Methods of use and dosage of thiogamma
For cosmetic procedures, thiogamma is taken in the form of a solution in bottles. There the concentration of the active substance is 1.2%. In ampoules the concentration is higher, and this may cause unexpected negative reactions.
The drug is mainly used to eliminate wrinkles and tighten the skin.
- The simplest example of use is as a tonic. Apply the solution with a cotton pad morning and evening without rinsing. You can wipe the entire face, as well as directly those areas that need rejuvenation - around the eyes, nasolabial folds, facial contour. The recommended course is two weeks, then you can do the procedure once a week to maintain the effect. Afterwards, apply any cream. This method is convenient because the solution does not have fatty components, and therefore after application it does not take time for everything to be absorbed. For convenience, you can pour the solution into a spray bottle - this way you will apply the same dose every time.
- Salt mask. Take fine sea salt (if not, grind regular sea salt in a coffee grinder) and mix with water to a paste. Apply to areas where wrinkles have formed, filling them with the mixture. Wash off after 5-10 minutes; the tingling or slight burning effect means a rush of blood and activation of internal metabolic processes. Then you need to crush an aspirin tablet and also make a paste, but with the addition of Thiogamma. Apply by slapping so that the mixture sticks. Hold for 30 seconds, no more. For the best effect, you can do a light facial massage at the same time - this way you will start the lymph, provoke a rush of blood to the face and the effect will be noticeable immediately. Why is salt used? It's simple - it draws out the liquid, and Tiogamma replaces it. This way the product will be completely absorbed. Do not neglect the time frame, even if it seems that half a minute is too little. If you leave it longer, the skin can become very dry. After rinsing, it is useful to wipe your face with chamomile decoction or mineral water, then apply cream. The mask should be done in the evening, a couple of hours before bedtime.
- Another simple option is to add Tiogamma to homemade face masks. Or in a cream, just before application, and not in a jar.
Recipes for facial skin rejuvenation
How can you achieve an instant effect before an important event? It is worth preparing a remedy based on the medicine, adding other useful ingredients. It is no coincidence that the recipe that will be described below is popularly called “slaughterhouse”. After all, small wrinkles can be smoothed out almost immediately, and deep creases become much less noticeable.
To prepare, you will need a solution for infusion, a little vegetable oil (you can use olive oil), and a few drops of vitamin E. All ingredients are mixed in equal proportions. Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with warm water and apply a suitable moisturizer.
Other medications that contain thioctic acid can also be used for rejuvenation.
The main component of Thiogamma is also found in other medications. Thus, a rejuvenating recipe based on Korilip candles is popular. You will also have to prepare sea or table salt, as well as Aspirin powder (can be replaced with tablets previously crushed to a powder).
Korilip candles, which also contain thioctic acid, are pre-melted in the microwave until liquid. You also need to add a little aspirin powder to the hot mass. You should get a marshmallow mass. The resulting mask is applied to the creases where the salt mixture was previously used. This must be done as quickly as possible. The fact is that candles tend to harden very quickly.
In those places where the wrinkles are deepest, the mask should be lightly tamped with patting movements. Leave the mixture on your face for 5-10 minutes. Then you should massage the problem areas for about 30 seconds. After this, the mask is washed off with warm water, and a moisturizer is applied to the skin of the face.

Cosmetologists' opinion
Many specialists use Tiogamma in their practice. The medicine is used both in pure form and in combination with other skin rejuvenation products. The fact is that all aging processes of the dermis are associated with a decrease in the production of collagen, the protein responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. In addition, the skin loses its attractive appearance when collagen fibers are glued together with saccharides. Thioctic acid actually promotes the dissolution of glucose, preventing gluing. Also, the acid itself is a powerful antioxidant that prevents the proliferation of free radicals.
Experts say that regular use of the drug Thiogamma can significantly slow down the aging process of the skin. At the same time, you shouldn’t be zealous either. Therapy must be carried out in courses several times a year. Daily use of the medicine for a long time can lead to dryness of the dermis. As a result, the skin will become dry and begin to peel. This will definitely lead to the appearance of new facial wrinkles.
