In women over the age of 50, estrogen production decreases sharply, which affects the condition of the skin. 50 years of non-surgical facial rejuvenation is possible with the help of cosmetology methods and competent home care.
Skin care at home after 50 years
Plastic surgery can work wonders, but not all women can afford surgery. But competent skin care at home is available to everyone. The point is to be regular and comprehensive.
Daily care plan:
- Cleaning;
- Tonic;
- Hydration, nutrition;
- UV protection.
It is worth applying nourishing masks twice a week, as well as combining self-massage and surface peeling on the face.
Cosmetics
The set of skin care cosmetics for women over the age of 50 is the same as in previous years. But the composition of the funds must be different.
Need:
- Get rid of skin drying products - alkaline washing foams, alcohol creams;
- Buy protective cosmetics to protect your skin from the negative effects of the sun, wind and frost;
- Replace regular creams and tonics with anti-aging.
For cleansing and toning you will need:
- Micellar water for removing makeup;
- Cleansing milk or cream with the right pH;
- Non-alcoholic tonic;
- Face gum (once every 7-14 days depending on skin type).
It is useful to wipe the face with ice cubes - it tones and refreshes the skin. Chamomile, successional lime decoctions should be used for ice making.
Use of moisturizing and nourishing day and night creams. You will need to purchase a cream for the periorbital region separately, but you can use the same products for the neck as for the face. It is not necessary to buy expensive cream, pharmacy brands are also suitable.
Good anti-aging creams include:
- AHA and BHA acids;
- vitamins (tocopherol, retinol);
- coenzymes;
- Peptides;
- Hyaluronic acid;
- Collagen.
It is better to buy masks ready-made than to make them yourself. After 50 years, nourishing and moisturizing masks are useful.
Self-massage
Massage helps to preserve youth. Ideally, perform by an experienced beautician, but self-massage is not out of the question either.
An effective technique is plastic massage. It provides several types of blows - kneading, stroking, vibration. The process begins with superficial effects and then proceeds to deep kneading.
Basic facial massage techniques:
- To caress. Light stroking movements are performed in the direction of the least stretching lines (massage lines);
- Kneading is superficial. They are performed with four fingers (except the thumb), a movement similar to drawing a spiral with small turns;
- Deep kneading. We do it with all five fingers and one palm, the pressure needs to be more intense;
- tapping. It is done with a fingertip along all massage lines;
- Vibration. It is performed with the lower part of the palm, the movement is from the middle of the sternum along the clavicle to the ear and then towards the temple.
Before the massage, the face is cleansed of cosmetics and powdered with carriage powder. Instead of talc, some beauticians use cosmetic oil.
Another technique is a complex massage tablespoon. The procedure requires the preparation of two containers filled with hot and cold water, a few spoons, and cosmetic oil.
The blow is exerted by the convex part of the spoon. They use stroking, rubbing, light groping techniques. It is advisable to use a silver spoon, but you can also buy a regular one. Warm oil should be applied to the skin before sitting. The effect takes place alternately with a hot and cold spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
Gymnastics
Facial rejuvenation is a controversial way to rejuvenate your face without injections or surgery. Learning exercises at home is not difficult, the point is to have regular classes.
There are various series of exercises on the Internet, but the opinion of our doctors is the same: gymnastics provokes the appearance of facial wrinkles! Therefore, we do not recommend gymnastics, choose in addition to massage.
Salon treatments for facial rejuvenation without surgery
Salons offer a variety of ways to rejuvenate after 55 years without surgery. These are traditional methods (peeling, massage, masks, skin care procedures), injection procedures (introduction of fillers, mesotherapy, biorevitalization) and hardware skin treatment methods.
Lifting
The essence of the non-surgical face and neck rejuvenation technique is to perform skin punctures and introduce synthetic fibers to create a strengthening frame. The effect of the procedural area lasts for 2-4 years.
Lifting with threads is recommended in case of ptosis of facial tissues, sagging cheeks, formation of double chin, change of facial contour, appearance of deep wrinkles.
Polymeric materials, silicone, various acids, platinum and gold are used to make the fibers. The diameter of the fibers does not exceed the thickness of human hair. Once introduced, the thread is not felt or seen by others.
Photorejuvenation
The essence of this procedure is to expose the skin to pulsating light. Radiation is a quantum current provided by eruptions. Different wavelengths are used. The maximum effect of the procedure does not occur immediately, but after the end of the treatment. Thanks to the photorejuvenation procedure, the collagen skeleton and skin structure are strengthened, the face becomes firmer and fine wrinkles are smoothed out.
Advantages of light energy:
- Improves complexion;
- Increases turgor and skin elasticity;
- The synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin begins;
- The pores contract;
- Improves skin lightness;
- Pigment spots lighten.
The technique is not suitable for eliminating all age-related changes. The beautician combines hardware and injection techniques to eliminate deep wrinkles and improve the oval of the face.
laser surface treatment
Laser skin rejuvenation is a procedure that can stop aging and help get rid of acne scars and other skin blemishes. The point is the effect on the epidermis with a laser. The upper layer of cells evaporates, which stimulates regeneration processes.
Grinding is a type of hardware peeling. The procedure can only be performed by a doctor with a higher medical degree and a certificate.
The rehabilitation process lasts up to 4 weeks. But the explicit result covers a long recovery after the procedure.
Thermage
Thermage is a hardware process based on exposure to radio frequency waves or RF radiation. They are performed with a device that emits radio wave energy.
Energy flow destroys old leather structures. As a result, new collagen and elastin fibers are formed, which provide a firming effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, as well as other parts of the body. It is also used to fight cellulite.
Mesotherapy
Injection procedure, the essence of which is the intradermal introduction of special "cocktails". The compositions contain hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, peptides, growth factors and so on.
With the introduction of mesococktails, the following changes will take place:
- The pigment spots disappear;
- Improves complexion;
- The drought disappears, the wrinkles smooth out;
- The micro-relief is balanced.
The medicines are given with very thin needles. A lot of microtrauma is created, which in addition stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and improves blood microcirculation.
Injections
When planning rejuvenation without surgery, many women choose injection procedures. Different drugs are used in cosmetology:
- Hyaluronic acid;
- Mesococktels;
- Botulinum toxins;
- Contour plastic with fillers;
- Bioreparants;
- Preparations based on calcium hydroxyapatite.
The selected drugs are administered by injection. Injection needles or cannulas are used.
Ozone therapy
The face and neck are rejuvenated with the introduction of special oxygen-ozone cocktails. After the procedure, the face gets a fresh look, small wrinkles and pimples disappear. The technique stimulates the production of collagen.
Fractional laser rejuvenation after 50 years as an alternative to plastic
Fractional laser rejuvenation also known as:
- Fractional photothermolysis;
- Fractional peeling;
- Laser nanoperforation.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible with the technique of fractional laser exposure. In terms of the effectiveness of facelift, the procedure is comparable to the use of stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
The procedure must be performed in a suitably certified cosmetology clinic. Improper use of the laser can cause burns and other adverse effects.
Advantages of the method
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of non-surgical facial rejuvenation that has several benefits:
- No severe pain
- Even after a procedure, the effect is noticeable;
- There are no negative side effects;

The patient should alert the beautician to the presence of any chronic disease. Based on this, the person skilled in the art will decide which technique to use.
The essence of the procedure
The technique consists of the action of a laser beam on the deep layers of the skin. In the affected areas, the cells "burn out", which stimulates the regeneration process, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Non-ablative exposure is recommended for women over 50 years of age. The difference is that there is no rehabilitation process. This allows you to smooth out even deep wrinkles without a rehabilitation period.
Effect
The skin will become inflamed in the first days after exposure.
Note:
- In the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- In the first 1-2 days - redness;
- In 2-3 days - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
Your skin will be particularly sensitive to sunlight during the month, so you should apply a protective cream containing SPF before going outdoors.
Once the peeling stops, the effect of the procedure will be noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, skin tighter, face looks fresh. But to get an explicit result, you have to go through a procedure. Their number is determined individually.
What methods are ineffective in this age
A professional beautician will help you choose the right method of rejuvenation.
After 50 years, good effects cannot be achieved by using:
- Light fruit peel;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These procedures are good for young women. After fifty and even sixty years, there is a need for combined techniques that have a pronounced lifting effect and smooth out wrinkles.
Opinions on non-surgical rejuvenation
Opinions on facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive opinions, but there are also those who did not like the procedure.
- "With age, wrinkles and marked spots of old age have appeared. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use non-surgical methods. The beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am happy with the procedure, I went without severe pain and bruising. Already by day 6, the face looked fair, though it was rosier than usual. I can tell you have the result - the eyelids tightened, the wrinkles became smaller, the tiny pigment spots disappeared, but the big ones just turned pale. I will repeat the process later. "
- "I’m afraid to have plastic surgery, so I cared for my skin very carefully. But after 50, the face "collapsed, " a network of faces, a second chin, wrinkles. I chose fractional laser rejuvenation. in the mirror - his face is like a beaten homeless one. Somehow he survived for 3 days and then got better. But he really only "went out to people" after 2 weeks. The wrinkles of the eye are gone, the oval is clear, the nasolabial wrinkles are less deep. The effect is not bad, but for the second time, for the sake of beauty, I dare not endure this pain.
