Each woman sooner or later thinks about her age: wrinkles appear on her face, the skin becomes sagging and loses its elasticity. All these changes spoil the mood and make women look in the mirror less and less. A separate area of medicine called cosmetology has been developing various methods for healing the body and combating the manifestations of old age for many years.
At the moment, there are a huge number of procedures that can "return youth." People who know about this are successfully rejuvenated and are engaged in their recovery in specialized cosmetology clinics.
What is cosmetology?
Cosmetology is a science that studies the aesthetic problems of the human body and ways to correct them. In other words, we can say that this industry corrects the shortcomings in appearance resulting from age-related changes and injuries. There are two main trends that are studiedcosmetology. This is a therapeutic and surgical direction. The latter solves the aesthetic problems of a person with the help of surgical intervention. Only a highly qualified specialist with a medical education can work in this area. Officially, the profession of "cosmetologist" was approved in Russia only in 2009.
The therapeutic direction, in turn, solves aesthetic problems with the help of various cosmetics (creams, lotions, tonics), massages, injections and various physical factors affecting the body (laser cosmetology, phototherapy, electric currents). The choice of one or another method of correcting deficiencies generally depends on the expected result.
What are the types of skin rejuvenation and healing
Above we examined two areas of such a science as cosmetology. It is surgical and therapeutic. Depending on the complexity of the aesthetic problem, the method of solving it is also chosen. The most complex and risky procedure is plastic cosmetology, which belongs to the surgical direction. As a rule, the operation is a forced measure when other methods of healing or rejuvenation cannot give the desired result. In turn, therapeutic cosmetology includes a huge number of different procedures aimed at correcting aesthetic skin imperfections. Consider them in more detail.
Injection plastic surgery of the face
The procedures discussed in this section, while related totherapeutic direction of cosmetology, however, they should only be performed by an experienced cosmetologist in a clinic. Surely many have heard about such a concept as fillers in cosmetology. What it is, cosmetologists know well. Fillers are substances (natural or synthetic) that an experienced specialist injects under the skin of a patient in order to smooth out wrinkles and add volume to sagging skin.
The following types of injection therapy are distinguished:
- Botulinum therapy. This procedure is a correction and prevention of mimic wrinkles. A substance is injected into the subcutaneous layer that suppresses the activity of mediators responsible for the transmission of a nerve impulse. As a result of this procedure, the muscles of the face and neck relax, which means that mimic wrinkles disappear. For injections, very well-known fillers in cosmetology are used. What it is? These are Relatox, Botox, Dysport, Lantox, Xeomin.
- Plasmolifting. The name of this procedure suggests that plasma is used to rejuvenate and improve the skin. No matter how surprising it may sound, but the composition of the liquid part of human blood is actually very useful. It contains hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin. All these components are very important for maintaining youth and beauty. For this procedure, blood plasma is taken from the patient himself, saturated with some useful elements and injected under the skin.
Hardware cosmetology
This viewincludes a huge number of various methods of rejuvenation and healing of the body, in which not cosmetic products are used, but special equipment (lasers, microcurrents, crystals, light pulses). Treatment of aesthetic defects with the help of such procedures is almost painless and very effective.
As a rule, to achieve a good result, you need to take several courses of hardware cosmetology. In various salons you can find a variety of procedures, and the better and more popular such a place, the greater the list of procedures provided there. Undoubtedly, everyone needs the best cosmetology clinic. Moscow is the city where it undoubtedly exists. What hardware methods exist?
Laser rejuvenation
This procedure involves the use of a powerful beam of light - a laser that penetrates the layers of the dermis and does not damage it. Laser cosmetology helps to improve the condition and structure of the skin, eliminate age spots, improve blood circulation, increase firmness and elasticity. There are two main procedures in which the laser is used. This is laser skin resurfacing and fractional laser cosmetology. The prices for these types of rejuvenation are almost the same (about 15,000 rubles for one zone), and only the method of exposure to the light flux differs (in the form of a spot or in the form of a grid).
Microcurrents for face and body
To carry out this method of rejuvenation, cosmetologists use microcurrents. This procedure has found wide application both in Russia and abroad.border. Microcurrent treatment is offered by almost any cosmetology clinic. Moscow is the city where every beauty salon has such a method of rejuvenation and healing of the body. The advantage of this procedure is its ability to act on muscle fibers. An electric shock causes the vessels to contract for a fraction of a second, stopping the flow of lymph and blood. This process can be safely called micromassage. Microcurrents allow you to restore muscle tone and reduce the depth of wrinkles. The cost of one procedure is about 2000 rubles.
Thermage
Typically, this procedure is applied around the eyes, on the eyelids, on the face, on the arms and on the abdomen. Thermage is a so-called alternative method of plastic surgery. Cosmetologists and patients who have already undergone rejuvenation in this way claim that the difference between it and plastic surgery is practically not noticeable.
This treatment is a patented technique that works by heating the deep layers of the skin. Since the collagen contained in the cells stretches over time, resulting in saggy skin, heating these fibers allows them to tighten and tighten again. In order not to burn the upper layers of the dermis, a special nozzle is attached to the equipment, it sprays a coolant onto the epidermis. The Thermage procedure is expensive, as is plastic cosmetology. Prices for this method of rejuvenation range from 100 to 200 thousand rubles and are due to the fact that the equipment itselffor this type of lifting is very expensive.
Rejuvenation with ozone
Ozone therapy is quite a popular method. This procedure allows you to saturate the skin with useful substances, speed up metabolism, remove toxins and toxins, remove fine wrinkles and lighten age spots. Ozone therapy is carried out both in the form of injections and in the form of an ozone cocktail, which is rubbed on the surface of the skin. There are also cosmetic ointments for the face that can reduce wrinkles, however, compared to injections, the result from them is less long-lasting.
Cosmetologist courses
One of the most popular professions in the modern world is medical cosmetology. Courses, which are held in various schools of cosmetology, allow you to master this profession and become a qualified specialist in this field. As a rule, medical subjects (cosmetic chemistry, microbiology, anatomy, dermatology, physiotherapy, and others) must be read for this. It is very important that the specialist who will carry out the procedure on your face knows exactly what medical cosmetology is. Courses help to learn all the necessary skills for this. Otherwise, a cosmetic procedure by such a “master” may have the opposite effect.
Since cosmetology is a whole science, of course, it is difficult to be a complete expert in this field, but in order to protect yourself, certain knowledge is still necessary. Don't be afraid to ask your doctorbeautician diploma on his training. In addition, it is very important to know the contraindications to a particular procedure and the rules for caring for the skin area on which it was performed.
