Facelift: how to choose a skin tightening procedure?

Timely use of skin care products can delay the appearance of age-related changes on the face, but cannot stop. When the skin loses its elasticity and firmness, and the contour "floats", you need to correct the situation. Methods have to be looked for. Modern cosmetology offers alternatives to radical surgical methods. We will talk about facial rejuvenation with the help of various lifting procedures.

At a certain age, the skin becomes dry, puffy, wrinkles become more and more visible. The face appears tired due to the presence of sagging eyebrows and eyelashes and nasolabial folds. Visible signs of ageing, which are visible to others, do not add optimism to a woman.

All of these points are associated with changes in the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS). This is an area of facial musculature that stretches over time, causing the contour to "fall off". Then hardware cosmetology helps with skin tightening that is safer, more effective and less painful than plastic surgery methods. Among these are the SMAS facelift and other technologies.
