Methods for facial skin rejuvenation have been 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 damaging procedures are very well studied, since they were the first to appear on the cosmetic market.
But it is also known that in any conditions, every minute, the skin is capable of self-recovery thanks to the regeneration processes taking place 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 process of its restoration 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 skin’s reaction to a needle prick (again, albeit minor, but damage! ) and the reaction of the whole body to 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 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 resurfacing or peeling with plasma lifting, since tissue healing after damage is most strongly stimulated, and not just rejuvenation of skin cells.
- SPRS therapy— intradermal transplantation 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 a cell preparation containing the dermis’ own fibroblasts is obtained under special laboratory conditions. Next, this drug is injected into the client’s skin. As a result of the procedure, the synthesis of the dermis’ own collagen fibers is enhanced, the skin thickens almost twice within six months and its elasticity increases, the number and depth of wrinkles decreases, skin color improves and the oval of the face is 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 skin-damaging effect. During the heating process of 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 metabolism, which leads to a rejuvenation effect. The procedure is safe, 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 beginning to age skin.
- The use of cosmeceuticals that have a pronounced stimulating effect. These are products that occupy an intermediate position between cosmetics and medications. 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 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 into 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 assessing the condition of the skin and its regenerative abilities.
Methods for damaging the skin are quick and effective, but are more dangerous due to complications. The method of physiological skin restoration is long-term, the result is much lower, but there are practically no complications.
This method is also good for preventing skin aging and for restoring it after damaging procedures.
The main thing is not to rush the time, thoroughly prepare the skin and follow all safety measures during the recovery period after aggressive procedures.
It is always important to take into account that it takes at least a month to restore the epidermis, and about 6 weeks to restore the dermis. There is no need to expect too quick results after physiological skin restoration procedures; there is no need to further stimulate this process.
Fearlessness and impatience are poor choices here.
