How to remove facial wrinkles and prevent their reappearance

Expression wrinkles are a consequence of your emotions (joy, laughter, surprise, anger, dissatisfaction, disgust) and basic needs (eating, drinking, talking, blinking, squinting in the sun).

The face may begin to become covered with a superficial mimic mesh as early as 25 years of age. To prevent it from turning into “corrugated paper” in the form of deep folds and creases, start taking care of yourself right now.

Expression wrinkles are erased easily and quickly, all you need is your hands and self-control.

What are expression wrinkles

Expression wrinkles are folds, grooves or creases that appear on facially active areas of the face. Most often they are noticeable only at the moment of expression of emotions. When the face takes on a neutral expression, they disappear.

Typically, expression lines appear between 25 and 30 years of age. In people with particularly active facial expressions, they may appear earlier, even in adolescence.

Stand in front of the mirror and try on different emotions.

• Smile or laugh. Do you see the nasolabial folds and crow's feet near the eyes?
• Roll your eyes in surprise. These are your horizontal forehead wrinkles.
• Now frown. Do vertical folds appear on the bridge of your nose and between your eyebrows? Maybe they have already crawled into the areas above the eyebrows and onto the upper eyelids?
• The next task is to purse your lips in anger. Already noticeable vertical grooves above the upper and under the lower lip - purse-string wrinkles? And from the corners of the mouth to the chin there were folds - marionette wrinkles?
• Finally, try the signature number - the mask of disgust. To do this, you need to wrinkle your nose and purse your lips. This emotion holds the record for the number of muscles involved. From one of them, hare wrinkles appear on the nose, crow's feet near the eyes, folds on the lower eyelids, purse-string wrinkles around the mouth, and nasolabial folds.

I experimented once, and that was enough. Active facial expressions are the root cause of the appearance of facial wrinkles. I have studied the problem clearly - now try to strain your facial muscles less without reason.

Magic injections

As soon as expression lines begin to appear on your face, it’s time to get botulinum toxin injections. Injections of Botox, Dysport, Relatox, Xeomin and their analogues are the most famous cosmetic procedure, which even those who have never been to a cosmetologist have heard about. There are many myths associated with it. For example, some believe that one injection is enough to get rid of wrinkles forever, while others believe that injections poison the body. There is a very common fear that injections will turn the face into a motionless mask, completely “freezing” facial expressions. Let's figure out how such drugs actually work on a person.

Muscle relaxants—drugs that relax muscles—really contain a powerful toxin. However, as Avicenna said, everything is poison, and everything is medicine. Botulinum toxin is deadly when administered in large doses, measured in hundreds of thousands of units, but if up to 100 units of botulinum neurotoxin are injected into the facial muscles, the toxic substance will not cause any harm. On the contrary, this is the most effective method of getting rid of facial wrinkles in an absolutely harmless way.

Botulinum toxin blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscle, as a result the muscle tissue relaxes and the skin over it smoothes out. The effect increases over two weeks as the effect of the toxin stabilizes. In this case, no other tissues are affected; the toxin acts exclusively on the nerve fibers in the muscles into which they were injected.

If the dose is taken correctly, then the facial expressions do not disappear completely, but only become slightly less pronounced. This is quite enough to straighten the skin. “Frozen”, “inanimate” faces are a sign of unprofessional work of a cosmetologist.

A qualified doctor will correctly calculate the dose to avoid this effect. As a rule, they start with a minimal amount of botulinum toxin, and then, if necessary, give additional injections after a couple of weeks.

All muscle relaxants based on botulinum toxin act the same. The only difference is in the concentration of the active substance, so the calculation of the required number of units of Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Relatox is carried out using different formulas. However, this does not affect the final result and the cost of the procedure (less concentrated preparations are cheaper than more concentrated ones).

You won't be able to get rid of facial wrinkles forever using muscle relaxant injections. Over time, the nerve tissue is restored and the muscles regain mobility. As a rule, this takes from 3 to 6 months. You can repeat the procedure in the future.

A pleasant side effect of injections of muscle relaxants is that people wean themselves from overly active facial expressions and do not return to them even after the effect of the drug wears off. As a result, the skin is smoothed and wrinkles do not appear for a long time.

Causes of facial wrinkles

Facial expressions are the transmission of emotions using a certain facial expression. What makes this expression possible? Thanks to the work of the facial muscles. They especially try:

• orbicularis oculi muscle,
• orbicularis oris muscle,
• frontalis muscle,
• pride muscle (on the bridge of the nose),
• nasal muscle.

Every time we change our facial expression, some facial muscles are activated, and after them the skin is forced to move.

This continues day after day, year after year.

Some muscles work continuously even when there is no emotion. Here the record holders are the orbicularis oculi muscle and the orbicularis oris muscle. Just imagine how much they have to work to maintain basic physiological processes! A person blinks 15-20 times a minute, talks constantly, and chews for several hours a day.

What happens to muscles from constant work? They overexert themselves and spasm. Muscle spasm is a condition in which a muscle becomes shorter and loses its ability to stretch to its natural length (due to loss of elasticity).

At the same time, the skin area is preserved and even increases over the years (from constant movement back and forth following the contracting muscles).

Now solve a simple example. Shortened muscle plus stretched skin equals...The correct answer is: wrinkles.

For example, the orbicularis oculi muscle is so active that it gets tired in just one day: the eyes look older in the evening, and crow's feet become more pronounced.

And with age, the skin develops its own problems, the main negative consequence of which is loss of elasticity. A cavalcade of processes leads to this:

• deterioration of blood supply to cells,
• reduction in the production by fibroblasts of components responsible for elasticity and strength (collagen, elastin), hydration and protection (hyaluronic acid),
• disruption of the structure of collagen and elastin fibers (stretching, fractures, tears),
• thinning of the hydro-lipid mantle on the stratum corneum.

What kind of skin do you think is more likely to succumb to wrinkling, following the facial muscles shortened from hypertonicity - elastic or flabby? Of course, flabby.

Types of facial wrinkles

In which areas of the face are facial expressions most involved?

This is where the main facial wrinkles are formed.

Is it possible to do without injections?

You can see cosmetics “with the Botox effect” on sale. It is assumed that they can replace injections, but, unfortunately, miracles do not happen: creams and serums act only on the superficial layers of the epidermis, without penetrating deeper.

The effect of smoothing the skin can be achieved through hydration, but in most cases this is not enough to get rid of pronounced expression lines.

The effect of botulinum toxin injections can be prolonged if you follow the recommendations of a cosmetologist and use special pharmacy cosmetics.

It is also unlikely that you will be able to hide the defect with the help of makeup. On the contrary, a thick layer of makeup will only emphasize the folds. For this reason, it is better to eliminate wrinkles rather than try to disguise them.

Preventing the appearance of facial wrinkles

Probably the best way to prevent the appearance of expression lines is to walk with a frozen face. Don’t express emotions, and it’s better not to blink, don’t speak, don’t chew.

These are, of course, comic fantasies. Self-control is possible and necessary, but only within certain limits.

What actions that overload our facial muscles can we safely avoid:

1. from bad facial habits: raising eyebrows (wrinkling forehead), frowning, squinting, pursing or curling lips, etc.,
2. from chewing gum,
3. from drinking drinks through a straw.

Think again about what basic actions will help you relieve your facial muscles.

You can also delay the appearance of facial wrinkles using various devices. For example, glasses. Have you ever wondered how they affect wrinkles?

• Prescription glasses or contact lenses are necessary for people with visual impairments to avoid squinting.
• Sunglasses are a salvation from overstrain of the orbicularis oculi muscle in the sun.
• Computer glasses – protect the thinnest and most vulnerable eye skin from harmful radiation.

And eliminate all factors that lead to premature loss of skin elasticity:

• smoking,
• excess ultraviolet radiation: sun and solarium,
• “food waste”, overeating/undereating, unbalanced diet,
• shortage of clean drinking water (less than 2 liters per day),
• physical inactivity,
• stress, overwork, lack of sleep,
• habit of stooping, taking incorrect postures during work, rest, sleep,
• "punitive" cosmetology,
• insufficient or improper skin care,
• abuse of cosmetics.

If facial wrinkles are not noticed in time, this fine surface mesh will eventually turn into static folds - permanent and deep. Fighting them is much more difficult.

Are you already noticing expression lines on your face? Don't miss the moment. You can erase expression lines with your own hands in just 2-3 weeks, and then maintain the result for years.

Fighting wrinkles before they appear: proper daily care

Below are tips from a dermatologist that will help prevent the formation of wrinkles on the face.

• Maintain a drinking regime - sufficient water consumption will help prevent skin dehydration and the occurrence of wrinkles.
• Eat a balanced diet, enrich your diet with fresh vegetables and fruits, rich in vitamins and minerals that will strengthen and rejuvenate your skin from the inside.
• Try to control your facial expressions. By instilling in yourself the habit of monitoring the emotions reflected on your face, you can minimize the static appearance of skin wrinkles.
• Do not stretch your facial skin when removing makeup or self-massage; movements should be light and directed strictly along the massage lines.
• Get enough sleep! During proper sleep, skin cells intensively regenerate and are saturated with active components from the night cream formula.
• Starting from the age of 25, a corrective beauty routine should include mandatory stages of care: cleansing twice a day, toning, basic anti-aging care (day and night cream, serums), weekly exfoliation, the use of intense moisturizing and nourishing masks.
• Pay attention to sunscreen filters in your day cream. Ultraviolet protection with SPF of at least 30 is an essential component of skin care at any age.
• Choose cosmetics suitable for mature skin. Look for the following ingredients in anti-wrinkle formulas: hyaluronic acid, thermal water, peptides, antioxidants (vitamin C, E), retinol (vitamin A) and its derivatives. They promote deep hydration and thickening of the epidermis, and also stimulate the synthesis of natural collagen and elastin, increasing skin turgor.

Salon treatments against expression wrinkles

The beauty of expression lines is that they are just the beginning of age-related changes, so you can easily remove them yourself using simple self-massage techniques and exercises.

But the problem is that the cosmetology industry, from a young age, instills in women a dependence on injections, threads, scalpels, and hardware techniques.

How do cosmetologists suggest dealing with facial wrinkles?

First of all, with the help of Botox injections and fillers - they promise the most pronounced effect.

In fact, botulinum therapy and contour plastic surgery

– these are the most radical cosmetic options for removing facial wrinkles, which are detrimental to youth.

Other salon methods are less dangerous, but often they either give a weak effect or do not give it at all.

What are these techniques?

• Biorevitalization, mesotherapy, plasma lifting.
  All these are techniques based on multiple injections of the face with drugs that supposedly activate the physiological processes necessary for youthful skin. How do they actually work? Look for the answers in the next chapter.
• Hardware techniques.
  With their help, the skin is exposed to lasers, radio waves, electric currents, infrared rays, light, cold, etc. It is stated that hardware techniques trigger skin renewal processes and tighten the collagen-elastin framework. But, as a rule, they are based on controversial principles of influence, have a weak effect and are associated with risks.

We have compiled a kind of anti-rating of cosmetic methods for eliminating facial wrinkles. Cosmetologists call them the best, and we talk about them without embellishment.

Getting rid of fine wrinkles around the eyes

The first fine wrinkles in the form of a mesh can be noticed around the eyes already at the age of 20–25 years. At first they are practically invisible, but with age they become deeper and more pronounced. What to do if, at the age of 25, small expression wrinkles were discovered in the eye area, and how to get rid of them?

As you know, the skin in this area is very thin and particularly sensitive. It reacts to any aggressive influence, both internal (toxic and other harmful substances) and external (cold, sun, wind). That is why it is necessary to use special cosmetics to protect and care for this area of ​​the face. As for facial wrinkles, here you just need to try to control your emotions.

When caring for the skin around the eyes, it is recommended to adhere to the following rules:

• nourish and moisturize the skin daily;
• Do not use soap, alcohol-containing products or resort to peeling;
• wear hats and wide sunglasses in appropriate weather;
• eliminate bad habits;
• drink less before bed to avoid swelling;
• give your eyes a rest.

You can get rid of wrinkles, including small ones, with the help of gels and creams based on hyaluronic acid or retinol, which contain vitamins C and E. They should be selected according to age and skin type.

A professional cosmetologist will tell you how to deal with fine wrinkles on the face faster and better. As a rule, for this purpose, experts offer procedures such as:

• mesotherapy;
• biorevitalization;
• filling.

All of the above activities involve the use of injections. In the first case, a gel is injected under the skin, which consists of amino acids, vitamins, hyaluronic acid and other active substances. If we talk about biorevitalization, then during the manipulation pure hyaluronic acid is used, which is delivered to certain layers of the epidermis.

During fillering, a gel is used based on the same component, but of different viscosity, selected in each case individually in accordance with the condition of the skin. All of the listed methods for smoothing out wrinkles can be used by young and middle-aged women. As for people with mature skin and deep folds, they may not help them.

To prolong the youth of the dermis, it is necessary to take care of it, that is, make compresses and masks that contain only natural ingredients.

You can also get rid of small wrinkles around the eyes using folk remedies. The most effective recipes are the following:

• Mix olive oil, sea buckthorn oil and “Tocopherol” in equal parts (0.5 tsp each) in a container. Apply the resulting mixture to the skin around the eyes and leave for 30 minutes. After this time, pat your face dry with a napkin, but do not wash your face.
• Take ripe apricots and peel them, you only need the pulp. It must be placed in gauze and applied to the eye area, which must be closed during the procedure. You need to hold on for as long as you can. After this, remove the gauze from your face and rinse your skin with warm water.
• Every day, before going to bed, apply a mixture of aloe juice and honey in equal parts to the wrinkles. There is no need to rinse off the product.
• You can also get rid of fine wrinkles using raw potatoes. It must be finely chopped and thick cream added in a 1:2 ratio. Apply a thick layer to the area where there are fine wrinkles and leave for half an hour. After this, blot the skin with napkins.
• Take chamomile flowers and parsley seeds, mix and steam in fat milk. Apply a napkin, gauze or cotton pad soaked in the resulting solution to the problem areas.

In this case, you need to understand that in order to achieve results, the means listed above must be used regularly. They will be effective in getting rid of expression lines and wrinkles of medium depth.

Masks made from natural products will help you deal with wrinkles very quickly. Most often, just one month is enough. However, to obtain a positive result, you must use the funds according to the rules.

• Masks should be applied immediately after they have been prepared. You cannot leave them for several times, so they are done immediately before use. The fact is that the natural components included in the composition lose their beneficial properties very quickly.
• The skin must be cleansed before application. In this case, the effectiveness of the procedure increases significantly, since the pores open and it is easier for active substances to penetrate inside.
• Don't use masks too often. It is allowed to use home remedies no more than twice a week, otherwise metabolic processes in the epidermis may slow down.
• The product must be changed every two weeks. If you use the same masks constantly, you will not get the desired result.
• To increase effectiveness, you should use compresses made from herbal tinctures or herbal lotions. When getting rid of age wrinkles, sage, chamomile, calendula, horsetail, and string help.
• Herbal lotions and tonics should be used after applying masks.

As a rule, plants that have a healing and soothing effect are used after natural masks in order to prevent irritation and redness.

For the production of these cosmetics, herbs, honey, berries, and vegetables are most often used. They help get rid of wrinkles, slow down the aging process, and improve skin condition. However, you need to remember that some natural products can cause an allergic reaction in some people.

Top 10 “best” cosmetic methods for eliminating facial wrinkles

The first five positions are injection methods, from 6 to 10 are hardware methods.

1. Botox injections
   The facial muscle is paralyzed by the powerful poison botulinum toxin. It loses mobility, lengthens and stops breaking the skin. The effect lasts 4-6 months.

   This is the most aggressive way.

   Botox is:

   • A blow to beauty.
     The face turns into a lifeless mask, devoid of the ability to express emotions. Common side effects are terrible swelling, asymmetry, bumps, numbness, ptosis (tissue drooping). Injected Botox into the forehead - the eyelids and eyebrows “fell” into the eyes; I wanted to remove purse-string wrinkles above my upper lip - my mouth became distorted and “floated” down on one side, etc.

   A blow to youth.
   By “disabling” one or more muscles on the face, Botox creates an unbearable load on other muscles and provokes their spasm. The face ages before its time: new wrinkles and creases appear, old ones worsen, the skin becomes flabby and sags. Her condition worsens under the weight of lymph, the outflow of which is disrupted due to the aggression of botulinum toxin.

2. A blow to health.
   The strongest neuroparalytic poison lingers in your body for years, wanders wherever it pleases, and can cause paralysis of any organ. The list of complications includes blindness, speech and swallowing dysfunction, osteoporosis of the skull, disruption of the cranial nerves and nerve centers of the heart. And such “little things” as migraines and persistent headaches are not even considered a “side effect”.
3. Filler injections (contour plastic surgery)
   Unlike Botox, fillers work not at the muscle level, but at the skin level. Essentially, these are fillers for the dermis, which in the form of a gel settle in it for several months. They forcefully invade the skin, literally push it, push it apart.

   Fillers turn beautiful women into identical “muckles” with bloated, disproportionate, ugly faces. In addition, the gel migrates beyond the injection, can become inflamed, “kill” tissues and blood vessels, and cause many other complications.

   What happens when the filler dissolves? The skin stretched by it will become even more wrinkled and flabby, and will also be dehydrated. Molecules of hyaluronic acid (the active ingredient of the most popular filler) will draw all the moisture upward, which is why the skin will seem moisturized for some time, but in fact, in the deep layers it will dry out like a lake in abnormal heat.

4. Mesotherapy
   This is torture with injections. During one session, 200-300 injections are given to the face. At this point you look like a bleeding bubble wrap. This is a powerful attack on the face, hundreds of gates for the penetration of infections, the development of inflammation, the appearance of rashes, and ulcers.

   Moreover, you need to endure the torment for several months, about once a week. One course includes up to 20 sessions.

   Mesotherapy is a life sentence. It is “recommended” to take such courses 1-2 times a year, and between them come to the cosmetologist for maintenance sessions.

   How does mesotherapy work?

   Cosmetologists will say that the meso-cocktails they inject you with activate the production of youthful skin components.

   In fact, the main effect is achieved through multiple needle injuries. Because of them, the skin becomes scarred from the inside. These fibrous compactions create a connective tissue framework that prevents the skin from folding. If you stop regularly injuring your face with needles, your skin will stretch and become wrinkled even more than before.

5. Biorevitalization
   This is almost the same as mesotherapy. It differs only in the composition of the substance administered. In the case of biorevitalization, there is only one active substance – synthetic hyaluronic acid.
6. Plasmalifting
   The procedure belongs to the same category of techniques as biorevitalization and mesotherapy: multiple punctures of the skin, which creates an unhealthy fibrous framework due to scarring of injury areas.

   Only here your own plasma with a high concentration of platelets is injected into your face.

7. Thermolifting (thermage)
   Due to exposure to radio frequencies, the temperature in the dermis increases. With the help of such a thermal jump, the old “stretched” collagen is destroyed and the process of forming a new one begins.

   But you must understand that your skin will warm up to 60˚C. Have you ever tried to put your hand in water at this temperature? Try it - it’s hard to endure even a few seconds. Facial Thermage lasts on average 45 minutes.

   Are you ready to get burned, that is, to literally destroy and kill your cells? There are such risks. Complications of tarmage also include bruising, swelling, and intradermal scars.

   Thermolifting is a more aggressive technique than the similar RF lifting.

8. RF lifting
   Like Thermage, the mechanism of action of RF lifting is heating using radio wave radiation. But here the temperature is lower: up to 40˚C, that is, the procedure is softer. On the other hand, not 1-2 sessions are required, as with thermage, but much more. An RF lifting course can consist of 10-20 procedures, and then you need to come back for maintenance sessions a couple of times a year.

   If during Thermage there is a deep effect, right down to the subcutaneous fat and even muscles, then RF lifting affects only the dermis.

   A more gentle approach is not a guarantee that your skin will begin to function as it did in youth.

   Firstly, the problem of muscle spasms has not been solved. The only possible effect of the procedure is a short-term improvement in the condition of the skin, and this is not enough to eliminate facial wrinkles.

   Secondly, what will happen to your skin later? Will she be able to work without such shocks, at least at the same level, or will she begin to age faster? And if you regularly give her such heat attacks, then until what point will they have an effect, and then stop?

   There are too many unknowns and risks.

9. Fractional thermolysis
   As in the case of Thermage and RF lifting, there is an impact using high temperatures: the skin is damaged, and cell renewal is stimulated in these places. Only it is not radio waves that work, but lasers.

   Burns, swelling, internal scars - everything is valid, as well as the dubious future of your skin.

10. Laser or chemical peeling
    This is a strong polishing of the skin. Wrinkles seem to be peeled off along with the top layer of skin. The effect is weak.

    Regardless of whether peeling is done with laser or acid, the skin gets burned. The procedure has a long healing period (several weeks), there is a danger of infection and pigmentation.

11. Ionopheresis
    Cosmetic preparations are applied to the skin, then they are exposed to very weak galvanic currents, which help deliver substances to the skin. As explained, the molecules of cosmetic preparations are ionized and penetrate cells more easily. In fact, this is an ineffective remedy in the fight against expression wrinkles.

Getting rid of small forehead and eyebrow wrinkles

Most often, such problems can be detected at the age of 20 and older, but wrinkles become more noticeable after 30 years. The reason, as a rule, is poor care, age-related changes and facial expressions. Vertical folds located between the eyebrows appear initially as facial folds, and also in those who often frown and wince.

If we talk about how to get rid of fine wrinkles in this area, then you need to remember that this part of the face needs regular moisturizing and cleansing, so you need to do a light home peeling two to three times a week, which will remove dead cells and renew the skin . As a result, small folds are also reduced. After such a procedure, the skin should be lubricated with a nourishing cream appropriate for the type of dermis. A mandatory procedure in this case is a forehead massage using natural oils.

To properly care for the skin on your forehead, you must adhere to the following recommendations:

• every day the skin must be cleansed of dirt, dust and cosmetics;
• Exfoliate two to three times a week (at home or in the salon);
• use nourishing and moisturizing gels, serums, compresses, creams and masks;
• massage the eyebrow and forehead area;
• provide forehead protection from exposure to cold, ultraviolet radiation and wind.

Getting rid of fine and other types of wrinkles in this area is quite difficult at home, so it is better to seek help from a specialist who can offer the following procedures:

• laser polishing;
• Botox injections;
• ozone therapy;
• biorevitalization;
• thread lifting.

Ozone therapy, laser resurfacing and biorevitalization are excellent for combating small and shallow facial folds. However, they are unlikely to help patients who experience more severe skin changes associated with age. It is better for these representatives of the fair sex to resort to thread lifting and Botox injections.

Once Botox is injected under the skin, it blocks neuromuscular impulses, causing certain muscles to stop moving or become smoother. However, it has no effect on improving the condition of the epidermis and other layers of the dermis, as well as on rejuvenation. It allows you to achieve only a visual result. Botulinum therapy will be a real salvation for those who are not helped by other methods of getting rid of fine and other types of wrinkles, but it is too early to resort to plastic surgery.

However, you need to know that Botox injections have contraindications and can cause life-threatening side effects.

Thread lifting is used at the age of 40–50 to get rid of deep wrinkles caused by sagging skin. This procedure involves implanting special threads under the dermis that prevent it from sagging, creating an invisible frame. In this case, there are also contraindications that you need to know about before resorting to thread lifting.

It is worth noting that if you start fighting fine wrinkles on time, you can actually get rid of them even at home. For this purpose, masks, peelings, and compresses are used, which contain exclusively natural products. These products will help get rid of small expression lines and wrinkles of medium depth.

In order to cope with skin problems in the forehead and between the eyebrows, you can use the following folk recipes:

• Oil-based compress. In this case, you need to mix grape, olive, peach oil (1 tsp each) and honey (0.5 tsp). Heat the resulting composition in a water bath and apply to the forehead and between the eyebrows. Cover the top with cellophane, a napkin, a thick towel and leave for half an hour.
• Peeling with tomatoes. This vegetable contains a large amount of glycolic acid, so it can be used for light peeling. The procedure is quite simple: take the pulp and apply it to problem areas, leave for 30–40 minutes, rinse with water. After this, be sure to lubricate the skin with nourishing cream.
• Oatmeal scrub. Take the flakes, grind them, add chicken yolk and olive oil (1 tsp). Apply the resulting mixture to the problem area using massage movements and leave for 25 minutes.

In order to get rid of small wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows on your own, home procedures should be carried out every day. Do not forget that after peeling it is necessary to moisturize the skin and apply a nourishing cream.

Is it possible to remove facial wrinkles with cosmetics?

To erase expression lines from the face, cosmetic care is necessary. But it will only work effectively as an addition to the main anti-aging method - facial exercises. You also need to watch your posture, lead an active and healthy lifestyle, develop good habits instead of bad ones - remember?

Don’t expect a Photoshop effect from cosmetics, even if the cream packaging says “filler.” But don't ignore her either. Regular cosmetic care (twice a day) is one of the prerequisites for youthful skin.

It is easier to overcome expression wrinkles than age wrinkles. Connect cosmetics:

• Morning and evening, moisturize and nourish the skin with creams, oils, squalane, and balms. Make sure that they contain anti-aging components: fatty acids, vitamins A, B, C, E and other “catalysts” for dermal renewal.
  Go to the online store www.beauty365.ru and choose natural Beauty365 cosmetics there: coconut oil, camellia sasanqua oil, squalane (sugar cane oil), Verbena hemp balm (contains oils and oil extracts of hemp, coconut, shea butter, pistachio, calendula, carrot seeds). All these remedies help fight expression lines.

• Make sure that cosmetic care does not dry out the skin. Usually this danger is fraught with cleansing and bleaching products. Be careful in choosing them.
  It copes with its tasks perfectly and at the same time acts carefully as natural cosmetics. It does not take away moisture, but, on the contrary, moisturizes the skin, even when it needs to be cleansed and whitened.

  So, to cleanse your skin, choose hydrolates (plant distillates). They perfectly remove makeup, dust, excess fat and at the same time moisturize. You apply the product to a cotton pad, wipe your face with it, and no tap water is needed. Try Beauty365 lavender, sage and mint hydrosols (sold at www.beauty365.ru).

  You can whiten age spots using Beauty365 camellia sasanqua oil, which also has a rejuvenating effect.

The main thing is to choose an experienced specialist. The specialists at Dr. Novikov’s center have been working in the field of laser medicine and cosmetology for many years and will help you choose the optimal course of procedures depending on your wishes and skin condition.

Getting rid of fine wrinkles around the mouth and chin

In this area of ​​the face, wrinkles appear much later, but they are more noticeable and therefore negatively affect the appearance. If there is such a problem, then you will need the help of a professional cosmetologist.

There are the following ways to combat these wrinkles:

• mesotherapy;
• biorevitalization;
• botulinum therapy;
• lipofilling;
• peeling (laser and chemical);
• implantation of mesothreads.

Methods of getting rid of fine and other types of wrinkles that use injections (lipofilling, mesotherapy, biorevitalization) are aimed at launching rejuvenation processes.

After using compresses or masks, the skin must be lubricated with a nourishing cream. It is preferable to do this with massage movements in the direction from the center of the lips to the edge of the face. If you use a full massage, you can forget about such a problem as wrinkles for a long time.

How to maintain the effect for a long time

As we have already found out, the effect of Botox and its analogues lasts only for a few months. If you carefully follow your doctor’s recommendations, you can forget about wrinkles for a longer period.

To do this, in the first 5-7 days after injections you should avoid:

• Thermal procedures (this includes visiting a bathhouse, sauna, solarium, warming masks, drying hair with a hairdryer, staying in hot rooms or in the sun);
• Intense sports;
• Massage;
• Any cosmetic procedures;
• Drinking alcohol;
• Eating hot, spicy food.

It is advisable even after the expiration of two weeks to avoid physical activity and heating the treated areas - this reduces the effect of the procedure. For those who play sports professionally, botulinum toxin injections are not recommended for this very reason.

It is especially important to follow the cosmetologist’s recommendations on the first day after administration of the drug. For at least several hours, you should not take a horizontal position, touch the treated areas with your hands, or drink alcohol. It is not recommended to actively frown your eyebrows, wrinkle your forehead, or squint your eyes - unless the attending physician asks for it. Taking a number of medications is prohibited.

If you follow all the rules, you can get rid of facial wrinkles for at least several months. Subsequently, injections are repeated if necessary.
