New directions in cosmetology

The most popular cosmetology services

Today, the beauty industry services market offers an endless variety of means and methods to solve the problems that arise with age in every woman, as well as those shortcomings that, in our opinion, nature made when creating our appearance. I want to tell you about the most popular procedures in various beauty salons and clinics. I think that this information will help you more easily navigate this kaleidoscope of services with very intricate names. After all, you must agree, when looking at the list of services in any such establishment, you feel like you’re in a wizard’s shop - not the names of the procedures, but the spells of alchemists, all gobbledygook)))
In this article I will talk only about those procedures that have a scientific basis. And today they are in maximum demand.
And so to the point!

Bioreinforcement

We all remember how back in the 90s such a procedure as “Thread lifting” was popular, when gold threads were used, which were inserted under the skin using small incisions. This procedure was quite painful and not as effective as they said about it. To begin with, the gold threads provoked an inflammatory process in the skin, in response to which a supporting framework of collagen and elastin fibers formed around the threads. The lifting effect lasted for 2-3 years, but then the tissues not treated with threads inevitably aged. And “stitching” the entire face is quite traumatic!
Today, “Bioreinforcement” has gained well-deserved popularity. An excellent replacement for gold threads!
These are intradermal injections of preparations based on hyaluronic acid, which are administered along vector lines or lines of natural tension of the epidermis. This procedure is non-surgical, almost painless, and the result is visible literally immediately. And what is very important, bioreinforcement can be repeated periodically. Hyaluronic acid, once in the deep layers of the skin, “pushes out” fine wrinkles, improves microcirculation of skin cells, moisturizes them, and also accelerates collagen synthesis. True, dermatocosmetologists do not agree with the anti-aging ability of acid. But, in my opinion, due to moisturizing and stimulating cell microcirculation, the skin will in any case look more youthful and well-groomed!

Botox

As they say on Wikipedia - “As a result of injections of botulinum toxin or Botox, even stubborn and deep wrinkles are smoothed out by relaxing the overactive muscles involved in their formation by blocking the signals between these muscles and their motor nerves. Under the influence of botulinum neurotoxin, muscle motor activity weakens. Fine and deep wrinkles are smoothed out, and the surface of the skin becomes smooth.
To administer the drug, thin needles are used to inject the drug into the muscles. To numb the procedure, local anesthetics are used, which are first applied to the skin.
The drug begins to act on average after 7-14 days. The effect of the drug lasts from 2 to 8 months, after which the procedure must be repeated to restore the effect. With regular procedures, the muscles are kept relaxed, wrinkles of any depth are smoothed out and new ones do not form.
Despite its ability to reduce the signs of aging on the face, botulinum neurotoxin still has disadvantages. With this drug it is impossible to eliminate all wrinkles, but only facial (or dynamic) ones formed as a result of excessive muscle activity. For example, the area around the mouth, cheeks and chin are not the best places for botulinum toxin injections. To eliminate wrinkles in these areas, fillers or gels are used to fill the grooves of the wrinkles.
There is a technique called “mesobotox” - this is the subdermal administration of microdoses of the drug (micropapular). This technique allows you to smooth out fine purse-string wrinkles around the mouth.”
In Russia, botulinum toxin analogues are approved for use: Dysport, Lantox and Xeomin. Unlike the others, Xeomin can be stored at room temperature. That is, the chances that the product will be deactivated and will not have any effect are significantly lower than with other drugs that must be stored in the cold.

Botox non-injection

No matter how tempting this phrase may sound, in this case we are talking only about cosmetic products based on botulinum toxin. That is, non-injection Botox is the application of creams and serums with a small content of Botox to the face, neck and décolleté. The effect of such procedures is insignificant, since the botulinum toxin molecule is too large to penetrate through the pores or transepidermal channels. The substance can be delivered into the deep layers of the skin only through a needle. And what can be combined with the cream is only part of the complex protein.
Therefore, it is simply not fair to talk about some immediate effect from Botox-based creams, about the fact that pronounced wrinkles become less obvious. Non-injection Botox has only a preventive, anti-aging effect.

Brossage

The name of this procedure is much more romantic and mysterious than the procedure itself. Over the past 10 years, there have been global updates in the cosmetology equipment market, and the fact that a machine for mechanical skin cleansing is still used in many prestigious beauty salons is somewhat shocking to me. There is evidence that “brossage” was used back in the 30s of the last century. And today, neither the technology nor the machine itself have changed. The principle of operation is simple: rotating brushes, much like electric toothbrushes, remove dead skin cells. The device is used to remove dead skin cells both on the face and the entire body. By the way, the brushes on such a device cannot be removed or replaced, which means you can only dream about hygiene! Moreover, this procedure is contraindicated for people with sensitive skin, acne and skin allergies.

Vaporization

Behind such a “magic” name is hidden the banal treatment of skin with water vapor. With the same success, you can bend over a bowl of hot water, with some oil or herbal infusion - the effect will be no worse! Vaporization is most often offered before skin cleansing. However, today dermatocosmetologists unanimously claim that cleaning pores mechanically (by squeezing) after steaming is unsafe - there is a risk of damaging blood vessels.
Vaporization as a procedure is acceptable only for aromatherapy in a spa. The specialist directs aromatic cool or variable temperature steam at you, and you enjoy the notes of essential oils.

Gas-liquid peeling

Most often, this procedure is carried out using a device - Jet Peel. This is a procedure during which dead skin cells are exfoliated mechanically. The name of the procedure varies depending on the imagination of those who offer it. Therefore, you can find both “gas-liquid peeling” and simply “Jet Peel”.
Gas-liquid peeling is recommended for:
*desire to even out skin texture;
*for acne;
*with aging skin;
*decreased skin tone;
*wrinkles around the eyelids and lips;
*for enlarged pores;
*strong pigmentation and the presence of age spots;
*for scarring after acne;
*for seborrhea of ​​the facial skin;
*for skin prone to the appearance of comedones (blackheads);
*for the prevention of aging;
*to improve complexion.

Gas-liquid peeling is contraindicated for:
*herpes in the acute stage;
*mental disorders;
*colds and infectious diseases;
*high temperature;
*circulatory disorders;
*systemic lupus;
*oncological diseases;
*diabetes;
*chronic diseases of the heart, liver and kidneys;
*autoimmune diseases;
*hypertension;
*states of intoxication;
*pregnancy and lactation period.

Darsonvalization

Here is a classic hardware procedure. It is as old as the branch of medicine it belongs to – physiotherapy. The name comes from the darsonval apparatus. Today almost every salon with a cosmetologist’s office has this installation. The principle of operation is this: a high-frequency current, passing through a glass vacuum tube, affects the epidermis, or more precisely, the blood vessels. During the procedure, ozone is released, known for its bactericidal properties. Darsonval tones the skin well, improves blood microcirculation (and therefore complexion) and has a lymphatic drainage effect. As a rule, it is not used as an independent procedure, but only as the final stage of basic care.
Indications for the use of high-frequency alternating current may be as follows: the presence of acne; problems with oily skin; pore expansion; unhealthy complexion; pustular lesions. The device for local darsonvalization allows you to fight even small wrinkles on the face and décolleté. It is successfully used for all types of baldness.
In addition, pulsed current therapy is successfully used to treat headaches, neuralgia, and varicose veins. It is also used at the initial stage of obliterating vascular lesions, for chronic ulcers and wounds, frostbite, and skin itching.

Iontophoresis

Iontophoresis and darsonvalization can argue among themselves which of them is older! This method also came to cosmetology from physiotherapy. The range of action of this device is very extensive: getting rid of fine wrinkles, dry skin, swelling, dilated capillaries. The action is based on polarly charged particles (cations and anions, if anyone has forgotten) and constant galvanic current. A special cream, tonic, lotion, whatever, is applied to the surface of the face, after which it is treated with iontophoresis. And everything useful that the product contains gets into the upper layers of the epidermis.
Facial iontophoresis is prescribed to solve age-related and teenage problems with facial skin:
*in order to eliminate and slow down the formation of wrinkles (it is better to start at the age of 35);
*lifting the oval of the face due to activation of the facial muscles;
*increasing skin elasticity and color;
*creating tissue hydration;
*reduce nasolabial folds, “crow’s feet”;
* saturate the skin with useful substances;
* cleanse the skin of toxins and free radicals;
*reduce the severity of scars;
*elimination of acne and its consequences.

Lymphatic drainage

Provided that you do not suffer from thrombophlebitis, kidney disease, heart disease, or thrombosis, this procedure can be very useful!
Lymphatic drainage can be performed manually - through massage performed by a specialist in order to remove excess fluid from the body. Either hardware - pressotherapy or myostimulation.
Pressotherapy involves a suit made of rubberized fabric in which your body is packed and left to rest for a while. The device operates according to a given program, which is installed by the master. The specialist selects the time of the procedure, the frequency of compression and their strength. In the case of manual lymphatic drainage, everything is different - the human factor intervenes. The quality of the procedure performed and, accordingly, the effect after it depend on the professionalism of the master. It is recommended to go for lymphatic drainage once a week.
Lymphatic drainage is carried out only after a doctor’s prescription and in the absence of contraindications.
The procedure is recommended for:
*initial stage of varicose veins;
*chronic venous insufficiency;
* complications after diabetes mellitus;
*swelling and inflammatory processes of the skin;
* shallow scars and scars of the skin;
*obesity;
*cellulite;
*acne;
*decreased skin elasticity.

Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is an alternative medicine method invented by the French physician Michel Pistor in 1958.
Considering that the skin is a derivative of mesoderm, almost any treatment method that involves intradermal or subcutaneous administration of drugs or other effects can be conditionally called mesotherapy. Therefore, simply put, mesotherapy is a method of treating aesthetic skin problems in which vitamin “cocktails” are delivered under the skin using injections.
Today, beauty salons offer women cocktails for every taste: moisturizing, draining, anti-rosacea, nourishing. The main thing here is to find a knowledgeable, experienced specialist.
Indications for mesotherapy:
*teenage acne, nail problems, skin unevenness;
*sagging skin;
*disproportionally full arms can be reduced within 2 months by doing the procedure every week;
*hair loss in women is well treated with mesotherapy; medicinal preparations are injected directly into the hair follicle and after this the hair takes on a healthy appearance. In men, this method does not have as good results as in women;
*scars on the body, their treatment depends on the accuracy of the injections;
*herpes;
*scabies;
*cellulite.

Microdermabrasion

In my opinion, this procedure is one of the most terrible! But as those who have subjected themselves to microdermabrasion say, it is very effective. The method removes the epidermis and the upper layer of the dermis mechanically, after which the regeneration processes are inevitably activated. Aluminum oxide powder under high pressure is precisely directed onto the face, and after the crystals reach the epidermis and “shave off” everything that comes their way, another nozzle, like a vacuum cleaner, sucks the particles back. The cosmetologist moves the device over the face, and this is the main catch: the face is not a skating rink and has a relief, and the skin has different thicknesses. But on the other hand, the procedure is calculated down to microns and if it is performed by a specialist, then you probably shouldn’t worry
After the procedure, the skin is bright red and covered with a blood crust! But, as I already said, after the recovery period the skin becomes noticeably younger. You decide!
Indications for microdermabrasion:
* uneven skin tone and the presence of age spots;
*presence of small and deep wrinkles;
*scars and stretch marks of various origins;
*loss of skin cells' functions;
*presence of acne and pimples;
*enlarged pores on the face;
*rough skin due to the influence of wind, sun and other negative factors.

Plasmolifting™

The main indications for plasma lifting are:
* facial wrinkles;
*changes that occur with age, the first noticeable signs of aging, wrinkles;
*withered, flabby skin;
*presence of acne, blackheads and pimples;
*dry skin, peeling;
*earthy, gray color due to accumulated toxins in the body;
*swelling and bruises under the eyes;
*scars, acne marks; loss of elasticity, firmness;
*deterioration of the contours of the chin;
*deformation of the oval of the face;
*vascular network – rosacea;
*photoaging;
*damage or deterioration after surgery, exposure to laser or chemical concentrates;
*decreased skin turgor;
*changes in connective tissue fibers that occur with age;
*initial stages of tissue sagging.
The procedure itself is carried out in several stages. You must first take several blood tests. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge where it is separated into fractions. After this, the number of platelets in the plasma increases significantly. The doctor makes an injection into the area that the client considers problematic, then the body begins to form growth factors - compounds that stimulate the growth of new cells
This will be the main reason for active skin regeneration and, accordingly, its visible rejuvenation. The patient will be able to admire the first results only after 14 days.
