Salons offer various methods of rejuvenation after 55 without surgery. These are both traditional methods (massage, masks) and new methods (introduction of fillers, hardware exposure).
The essence of the technique of rejuvenation of the face and neck without surgery is the puncture of the skin and the introduction of synthetic threads that form a strong frame. The effect of the procedure area lasts for 3-4 years.
Lifting with threads is recommended for loosening of the cheeks, the formation of a second chin, changes in the contour of the face, the appearance of wrinkles.
For the manufacture of threads used polymeric materials, silicone, various acids, platinum, gold. The diameter of the thread does not exceed the thickness of a human hair. After the introduction of the thread is not felt and not visible to othersgives.
The essence of this process is the exposure of the skin to pulsed light. Radiation is a quantum flux that is supplied by bursts. The wavelength used is 400-1400 nm. The effect of the process is not manifested immediately, but after the completion of the course 6-Occurs after 8 weeks. During this period, the collagen frame and skin structure are strengthened, the face is tightened, and fine wrinkles are smoothed out.
The light energy heats the tissues and destroys the photosensitive substances. Due to which:
- age spots disappear, complexion improves;
- turgor increases;
- The synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin is enhanced.
This technique is not suitable for getting rid of all age-related changes. Other procedures should be used to eliminate deep wrinkles and improve facial contours.
Laser resurfacing is a procedure that can stop aging. The bottom line is the effect on the epidermis with a laser. The top layer of cells evaporates, which stimulates regeneration processes.
Grinding is one of the varieties of peeling. But in comparison with acid peeling, the effect is on the deeper layers. Only a master who has a certificate can carry out the procedure.
It is a hardware procedure that is based on infrared exposure to the deeper layers of the skin. It is performed using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The energy flow heats the deeper layers of the skin to the temperature of compaction. As a result, the stretched collagen fibers tighten, providing a tightening effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenation of the skin of the face, neck, decollete, as well as other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
An injection procedure, the essence of which is the introduction of special "cocktails" under the skin. The preparation includes hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids.
With the introduction of the mesococktail, the following changes occur:
- age spots disappear;
- improves complexion;
- dryness is eliminated, wrinkles are smoothed out;
- Relief is flat.
The drugs are administered with very thin needles. A lot of microtraumas are created, which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin and improve the microcirculation of the blood.
When planning rejuvenation without surgery, many women choose injection procedures. In cosmetology, various preparations are used for injection into the skin:
- hyaluronic acid in combination with peptides;
- botulinum toxin;
- Calcium collagen hydroxyapatite.
Selected drugs are administered by injection. Very thin injection needles are used.
The face and neck are rejuvenated by introducing special oxygen-ozone cocktails. After the procedure, the face acquires a facelift, wrinkles, acne scars disappear. The technology stimulates the production of collagen.
A home alternative to ozone therapy is facial treatment with hydrogen peroxide. However, external exposure is less effective than the injection technique.
Effective facial rejuvenation is possible after 60 years without surgery using the technique of fractional laser exposure. In terms of effectiveness, the procedure can be compared with the use of stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more economical.
It is necessary to carry out the procedure in a cosmetology clinic that has the appropriate certificates. Non-specialist use of lasers can result in irritation and other adverse effects.
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of facial rejuvenation without surgery, which has several advantages:
- reduction of severe pain;
- noticeable effect even after one procedure;
- no negative side effects;
- a short period of rehabilitation.
A significant advantage is an affordable price (8-10 thousand rubles) with obvious efficiency. The procedure solves several cosmetic problems at once - smoothes wrinkles, tightens, eliminates post-acne scars.
It is recommended to use fractional laser exposure in the presence of the following cosmetic defects:
- including deep wrinkles;
- loose skin, loss of a clear oval of the face;

- Severe allergic disease.
The patient should warn the cosmetologist about the presence of any chronic diseases. Based on this, the specialist decides which technique can be used.
The technique consists of the effect of a laser beam on deeper layers of the skin. Since the beam is split into many smaller beams, its effect is only on a few microzones, leaving the rest of the tissue intact. In the affected areas, the cells are "burned". which stimulates the process of regeneration, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women aged 50+ are recommended to use a non-ablative method of exposure. The difference is that the procedure involves the deeper layers of the dermis. It allows smoothing out even deep wrinkles.
The skin will swell during the first week after exposure. It may be noted:
- in the first 2-3 hours - mild burning;
- in the first 1-2 days - redness;
- 2-3 days - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be especially sensitive to sunlight, so you need to apply a protective cream before going out.

Reviews about facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive opinions, but there are some who did not like the procedure.
first review
With age, wrinkles and obvious age spots began to appear. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use non-surgical techniques. Beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am satisfied with the procedure, I did without severe pain and bruising. Already on the sixth day, the face felt good, although it was pinker than usual. I can say that there is a result - the eyelashes became tighter, the wrinkles became smaller, smallerThe pigment spots disappeared, but the large ones only turned yellow. I will repeat the process later.
second review
I'm afraid of doing plastic surgery, so I took care of my skin very carefully. But after 50, the face "collapsed", cheeks were there, another chin, a network of wrinkles. I opted for fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it was very painful for me, tears welled up from my eyes, I could hardly bear the gallows. I woke up in the morning and scared myself in the mirror - face like a beaten homeless woman. Somehow survived 3 daysGone, then healed. But she can really "go to people" only after 2 weeks. My eye wrinkles disappeared, the oval became clearer, the nasolabial folds became less deep. The effect is not badBut the second time I will not dare to bear this pain even for the sake of beauty.
