An effective technique is the plastic massage. Provides different types of impact: kneading, stroking, vibrating. The procedure begins with superficial effects, then moves on to deep kneading.

Warm oil is applied to the skin before the session. The effect is carried out alternately with a cold and a hot spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
An effective way to rejuvenate the face without injections and operations is gymnastics for the muscles of the face. Learning to do exercises at home is not difficult, the important thing is that the lessons are regular.
There are several sets of exercises. Here is one (perform each movement 10 times):
- Take the air in your mouth and distill it in a circle from cheek to cheek, as if you were rolling a ball. First clockwise, then counter.
- Press the corners of your lips firmly with your fingers. Pull your lips forward, as if you want to kiss someone, overcoming the resistance of your fingers.
- Press the outer corners of the eyes with your fingers (with closed eyelids). Open your eyes as much as possible, raising your eyebrows slightly. Hold this position for 5 seconds, then lower your eyelids and relax your muscles.
- Put three fingers on the area between the eyebrows, press firmly. Try to join your eyebrows, frown, overcoming the resistance of your fingers.
- Open your mouth and try to pull your lips inward, as if to hide them behind your teeth. This movement lifts the chin.

While exercising, you may feel a burning sensation on your skin. This is normal, as the muscles work and contract.
Salons offer various ways of rejuvenation after age 55 without surgery. These are both traditional methods (massage, masks), and new methods (introduction of fillers, exposure of hardware).
The essence of the technique of rejuvenation of the face and neck without surgery consists in carrying out punctures of the skin and the introduction of synthetic threads that create a reinforcing frame. The effect of the procedure field lasts 3-4 years.
Lifting with threads is recommended for sagging cheeks, the formation of a second chin, changes in the contour of the face, the appearance of wrinkles.
For the production of threads, polymeric materials, silicone, various acids, platinum, gold are used. The diameter of the wires does not exceed the thickness of a human hair. After the introduction of the thread is not heard and is not visible to others.
The essence of this procedure is the exposure of the skin to pulsed light. Radiation is a quantum flux provided by bursts. The wavelength used is 400-1400 nm. The effect of the procedure appears not immediately, but 6-8 weeks after the completion of the course. During this period, the collagen structure and the skin structure are strengthened, the face is firmed and fine wrinkles are smoothed.
The light energy heats the tissues and destroys the light-sensitive substances. Thereby:
- age spots disappear, complexion improves;
- turgor increases;
- the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin is enhanced.
The technique is not suitable for getting rid of all age-related changes. Other procedures should be used to eliminate deep wrinkles and improve facial contours.
Laser resurfacing is a procedure that can stop aging. The bottom line is the impact on the epidermis with a laser. The top layer of cells is evaporated, which stimulates the regeneration processes.
Grinding is one of the varieties of peeling. But the effect takes place on the deep layers, compared to acid peeling. Only a master with a certificate can carry out the procedure.
This is a hardware procedure based on infrared exposure to the deep layers of the skin. It is performed using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The flow of energy heats the deep layers of the skin to the compaction temperature. As a result, the stretched collagen fibers are stretched, providing a tightening effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, décolleté and other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
An injection procedure, the essence of which is the introduction of special "cocktails" under the skin. Preparations include hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids.
With the introduction of mesococktails, the following changes occur:
- age spots disappear;
- improves complexion;
- dryness is eliminated, wrinkles are smoothed;
- the relief is leveled.
Medicines are administered with very fine needles. Many microtraumas are created, which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin and improve blood microcirculation.
When planning rejuvenation without surgery, many women choose injection procedures. In cosmetology, several preparations are used for injection into the skin:
- hyaluronic acid in combination with peptides;
- botulinum toxin;
- calcium collagen hydroxyapatite.
Selected drugs are administered by injection. Very thin injection needles are used.
Face and neck rejuvenation is carried out by introducing special oxygen-ozone cocktails. After the procedure, the face acquires a fresh look, wrinkles, acne marks disappear. The technique stimulates the production of collagen.
A home alternative to ozone therapy is the hydrogen peroxide facial treatment. However, external exposure is less effective than the injection technique.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible using the fractional laser exposure technique. In terms of effectiveness, the procedure can be compared to the use of stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more convenient.
It is necessary to carry out the procedure in a cosmetology clinic that has the appropriate certificates. Non-specialized use of the laser can cause burns and other adverse effects.
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of facial rejuvenation without surgery, which has many advantages:
- lack of severe pain;
- noticeable effect even after a procedure;
- no negative side effects;
- a short rehabilitation period.
An important plus is an affordable price (8-10 thousand rubles) with a pronounced efficiency. The procedure solves several aesthetic problems at the same time: smoothes wrinkles, tightens, eliminates post-acne scars.
It is recommended to use fractional laser exposure in the presence of the following cosmetic defects:
- wrinkles, even deep;
- sagging skin, loss of a clear oval of the face;
- scars, scars, varicose veins;
- enlarged pores, acne;
- blackheads.
But there are also contraindications. They need to be taken into account, because by the age of fifty, not everyone has iron health. It is forbidden to perform laser rejuvenation in such circumstances:
- large inflamed areas on the face;
- skin infections;
- psoriasis, eczema;
- malignant neoplasms of any localization;
- heart disease;
- epilepsy;
- state of immunodeficiency;
- neurological disorders;
- severe allergic diseases.
The patient should warn the cosmetologist of the presence of any chronic diseases. The specialist on the basis of this decides which technique can be used.
The technique consists in the impact of a laser beam on the deep layers of the skin. Since the beam is divided into many small rays, the effect is only on some microzones, the rest of the tissues remain intact. In the affected areas, the cells are "burned", which stimulates the regeneration process, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women over the age of 50 are recommended to use a non-ablative method of exposure. Its difference is that the deep layers of the dermis are involved in the process. This allows even deep wrinkles to be smoothed out.
During the first week after exposure, the skin will be inflamed. You can see:
- in the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- in the first 1-2 days - redness;
- on day 2-3 - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month your skin will be particularly sensitive to sunlight, so you need to apply a sunscreen before going out.
After the peeling stops, that is, after about a week, the effect of the procedure will become noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin is taut, the face looks fresh. But to get a pronounced result, you need to take a course of sessions. Their number is determined individually.
Assistance in choosing the appropriate rejuvenation method will be provided by a professional cosmetologist.
After 50 years, it will not be possible to achieve a good effect using:
- light fruit peels;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL Facial Rejuvenation.
These treatments are suitable for young women over the age of 30. After fifty and over sixty years, techniques are needed that give a pronounced lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.
Reviews about facelift techniques are mixed - there are many positive opinions, but there are also those who did not like the procedure.
First review
With age, pronounced wrinkles and age spots appeared. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use non-surgical techniques. The beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am satisfied with the procedure, I did it without severe pain and bruising. Already on the 6th day, the face looked decent, although it was more rosy than usual. I can say that there is a result: the eyelids have tightened, the wrinkles have become smaller, the small pigment spots have disappeared, but the large ones have only become pale. I will repeat the process later.
Second review
I am afraid of having plastic surgery so I have been taking care of my skin very carefully. But after the age of 50, the face "collapsed", there were cheeks, a second chin, a network of wrinkles. I opted for fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it was very painful for me, tears were running down my eyes, I could not bear this execution. In the morning I got up and in the mirror I was afraid of myself, a face like that of a beaten homeless man. He somehow survived 3 days, then got better. But he could really "hang out with people" only after 2 weeks. The wrinkles of the eyes disappeared, the oval has become clearer, the nasolabial folds have become less deep. The effect isn't bad, but the second time around, I won't dare endure this pain even for the sake of beauty.
