneration - is decided by the cosmetologist after evaluating the condition of the skin and its regenerative capabilities.
Methods of damaging the skin are quick and effective, but are more dangerous due to complications. The method of physiological restoration of the skin is long-term, the result is much lower, but there are practically no complications.
This method is also useful for preventing skin aging and restoring it after harmful procedures.
The main thing is not to rush the time, carefully prepare the skin and follow all safety measures during the recovery period after aggressive procedures.
It is always important to keep in mind that it takes at least a month to restore the epidermis and approximately 6 weeks to restore the dermis. It is not necessary to expect too quick results after physiological skin restoration procedures; there is no need to further stimulate this process.
Courage and impatience are bad choices here.
