Pharmacy remedies for nasolabial folds

Nature works in such a way that over time, the skin of any person loses its elasticity and begins to wrinkle.

With age, in both men and women, one of the most common and unpleasant problems is the appearance of nasolabial folds.

They can also occur at a young age, since the nature of their development is due to facial muscle contractions. Read below about how to properly deal with this problem.

Pharmaceutical products against wrinkles around the mouth

Modern pharmacology offers a number of effective means to remove wrinkles in the area of ​​the nasolabial triangle. They vary in price, method of use and degree of effectiveness. There is the best option for every consumer. All anti-wrinkle products are divided into groups:

Crema

For the nasolabial area, creams intended for the entire surface of the face are used. At a younger age, products containing hyaluronic acid will be the most suitable option. For pronounced wrinkles, you should give preference to creams with a lifting effect. Among the most popular products are Shark Oil and anti-wrinkle cream with collagen from the Librederm brand.

“Shark oil” is a 50 ml tube. The active components of the composition include substances beneficial to the skin:

1. water;
2. almond oil;
3. aloe vera gel;
4. shark oil;
5. neroli oil;
6. Coenzyme Q10.

The positive aspects of the cream include its cost. It varies from 100 to 110 rubles. According to reviews, the cream is quickly absorbed and has an excellent tightening effect. Another positive property is the ability to moisturize and nourish the skin.

Librederm brand cream must be applied at night. Thanks to the presence of collagen, it gives the skin smoothness and elasticity. The skin becomes more elastic and radiant in appearance. The course of using the cream is designed for two weeks. After this time, a tangible result will be noticeable.

When fighting wrinkles, it is important to regularly use a product directed against them.

Ointments have a denser texture. For this reason, they take longer to absorb. It is recommended to apply the ointment immediately before going to bed, since not all of them can be a good base for makeup. The most effective products in ointment format include:

Hydrocortisone ointment is intended to combat allergic reactions on the surface of the skin. The active components of the composition have the effect of retaining moisture in the deep layers of the skin. Due to this, slight swelling is formed. Expression wrinkles begin to smooth out. They began to use ointment in cosmetology recently.

Initially, Radevit ointment was used to restore the skin in diseases such as eczema, dermatitis and erosion. Later, the product began to be actively used in cosmetology. This is due to its rich composition, which includes vitamins A, E and D2. These components not only have a soothing effect on the skin, but also actively nourish it. Vitamin A is one of the most effective components that eliminate wrinkles.

The direct purpose of Panthenol is the regeneration of skin cells. Very often the product is prescribed to heal burns or other skin damage. Panthenol improves the process of cellular metabolism, due to which collagen fibers gain strength. The advantages of the ointment include the ability to be quickly absorbed without leaving marks on the skin. This allows you to use the ointment at any time of the day.

Masks

Masks designed to remove wrinkles are available in different formats. Fabric masks are easy to use. They are impregnated with a special solution. To achieve the desired effect, you need to place the mask on your face for a certain time. But this type of mask is somewhat inferior to those that can be prepared at home using pharmaceutical products. The most popular masks are those based on clay and natural essential oils.

Clay-based masks are suitable for any skin type. They perfectly mattify and tone the skin. With regular use, wrinkles become less pronounced. In the pharmacy, clay is sold in dry form. Before applying to the skin, it must be diluted with water. If desired, you can enrich the composition with herbal decoctions, oils, lemon juice or milk.

Masks containing natural essential oils are wildly popular. The following oil options can serve as the main component:

1. almond;
2. grape seed oil;
3. peach;
4. jojoba oil;
5. wheat germ oil.

Oil masks are applied for 10 – 15 minutes, after which you should blot the skin with a paper napkin. Smoothing of wrinkles will be noticeable with regular use of masks. Preference should be given to high-quality oils. Low-quality samples can clog pores.

Injections

In the presence of pronounced nasolabial folds, injections are most often used. The procedure for introducing a special solution under the skin is absolutely safe, provided that all established standards are observed. The injection must be performed by a qualified specialist. During the procedure, tingling may be felt. In some cases, small bruises may remain at the site of the skin puncture. Botox or preparations containing hyaluronic acid are most often injected into the nasolabial folds.

Botox is used to a greater extent outside the Russian Federation, since the procedure is not available to everyone due to pricing. The cost of one injection varies from 900 to 2000 rubles. It depends on the prestige of the clinic and the professional qualities of the cosmetologist.

Botox locally paralyzes muscle function. The result will last on average 6 months. After this period, the procedure must be repeated. The outcome of the procedure will include the following:

1. absence of creases, even with active facial expressions;
2. increasing skin elasticity;
3. filling existing wrinkles.

Overuse of Botox can lead to drooping of the corners of the mouth or eyelid.

The result will last on average 6 months. After this period, the procedure must be repeated.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural element found in the skin. It retains moisture, affecting the tone and elasticity of the skin surface. The introduction of hyaluronic acid into the area of ​​the nasolabial folds ensures smoothing of wrinkles for up to six months. The most popular drugs containing it include:

The cost of drugs varies from 10,000 to 20,000 rubles. Their composition is close to the structure of skin cells, so they are absolutely safe. The procedure is repeated after six months. The removal of hyaluronic acid occurs naturally.

Reviews of salon procedures and pharmaceutical products are, in most cases, positive. Side effects are extremely rare. Getting rid of wrinkles when using injections occurs in a much shorter time. Pharmacy products have a cumulative effect.

Today you can choose a variety of anti-wrinkle products: creams, serums, gels, masks, lotions, tonics - the choice of products is huge! But the prices for high-quality cosmetics from well-known brands are also not low - the cost of high-quality components cannot be low.

What do you think about an extraordinary solution to the problem of fighting wrinkles? Let's try going to the nearest pharmacy or looking in the refrigerator. Perhaps pharmaceuticals and folk remedies against wrinkles will help you solve the problem of skin aging? We offer an overview of anti-wrinkle products that you can purchase at the pharmacy or prepare at home using natural ingredients.

What pharmaceutical products help your skin not age?

Of course, many people know the effect of vitamins E and A added to creams. As soon as you diversify your usual skin care products with these pharmaceutical preparations, their positive effects immediately become noticeable:

1. Vitamin A (Retinol acetate) nourishes and restores the skin. When it gets on the face, it causes slight swelling, which helps smooth out wrinkles. Vitamin A should not be left overnight - swelling can become very pronounced;
2. Vitamin E capsules not only nourishes the skin, but also has an antioxidant effect on it;
3. To combat wrinkles, it is especially important to pay sufficient attention to moisturizing it. Castor oil does this well: applied to the skin of the face, it forms a protective film that prevents moisture from evaporating. Castor oil should not be left overnight because it causes swelling, but it must be used during the day.

If many people trust vitamins and castor oil, then there are also medications that you would never think of using for other purposes.

For example, have you already tried using Solcoseryl with Demixide not to treat wounds, burns and bedsores, but for wrinkles? Should I apply Lyoton for swelling not on my legs, but on my face? How about taking a small needle, piercing a Blepharogel capsule and using the contents against tear wrinkles under the eyes? Have you tried it too? There is also Finalgon, Panthenol and Capsicam. We are sure that you would never even think of using hemorrhoid cream as a remedy for wrinkles. But in vain!

Pharmacy anti-wrinkle products contain components that well-known cosmetic brands use as the basis for anti-aging cosmetics.

Let's conduct a brief review of pharmaceutical drugs to determine the most effective remedy that will help fight skin aging.

Lyoton for swelling... face

Let's tell you a secret that Lyoton gel is recommended at the Beauty Institute when they perform eyelid surgery on their patients. Lyoton, as well as Troxevasin, perfectly relieve not only swelling of the legs, but also remove bags under the eyes and smooth out tear wrinkles:

1. The preparations are carefully applied under the eyelids or all over the face, after 10 minutes they are washed off and the swelling disappears before the eyes - in the literal and figurative meaning of the word;
2. Thanks to its light texture, the gel can not even be washed off, but used as a base for makeup;
3. It is also recommended that if there is severe swelling of the face, use Lyoton instead of night cream, but this should be done no more than 3 times a week.

Blefarogel

The drug, which is used to treat and prevent eye diseases, can be used as a remedy for wrinkles under the eyes. It contains the main active ingredients - hyaluronic acid and aloe vera juice. What could be better for caring for aging skin?

1. Hyaluronic acid promotes collagen production and gives skin elasticity;
2. Aloe vera juice moisturizes the skin and serves as an antiseptic.

Blefarogel is available in small capsules - it is better for them to enrich existing skin care products:

1. You can take the same Lyoton as a basis. Add 2 drops of Blefarogel to it and apply to the skin under the eyes. The product will effectively smooth out wrinkles, relieve puffiness and moisturize the skin;
2. Also, 5 drops of Blefarogel can be mixed with 50 ml of cucumber juice, moisten cotton pads with the resulting mixture and apply them to the eyes for 20 - 25 minutes;
3. 4 drops of Blepharogel added to 5 grams of Solcoseryl will be an excellent moisturizing mask for dry skin. It is applied for 30 minutes, then washed off with water.

Please note that for cosmetic purposes it is recommended to use Blefarogel1, which can be confused with Blefarogel2 gel. The latter is used only for medicinal purposes, since it contains sulfur, which is not beneficial for the skin.

Curiosin

We have already talked about how zinc ointment helps take care of the skin, but it is even better to use Curiosin gel to combat wrinkles. In addition to zinc, it contains hyaluronic acid, famous for its anti-aging effect, which nourishes, moisturizes and smoothes the skin. You can experiment with using Curiosin:

1. Apply it instead of morning and night cream;
2. Mix equal amounts of Curiosin with any cream and apply the resulting product to your face at night;
3. In its pure form, the gel is applied under the eyes and on the nasolabial folds for 10 days at night. It is believed that this procedure replaces injections with hyaluronic acid;
4. Curiosin can be used as a mask for the face and décolleté. To do this, the gel is applied to the problem area, allowed to absorb for 2 minutes, then covered with moisturizer on top. Leave everything for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

Ointment Capsicam or Finalgon

These pharmaceutical drugs for joint pain help improve blood circulation. By adding a small amount of ointment - half a match head to 5 ml of cream - you can get a very good protective cream for the face that will protect it from the cold and prevent the skin from drying out.

Please note that cream with Capsicam or Finalgon should be applied 2 - 3 hours before leaving home. This remedy is especially effective for older skin, when blood supply deteriorates with age. But for those whose vessels are not deep, but are visible on the delicate skin of the face, adding Capsicam and Finalgon to the cream is not recommended.

Panthenol

Panthenol for burns can be used as an anti-wrinkle mask 2 times a week. Before applying it to the face, it is recommended to cleanse the skin with a scrub, then apply a thin layer of Panthenol. After half an hour, wash off. There is no need to moisturize the skin, as Panthenol promotes hydration and softening and does not cause dryness.

Of course, no one encourages you to use all the pharmaceutical products described in the article. Taking into account the characteristics of your skin and carefully studying the contraindications for use, you can choose something for yourself. If these recommendations do not inspire confidence in you, then folk remedies for wrinkles should certainly interest you.

Folk remedies against wrinkles

Perhaps you will be able to choose the best remedy among the proven recipes, which we will discuss below. After all, the components for their preparation are available to everyone and do not contain chemicals found in pharmaceutical products.

In addition to the advantages that folk remedies for wrinkles have, they have one minor drawback: they are stored very little, you cannot prepare them for future use, so you will have to spend a little time preparing them before applying them to the skin. But at the same time, they are less allergenic; you can choose a composition that suits your skin. In addition, an effective folk remedy can be prepared from what is always on hand, such as water.

Folk remedy for washing

It perfectly tones the skin, makes the face fresh and toned, and prevents the appearance of wrinkles by washing not with plain water, but by wiping it with ice cubes. This product is especially effective for the delicate skin under the eyes. The easiest way to prepare:

1. Take 0.5 liters of clean water;
2. Pour it into ice cube trays and put it in the freezer.
3. Rub the resulting cubes all over your face after sleep and in the evening to relieve fatigue. I'm especially pleased that it can be used even under the eyes.

For those who like to experiment, you can mix water and milk in equal quantities, or brew any herbal decoction - your skin will like this combination even more.

Berry anti-wrinkle mask

A mask made from strawberries or a mixture of fruit berries will be relevant in the summer. This folk remedy is cheap, but the effect is simply amazing:

1. Mix 2 - 3 medium strawberries with a tablespoon of honey and crush;
2. Keep the resulting pulp on your face for no more than half an hour, and place bags of strawberry pulp on your eyelids.

Strawberries are well absorbed into the skin and nourish it - this serves as a good preventative against wrinkles on the face and under the eyes.

You can mix other berries with strawberries, such as raspberries or gooseberries. But you shouldn’t experiment with black currants and mulberries, otherwise you’ll end up with a delicate but purple tint to your face.

Lemon tonic

If you are used to wiping your face with toner, try making it with lemon and vodka:

1. Cut 1 lemon into pieces and pour 200 ml of vodka;
2. Leave to infuse for 10 days;

The resulting tonic is used to wipe the face daily, and is also used as a prophylactic against wrinkles:

1. To do this, you need to moisten gauze or cotton pads in the solution and place them on your face for 20 minutes;
2. Remove the mask. There is no need to wash your face.

This procedure perfectly tones the skin, improves blood circulation and prevents wrinkles.

Whatever you choose - folk remedies for wrinkles or decide to test pharmaceutical drugs on yourself, remember that in everything you need measure and systematicity. Only constant skin care will help avoid the appearance of wrinkles.

To combat wrinkles and aging skin, most women use cosmetic creams with a rejuvenating effect, which are presented on store shelves in a wide range. It is unlikely that it will be a discovery for anyone that advertised products from well-known manufacturers, as a rule, contain fairly simple components. And such components that have a beneficial effect on the skin can be found in inexpensive products sold in pharmacies, for example, in ointments. Therefore, some pharmaceutical ointments are even more effective for facial skin than anti-wrinkle creams.

Pharmaceutical ointments against wrinkles

Let's consider several pharmaceutical ointments that have different purposes and indications for use, but have been tested by many women as preparations for skin rejuvenation and wrinkle smoothing and have positive reviews.

This drug has powerful regenerating properties and is recommended for the treatment of various skin lesions. The active component of the ointment is an extract from the blood of calves, which has the following effect:

1. restoration of normal tissue structure;
2. activation of tissue respiration;
3. normalization of blood flow and metabolic processes in cells;
4. increased collagen synthesis.

Using Solcoseryl as a face mask or night cream, you can achieve a significant improvement in skin condition, smooth out fine wrinkles and reduce the depth of more pronounced ones, and improve complexion. This pharmaceutical ointment can be applied against wrinkles under the eyes and around the lips. It is recommended to use the product no more than 3 times a week.

The main ingredient of this drug, which is also used for skin lesions, is provitamin B5, which has the following properties:

1. regeneration of damaged tissues;
2. improvement of metabolic processes in cells;
3. strengthening of collagen fibers;
4. moisturizing and softening the skin.

Thanks to this, this ointment is a fairly effective remedy for wrinkles. However, given its rather dense consistency, it is recommended to apply the ointment to the skin locally.

This is a combined preparation with a high content of vitamins A, E and D2, used as a dermaprotective agent. When applied to the skin it has the following effects:

1. improvement of metabolism in tissues;
2. moisture retention;
3. antioxidant effect;
4. strengthening regeneration processes.

In order to reduce wrinkles, this ointment is recommended to be used at night for courses of 1-1.5 months.

Pharmacy anti-wrinkle ointments with hyaluronic acid

A good alternative to anti-wrinkle creams can be pharmaceutical products that contain hyaluronic acid, one of the most powerful skin moisturizers. Such products are produced not in the form of ointments, but in the form of gels, for example:
