Methods for rejuvenating facial skin are well studied, but, like everything in cosmetology, they require a thoughtful individual approach that prevents the development of complications as much as possible.
The processes of skin restoration after peelings and other harmful procedures are very well studied, since they were the first to appear on the cosmetic market.
But it is also known that in any condition, every minute, the skin is capable of recovering on its own thanks to the regeneration processes that occur in 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 young and radiant 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, although minor, but harmful! ) and the reaction of the whole body to the stimulation of the active points of the facial skin. - 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 own 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 as PRP) is used, which contains biologically active substances in optimal proportions. The method is absolutely safe, a very good result is obtained by combining the methods of laser skin rejuvenation or peeling with plasma lifting, since tissue healing after damage is more strongly stimulated, and not just rejuvenation of the skin cells.
- SPRS Therapy— intradermal transplantation of fibroblasts from the skin itself. A small piece of skin (3 to 5 mm in diameter) is taken from behind the patient's atrium and a cellular preparation containing the dermis' own fibroblasts is obtained under special laboratory conditions. This medication is then injected into the client's skin. As a result of the procedure, the synthesis of collagen fibers in the dermis is improved, the skin thickens almost twice as much in six months and its elasticity increases, the number and depth of wrinkles decreases, and skin color improves. and the oval of the face is improved. fortified. Usually 2 procedures with an interval of one month are sufficient; The effect after a course of procedures increases throughout the year.
- Photorejuvenation— Laser is also used here, but without any harmful effect on the skin. During the tissue heating process, only the pigments are damaged and not the entire dermis. The pigments are melanin and hemoglobin. In addition, laser irradiation of the skin stimulates metabolism, which produces a rejuvenating effect. The procedure is safe and the recovery period is minimal. Among the disadvantages is the long course of procedures, the achieved effect is short-lived. Therefore, this method is only good for young and aging skin.
- The use of cosmeceuticals that have a pronounced stimulating effect.. These are products that occupy an intermediate position between cosmetics and medicines. 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 top layers of epidermal cells, but instead cause new cells to move and displace 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.
The cosmetologist decides which method of skin rejuvenation to choose (restoration after damage or regeneration) after assessing the condition of the skin and its regenerative capabilities.
Methods to damage the skin are quick and effective, but more dangerous due to complications. The method of physiological skin restoration is long-term, the result is much less, but there are practically no complications.
This method is also good for preventing skin aging and restoring it after damaging procedures.
The main thing is not to rush, prepare the skin well 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 about 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.
Bravery and impatience are bad options here.
