Facial rejuvenation and mesotherapy after 30

We buy a tube of Collagen Ultra gel FOR JOINTS AND SPINE at the pharmacy and begin to apply a thin layer of it to the face every evening for 10 days.
Some people may tingle, but not for long - this is normal, be patient for 10-15 minutes, everything will go away.
When the gel is absorbed, apply either:
- mask, then after how many minutes it takes, wash everything off, apply night cream;
- regular night cream and go to bed.

In a month, the most amazing positive changes are coming, which are most clearly manifested in women over 40 with previously clearly expressed ptosis and deep wrinkles and creases.

— I haven’t done mesotherapy yet, but I can say about the Collagen Ultra gel, these days the results are very good, the nasolabial lips are smoothed out, the face is tightened, I went to a cosmetologist and it didn’t happen, I don’t know how long the result will last, but the changes are very impressive, it’s a pity not all women know about this, maybe it will help someone!

The changes are amazing, honestly.

A painless analogue of mesotherapy (in terms of effect, of course), which can be safely carried out at home! True, here you will have to fork out for a tube of solcoseryl. Yes, I still need the drug"Dimexide", is inexpensive and will last for several years.

So, take a teaspoon of dimexide and dilute it with 10 teaspoons of water.

Apply the resulting solution with a cotton swab to a previously cleansed face and wait until everything dries.

Wet the face again with the solution and then apply solcoseryl gel.

Wait 30 minutes, wash off, then follow normal care.

We carry out this procedure once every two months and enjoy youth and beauty :)

A doctor friend of mine has a friend, also a doctor, who makes meso with solcoseryl - this secret was revealed to her by a cosmetologist, who, by the way, charges clients 15,000 rubles for this procedure" - these are the recipes I found on the Internet, maybe someone knows or I tried it, there is a lot of information that this gel actually helps well, is it worth believing?

This rejuvenation procedure is simple and effective, but has several nuances that will increase its effectiveness several times.
Be sure to cleanse your face before using dimexide and solcoseryl; it is best to visit a bathhouse or sauna.
Do not allow the mask to become crusty. It is necessary to have a spray bottle of water or wet swabs on hand. Moisturize your face periodically, and then the gel will not dry out.
This mask should be applied no more than once a month.
A mask with this composition has a pronounced rejuvenating effect, smooths out wrinkles and improves the appearance of facial skin.

And the process looked like this: in the evening, at night, I removed makeup and impurities with micellar water, washed my face with still warm water (so that micellar residues did not get into the dermis), did not steam the skin (this is unnecessary and harmful, so the doctor said), mixed in a deep plate 1 spoon of Dimexide and 9 spoons of water (distilled). Exactly 9 parts of water to make a 10% solution. I moistened my entire face, eyelids, lips, and neck and décolleté with the solution. Just be careful not to let it run into your eyes or get into your mouth. When the first layer had dried, I applied the second layer, piece by piece, to the forehead, on it until the solution dried, Solcoseryl gel immediately, then on the eyelids, nose; in general, so that when applying Solcoseryl, the Dimexide solution does not have time to dry, because it penetrates the skin within a minute, and I thought - it will penetrate, and the Solcoseryl will not have time to apply))) I kept it for an hour, periodically spraying thermal water on the mask. Once again, on top of Solcoseryl, I moistened the mask with a solution of dimexide, adding solcoseryl somewhere... Moreover, you must take a gel, not an ointment, since firstly, the gel contains twice as much active substance, and secondly, Dimexide does not mix with fats. In general, it seems to me that the active substance will penetrate the skin more easily from the gel. The only thing is that if the gel is not moistened, it will dry out and stretch the skin. I applied the mask to my eyelids, lips, neck and décolleté, and chest.

I washed off the mask with water, applied tonic, then Blefarogel 1 on the eyelids, and cream on the whole face. I wonder if it is possible to apply HA into the skin this way, for example, Blepharogel, or Curiosin, and Citrasept, Thiogamma and all that. I also do gymnastics for the muscles of the face and neck and stick a silk patch on my forehead at night, or during the day when I’m alone. I also want to try doing it with Actovegin, it still contains 20% of the active substance.

— A friend used both miraculous recipes - the result is very impressive, and most importantly, quickly. I took 10% solcoseryl, maybe try 20%?

Tanetta : INAll the pharmaceutical drugs you wrote about in the post work wonders. I'll give you another recipe from the pharmacy. Dimexide acts as a conductor, solcoseryl ointment ("dissolves deep seams, wrinkles) proportion 5 to 1. Apply to wrinkles for 30-40 minutes then rinse with warm water. And moisturizer. Notice literally in the second week a stunning effect. I use all these pharmacy I’ve been using the drugs for a long time. I’m 56. I don’t have a single wrinkle. And the oval of my face looks toned. Sincerely, Tatyana.

Alina_15 : ALL. IT'S ALL TRUE. WORKS. I do a lot of things written above. only “Asterisk.”, alas, is unpleasant. What I like most is Dimexide + solcoseryl ointment. aspirin with honey, calcium chloride. oils and homemade masks, the main thing is not to be lazy!

Bought Curiosin, I’ve been smearing it on my face for three days. The result is amazing! The pores on the face have decreased, the skin has tightened, the nasolabial fold is straightened and wrinkles around the eyes are reduced.

First I smear curiosin, then it dries and I smear it on top night cream moisturizing and oil solution vit A. the skin becomes good.

I also make masks from fresh grapes and drink freshly squeezed juices.

— 2.5 months have passed since the start of my procedures. All this time I have been regularly using the drugs (on the forum). Vitamin A is an excellent remedy for wrinkles. The nasolabial lips are smoothed out well. I started making my own cream (use any one as a base) with capsicam (a little bit), collagen-ultra, diluted dimexide, sweet orange oil, curiosin. The complexion is excellent. The skin is fresh and it is clearly visible. Separately or half an hour after my cream, I apply vitamin A to my nasolabial lips and vitamin E to my cheeks. At night I apply collagen gel. I like it better than cream collagen.

Comments:

— I decided to undergo oxygen rejuvenation, but there are generally 100% guarantees and that’s exciting:
The Swiss Beauty Institute L.Raphael writes about him

— Among the medications I used in the fight for facial beauty were dimexide, solcoseryl, actovegin, collagen ultra, troxerutin, vitamins A and E, ascorbic acid (for age spots), I liked everything. I’ve been doing experiments on myself for 15-16 years now)) My mother is a doctor, she recommended dimexide and solcoseryl to me. By the way, O2 cosmetics Faberlic works on the same principle as Actovegin and solcoseryl. I also use a mesoscooter.

— I recommend Aquacell capsules and plus Aquacell face masks to everyone.
Rejuvenating effect.
You can read it carefully for yourself
After the mask, you feel fresh and light, and if you use it regularly, or at least complete the course (10 masks twice a week), the girls really do see results, facial wrinkles go away. If you also drink capsules, then think for yourself, rejuvenation comes from within, it has been tested on yourself. Comfortable feeling. As if only from a cosmetologist.

I did: 1) peeling of the face, neck, abdomen and hands with acetic acid 40%, 3 times every 2 weeks;

I replaced all my skin care products with pharmaceutical ointments.

In the morning: Stillavit for the area around the eyes, blefarogel or Regitsin for the rest;

after 5 minutes I apply an emulsion of troxerutin, actovegin, aloe liniment, a couple of drops of orange oil, a couple of drops of echinacea tincture, macadamia oil (options - rose hips, shea butter, grapes, germs, argan),

after 20 minutes - uvl. sunscreen spf at least 30.

In the evening - retinoic ointment (everywhere) until the end of the tube; simple evening cream - alternately with retinoid.

2 times a week in the hammam, gelatin and kelp masks for the entire face and body.

And of course everyone’s favorite ice cubes with herbs and food masks all the time)))

after 4 months: the oval of the face returned to its place, the fine mesh under the eyes disappeared completely, the sagging skin disappeared everywhere (I was especially pleased with the neck - the “chicken skin” was completely smoothed out.) The nasolabial and nasal cheeks tightened and almost completely smoothed out. Pores have shrunk noticeably, scars and stretch marks have smoothed out. Visually erased at least 10 years.

Girls, I have used everything, I bought expensive salcoseryl and demixide creams, but the most effective result I got and get with Luminesse American cosmetics complex. 10 days of use and I’m in shock)) You shouldn’t do chemical peeling

Trying to find an effective method of combating wrinkles, many women try to use pharmaceutical products. However, choosing a truly effective drug can be difficult, since reviews of the use of the same product can be radically opposite.

One of the drugs that is often used in the fight for youthful skin is Actovegin cream. Let's figure out what this product is and whether it can get rid of wrinkles.

Description

Actovegin in the form of a cream is a means of local external action. The effect of its use is based on accelerating the processes of restoration of damaged tissues and stimulating regeneration.

Externally, the drug looks like an ordinary white cream without a distinct odor. The active ingredient is a biologically active complex obtained from the blood of calves. In addition, the composition includes glycerin, cetyl alcohol and other excipients.

Properties

Actovegin cream is a drug that activates metabolic processes in cells, which leads to accelerated regeneration. In addition, under the influence of the cream, blood circulation improves, this leads to normalization of the supply of glucose and oxygen, which increases the energy potential of cells.

Important! When used correctly, the substances included in the cream practically do not enter the bloodstream, that is, there is no systemic effect on the body.

Indications

This drug is indicated for the following diseases:

varicose veins, thrombophlebitis, including those accompanied by the formation of trophic ulcers;
bedsores occurring in bedridden patients;
the appearance of damage, microcracks on the skin;
various wounds;
thermal, radiation, chemical skin lesions.

Application

Apply the cream to clean skin twice a day. The dose depends on the degree of damage. For superficial lesions, the drug is applied to the damaged area in a thin layer; for deep lesions, a thicker layer must be applied. Deep wounds are covered with sterile dressings after application of the product.

For weeping wounds, it is necessary to apply the product three times a day; in addition, antiseptics are used.

Contraindications and side effects

There are practically no contraindications to the use of the drug. The only exception is individual intolerance to the ingredients of the drug.

If indicated, Actovegin cream can be prescribed to a pregnant woman or nursing mother, but the product should be used only on the recommendation of specialists.

When used externally, there were no cases of cream overdose. Actovegin cream is well tolerated by most people. Undesirable effects are rare, it could be:

redness – general or patchy;
itching, burning and other unpleasant sensations;
extremely rarely - development of urticaria.

How to use?

You should use Actovegin anti-wrinkle cream as follows:

the face is thoroughly cleansed;
a thin layer of the product is applied in the direction of the massage lines, while additionally you can perform a light massage by tapping with your fingertips;
the cream can also be placed under the eyes, but you need to be careful not to stretch the skin; After 30-60 minutes, blot off the remaining cream with a napkin.

It is recommended to apply the product twice a day, best after a shower or bath, when the skin is slightly steamed and the pores are open.

Masks

You can use Actovegin cream by adding it to masks. It is necessary to use the prepared compositions in courses, including 10-12 procedures, the frequency of which is three times a week.

For dry, flaky skin

To prepare the composition, squeeze out a “column” of Actovegin about two centimeters long, mix it with a spoonful of heated oil (olive or any basic cosmetic), add a little oatmeal to get a mass that resembles a cream in consistency. Just before application, add the contents of one capsule of Aevit vitamins into the composition (pierce the gelatin capsule with something sharp and pour its contents into the prepared composition). Apply the composition to cleansed skin for half an hour.

For combination or oily skin

Mix a “column” of Actovegin, two centimeters long, with red cosmetic clay (a teaspoon is enough), add a pinch of dry ginger powder (sold in the spice department) and a few drops of basic cosmetic oil, this is necessary to give the mask a consistency that is convenient for application.

Massage mask

A small amount (a centimeter “column”) of Actovegin and a spoonful of starch are mixed with an oil solution extracted from two Aevita capsules. To obtain a creamy consistency, add a little oil. All components are mixed. Apply along massage lines in a circular motion. The massage should last about 2 minutes. Then the remains of the mask are applied to the face in an even layer and washed off after half an hour.

Cosmetologists' opinion

Is Actovegin cream effective against wrinkles? It must be said that reviews from cosmetologists are mostly skeptical. This cream is created for rapid healing of damage. Therefore, there is little point in using it on the face to eliminate wrinkles.

However, in the absence of allergies, this remedy will not cause harm. It will not smooth out deep wrinkles, but the skin will be fresher after a course of procedures.

Reviews

Reviews from women who have used Actovegin cream in the fight against wrinkles are mixed. There are both ardent fans of this product and those who have experienced disappointment.

I am delighted with the results after a course of masks with Actovegin cream. The skin has become much fresher, fine wrinkles have disappeared, it seems to me that even the oval of the face has tightened. At the same time, the product is relatively inexpensive, which is important for me.

I tried using Actovegin for wrinkles. I don’t know who this remedy helps; personally, I did not notice any significant positive results. The wrinkles haven't gone away. But, in fairness, I can notice that my complexion has improved a little. The advantages of the drug include its availability.

Actovegin ointment and its analog Solcoseryl contain biological stimulants. The drug is prescribed to accelerate wound healing. The instructions for the ointment regulate its use for the treatment of burns, frostbite, radiation, as well as trophic ulcers, diabetic foot and varicose veins. Is the composition of the ointment really so effective in treatment? And can it be used against wrinkles?

Actovegin – biological stimulant

The action of Actovegin ointment is provided by a biological stimulant of animal origin. This is an extract from the blood of calves, obtained by decomposition of protein structures (its scientific name is deproteinized dialysate). That is, it is free from foreign white, which causes resistance in blood cells and forms an allergic reaction. But at the same time it retained a complex of biologically active components.

Actovegin is a complex biological substance that contains amino acids, oligopeptides, oligosaccharides, macro- and microelements (magnesium, copper), enzymes. All of them have low molecular weight, which means high penetrating ability. The theory of treatment with these biological stimulants is based on the following.

When synthesizing the drug, animal tissue is used (in this case, the blood of calves). It is exposed to destructive factors (high or low temperature, radiation, etc.). Under conditions of unfavorable influence, biological cells form certain changes in their structure aimed at survival. Thus, after heating, cooling or irradiating plasma or serum, active substances are formed in it. When they enter the blood or soft tissues of a person, they promote the regeneration and restoration of cells and organs.

Dialysate is a biological stimulant and antihypoxant (counteracts hypoxia, suffocation, lack of oxygen). Its action is explained by the normalization of oxygen supply. It improves oxygen delivery to cells. In addition, it normalizes glucose absorption.

The combined action of oxygen and glucose improves metabolism and provides additional energy, which is spent on building new cells and strengthening the membranes of old ones. In addition, an increased concentration of amino acids is formed in the area of topical use of Actovegin, which is also necessary for the regeneration of new cells and restoration of old ones. Additionally, increased oxygen in the blood equals increased blood flow. Which helps remove toxins and treat inflammation. Thus, Actovegin ointment is used as a wound healing agent.

In addition to the ability to accelerate wound healing, Actovegin restores nerve tissue. That's why Actovegin cream and ointment are effective for treating diabetic foot and other wounds in diabetics (with this disease the nerves are affected and sensitivity is reduced). Actovegin partially restores nerve damage, and thereby normalizes the transmission of nerve impulses and tissue sensitivity. It is also considered an insulin-like substance (due to improved nutrition and restoration of nerve fibers in diabetics).

What is Actovegin ointment used for?

Actovegin was developed as a means of neurological treatment. However, it quickly expanded beyond its original boundaries and became a means of widespread use in various medical fields. It is prescribed by almost all doctors - diabetologists, ophthalmologists, dentists, cosmetologists, surgeons.

We have already become familiar with the general theory of treatment with biological stimulants. Now let’s turn to the instructions for use, which describe in detail what Actovegin ointment treats in humans.

Actovegin ointment is prescribed for various skin lesions (minor abrasions and scratches, deep wounds). It is applied to open wounds up to 6 times a day.
For any burns — thermal (hot water, steam, electricity), chemical (acid), solar, etc.
For frostbite.
For the treatment of bedsores (damage to soft tissue due to impaired blood supply, constant compression in bedridden patients).
For the treatment of skin irradiation (during radiation therapy), as well as to prevent the consequences of irradiation of the skin or mucous surfaces, it is better to use a gel, but ointment is also possible.
For the treatment of trophic ulcers (their therapy is usually complicated by vascular disorders).
For varicose veins — the ointment is applied to bulging veins under a bandage at night. This increases blood flow and reduces blood stagnation in the veins, reducing their bulging.

The instructions for use for Actovegin ointment say that the effect of its application occurs within 20-30 minutes. In this case, the effectiveness of treatment is determined by the weakening of painful symptoms. Monitoring the presence of therapeutic components in tissues and blood is difficult. They are biological substances and themselves are also present in the human body. At the same time, they are no different from human enzymes, peptides, and trace elements.

Actovegin ointment in cosmetology

Actovegin facial ointment is used as a remedy for acne, blackheads, ulcers, peeling and wrinkles.. Important: the drug contains foreign biological components, which in some cases can cause an allergic reaction. Therefore, if you are using the composition for the first time, don't apply it all over your face at once. Limit yourself to a small area of skin on your cheek or wrist.

The action of Actovegin anti-wrinkle ointment is based on its ability to stimulate the regeneration (formation) of new cells. The ointment composition is effective for fine wrinkles and expression lines, and is weakly effective for deep wrinkles.

Actovegin also restores skin elasticity and improves complexion (due to normalization of blood flow).

In addition to the cosmetic effect, Actovegin is used to treat skin inflammation. The ointment composition is applied to the face to treat acne and acne.

Note: a gel is better suited for treating pustular rashes.

Actovegin ointment in gynecology

The regenerating properties of the ointment and a slight anti-inflammatory effect were found use in the treatment of cervical erosion. The properties of the composition are most fully manifested after the cauterization procedure. For two weeks after it, women are advised to place the ointment with a tampon inside the vagina.

Actovegin ointment is also used to treat ruptures and other perineal injuries after childbirth.. The composition of the ointment is approved for the treatment of pregnant and lactating women. At the same time, it has a high wound healing ability.

Actovegin ointment during pregnancy

Actovegin in tablets and injections is often prescribed during pregnancy to normalize placental circulation. The biological substances of the drug are of natural origin and are found in the human body. Therefore, they are not dangerous for the child developing in the womb.

Actovegin ointment is applied to abrasions and cuts in pregnant women. As well as wounds on the skin and mucous membranes in diabetic women.

Actovegin eye ointment in ophthalmology

In addition to skin ointment, the pharmaceutical industry produces Actovegin eye ointment. In fact, the composition is a gel and is correctly called Actovegin eye gel. Eye gel differs from skin ointment, firstly, in the concentration of Actovegin (it contains 20% of the active substance). And, secondly, the components of the base (less petroleum jelly and fatty components).

Actovegin eye ointment is used to treat burns corneas (eyes - with acids or alkalis, electric arc welding). And also for the treatment of traumatic lesions of the cornea from putting on and wearing contact lenses.

Actovegin: ointment or gel

The pharmaceutical industry produces three forms of Actovegin preparations for external treatment. These are ointments, creams and gels. They are intended for use in various traumatic or inflammatory skin lesions.

Gels – contain a high concentration of the medicinal component. In them - 20% dialysate (while in creams and ointments it's only 5%).

Gels are used for weeping wounds. These can be weeping bedsores, or deep wounds (at first they secrete a lot of ichor). Purulent wounds are also classified as weeping wounds (pus in medicine is called exudate).

Ointment is used for final scarring. Its fatty composition prevents the crusts from drying out and thereby prevents the formation of scars.

Ointment – a preparation for long-term use. After application to the skin, it is absorbed for a long time and supplies biological substances to the cells for a long time. Gels are absorbed quite quickly.

Creams – means for intermediate treatment. In the case of wounds, creams are applied during the initial epithelization period, between the use of gels and ointments.

For the treatment of mucous surfaces, including for dental and ophthalmological practice, use jelly-like gel forms. This is the optimal treatment option, which lasts quite a long time on the surface of the gums, tongue, and inside the mouth (up to half an hour). Neither ointments nor creams remain on the mucous membrane for a long time. They are swallowed along with saliva within the first 5-10 minutes.

Actovegin ointment: analogues

The question of the need to replace a drug with its analogues arises in two cases. Or if the drug is not available in the pharmacy chain (which is quite rare, you can almost always order it online and receive it by mail within one or two days). Or if the price of the drug is quite high, and you want to replace it with something more affordable. How to replace Actovegin ointment?

A traditional substitute for Actovegin ointment is Solcoseryl ointment.. The ointment and gel of this brand also contains dialysate from the blood of calves. It also improves tissue regeneration and has some anti-inflammatory effects.

Solcoseryl ointment or Actovegin - which is better? Solcoseryl in gel form is used in dental treatment, as well as as an eye ointment, and also for weeping bedsores and purulent wounds. Actovegin in ointment form is ineffective for treating mucous membranes and is used for dry wounds in the epithelialization stage, without pus. Ointment is an indispensable option for the treatment of wounds in the last stage, with the formation of crusts. Note: Actovegin ointment has more preservatives, and therefore differs from Solcoseryl in longer storage.

Reviews

Actovegin was recommended by a cosmetologist. I have acne, the cosmetologist said that there will be less acne. And on the Internet it is written that Actovegin is prohibited in America.

It was banned in America due to petitions from animal welfare organizations. For its production, the blood of calves up to 3 months of age is used. How have they not banned meat yet?

The tube of ointment is almost full in the medicine cabinet. The result of its use is weak.

Folks, when I fell off my motorcycle, I applied this stuff to my terribly torn knees. I won’t say that there were no scars left, but the healing process went really quickly. But I will say, without this thing the scars would be twice as big!
