By the age of 50+ in women, estrogen production is greatly reduced, which affects the condition of the skin. Facial rejuvenation after 50 years without surgery is possible with the help of methods of cosmetology and competent home care.
Skin care after 50 at home
Plastic surgery works wonders, but not all women can afford the operation. But competent skincare at home is available to everyone. The main thing is that it is regular and complete.
Daily Care Plan:
- cleaning;
- Toning;
- Moisturizing, nourishing;
- UV protection.
2 times a week it is worth doing nourishing masks, as well as connecting self-massage and superficial peeling for the face.
Cosmetics
The skincare cosmetics set for women 50 and older is the same as in previous years. But the composition of the funds should be different.
Need:
- Get rid of products that dry out the skin: alkaline foams for washing, lotions containing alcohol;
- Buy protective cosmetics to protect your skin from the negative effects of sun, wind and frost;
- Replace regular creams and tonics with anti-aging ones.
To cleanse and tone you need:
- Micellar water for removing make-up;
- Milk or cleansing cream with the right pH;
- Non-alcoholic tonic;
- Face scrub (use once every 7-14 days depending on skin type).
It is useful to wipe the face with ice cubes - it tones and refreshes the skin. It is recommended to use decoctions of chamomile, succession, linden to make ice.
For hydration and nutrition use day and night creams. Aside, you need to buy a cream for the periorbital region, but for the neck you can use the same products as for the face. It is not necessary to buy expensive cream, pharmacy brands are also suitable.
Good anti-aging creams contain:
- AHA and BHA acids;
- Vitamins (tocopherol, retinol);
- coenzymes;
- peptides;
- Hyaluronic acid;
- Collagen.
It is better to buy ready-made masks, rather than making them yourself. After 50 years, nourishing and moisturizing masks come in handy.
Self-massage
The massage will help keep you young. Ideally, it should be performed by an experienced beautician, but self-massage is not excluded.
An effective technique is the plastic massage. Provides different types of impact: kneading, stroking, vibrating. The procedure begins with superficial effects, then moves on to deep kneading.
Basic techniques of facial massage:
- Caress. Light stroking movements are performed in the direction of the lines of least stretch (massage lines);
- Kneading is superficial. It is done with four fingers (except the thumb), a movement that reminds to draw a spiral with small turns;
- Deep kneading. It is done with all five fingers and one palm, the pressure should be more intense;
- tapping. It is performed with the fingertips along all the massage lines;
- Vibration. It is performed with the lower part of the palm, the movement is directed from the center of the sternum along the collarbone to the ear and further to the temple.
Before the massage session, the face is cleaned of cosmetics and sprinkled with talcum powder. Instead of talc, some cosmetologists use cosmetic oil.
Another technique is a complex massage with spoons. For the procedure, you need to prepare two containers filled with hot and cold water, a few spoons, cosmetic oil.
The impact is given by the convex part of the spoon. Techniques of stroking, rubbing, light stroking are used. It is recommended that you use silver spoons, but you can take regular ones. Before the session, a warm oil is applied to the skin. The effect is carried out alternately with a cold and a hot spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
Gymnastics
A controversial way to rejuvenate the face without injections and operations is gymnastics for the muscles of the face. Learning to do exercises at home is not difficult, the important thing is that the lessons are regular.
There are several sets of exercises on the Internet, but the opinion of our doctors is the same - gymnastics provokes the appearance of facial wrinkles! Therefore, we do not recommend doing gymnastics, making a choice in favor of massage.
In-salon treatments for facelift without surgery
Salons offer various ways of rejuvenation after age 55 without surgery. These are traditional methods (peeling, massage, masks, skin care procedures), injection procedures (introduction of fillers, mesotherapy, biorevitalization) and hardware methods of affecting the skin.
Lifting the thread
The essence of the technique of rejuvenation of the face and neck without surgery consists in carrying out punctures of the skin and the introduction of synthetic threads that create a reinforcing frame. The effect of the procedure field lasts 2-4 years.
Lifting with threads is recommended for ptosis of the facial tissues, sagging cheeks, the formation of a double chin, changes in the contour of the face, the appearance of deep wrinkles.
For the production of threads, polymeric materials, silicone, various acids, platinum, gold are used. The diameter of the wires does not exceed the thickness of a human hair. After the introduction of the thread is not heard and is not visible to others.
Photorejuvenation
The essence of this procedure is the exposure of the skin to pulsed light. Radiation is a quantum flux provided by bursts. Various wavelengths are used. The maximum effect of the procedure appears not immediately, but after the completion of the course. Thanks to the photorejuvenation procedure, the collagen structure and the skin structure are strengthened, the face is firmed and fine wrinkles are smoothed.
Benefits of light energy:

The technique is not suitable for getting rid of all age-related changes. To eliminate deep wrinkles and improve the oval of the face, the cosmetologist combines the hardware and injection techniques.
laser resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is a procedure that can stop aging and help get rid of acne scars or other skin blemishes. The bottom line is the impact on the epidermis with a laser. The top layer of cells is evaporated, which stimulates the regeneration processes.
Grinding is one of the varieties of hardware peeling. Only a doctor with higher medical training who holds a certificate can perform the procedure.
The rehabilitation process lasts up to 4 weeks. But a pronounced result covers a long recovery after the procedure.
Thermal
Thermage is a hardware procedure based on exposure to radio frequency waves or RF radiation. It is performed using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The flow of energy destroys the old structures of the skin. As a result, new collagen and elastin fibers are formed, providing a tightening effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, décolleté and other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
Mesotherapy
Injection procedure, the essence of which is the intradermal introduction of special "cocktails". Preparations include hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, peptides, growth factors, and so on.
With the introduction of mesococktails, the following changes occur:
- The pigment spots disappear;
- Improves the complexion;
- Dryness is eliminated, wrinkles are smoothed;
- The micro relief is leveled.
Medicines are administered with very fine needles. Many microtraumas are created, which further stimulate the production of collagen and elastin and improve blood microcirculation.
Injections
When planning rejuvenation without surgery, many women choose injection procedures. In cosmetology, several drugs are used:
- Hyaluronic acid;
- mesococktel;
- botulinum toxins;
- Plastic contour with fillers;
- bioreparants;
- Preparations based on calcium hydroxyapatite.
Selected drugs are administered by injection. Injection needles or cannulas are used.
Ozone therapy
Face and neck rejuvenation is carried out by introducing special oxygen-ozone cocktails. After the procedure, the face acquires a fresh look, small wrinkles, acne marks disappear. The technique stimulates the production of collagen.
Fractional laser rejuvenation after 50 years as an alternative to plastic
Fractional laser rejuvenation is also called:
- fractional photothermolysis;
- Fractional peeling;
- Laser nanoperforation.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible using the fractional laser exposure technique. In terms of the effectiveness of a facelift, the procedure can be compared to using stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
It is necessary to carry out the procedure in a cosmetology clinic that has the appropriate certificates. Non-specialist use of the laser can cause burns and other adverse effects.
Advantages of the method
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of facial rejuvenation without surgery, which has many advantages:
- No severe pain
- Noticeable effect even after a procedure;
- No negative side effects;
- Short recovery period.
An important plus is an affordable price with pronounced efficiency. The procedure solves several aesthetic problems at the same time: smoothes wrinkles, tightens, eliminates post-acne scars.
Indications and contraindications
It is recommended to use fractional laser exposure in the presence of the following cosmetic defects:
- Photo and chrono-aging;
- Superficial and deep wrinkles;
- Sagging skin, loss of a clear oval of the face
- Scars, scars;
- vascular asterisks;
- enlarged pores;
- Blackheads.
But there are also contraindications. They need to be taken into account, because by the age of fifty, not everyone has iron health. It is forbidden to perform laser rejuvenation in such circumstances:
- inflamed areas on the face;
- skin infections;
- psoriasis, eczema;
- Malignant neoplasms of any localization;
- heart disease;
- Epilepsy;
- state of immunodeficiency;
- neurological disorders;
- Diabetes;
- Autoimmune Diseases.
The patient should warn the cosmetologist of the presence of any chronic diseases. The specialist on the basis of this decides which technique can be used.
The essence of the procedure
The technique consists in the impact of a laser beam on the deep layers of the skin. In the affected areas, the cells are "burned", which stimulates the regeneration process, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women over the age of 50 are recommended to use a non-ablative method of exposure. Its difference is that there is no rehabilitation process. This allows even deep wrinkles to be smoothed out without a rehabilitation period.
Effect
During the first few days after exposure, the skin will be inflamed.
You can see:
- In the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- In the first 1-2 days - redness;
- On day 2-3 - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month your skin will be particularly sensitive to sunlight, so you need to apply a sunscreen with SPF before going out.
After the peeling stops, the effect of the procedure will become noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin is taut, the face looks fresh. But in order to achieve a pronounced result, it is necessary to undergo a course of procedures. Their number is determined individually.
What methods are ineffective at this age
Assistance in choosing the appropriate rejuvenation method will be provided by a professional cosmetologist.
After 50 years, it will not be possible to achieve a good effect using:
- light fruit peels;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL Facial Rejuvenation.
These procedures are good for young women. After fifty and over sixty years, combined techniques are needed that give a pronounced lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.
Reviews of rejuvenation without surgery
Reviews about facelift techniques are mixed - there are many positive opinions, but there are also those who did not like the procedure.
- "With age, pronounced wrinkles and age spots appeared. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use non-surgical methods. The beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am satisfied with the procedure, l 'I did without severe pain and bruising. Already on the 6th day, the face looked decent, although it was more rosy than usual. I can say that there is a result: the eyelids have tightened, the wrinkles have become smaller, the little pigment spots have disappeared, but the big ones have only turned pale. I'll repeat the process later. "
- "I'm afraid of having plastic surgery, so I took care of my skin very carefully. But after I was 50, my face" collapsed ", there were cheeks, a second chin, a web of wrinkles. I opted for fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it was very painful for me, tears were running down my eyes, I could not bear this execution. In the morning I got up and in the mirror I was afraid of myself, a face like that of a beaten homeless man. Somehow he survived 3 days, then got better. But he could really "hang out with people" only after 2 weeks. The eye wrinkles disappeared, the oval became clearer, the nose creases- lips have become shallower. The effect is not bad, but the second time around I won't dare to endure this pain even for the sake of beauty.
