Cosmetic facelift, an alternative to surgery

Cosmetic surgery makes great anti-aging promises. And there is something for everyone: firmed facial oval, reduced wrinkles and fine lines, radiant complexion... But to have the “lifted skin” effect, it is not essential to go on the operating table. The cosmetic facelift also fights against the effects of age, and is gradually establishing itself as one of the best alternatives against sagging skin due to age. Cosmetic facelift: what actions? We all face the signs of aging one day or another. Our collagen production decreases and the facial skin relaxes. Fortunately, the field of cosmetics provides many solutions to people who want to take care of themselves and obtain the “lifted skin” effect without resorting to cosmetic surgery. Beauty products and other skincare methods do much more than tighten the skin or make the skin soft. They also have a plumping action, participate in the regeneration of the skin (both on the face and neck) and smooth wrinkles. These actions combined together allow effective treatment of wrinkles and fine lines and maintain the harmony of the face. The treatments fill in the furrows and make the complexion appear radiant. The plumper effect for the treatment of wrinkles IF you don't like the visual appearance of wrinkles, there is little chance that you will prefer that of hyper-tense skin on very marked bones. To combat the effects of aging, it is therefore essential to act on collagen and elastin at the same time. Plumping acts on collagens I, III and IV, laminins, boosts the production of hyaluronic acid… It helps to protect against sagging skin by giving energy to your cells so that they increase on their own. production and quality of elastic fibers. Apply your cream to the area of ​​your face that needs it most. Even if the wrinkles are more discreet on the chin, massage it with a dab of cream. A little “lift” effect can’t hurt when the entire face receives anti-aging care. Facial treatments that regenerate Many modern techniques focus on sagging facial skin and combat it by stimulating the skin's natural youthful factors. Dermatologists use mesotherapy (discussed later in this article) and autologous plasma injections a lot. How does plasma help fight signs of skin aging? All you have to do is take a blood sample, centrifuge and extract the blood cells. Your plasma remains in the tube. This contains lots of platelets and revitalizing growth factors. Mixed together, these two elements boost skin cells. As effective as hyaluronic acid injections, and still without the drawbacks of medicine! Note that the neck and décolleté can also receive these facial treatments to “rejuvenate”. Mesotherapy to plump up your face This aesthetic treatment consists of numerous small injections, made over the entire face. Effective formulas with hyaluronic acid, vitamins, antioxidant minerals and nutrients help slow and prevent sagging skin. For optimal results, it is recommended to do 5 sessions. The first three sessions give a real boost to the skin's natural mechanisms and therefore constitute a popular treatment for facial skin. The last sessions aim to repair the damage caused by sagging skin (fine lines and wrinkles, dull complexion, etc.). Thanks to this treatment, your skin benefits from a real lifting effect. Your skin is radiant and well hydrated. This facial treatment costs between €120 and €200 per session. Thermage to combat the effects of aging Thermage is a mono-polar radiofrequency device that allows you to have lifted skin without having to go through cosmetic surgery. Electro-magnetic waves deeply treat the skin on your face. Visually, it's as if your skin has had a facelift. It is through very localized heat in different places on your face that thermage acts on the deep dermis. Only one session is necessary for a gradual effect on wrinkles and sagging skin. In fact, it acts directly on the collagen fibers: they contract and tighten the facial skin. The signs of aging are reduced, or even completely eliminated (relatively speaking, of course). If a lifting serum takes time to show its benefits, it is the same with thermage.

Anti-wrinkle serum: everything you need to know to choose the right one

In women's toiletry bags or in their bathrooms, it is a treatment that has become essential for maintaining your skin. This is the anti-aging serum. Sometimes combined with an anti-aging cream, it helps delay the appearance of wrinkles. Although it pampers the skin with its moisturizing, antioxidant and anti-aging properties, it is not always easy to choose it. Here are our tips for selecting the perfect anti-wrinkle serum for you. What is an anti-aging serum? A serum is a cream whose concentrated formula provides the cells of the epidermis with maximum hydration and helps fight against premature aging of the skin. It combats the effects of sagging and buys time before the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. If this facial treatment is so effective, it is thanks to its formulation and its concentration. In fact, the serum constitutes an emulsion. Which means that its aqueous constitution allows its active ingredients to penetrate much deeper into the epidermis. This explains why in addition to fighting against the skin effects of aging, a serum often guarantees better hydration than cosmetic products that only moisturize. The skin also gains radiance. What are the benefits of anti-wrinkle treatment? Skin renewal needs to be stimulated, as does collagen production, which tends to decrease with age. To delay skin aging and the appearance of wrinkles, it is therefore recommended to use an anti-aging facial serum. The components of these products are chosen according to their actions: preventing oxidative damage caused by UV rays and pollution, brightening the complexion for more radiance or even calming inflammation. Choose your anti-wrinkle serum according to your skin type Like other treatments that we apply to our skin, it is essential to choose the right facial serum. Because depending on the characteristics of your skin, you will either opt for an anti-aging serum in oil, gel or fluid. Dry skin: the most suitable serum contains moisturizing properties. Oily skin: for optimal care, choose a serum with sebum-regulating properties. Texture-wise, emulsion is preferable to oil. Sensitive skin: prefer a serum with both anti-aging and soothing properties. Mature skin: mature skin often lacks hydration. The perfect serum is therefore one that combines anti-aging active ingredients and moisturizing properties. Choose your facial treatment according to the appearance of your wrinkles In addition to your skin type, you can also choose your lift serum based on the appearance of your wrinkles. The composition of the product depends on the issues it seeks to address. Many anti-aging serums aim for a complete anti-aging promise, and do not just act on the firmness of the skin or the anti-dark spots appearance. Hyaluronic acid smoothes the skin and makes it younger. It is therefore one of the key components of “youth formulas”. For deep wrinkles: opt for retinol-based products; For blemished and dull skin: choose facial treatments including vitamin C and antioxidants; For sagging skin lacking hydration and firmness: opt for a serum with collagen or hyaluronic acid. You can also look at an anti-aging cream with niacinamide, bakuchiol and peptides. Around the eyes or for skin care, these components fighting against the effects of aging will give a real boost to your skin! For wrinkles that are starting to appear and those that are already present: use smoothing treatments including a high dose of glycolic acid. The lifting effect will be maximum and you will see over time that your small furrows (especially at the corners of the eyes) will gradually fill in. It is recommended to apply it to the skin before going to bed, and before your night cream. If you absolutely need your moisturizer in the morning, skip the serum. If the serum manages to fill in your wrinkles without its texture drying out your skin, you can apply it alone. How to properly apply your anti-wrinkle serum? For your skin to regain its radiance, it is important to apply your product well to your skin. If your serum includes a pump, use just one squeeze. You will have the amount necessary to maintain your entire face. Massage the outside of the face and gradually work your way back towards your nose. Tap gently with your fingertips without pulling your skin outwards. Let the serum penetrate by gently massaging each area of ​​your face. Focus on areas where you see fine lines and wrinkles. If you also use a day cream or night cream, wait a few minutes before applying it.
