“How to find the elixir of eternal youth and beauty?” - this question worries women at any age, and there is still no clear answer to it. It’s very easy to look good in your youth, a minimal set of facial cosmetics and that’s it, beauty! What's next?! After 30 years, every sleepless night, worries, ecology, bad habits - all this and much more is reflected in the appearance, that is, on the face. Moreover, the beginning of the manifestation of age-related changes is not a new phenomenon, but nevertheless it is more and more frustrating. But the vicious circle can be broken. Cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation will come to the rescue, capable of “erasing” from the face almost all defects that arise with age.
Recognizing the enemy
In the “crisis” of 30 years, women fanatically study all the news in the field of cosmetology in the hope of finding “their” way of rejuvenation among a huge number of them. The method should be chosen based on the existing problems, because after 30 years significant changes occur. The body's production of elastin and collagen, which are responsible for cell restoration and provide the necessary level of skin elasticity, slows down. The oval of the face “floats”, the first wrinkles, excessive pigmentation, and swelling appear.
Full rejuvenation using radical methods is not yet required at this age, but in order to slow down the aging process, it is necessary to launch the mechanisms of self-regulation and restoration of the skin at the cellular level. Only an experienced cosmetologist will offer a suitable procedure; this can be either a long-known hardware procedure or an exclusive technique.
Cleaning
Proper and high-quality cleansing is mandatory at any age; this is the first stage on the path to rejuvenation. Regular removal of dead epidermis will ensure that the skin absorbs more nutrients. Starting from the age of 30, hardware facial cleansing with ultrasound is preferable. It is less traumatic (compared to manual), and has virtually no side effects. In addition, ultrasonic cleaning gives a slight lifting effect. The maximum frequency of the procedure is 1 time per month.
A more “rough”, painful and traumatic method of rejuvenation is chemical peeling, the type of which is chosen depending on the condition of the skin. This method allows you to “remove” the top layer of skin, impurities in the pores, remove pigmentation, and smooth out fine wrinkles.
Vitaminizing
Injections of “youth” - mesotherapy and biorevitalization, procedures are similar in essence, but the “content” is different.
Mesotherapy is the injection of active anti-aging substances under the skin. When the first signs of aging appear, small doses of antioxidants and vitamins are sufficient.
Biorevitalization is the same injection, but with completely different components. Hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin in places where wrinkles appear (nasolabial folds, crow's feet, the area around the lips), a substance that is produced in the body, but with age this process is reduced to almost nothing. After the procedure of “replenishing” hyaluronic acid, the skin’s ability to retain moisture in the cells is restored, which helps to “fill in” wrinkles and overall rejuvenation of the face.
How to choose facial treatments?
Each age requires certain facial care procedures.
Let's take a closer look at what facial procedures should be performed at different age periods.
20-25 years old At this age, facial skin is elastic and elastic, the main task of care at this stage is to preserve these qualities for as long as possible, so you should: • regularly visit a cosmetologist for facial cleansing - you can choose ultrasonic, manual or vacuum cleaning. Optimally combine several technologies; • peeling - light chemical peeling will help you forget about pimples and blackheads, • cosmetic face masks - moisturizing and soothing. A cosmetologist will help you choose the right facial skin care products.
25−30 years Everyone knows that biological aging begins to appear at the age of 25. The first signs: skin cells exfoliate poorly, the thickness of the stratum corneum becomes greater, the regeneration process slows down, and moisture evaporates faster. However, regular visits to a cosmetologist will help overcome these signs. The most popular procedures at this age are: mesotherapy, fruit peeling or biorevitalization.
30-35 years old At this age, changes in the contour of the face begin to appear: the nasolabial fold becomes more noticeable, the corners of the mouth droop slightly. When using fillers based on hyaluronic acid, a cosmetologist will be able to eliminate these manifestations. If you have active facial expressions and your forehead is no longer completely smooth, you can correct wrinkles using Botox injections. The cosmetologist will also recommend simple exercises that will help tighten your cheeks.
35−40 years As she approaches this age, a woman begins to notice that her face is no longer so fresh, her cheeks lose their tone, the oval of her face is no longer as clear, and age bags appear under her eyes. A cosmetologist will help you create an individual program for correcting age-related facial changes. It may include: revitalization, plasma lifting, peeling, laser resurfacing, botulinum toxin injection or the use of fillers to fill nasolabial folds. The specialist will also advise you on how to choose the right exercises for your chin and simple methods for lifting your cheeks.
After 40 years Even very oily skin becomes drier by this age. Pigment spots appear (this applies to sunbathing lovers), the volume of the cheekbones and cheeks changes, and nasolabial folds worsen. Modern technologies will come to the rescue to correct these defects. With the help of fillers and volumizers, you can lift your cheekbones and improve skin turgor; a facelift or laser resurfacing will help reduce wrinkles and improve your complexion. Modern thread technologies will correct the oval of the face. Japanese facial massage will also help to slightly reduce age-related changes on the face.

Current strength
Electrotherapy is a new direction in the field of rejuvenation, the founder of the method is the French doctor Jacques Arsene D'Arsonval, who for a long time conducted research and studied the effects of currents on the human body. It was he who noticed the rejuvenating effect of the Darsonval apparatus, named after him, on the skin. Initially, the device was used exclusively in medicine, but in the last decade it has been successfully used in cosmetology.
This hardware procedure is called darsonvalization. Its essence lies in the pulsed action of high-frequency current of low voltage. Exposure occurs through contact or non-contact methods. As a result, blood circulation and lymph outflow improves, which in turn helps to activate metabolic processes and tissue regeneration.
The range of application of the Darsonval apparatus in cosmetology is so wide that we can talk about it endlessly. The main indications are:
- skin aging;
- presence of wrinkles;
- decreased turgor;
- the presence of acne and inflammation;
- excessive dryness and pallor of the skin;
- increased porosity and oily skin;
- cosmetic defects on the face and other parts of the body.
The Importance of Cleansing
Cleansing is the key to healthy skin and the effectiveness of all procedures. Without it, any cosmetics are powerless. You can spend tens of thousands of rubles on branded creams and decorative cosmetics, but without cleansing it is impossible to ensure a well-groomed and fresh appearance.
You need to cleanse your skin correctly. We start the morning with washing. Overnight, the skin has released toxins and sebum, which needs to be washed off. If the tap water is clean enough, wash it off using special cosmetics.
It is better to use foams - they are neutral and light in composition and wash off very well without leaving a film on the skin. Cleansing gels are more difficult to wash off from the surface of the skin. Finish washing with cool water to maintain tone.
Be sure to use a non-alcohol tonic, it will help get rid of any remaining cleanser. Those with very sensitive and dry skin should wash their face with settled or boiled, soft water. Some experts recommend using no-rinse products such as milk and micellar water in caring for dry skin.
However, cosmetology professionals have recently come to the conclusion that leave-in products should not be used due to the large amount of surfactants that remain on the facial skin and can cause irritation.
The evening cleansing procedure should begin with a two-phase eye makeup remover (if you use one). There are many brands in this niche, choose the gentlest product for sensitive skin. The skin around the eyes is very vulnerable, it is the first to age and should be treated very gently.
After cleansing, wipe your face with milk. It will help dissolve the remnants of powder or foundation, as well as everything that the polluted atmosphere on the street gives us. After cleansing with milk, you should wash with warm water and your favorite cleanser and wipe your skin with toner, preparing it for using night care.
Spa at home
The Darsonval rejuvenation device can be used at home. Pulse currents are supplied through the included glass nozzles (vacuum electrodes). When they come into contact with the skin, ozone, which has a high bactericidal property, is formed, but the nozzle must first be disinfected. Before the procedure, the skin must be thoroughly cleaned and dried. To avoid burns, it is not recommended to use products containing alcohol.
Using Darsonval for the first time, you should choose the minimum intensity level, gradually (with each procedure) increasing it. In any case, the best guide will be sensations; a slight tingling sensation is considered normal.
To improve the overall condition of the skin (increase elasticity) and eliminate wrinkles, the facial skin should be treated strictly along massage lines. The duration of one session should not exceed 15 minutes; the entire course includes 10-15 procedures.
To eliminate defects (inflammation, acne), choose a higher level of intensity, with a targeted effect on the problem area. In this case, 20 sessions will be needed. At the end of each session, be sure to apply a moisturizing mask.
Having crossed the 30-year mark, it is not at all necessary to fanatically follow all the news in the field of cosmetology and try all the expensive new products on your own face. To achieve a lasting anti-aging effect, specialists have in their arsenal a variety of hardware cosmetology that has been proven over the years, effective and affordable. Choose the best option for your skin, and it will thank you!
Top 5 salon procedures in the mid-price segment
Rejuvenation programs include injection and hardware techniques.
Botulinum therapy
Effective for eliminating wrinkles in the forehead, bridge of the nose and “crow’s feet” around the eyes. The drugs “Botox”, “Dysport”, “Xeomin”, “Lantox” and others, which are injected into the facial muscles, block the transmitted nerve impulses. The skin is smoothed. The effect lasts for about 5–6 months, then the procedure is repeated.
Mesotherapy
This is the introduction of individually selected cocktails based on hyaluronate, organic acids, various vitamin complexes and plant extracts. The injection depth does not exceed 0.6 mm. Beauty injections are carried out manually or using injectors - hardware mesotherapy.
The first effect is noticeable after 2-3 procedures, a lasting result appears after the 4-5th, but the course continues until 8-10 procedures to consolidate the effect.
Positive changes after a course of mesotherapy last for about six months. They can be extended with repeated mesotherapy or maintenance procedures for 1–2 sessions per month.
Biorevitalization
This procedure helps eliminate skin imperfections by saturating the deep layers with hyaluronate. Carried out using:
- The classic method is multiple subcutaneous injections using a syringe or hardware attachments. The method is distinguished by the fastest and most pronounced effect, but after the injections characteristic papules appear, swelling and hematomas may occur.
- Laser biorevitalization - when hyaluronate is delivered to tissues using laser pheresis. The advantages of this method over injections are a shortened recovery period and a minimum of contraindications. But the efficiency is noticeably lower. If in the classic version 1–2 injections are required, then with the laser technique you need to undergo 5–8 procedures.
