Anti-aging facial procedures after 30-35 years: what to expect from them?

For every woman, no matter how good her genetics are, sooner or later there will come a moment when she looks in the mirror and realizes that wrinkles and swelling have appeared, and there is no trace of elasticity. You can, of course, be sad and decide to leave everything as it is, but modern cosmetology has provided so many ways to improve the condition of the epidermis that it is simply stupid not to use them. Some people stop at choosing the right skincare products, but the best effect is provided by anti-aging facial treatments after 35 years.

How skin changes after 30

Facial skin rejuvenation after 30 years involves a whole range of effective measures to preserve youth. At this age, it is very important to take care of your skin so that it looks fresh and beautiful even at 40 years old. After all, it is after the thirty-year mark that the first signs of withering begin to appear. And you can’t get rid of this with creams alone.

We can talk about the influence of age in cases where:

• the skin loses elasticity and sagging appears. This occurs due to a slowdown in the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers in cells;
• dehydration of the epidermis begins, dryness and flaking appear; the complexion becomes dull and its contour becomes unclear;
• facial wrinkles form around the eyes, mouth and in the area of ​​nasolabial folds;
• in the morning bags and dark circles appear under the eyes;
• Freckles and age spots appear.

Age-related changes can appear at 31 and 40 years of age. It happens that the signs of aging are invisible for a long time. But this is not a reason to relax, because in such cases the skin fades suddenly and severely. In any case, with the right approach, the aging process can be delayed.

Skin care after 30-35 consists of medical cosmetology techniques in combination with home procedures. Olga Khusid, chief physician and anti-age therapist of the ANACOSMA clinic, focuses on the importance of caring not only for the face, but also for the skin of the neck and décolleté. Women often forget about these areas, which leads to unpleasant consequences. The skin on the neck and décolleté is thinner and not as elastic as on the face. Regularly being in contact with clothing, it ages faster and shows age.

Skin care at different ages

We change with age in everything: externally, intellectually, emotionally. And our skin also changes with each age, requiring a completely different approach to self-care. This also applies to creams - it’s not for nothing that they are marked by age, and to cosmetic procedures. A good cosmetologist himself will warn that some procedures should not be done at the age of 20, and some are already useless at 50. With the help of cosmetologist-dermatologist of the Euromed clinic Svetlana Mikhailovna Alexandrova, we figure out at what age which cosmetological procedures are most effective.

Up to 25 years

At this wonderful age, the skin is still fresh and young. If there are no specific problems (acne, post-acne, rosacea, etc.), caring for young skin is quite simple. All your actions now, in fact, should be aimed at maximizing the preservation of the existing skin condition and preventing age-related changes.

The main thing at a young age: proper cleansing, moisturizing and sun protection.

It is important to cleanse the skin daily: morning and evening, using non-aggressive detergents. Once a week, you can perform more intensive cleansing (peeling, gommage) and make an active cleansing or moisturizing mask according to your skin type.

If you have skin problems, it is better to solve them as quickly as possible - this way you will not allow complications to develop.

If you are suffering from acne, consult a cosmetologist or dermatologist - the doctor will select a treatment, perform cleansing and recommend anti-inflammatory, cleansing, and drying agents.

If you have post-acne, a cosmetologist will help remove marks from the skin by conducting a series of peels or performing laser resurfacing.

From 25 to 35 years

Let’s make a reservation right away that this age period is called very arbitrarily. There is no clear boundary, and for some, the first signs of age-related skin changes appear earlier, for others later. But around this period, our skin begins to need more serious care and some effort is already required to maintain its radiant appearance.

After 25 years, the level of skin moisture decreases, the barrier functions of the epidermis deteriorate, skin turgor and elasticity decrease, and the ability for physiological recovery decreases. The skin becomes more sensitive to stressful moments - if at the age of 18 you could not wash off your makeup, spend the night in a smoky room, and the next morning you were fresh and beautiful, then after 30 years all the night vigils and the lack of regular care are already visible to the naked eye.

At this age, the skin needs nutrition, hydration and skin stimulation programs, such as mesotherapy and biorevitalization. Mesotherapy with multivitamin cocktails, microelements and hyaluronic acid truly works wonders. These microinjections effectively restore the skin's moisture balance and increase its elasticity. Thanks to the procedure, problems associated with excessive oily skin are solved, the condition of small blood vessels is improved, and atonic, flaccid skin is tightened. Biorevitalization is an injection technique that allows you to restore tone, elasticity and color of the skin. Thanks to this procedure, complexion improves, wrinkles decrease, age spots and spider veins disappear. The essence of the procedure is that low molecular weight hyaluronic acid is introduced, which stimulates self-healing of the skin. The drug forms an elastic mesh in the skin, which attracts moisture and promotes the formation of its own hyaluronic acid.

Professional care programs will help support the results of biorevitalization: moisturizing, lightening, nutrition, lifting, rejuvenation, treatment of problem skin.

Also, after 25 years, the first wrinkles usually appear - in the forehead, bridge of the nose, around the eyes and lips. As you know, the best way to combat and prevent wrinkles on the face is botulinum toxin injections. The essence of the drug’s action is that it blocks excessive activity of the facial muscles (while normal facial expressions are preserved), and the skin stops constantly breaking in the same places and can recover. Unfortunately, this method will not help with deep wrinkles - therefore, it is recommended to start injections at the very first appearance of wrinkles.

A separate category of procedures that it makes sense to start at this age are hardware ones. Hardware cosmetology is modern progressive methods and procedures. In combination, they not only improve the appearance of the skin, but also stimulate blood circulation, enhance lymphatic drainage, and improve cell nutrition. Microcurrents, ultrasonic cleansing, phonophoresis, myostimulation, d'arsonval are well-known procedures that help reduce swelling under the eyes, strengthen the muscular frame of the face, improve blood supply and lymphatic drainage, increase metabolism, and prevent the development of wrinkles.

In essence, with proper skin care and a harmonious lifestyle, at 35 you can look the same as you did at 20-25. The first signs of aging, which so easily mark a woman over 30, may not appear on your face for a very, very long time.

After 35 years

35 years is such a conditional watershed; it is this age among experts that is considered to be the beginning of the appearance of the first true signs of age: pronounced wrinkles, changes in the oval of the face (gravitational changes), a persistent decrease in skin elasticity, a decrease in the natural ability to retain moisture and produce collagen.

If you were actively taking care of yourself before this age, then the first signs of aging will appear much later. If earlier it seemed to you that “everything is fine as it is,” then now there is nowhere else to put it off - urgently start working on yourself!

The most important thing that affects our appearance is our lifestyle.

In order to look good, it is important to get enough sleep, be less nervous, eat a balanced healthy diet with a sufficient content of vitamins, microelements, fiber, fats (yes, strange as it may sound, but for good skin condition you need to consume at least 15 g of fats per day) . Be sure to take vitamins, omega-3, omega-6 (polyunsaturated fatty acids). Stop smoking (if you still smoke) - now every cigarette provokes wrinkles and folds around the mouth and thinning and dry skin.

Cosmetic procedures at this age include programs of deep hydration, nutrition, active mineralization, face and body lifting, as well as anti-stress therapy and relaxation.

After 35 years, it makes sense to actively and regularly visit a cosmetologist and apply programs aimed at combating age-related changes: chemical peels, injection techniques, the use of fillers and contouring, installation of mesothreads, as well as hardware and laser procedures. All this must be combined with regular competent home care, which your cosmetologist will help you choose.

The most popular procedures aimed at restoring youthful skin

Fractional photothermolysis

This laser procedure is the most modern word in rejuvenation.

It can be performed on any area of ​​the face (including the eyes and lips) and body, with any skin color and is effective at any age. The laser allows you to renew the entire collagen-elastin framework of the skin. As a result of exposure to a fractional laser, a large number of so-called treatment zones are formed in the skin, in which new young tissue is rapidly formed, and cells located near the treatment zones are also involved in this process and are actively renewed. Thus, skin remodeling processes occur both in the superficial and deepest layers, which makes it possible to rejuvenate the skin to its entire thickness. The skin texture is evened out, it acquires a smooth and even appearance, and the newly formed collagen-elastin framework gives the skin density and elasticity.

During the procedure, the skin is dehydrated, so in order to get a pronounced rejuvenation effect, it is important to properly prepare for the procedure and help the skin recover after: nourish and moisturize as much as possible using injections (biorevitalization, mesotherapy).

Laser procedures are recommended to be performed in the autumn-winter period, when the sun is least active, since after fractional photothermolysis the sensitivity of the skin to ultraviolet radiation increases.

RF lifting

RF lifting (radio lifting) is based on high frequency currents, which ensure uniform heating of the skin layers without affecting the epidermis. RF lifting involves uniform heating of the layers of the dermis and subcutaneous fat. Due to this, all processes occurring in the skin are stimulated, and most importantly, the active production of collagen and elastin begins. As a result of the procedure, the oval of the face becomes much clearer, the entire lower third of the face is tightened, and nasolabial folds disappear. RF lifting also works very effectively in the area around the eyes: it removes puffiness and fine wrinkles. The procedure is performed on both the face and body. When carrying out an RF body lifting procedure, it is very good to combine it with LPG massage. The latter relieves swelling after radiolifting, improves metabolic processes, promotes lymphatic drainage and gets rid of cellulite and excess weight.

Subcutaneous injection of threads made of suture material (mesothreads)

Implantation of threads made from polydioxanone suture material is a minimally invasive rejuvenation technique. The cosmetologist inserts a special flexible needle with thread at the level of zones of maximum mobility of the face and stretch lines of the skin, subcutaneously at the level of fatty tissue, the latter remains in the tissue. Enhanced collagen production begins around the thread, which leads to the creation of a new skin framework and provides a lifting effect, eliminates ptosis (sagging tissue) of the face and body and eliminates fine wrinkles. Mesothreads essentially allow you to create a frame that will not allow the oval to blur, sagging cheeks, eyelids, chin, etc.

“Soft” methods of medical rejuvenation

Biorevitalization is the injection of hyaluronic acid into problem areas of the face (nasolabial folds, corners of the eyes, lips, etc.). Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is part of connective tissue, attracts and retains water molecules. It fills the skin with moisture, making it elastic and smoothing the contour of the face.

Mesotherapy is the saturation of the skin with vitamins, microelements and beneficial substances through injections. Used in women over the age of 30, the composition of the solution includes vitamins with antioxidants that maintain the youth and elasticity of the epidermis. Plant extracts, biostimulants, and amino acids are also used. The procedure stimulates cell renewal, collagen production, and improves local blood supply.

Xeomin injections are facial contouring, which is carried out by injecting botulinum toxin type A under the skin. This is the latest generation drug developed by the German company. It effectively smooths out wrinkles and, unlike Dysport and Botox, preserves natural facial expressions, is non-addictive and absolutely safe.

Laser rejuvenation (Derma Genesis) is a painless face lift with a laser beam. The procedure is carried out using the CUTERA device, thanks to which it is possible to eliminate wrinkles on the face, neck and décolleté, get rid of rosacea, and restore smoothness, elasticity and radiance to the skin.

Blanching with Belotero is a modern injection technique for smoothing wrinkles. Its peculiarity is that even wrinkles in previously “resistant” areas, such as cheeks, around the mouth, forehead, neck, etc., are filled.

Comparison table of methods

The listed procedures for the face after 30-35 are combined with each other and can be used in comprehensive care. The doctor selects the best rejuvenation options and draws up a course taking into account the client’s characteristics (initial skin condition, health status, desired result, etc.).

How to maintain the rejuvenation effect longer

Home skin care will help preserve the results of rejuvenation techniques. It consists of three directions:

1. The use of professional cosmetics, such as tonics, creams, lotions, scrubs, etc. When choosing care cosmetics, consult a cosmetologist.
2. Using homemade masks. Berries are rich in vitamins and nutrients that nourish the skin and maintain youth. Green leafy vegetables contain the antioxidant lutein, which slows down the aging process. Cucumber masks saturate cells with moisture, making the skin fresh and elastic. Boiled potatoes will help get rid of wrinkles. Fermented milk products are very useful. They are filled with beneficial bacteria and calcium, which eliminates signs of wilting. Honey is an excellent anti-aging remedy. It saturates the skin with vitamins, enzymes, organic acids, and also stimulates blood circulation and cell regeneration. Various medicinal herbs soften and heal the skin. They can be used to make warm compresses for the face.
3. Massages and exercises for face lifting. For example, breathing exercises can help tone your facial muscles. Take a deep breath and puff out your cheeks. Lips need to be pressed tightly. For 5 seconds, press your palms on your cheeks without releasing air from your mouth. Repeat the exercise 5 to 10 times. A mouth exercise will help tighten your cheeks and improve the shape of your face. Form your lips into an “O” shape and press your fingers to your temples, stretching the skin. Tighten your cheek muscles as much as possible, wait 5 seconds and relax. Perform the exercise 10-15 times. Wipe fading skin with ice cubes. This contrast massage refreshes the face, improves color and restores color.

In addition to home care, it is important to use decorative cosmetics carefully. Use only quality products. And be sure to remove your makeup before going to bed so that your pores don’t get clogged and your skin can breathe.

At a young age, there is no urgent need to resort to radical rejuvenation. But proper care will slow down and delay the process of skin aging. There are preparations designed specifically for young skin with shallow wrinkles (soft, light). At the same time, you should not resort to injections because of fashion trends or on the advice of friends. Contact experienced cosmetologists who will tell you which cosmetic procedures and techniques are right for you.

What is aging and what types are there?

Technological progress has greatly advanced over the past decades and a modern 50-year-old woman can easily look 30 years old with proper care. However, people are not yet able to completely overcome the aging process. Fortunately, there are many rejuvenation procedures
that will delay the appearance of wrinkles and remove sagging skin, delaying old age. Aging of all living organisms is a biological and physiological process that manifests itself in the degradation of all parts of the body, organs and body systems. Aging affects not only external changes, but also internal ones. Memory, coordination of movements, strength, and mental abilities deteriorate.

In this article we will look at the main types of aging, what causes them and what effective procedures can be used to look younger. To understand which technique is suitable for a particular woman, you need to understand what morphotypes

there are.
