How to keep your skin young - Botox, Hyaluronic Acid, Anti-Wrinkle Cream, Elos Technology

The Most Effective Poison

Botulinum toxin is the most popular poison against wrinkles. It is also the strongest poison of all organic substances known to science. A certain dose of botulinum toxin, when it enters the body, causes severe toxic damage to the nervous system - botulism. But it is this poison in much smaller doses that has become a powerful weapon in the fight against many neurological diseases, as well as in maintaining the youth and beauty of a woman's face.

There are about seventy muscles in the human face.

Seventeen are used to smile. Forty-three facial muscles are responsible for a frowning expression. Surprise. Joy. Despair. Fear. Any emotion is a muscle pattern on our face. And over time, this pattern leaves a trace in the form of wrinkles - at first barely noticeable, but over time, increasingly deeper.

5 facts about Botox

1. The entire procedure takes about 15 minutes.
2. On average, 5 to 50 injections are made during one procedure.
3. The procedure for introducing botulinum toxin is quite painful: the drug is injected deep - into muscle tissue.
4. First, markings are applied - determining the most active facial muscles that will need to be affected.
5. The effect of the drug lasts for about four months.

But the toxin is still a foreign substance, and poisonous at that. The body produces antibodies that gradually remove it, and the effect of the drug begins to weaken. After a few months, if the procedure is not repeated, the effect will completely disappear.

From what age should you inject hyaluronic acid?

In the fight for youth and beauty, hyaluronic acid preparations are second in popularity. Its deficiency leads to the fact that the oval of the face, as they say, "floats", wrinkles appear, the skin loses tone. Injections help to replenish the reserves of this substance. As is known, protein fibers - collagen and elastin - help our skin remain smooth and elastic. By filling the space between the molecules of these proteins, hyaluronate holds the fibers in the desired position.

From the age of 28 to 30, the body begins to show a deficiency of hyaluronic acid.

5 facts about hyaluronic acid

1. After the procedure, traces of injections remain - about 100 injections are made at a time. Therefore, it is undesirable to plan important events for the coming week. During this time, the gel is evenly distributed between the upper and lower layers of the skin and will maintain the shape of the face for some time.
2. The difficulty lies in introducing the gel into the space between the epidermis and the facial muscle, so the choice of a doctor should be approached especially carefully.
3. Introducing the gel is an almost jewelry procedure.
4. The method is not as painful as botulinum toxin injections, but it takes more time - up to 40 minutes.
5. But to maintain this effect for a long time, the course will have to be repeated after about six months.

How to choose the right cream?

Properly selected creams will help to postpone a visit to a cosmetologist for several months. Although the nutrients they contain are not able to penetrate deeply into the skin (and therefore will not lead to visible changes), they cope with the supporting function.

To choose an effective cosmetic product, you need to learn how to read the label correctly.

Recently, most manufacturers have been enclosing the active ingredients of their cosmetics in liposomes - this improves the depth of penetration into tissues and, accordingly, increases bioavailability.

• Liposomes are microcontainers that transport the active substance into the deep layers of the skin, increasing its effect. The composition of the cream should indicate that it contains a liposomal emulsion.
• The use of creams seems completely harmless, because it is not an operation or even injections. But you shouldn't experiment on yourself - the same hyaluronic acid in the cream is not recommended for people under 30.
• But even a properly selected and proven effective product needs to be changed from time to time. The same rule applies to shampoos, shower gels and soaps - it is advisable to change the brand and type of cosmetic product every six months, maximum once a year.

Collagen cream: composition features

Many people think that anti-wrinkle cream is a cream with collagen. In fact, this is not entirely true. Collagen does make the skin firm, but the thing is that its molecule is much larger than the molecules of our skin, which means it cannot overcome the barrier of the upper stratum corneum, so the manufacturer introduces into the cream not collagen in its pure form, but collagen hydrolyzate - this is the component you need to look for in the cream if you want to get the effect.

Elos technology in detail

Creams and injections are ways of obtaining nutrients from the outside. But in hardware cosmetology, there are methods of activating the body's own forces for their production, for example, elos rejuvenation.

Elos technology is an electro-optical combination of energies or, in other words, the simultaneous effect of light and electric current. Due to the light pulse, the temperature in the tissues increases sharply, which changes the electrical conductivity. Then the heated tissue is subjected to an electric discharge.

• Target cells are those cells that will be destroyed during the procedure. In this case, these are melanocytes and hemoglobin, which in excess form pigment spots or vascular networks.
• As a result of such exposure, pathological vessels die and are excreted by the body as unnecessary tissue, vascular networks disappear. The same thing happens with pigment spots.
• Under the influence of light and heat, the body's own metabolic processes are accelerated, the number of collagen and elastin fibers increases.
• But you need to be prepared for the fact that for some time after the session the skin will look worse.

Elos technology can be used not only for the face. In combination with vacuum massage, this method is used for body care.

The main goal is to reduce volume and remove cellulite. However, this method does not replace sports. Increased muscle work requires a lot of energy. Energy is taken from the reserves of adipose tissue, as a result of which its amount decreases. Training can reduce the overall volume of fat, hardware technologies do not have this effect. But the so-called problem areas often do not give in, no matter how much time a person spends in the gym. I advise resorting to this massage when you are almost happy with your figure and there is very little left to correct.

Removing a couple of centimeters of excess volume is real, but losing two sizes with the help of the procedure is impossible - miracles do not happen.

Recommendations of a cosmetologist

Any cosmetic procedures are only help to our body, they cannot work on their own. It is important to understand that the effect of even the most expensive and effective procedure can be reduced to nothing within a few weeks. It happened that after a chemical peeling, when the entire epidermis is completely renewed, the client went out into the sun and came to us with pigment spots.

Often people become regular patients of beauty salons and medical centers, visiting rejuvenation procedures again and again. At the same time, any anti-aging procedure is stressful for the body. Going to the salon as if on duty is absolutely forbidden! Instead of the long-awaited rejuvenation, you can get the opposite effect.

It is possible to win back a few years of youth from your passport age. Today's level of cosmetology and medicine allows almost everyone to do this, but the fight for youth is not a one-time visit to a beauty salon, it is daily work and work on yourself. And being young and beautiful is everyone's personal choice.
