How to deal with age-related skin changes

It used to be that buying the first anti-aging cream is necessary after 25 years, and experimenting with rejuvenating procedures - closer to 35. Now cosmetologists are not so categorical. The age specified in the passport is not so important, the condition of the skin and the way of life that you lead are much more important. Bad ecology, smoking, abuse of sunbathing - all these factors accelerate aging, so that visits to a cosmetologist should become regular even before the fourth decade comes. Competent skin care from a young age can delay the appearance of the first wrinkles and in the future save time and money. Diagnosis of the skin
Do not miss the moment and choose the best program for skin care will help modern diagnostic devices. Computer diagnostics, conducted in clinics, gives the most complete picture of the state of the epidermis. Supersensitive sensors analyze parameters such as moisture, fat content, elasticity, acid-base balance, pigmentation. Some machines can assume how the skin will look after a few years. Based on these data, the cosmetologist will make an individual care program and recommend procedures for preserving beauty and youth.

Help from within
It is desirable to control the negative external influences on the skin from the inside. The first assistants in this are dietary supplements and vitamin complexes. The course of antioxidants (products with vitamins C and E, lycopene, beta-carotene) is ideal for drinking in the autumn - this will help the skin to recover more quickly after the summer and provide the necessary vitamin reserve for the winter. Another important element for maintaining skin youth is the polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6, responsible for the elasticity and elasticity of the skin. They can also be consumed in the form of dietary supplements or enter into the diet of more vegetable oils, fatty varieties of fish, nuts. From extreme diets it is necessary to refuse - the lack of vitamins and trace elements instantly affects the skin condition and slows down metabolic processes.

Sugarless
A lot of research has been devoted to the problem of glycation (damage to collagen and elastane by sugar molecules (glucose)) Scientists are of the opinion that toxins accumulating in the skin due to the interaction of proteins and glucose significantly slow down metabolism, inhibit the absorption of nutrients and access of oxygen to cells. are located inside the skin, it is almost impossible to restore its turgor and reduce wrinkles.Detect toxins will help special agents derived from plant components. Islands such as Japanese mugwort leaves mother and stepmother, or astragalus destroy and removes harmful products of glycation.

What factors influence the aging of the skin?
  1. Excessive consumption of sweet. Complex carbohydrates and starch aggravate the problem, since in the process of digestion they decompose to sugars.
  2. Insufficient amount of fiber, which helps the body absorb sugar. The more fiber we eat, the less surplus sugar accumulates in the body.
  3. A large number of processed products. Products that have undergone heat treatment, which include sugar and protein, can contain ready-made AGE (substances that promote skin aging).
Water for skin
One of the most important parameters that determine the health of the skin is the level of hydration. With age, the synthesis of hyaluronic acid - a substance that, like a sponge, absorbs molecules of water and keeps them inside the dermis slows down. Because of this, the skin becomes drier, vulnerable to external influences and eventually loses its elasticity faster. Fortunately, now there are many effective remedies, including low-molecular, i.e., easily assimilable hyaluronic acid. It does not allow collapsing the skeleton to collapse and keeps the skin young and beautiful. However, an instrument is needed that can deliver hyaluronic acid to all layers of the epidermis and dermis. Unfortunately, this is only possible with injections or with a cold laser. Nevertheless, do not discount the cosmetics. Modern products have good hydrating properties, even if they work exclusively on the surface of the epidermis. Their main goal is to prevent loss of moisture, soften the skin and give it a shine. Pay attention to the means that besides hyaluronic acid contain urea, glycerin and seaweed. They maintain a normal hydrobalance, remove the flaking and return a healthy color to the face.

Home care
Professional skin care must be maintained at home. Regular use of cosmetics can significantly prolong the effect of injections and other procedures. Serums and creams improve the appearance of the skin, eliminate pigmentation, stimulate the production of proteins and accelerate metabolism. Now there are products that can affect fibroblasts - the key dermal cells that synthesize collagen and elastane. These substances include complexes containing date tree extracts, stabilized vitamin C or oleuropein, which support the work of fibroblasts, thereby increasing the density of the dermis, the contours are tightened, and the pigment spots become less noticeable. Cosmetics, of course, is not an alternative to the apparatus, but in its power to effectively resist aging. Most hardware methods have a complex effect on the body, which is not peculiar to cosmetics, which works directly in the application area. However, if you apply dermal cells (fibroblasts) with cosmetics with vitamin C, you can increase the synthesis of collagen, if you use the light methods of exposure to the skin (they have a thermal effect on the dermis and do not affect the surface layer), the skin will be pulled by compaction of collagen fibers.

Hardware Methods
In recent years, the popularity of hardware methods of rejuvenation has grown dramatically. That, in general, it is not surprising, because in terms of effectiveness they are in no way inferior to injections, and sometimes exceed them. For patients after 40-45 with age-related tissue loss, cosmetologists recommend non-invasive facelift. Such a lift is carried out at the level of SMAS (Superficial muscular aponeurotic system - the muscular aponeurotic layer that connects the skin with the muscles of the face), so that no strings can match it.

When it comes to contour modeling of the face, intradermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid of varying density and viscosity will help. Injection methods - biorevitalization, mesotherapy are good when it is necessary to work not with the quality of the skin, but with its hydration and nutrition. In fact, for different problems, different methods.

New procedures
An excellent effect in modeling the contours of the face and gives a radio wave lifting. Intensive warming of the dermis during the procedure stimulates the renewal of collagen. This gives a persistent rejuvenating effect - the skin becomes more dense, tightened, wrinkles are greatly reduced. Such lifting should be carried out by a course of 6-8 procedures. It is advisable to repeat it twice a year.

Do not ignore the achievements of laser cosmetology. A real breakthrough in recent years is laser nanoporphyring, suitable for working with any skin, including sensitive and pigmented. Here we use a special nozzle, a crushing laser beam for a multitude of microscopic beams. This is practically a jeweler's work of the laser, providing a large area of ​​regeneration with less stress for the skin. Laser nano-perforation gives a complex result: it corrects wrinkles, increases the elasticity of the skin, removes traces of post-acne and even narrows the pores. In this case, the probability, burns and failures of pigmentation is minimal, and the rehabilitation period takes a few days. Such technology can be used not only on the face, but also in the décolleté zone and on the hands - the areas considered by the cosmetologists to be the most complex. When the full course of nanoproforation passes, the result remains for about 5 years.
