As you age, the skin of the face will not be attractive, it will lose its elasticity and freshness, this can also happen due to the violation of the hormonal background of the body or the external damage of the surface. The way out of the situation may be facial rejuvenation - a procedure that provides functional or superficial correction of acquired errors.
Facial plastic surgery helps restore self-confidence for women who are worried about age-related or other skin changes.
What is a facelift?
The tightening provides a comprehensive adjustment of the upper layers of the skin, thanks to which the treated areas are rejuvenated and refreshed. Depending on how the procedure is performed, the tightening may be surgical or non-surgical.
In case of severe problems, surgery is required, the degree of complexity varies.
- The traditional cervicofacial facelift consists of pulling up the upper skin without altering or affecting the internal tissues. This option is suitable for removing fine wrinkles and correcting minor skin imperfections;
- Deep lifting (SMAS lifting) - a full-fledged operation in which multiple incisions are made, followed by removal of excess tissue;
- Endoscopic surgery is performed using modern technology. In this case, the tissues are compressed from the inside, with a miniature video camera embedded under the skin from the side of the scalp. This method avoids large incisions, which shortens the healing time after the procedure.
Non-surgical facelift techniques for skin rejuvenation have become more common in recent years because they are virtually painless, relatively affordable, and have no particular contraindications. The following are used during non-surgical skin tightening:
- serums - convenient for home use as they are equipped with a fixative dispenser (to save money), differ in the speed of action and have virtually no contraindications except for individual intolerance to the ingredients;
- deep penetrating masks - may be made of natural ingredients or may contain synthetic materials;
- lifting creams - used in most cases at night, as they preclude the simultaneous use of other cosmetics.
Non-surgical skin tightening devices are commercially available so there will be no difficulty in purchasing. Everyone has the opportunity to use such drugs at home.
Homemade products made from natural ingredients noticeably tighten and refresh the skin without visiting a beauty salon.
How to do facelifts at home?
In addition to salon techniques, there is now an easier and safer way to perform facelifting while also being used at home. Modern beauticians have developed a plethora of skin care products that have a regenerating effect, a firming effect on elongated, wrinkled skin, but there is no need to use expensive in-store cosmetics at all. Self-made natural herbal masks boast no less effective results.
Home facelifting consists of applying lifting masks and using homemade body lotions and balms to care for sensitive skin. We present the simplest and most effective recipes for home cooking.
- The cucumber mask helps to tighten dry skin, which requires heavily beaten egg whites and ½ mashed paste without ripe cucumbers, peel and seeds. Add a teaspoon of olive oil to the resulting mass and mix thoroughly. In addition to eliminating wrinkles and smoothing the oval face, such a treatment reduces the appearance of age spots. For the result to be as effective as possible, the mask should be applied 1-2 times a week for half a month or more.
- The universal cure for all skin types will be the dill composition, which contains one spoon of whipped fresh dill, one spoon of oatmeal and ½ spoons of olive oil. Apply the mass with a brush for 20-30 minutes, then wash off with cold water. The procedure should be repeated weekly.
- The honey mask perfectly stimulates the blood vessels to smooth out wrinkles and even out the tone. If you are not allergic to this component, you can tighten your face in a few days at home. You will need a tablespoon of egg whites beaten with oatmeal, we add a tablespoon of melted honey to the mixed composition. The mass is stirred and applied warm to the skin for about a quarter of an hour. Rinse with water without soap.
These are the simplest and most effective recipes, but there are other preparations as well, so everyone can choose the most appropriate care for their skin.
Treat your skin with a massage - and it will reciprocate with a wonderful look.
Home massage
In addition to masks and balms, you can also pamper your skin with a pleasant procedure such as massage. In combination with cosmetics, it helps to perform facelifting on its own. The most important thing in this business is to apply the right technique and execute the procedures in a specific order.
- First of all, it is important to monitor hygiene - you should wash your face thoroughly with running water after you have previously cleaned it of cosmetics and wash your hands with soap and water.
- The preparation stage is to process the skin with a soft cream (you can take a standard baby cream or choose a cream for sensitive skin). Failure to do so may stretch the delicate skin, causing bruising and swelling.
- We massage the facial skin from the nose to the temple with massage movements, each movement is performed exclusively with the fingertips without strong pressure.
- The next step will be to massage the forehead area - from the eyebrows up and then to the side.
- You can now move on to the chin. Smooth from the middle to the side. Let’s not forget the earlobes, they can also take part in the massage process.
- The procedure is completed by stroking the back of the submandibular zone.
It is not difficult to prepare such a massage at home, the whole procedure will take up to 15 minutes and you will see the effect in a week.
Along with the massage, simple exercises to stretch the skin do not bother you, they can be done all day. This not only helps to strengthen the face, but also allows "numb" skin cells to "elongate".
- To strengthen the skin of the neck and chin, the sounds "I", "U" should be pronounced regularly for 1-2 minutes, always stretched and tense.
- Exercises with air help to perform visual facelift. Take a breath through your nose and close your lips tightly, inflate your face to the limit, hold it in this position for 5-7 seconds, and suddenly let the air out through your mouth.
- Trying to reach your chin with your mouth open with your mouth open, this exercise develops muscle strength and forms an oval.
As you can see, there are no difficulties with these recommendations, so you can follow them without any difficulty at home. And regular exercise allows you to keep your face in good shape, which means it preserves your body’s natural beauty and youth for a longer period of time.
