"How to smooth wrinkles?" - a question that is brewing in women who have found the first signs of skin aging on their faces. Turning to a plastic surgeon is not always affordable, and not entirely safe. Anti-wrinkle creams are not always and not all effective.

Pharmacy "beauticians"

Adapalene
Cream "Adapalen" against wrinkles, the price of which varies from 250 to 350 rubles (in each pharmacy in different ways). A drug has been developed for the treatment of acne, since it contains substances that protect against microbes, inflammation and redness.

To eliminate, you should use healing ointments, and nothing more. During the course of rejuvenation "Adapalen" you can not linger in the sun and use cosmetics containing alcohol.
Actions should be expected after 2-3 months. Anti-wrinkle cream "Adapalene", the price of which is low, has several even cheaper analogues based on the substance adapalene.

The main function of "Solcoseryl" is the healing of dermaldamage: wounds, cuts, abrasions, etc. It restores damaged cells of the epidermis. How does Solcoseryl get rid of wrinkles?

Such gymnastics helps to strengthen the muscles of the upper and lower eyelids, reduces crow's feet and longitudinal wrinkles under the eyes, and increases the tone of the upper eyelids.
Here are a few exercises for the eye area that shows age-related changes first:

- Open your eyes wide, bulge your eyeballs, as if pushing forward. Hold for 2 seconds and close your eyes. Run 15 times.
- Put index fingers along the lower eyelid, pressing them to the edge of the orbital cavity. Raise your eyes to the ceiling and hold for 40 seconds. 3 reps.
Traditional medicine
Alternative medicine does not stand aside in the question of how to smooth out wrinkles. Her methods are all safe (if there is no allergy) and even beneficial for the skin of the face.
From traditional medicine, the most optimal means of rejuvenation are masks and compresses based on natural ingredients. The best are:
- honey;
- egg yolk;
- olive and apricot oils;
- aloe juice;
- spinach;
- cinnamon;
- non-sour fruits and vegetables (bananas, peaches, cucumbers);

- raw potatoes.
All these ingredients in the composition of masks or in a single mushy state nourish and moisturize the skin, make it more dense, toned and elastic, remove dark circles under the eyes.
Wrinkle smoothing massage
Anti-aging facial massage is not only a pleasant procedure, but also a regular one. It is its daily conduct that promises the expected result - smoothing wrinkles.
The method has absolutely no contraindications, and you can do it both in the salon and on your own at home, taking only 5-10 minutes a day.
Before doing a massage, you need to prepare your face: wash, clean from the stratum corneum. It is better to carry out massaging movements simultaneously with the application of the cream. So the effect will be double.
As numerous reviews say, massage can be done as elementary, that is, simple light movements, stroking and patting. Or you can learn how to do Japanese acupuncture, which is done by points and lines.
Also, the effectiveness of the ice has anti-wrinkle. You just need to take an ice cube and draw it along the massage lines starting from the neck and moving towards the forehead.
Salon methods
Salon rejuvenation procedures are especially popular with women, as they have a quick and visible effect. Salon methods are surgical, injection and hardware.
Injectablemethods are:
- Botox, the introduction of which leads to relaxation of the circumocular circular muscle and, as a result, the smoothness of the dermis.
- Mesotherapy is the introduction of tiny doses of a drug containing vitamins, collagen and hyaluronic acid under the epidermis with microneedles. This drug acts specifically on areas of skin with wrinkles, smoothing them.
- Fractional mesotherapy - numerous punctures with the introduction of special substances under the skin. Punctures are completely invisible, and there are many points of influence, which speeds up the result.
- Contour plastic - the introduction of fillers - preparations based on hyaluronic acid. Getting under the skin, they fill its "voids", smoothing out irregularities. Such sessions are assigned to women over the age of 50.
- Biorevitalization is the same as mesotherapy, with a difference in the composition of the preparations.
Hardware methods involve microdamaging the skin in order to start cell regeneration and activation of young cells. After hardware methods, rehabilitation is required for several days, as redness appears on the skin.
Hardware methods include:
- Chemical peeling - superficial effect on the skin with acids (a sparing composition is used for the skin around the eyes). After peeling, a burn forms on the skin, after which the skin begins to actively recover with the formation of new cells.
- Myostimulation - exposure to the skin with current, as a result of which the muscles of the face contract, starting metabolic processes.
- Photorejuvenation - rejuvenation with light. In the eye area, this procedure is notcarried out, because the area of the skin there is tender. But the procedure acts in a wide range and wrinkles in the eye area are smoothed out.
- Laser rejuvenation - the effect on the upper layer of the skin with a grid of laser beams of microscopic thickness. Activates collagen production.
Plastic surgery
In more difficult situations, women resort to plastic surgery:
- Lifting - facelift from wrinkles and flabbiness by tightening the skin.
- Blepharoplasty is a surgical method. This is an operation to change the shape of the eyes and the shape of the eyelids. This method of rejuvenation is prescribed for women after 45 years, when the skin in the eye area becomes sagging. Excision of its excess significantly changes the situation, making the skin smooth and the woman's appearance more youthful.
- "Golden threads" - a procedure for introducing a thin golden thread under the skin, which is "accompanied" by a polyglycol thread. The introduction of such a thread provokes the production of natural collagen, which creates a dense frame and skin tightening.
- Lipofilling - surgical correction of cosmetic defects by introducing the patient's fat cells. This allows you to shape the contour of the face, fill in the creases in the area of the bridge of the nose, corners of the mouth and under the eyes, smooth out wrinkles between the eyebrows, and correct retracted scars.
