In modern cosmetology, numerous procedures for facial skin are popular. It is salon technology that allows us to receive effective and, no less important, safe services. Experienced professionals with appropriate education work in clinics and studios, so mistakes and traumatic situations are excluded. Moreover, such establishments have expensive and highly efficient equipment that is not suitable for home use. All these points make salons popular among the fair sex, regardless of age.

Types and effects of cosmetic procedures for facial skin

A modern high-level salon has the latest products and devices that allow you to care and restore your facial skin. First, the cosmetologist determines which procedures are necessary for you, and then specialists begin to perform them. List of main services:

• skin regeneration;
• hydrogenation and fortification;
• elimination of age-related skin problems;
• whitening;
• restoration of natural skin tone;
• elimination of inflammation;
• smoothing wrinkles;
• restoration of turgor.

Salon cosmetology procedures for facial skin are divided into four categories:

1. Hardware cosmetology. To perform this type of manipulation, specialists use professional hardware equipment. These devices cope well with complex deep problems, eliminating the need for serious and painful operations.
2. Laser cosmetology. Here the procedure is based on laser exposure. The device properly affects the skin tissue, eliminating problems. The laser is an outgoing directional light, so the device can be considered completely safe. A trained specialist must be able to change the intensity of exposure, so burns and skin lesions are excluded.
3. Medical cosmetology of face and body. This type is used for medical problems (alopecia, hyperhidrosis, neoplasms, scars, cellulite, etc.). Medical cosmetology is a complex of hardware, laser and aesthetic types of manipulation.
4. Aesthetic cosmetology. Procedures for facial skin of this type eliminate imperfections that cause complexes and self-doubt in girls. For example, age-related skin changes, acne, moles, imperfections in the shape of lips or eyebrows, body hair, etc.

Among women, services aimed at combating age-related deficiencies are very popular. For most clients, it is important that the effect on the skin occurs without surgical intervention.

Contraindications and age restrictions

Cosmetology procedures are not recommended for patients under 18 years of age. But there are exceptions, and if necessary, some procedures are prescribed even to adolescents in combination for the treatment of acne.

Contraindications for facial cleansing and peeling include:

• infectious diseases in the acute stage;
• open wounds, scratches on the skin;
• malignant formations;
• psoriasis;
• eczema.

Injection cosmetic procedures are contraindicated for:

• pregnancy and lactation;
• diabetes mellitus;
• oncology;
• blood diseases;

Hardware procedures for facial skin

This type of service is in great demand because the effect is achieved quickly and the effect is absolutely painless. A cosmetologist will determine which manipulation is right for you. He will take into account factors such as your age, skin type, its characteristics, body health, etc. Among cosmetologists, hardware effects are most valued.

Electric currents

The modern salon has special devices that operate on the basis of electric current. With their help, procedures are carried out to improve and rejuvenate facial skin. Specialists can perform:

Darsonvalization. This is the effect of alternating electric current on the skin. The procedure can be combined with other types of manipulations, for example, facial cleansing. As a result of the session, there is a significant improvement in blood circulation and lymph flow, elimination of excess fluid and metabolic products, relaxation of the main muscles, activation of intracellular metabolism, and increased skin tone.

Galvanotherapy. In this case, skin problems are solved using galvanic current. Along the way, the doctor uses various cosmetics. The result of the session is improvement of cellular nutrition, activation of the sebaceous glands. Thanks to this effect, the necessary elements of cosmetic compositions can penetrate into the deep layers of the skin. Popular non-injection mesotherapy is performed using galvanic current.

Cryoelectrophoresis. This type of facial skin procedure is a combination of electrophoresis and cryotherapy. The cosmetologist injects frozen medicinal compounds deep into the skin. This can be done using low-frequency electric current. As a result of the session, the client receives smoothing of wrinkles, solving the problem of rashes, improving the functioning of the sebaceous glands, and eliminating fatty layers inside the skin. Your face acquires a healthy tone, good elasticity and firmness.

Hardware peeling

Modern cosmetology includes several types of hardware peeling. This method of influence is one of the most popular among girls.

Ultrasonic peeling (facial cleansing). Ultrasound allows you to thoroughly clean the upper layers of the skin. Dead particles of the dermis are removed, the problem of acne is eliminated, and fatty stagnation of the skin is removed. This type of impact significantly improves the appearance of the face. Muscle tone increases, the skin becomes soft and pleasant to the touch. Unfortunately, such procedures are not able to relieve you of severe age-related changes, nor eliminate deep contamination of the dermis.

Vacuum peeling. This option refers to soft types of impact. The specialist uses a special device that is capable of creating negative pressure. This gives the following results: cleansing the face of excess fat, removing comedones and dead cells. The skin becomes more elastic and firm. The face looks fresh and takes on a healthy tone.

Brossage (brush peeling). During this skin procedure, the specialist uses special brushes with rotating bristles made from natural materials. The surface of the face is smoothed, while cellular metabolism and blood circulation are activated. Brossage is also popular for preparing the skin before other treatments.

Microdermabrasion. This is one of the most complex types of hardware influence. The specialist uses a cosmetic device that throws aluminum crystals onto the face. After contact with them, the skin becomes smoother, wrinkles and scars are smoothed out. The leveling of the dermis occurs due to the erasing of its upper coarsened layers. The face looks much younger.

Other hardware procedures

There are several more procedures for facial skin rejuvenation, which are based on hardware effects:

Photorejuvenation. In this case, the upper layers of the dermis are in contact with a strong stream of directed light. As a result, small wrinkles are smoothed out, pores are narrowed, and the skin acquires tone and softness. The procedure also successfully deals with spider veins and age spots, returning a healthy complexion to the face.

Cryotherapy. Such manipulations are possible only in modern beauty salons. The essence of the effect is cooling the skin with liquid nitrogen. This allows you to achieve different effects: facial rejuvenation, restoration of the epidermis after rough procedures (peeling, laser resurfacing, etc.). Cryotherapy eliminates any pain during and after the session.

The only contraindication is rosacea. The technique removes skin irritation and swelling, improves blood flow, and regenerates cellular immunity. Your face looks fresh, the dermis acquires a healthy, uniform shade, pigment spots and other color irregularities disappear.

Indications

Treatments are indicated for skin changes such as:

• acne or blackheads
  - the formation of blackheads in the pores due to excessive work of the sebaceous glands;
• rosacea
  - redness of the skin due to dilation of small superficial vessels;
• acne
  - inflammatory formations on the skin due to inflammation of the follicles;
• problematic skin
  - a complex of diseases that affect the appearance of the skin;
• enlarged pores
  - an increase in the diameter of the depressions that spoil the appearance of the skin;

  - the appearance of dry scales of dead epidermis on the skin;

  - folds on the skin due to increased activity of facial muscles;
• loose and aging skin
  - age-related changes in which the skin loses its tone, elasticity and firmness;
• other cosmetic defects.

Laser treatments for facial skin

In general, all techniques using lasers can be classified as hardware cosmetology. But professionals consider this therapy to be a separate type, since it is high-tech and has its own nuances. What laser services can the salon offer?

1. SMOOTH-rejuvenation. Many girls are familiar with this procedure thanks to its second name - laser express rejuvenation. The manipulation is completely safe and painless. The whole procedure consists of smooth, uniform heating of the facial skin with a laser device. The effects of such a session are reduction of dark circles under the eyes, reduction of facial swelling, smoothing of wrinkles, reduction of pores. This procedure can be used to even out complexion.
2. Neodymium rejuvenation (deep laser rejuvenation, FT laser lifting). This technique gives a very quick skin tightening effect. Moreover, after the session you will not need to undergo a rehabilitation period. Other results from the procedure are getting rid of spider veins and evening out complexion. The technology eliminates any pain during and after the session.
3. Erbium rejuvenation. The essence of this technique is the removal of the upper layers of the dermis, due to which you can achieve results such as reduction of wrinkles, reduction of scars, healthier skin, restoration of a healthy complexion, regeneration of normal blood flow, as well as a cleansing effect. The procedure is completely safe. Even the areas around the eyes can be affected.
4. Fractional rejuvenation. The essence of the technology is that directed laser light is divided into several thin beams, which together form a kind of grating. This is how the epidermis is affected. The procedure is effective for tightening facial skin, reducing wrinkles, pigmentation, and eliminating the effects of acne.
5. Laser peeling. This therapy belongs to the anti-aging group. There are several types of laser effects: deep, on the middle layers of the skin and on the surface of the epidermis. If you are interested in getting rid of small blemishes, as well as removing fine wrinkles, you can choose cold superficial peeling. To solve more serious problems you will need deep impact. Laser is not a gentle method, so after the session it is necessary to carefully care for the skin.

Most professionals agree that laser procedures are the best option for minimally invasive epidermal rejuvenation. Numerous techniques can cope with problems of absolutely any level of complexity.

Hardware cosmetology

In hardware cosmetology, various devices are used to carry out cleansing and rejuvenating procedures. Some of the popular procedures are ultrasound facial cleansing, phonophoresis, lymphatic drainage, magnetic therapy, dermotony, biomechanical facial stimulation, microdermabrasion.

The advantages of hardware cosmetology are high efficiency, ease of influence and quick results. In addition, almost all hardware methods are painless, non-traumatic and combine well with other cosmetic methods, increasing their effectiveness. Hardware cosmetology is used at any age, and the positive effect of the impact will last for a long time. Whether classical or ultrasonic facial cleansing is better for you can be determined not by a friend or a neighbor, but only by an experienced specialist during a consultation.

Aesthetic cosmetology for facial skin

The methods we describe can improve the aesthetic component of facial beauty. However, for this purpose, professionals recommend special technologies:

• Mechanical facial cleansing.

This is an effective skin cleansing procedure that does a good job of removing impurities. As a result, the face acquires a pleasant, healthy shade. All manipulations are performed by the specialist himself. In addition, he can use additional tools. Professionals recommend using this procedure more often if you have heavily contaminated pores. If there is no such problem, one or two sessions per year are enough. In general, this technique is painless, but redness remains for some time after it.

• Peels.

Chemical peeling is an effective rejuvenation technique that is in great demand among girls. The specialist applies special chemical compounds (mostly acids) to your dermis, which clean out tissue cells. The result is smooth and clean skin, elimination of wrinkles and the effects of acne, evenness of complexion. The advantage of this service is that for a visible effect you only need one session. To maintain the results, repeat the procedure once or twice a month.

Types of peelings:

• Surface. Here, chemical compounds come into contact only with the outer layers of the dermis. Acids thoroughly cleanse the face, leaving the skin open to the effects of nutrients. The procedure is suitable for moisturizing the dermis in a salon setting. This peeling will not solve serious skin problems.
• Median. In this case, beneficial substances reach the middle layers of the epidermis, including the capillary dermis. The active elements do an excellent job of removing dead skin cells, smoothing out wrinkles, stretch marks, and creases. It is recommended to resort to the procedure in the cold season, when sun activity is minimal.
• Deep. In terms of its impact, the method is the most aggressive. It allows you to get rid of deep wrinkles associated with age-related skin changes. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.

Superficial peeling is the most gentle and painless, but deep cleansing copes with the most serious skin imperfections. If you decide to resort to aggressive influence, after the session you need to undergo additional rehabilitation (from two to seven days).

Injection types of facial skin treatments

Some of the best facial treatments involve the use of injections. Types of such manipulations:

Mesotherapy.

Due to its effectiveness and anti-aging properties, the procedure is in great demand among girls. The essence of the method is that special medicinal and cosmetic preparations are injected under the client’s skin. Among them are hyaluronic acid, which is famous for its anti-aging and lifting properties, as well as cocktails of vitamins, hormones, beneficial enzymes, herbal compounds and medicines. The cosmetologist determines the composition of the injection individually.

In general, after the session, effects such as facial rejuvenation, improved dermal tone, regeneration of skin tissue, and smoothing of wrinkles are observed. In addition, with the help of mesotherapy you can get rid of uneven skin color, rosacea and the consequences of acne. At the same time, experts believe that this type of effect is not the most effective among the anti-aging group of procedures. Mesotherapy is perfect for preventing aging, as well as maintaining the previously achieved rejuvenation effect.

Contour plastic.

Many girls are familiar with this technique thanks to fillers, which are the basis of the procedure. A special gel composition is injected under the skin, which replenishes the volume of cells in places where it is needed. The skin becomes tightened, elastic, wrinkles are smoothed out, the face takes on a young and healthy appearance. The result from a contouring session ends after 6–12 months - the injected gel dissolves and gradually reaches the surface of the skin.

Botox.

Botox is one of the most popular salon procedures for facial skin. The manipulation consists of introducing botulinum toxin into the tissue. In its free state, this substance is a poison, but for cosmetic purposes it does not have any negative effect. The product is able to relax the facial muscles, as a result of which deep wrinkles disappear, the skin becomes smooth and elastic. The procedure produces a short-term effect.

Various types of cosmetic manipulations can be performed even at a young age, if there are indications for this. An experienced specialist will help you achieve the desired result.

What else you should know about how to maintain healthy skin

• Don't forget that the foods you consume affect not only your body, but also your skin. Try to consume as little high-calorie and fatty foods as possible. Give up bad foods and habits - soda, fast food, chips, alcohol, smoking. Try to eat small meals and eat foods containing vitamins and other useful microelements.

• Do facial exercises and massage. Performing exercises helps accelerate microcirculation, and also makes the facial muscles more elastic and strong, which prevents the first signs of aging. Just a few simple exercises in the morning and evening, and you will notice how your skin tightens, its tone increases and its color improves.

Facial skin care treatments

Some types of procedures, which are also in great demand, do not involve exposure to chemicals or special devices. Here are a few of them:

• Manual massage.

Experts in the field of cosmetology say that a competent facial massage can give you excellent skin condition for many years. For the effect to last, it is necessary to repeat the procedure regularly. In general, massage improves skin nutrition and hydration, activates facial muscles, restores correct facial contours, and reduces wrinkles. First, the specialist cleans the skin, and only then proceeds to perform basic manipulations. During the massage, useful ingredients are used. The session ends with a nourishing facial mask.

Massage treatments for the skin produce a healing effect and return your face to a beautiful appearance.

There are several types of this massage:

• Classical. The dermis is affected by soft, smooth movements. As a preventive measure, such a massage will be useful for normal skin in order to maintain muscle tone and facial contours for longer.
• Plastic. The master works on the skin with his hands and also uses various tools and devices. As a result of the massage, swelling is eliminated and facial contours are highlighted. Examples of such massage are lymphatic drainage, sculpture, vacuum, cryomassage.
• Plucked. Useful for eliminating puffiness, acne, comedones, scars.
• Spot. This type of massage activates microcirculation and increases the tone of facial muscles.

• Salon masks for facial skin.

Most girls take care of their skin with face masks. Many types of them are sold in cosmetic stores: these are chemical, natural, nourishing, moisturizing and other products. Some representatives of the fair sex prefer to make restorative compositions themselves. Facial treatments in the salon using masks are in great demand. Visible results are possible after the first session.

Professional treatments in the studio can be performed once or twice a month. A cosmetology specialist will choose the composition of the mask that suits your skin and the problems present. A positive result will pleasantly surprise all the girls. At the same time, the price of the service is low.

Home treatments for facial skin care

Home treatments are very popular among beauty lovers, as they are cheaper than the salon option, but can be just as effective.

We will describe a useful home care package for girls, which is divided into three steps:

Cleansing facial skin.

To begin with, you should select your hair so that nothing interferes with the process. Now remove all makeup. Choose a makeup remover that suits your skin exactly. Also keep in mind that different products have different purposes: for the face, for the eyelids, etc. Peeling cream produces a good effect.

Cleansing before facial skin treatments can also be done using regular soap. Wash your face with warm water first to open up your pores.

Take a mild soap and gently wipe your face. Next, carefully remove the foam. After these manipulations, wash your face in cold water to tighten the pores. To maintain clear skin, perform these steps two to three times a week. The effect of facial cleansing varies depending on the type of dermis.

Dry skin will require additional moisturizing treatments. Use moisturizing lotion or milk.

For oily skin, additional moisturizing procedures are not necessary.

Any product is applied gently and carefully, from the center of the face to the outer edges.

Facial massage at home.

Self-massage at home can activate blood circulation, improve the elimination of cellular metabolic products, resume metabolism, and restore facial muscle tone. Performing it regularly will help you maintain elasticity and smoothness of your skin for a long time.

Home cosmetic massage is performed using special cosmetics. All compositions must be selected exactly for your skin type. For those with oily dermis, antiseptic powder is suitable. This product removes excess fat from the face.

For medium oily skin, a water-based gel or massage emulsion is suitable.

Massage procedures for dry dermis should be accompanied by facial treatment with a special herbal oil or emulsion. Those with normal skin type can purchase any of these products.

Nourishing and moisturizing face masks.

Face masks at home are widely used to saturate the skin with oxygen, as well as various beneficial elements. Many girls prepare the compositions themselves, using folk recipes.

Useful masks on a regular basis can significantly reduce the number of fine wrinkles, as well as rashes and acne. You choose a convenient time for a relaxing treatment. Such manipulations are much cheaper in terms of the cost of components than salon procedures.

The following mask made from natural ingredients can be used by girls with any skin type.

You will need 2 tsp. liquid honey and the same amount of ground oatmeal, 1 tsp. tea leaves All of the listed products must be combined and diluted with warm water. It should turn out to be a porridge-like mass. A facial skin care procedure will consist of applying this mask for 15–20 minutes. Next, wash thoroughly with warm water. Honey has nutritional properties, tea tones the skin, and chopped oats effectively cleanse pores.

In addition to masks, you can make your own tonic, scrub or lotion. Made from natural ingredients, these products will not be inferior to expensive store-bought options.

When making a mask yourself or buying it in a store, carefully monitor the composition. You must be sure that none of the ingredients will cause you allergies or other negative consequences. When looking for a suitable mask, consider the individual and age characteristics of your skin. It is optimal to apply the product once or twice a week.

You can also do the following facial skin treatments yourself:

• Scrubbing. Effective homemade scrubs are obtained according to folk recipes. The simplest and most widely used option for making your own is from small coffee beans. You can also cleanse your skin with berry grains (raspberries).
• Mesotherapy (micronidling). The salon procedure involves the injection of injectable compounds under the skin. At home, girls use special mesoscooters. The device is a rotating roller with needles inserted into it. To achieve a salon effect, the skin is additionally enriched with a meso-cocktail, after which the massage procedure itself begins. The needles of the roller pierce the upper layers of the epidermis, thereby allowing beneficial substances to penetrate deep into the tissue.
• Ultrasonic cleaning. To perform this skin procedure, you will need a special ultrasound machine. The result of cleansing will be the reduction of fine wrinkles, elimination of oily dermis, and improvement of complexion.
• Peeling. For self-peeling, you need to prepare a store-bought or homemade product (scrub, gommage). You can also perform a mild chemical peel using salicylic acid, fruit acid, or enzymes.

Today, girls have access to a huge selection of salon treatments, as well as numerous home care options. Every representative of the fair sex can look great!

Cleansing

• For those with a dry skin type, cleansing products such as milk or foam are perfect. The products have a gentle cleansing effect while maintaining the necessary moisture balance.

• For girls with a normal type, most cosmetic products presented in the beauty industry can be used. The main thing is to choose a product without fragrances and parabens.

• Girls with combination and oily skin types can choose gels for cleansing. The texture of these products not only removes impurities, but also regulates the secretion of the sebaceous glands.

To achieve maximum effect, I advise you to use narrowly targeted products. Universal products for makeup removal and cleansing also perform their functions, but often have less positive impact. You should choose separate products for makeup removal and cleansing. Makeup remover products are aimed at removing decorative cosmetics, regardless of type. While care products effectively cleanse the skin of impurities and are aimed at solving specific types of cosmetic imperfections.

Choosing a facial skin care procedure depending on age

All representatives of the fair sex want to have smooth, clean, toned facial skin. However, with age, achieving the ideal state of the dermis becomes more and more difficult: factors that are difficult to eliminate appear, such as bruises under the eyes, wrinkles, creases, etc.

Each age category has its own problems. To remove all blemishes, it is necessary to choose effective facial skin treatments based on the individual needs of the dermis. Experts say that the optimal age to start taking care of the health and beauty of the dermis is 20 years.

• Girls under the age of 25 should pay attention to the freshness, tone and smoothness of their face. You can limit yourself to cleansing and moisturizing procedures. Use masks and special peelings.
• Between the ages of 25 and 30, it is important to maintain healthy and youthful skin, as well as promptly eliminate problems such as dry face and fine wrinkles. Treatment options such as biorevitalization, peeling with fruit acids, mesotherapy, and massage will suit you.
• In women over 30 years of age, age-related changes are more pronounced. These are mainly wrinkles in the area of ​​active facial expression, as well as nasolabial folds. You can keep the same skincare procedures that you used before, but add corrective care in the form of Botox and fillers.
• Facial procedures for women aged 35–40 years are complemented by revitalization, more thorough peeling, laser resurfacing, fillers and mesotherapy for wrinkles, as well as anti-aging care.
• After 40 years , age-related wrinkles noticeably appear, the dermis becomes less hydrated, pigmentation begins, and facial features are less pronounced. You are recommended to contact a competent specialist who will draw up an individual program for correcting skin changes. Typically it includes all of the above procedures and is complemented by a facelift.

Nowadays, you no longer have to spend a lot of time performing complex and unpleasant procedures at home. It is much easier to seek help from real professionals - the Veronika Herba beauty and health center, equipped with effective and modern equipment.

Hydration and nutrition

Many girls believe that moisturizing is only necessary for dry skin types. I hasten to refute this opinion. Every type needs hydration. Products for saturating the epithelium with moisture have different designs - creams, serums, fluids.

When choosing the right product, you should also consider the time of use. You should choose different products for morning and evening care. They contain different components that are needed at certain times of the day.

Also consider the time of year. In winter, gusts of cold wind and severe frosts have a negative impact. As a result, dryness, chapping and flaking appear. For winter, choose nutritional products containing vitamins A and E, which are important for regeneration.

In the summer, you can give preference to lighter textures - fluids. The weightless product is quickly absorbed without leaving any excess, so when sweating on a hot day you will not feel an unpleasant “soapy” sensation on your face. Don't forget about sun protection. Use creams with an SPF filter above 10 to preserve youth and protect it from photoaging.

10 contraindications

Many representatives of the fair sex improve their appearance with the help of modern equipment, as the effect is amazing. But before you buy this or that device, you need to make sure there are no contraindications.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

1. Malignant neoplasms, since the effect of hardware techniques can stimulate cell growth and worsen the condition of patients.
2. Pregnancy period, since experts do not recommend putting the health of the developing fetus at risk. After all, radio waves lead to contractions of the uterus.
3. Breast-feeding.
4. Inflammation of the skin, exacerbation of herpes, abrasions, scratches, wounds.
5. Fungal infection in problem areas.
6. Autoimmune diseases.
7. Impaired kidney and liver function.
8. Some pathologies of the heart and blood vessels.
9. Use of pacemakers.
10. Taking certain medications.

For the first few sessions, it is better to visit a specialized salon. Since the cosmetologist will explain the principle of operation of the devices and clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the chosen technique.

Professional care

You can have clean and well-groomed facial skin only with home care. The difficulty is that the beauty market offers a huge number of self-care products, but most buyers do not know what they really need. Improper use of cosmetics also reduces the effectiveness of home care.

The article discusses in detail salon facial treatments and their effectiveness.

Several reasons can explain what is happening:

• Facial treatments are only effective if they are correctly selected for a specific skin type. For example, a product with a drying effect for an already dry skin type will only be harmful, and excessive use of a scrub will not only not get rid of unevenness on the face, but will also cause additional inflammation.
• Cosmetic brands strive to increase their sales, so they often resort to clever marketing tactics. Sometimes advertising convinces the buyer of the incredible effect of its product, which is actually unattainable without professional intervention.
• Even with the use of suitable and high-quality cosmetics, the desired effect cannot be achieved if the procedures are not carried out regularly. Daily care is the only way to get your skin in order and keep it in good condition.

Thus, it turns out that girls can spend a lot of money and time, but without knowing how to properly care for their face, they do not get results at all. This does not mean that their situation is hopeless, they just need to find the right approach to caring for themselves. This is why it is recommended to contact specialists.

Cosmetologists conduct professional consultations , during which they determine their client’s skin type and compile a list of procedures for them: salon and home, which will help make the skin beautiful and radiant. Many experts also offer to buy cosmetics from themselves, but clients need to take into account that in beauty salons, as a rule, there is a big markup on the price of products.

Treatments that can only be done in a beauty salon by a professional cosmetologist include the use of laser beams or strong facial cosmetics - using them on your own is dangerous and can cause severe harm to your own health.

Before starting such procedures with a professional cosmetologist, you must undergo a series of tests to make sure there are no allergic reactions or severe side effects.
