With age, the skin of the face becomes unsightly, loses elasticity and freshness, this also occurs due to a violation of the hormonal background of the body or external damage to the surface. A way out of the situation can be a facelift - a procedure that provides for the correction of defects acquired operationally or superficially.
A facelift helps restore self-confidence in women who are worried about age-related skin changes or other skin changes.
What is a facelift?
The tightening allows a complete adjustment of the upper layers of the skin, thanks to which the treated areas are rejuvenated and refreshed. Depending on the embodiment of the intervention, the tightening can be carried out in an operative or non-surgical manner.
Surgical intervention is necessary in the presence of serious problems, it varies in the degree of complexity.
- A classic cervico-facial lift consists of stretching the upper part of the skin without altering or affecting the internal tissues. This option is suitable for removing fine lines and correcting minor skin imperfections;
- Deep lifting (SMAS lifting) - is a full-fledged operation in which several incisions are made, followed by the removal of excess tissue;
- Endoscopic surgery is performed using modern technology. In this case, tissue compression is performed from the inside, using a miniature video camera embedded under the skin on the scalp side. This method avoids large incisions, which shortens the recovery time after the procedure.
Non-surgical facelift techniques for skin rejuvenation have become more common in recent years because they are virtually painless, relatively affordable, and have no particular contraindications. In the process of non-surgical skin tightening, the following are used:
- serums - convenient to use at home, since they are equipped with a fixing dispenser (to save money), differ in the speed of action and have practically no contraindications, except in the case ofindividual intolerance to components;
