What types of peelings are there and what is radio wave lifting? A cosmetologist talks about popular cosmetic procedures
Autumn is the best time to improve the condition of the skin after a hot summer, saturate it with moisture, remove dead cells and nourish the skin with vitamins. Natalia Vorontsova , a cosmetologist, neurologist, physiotherapist and trainer in injection techniques and professional cosmetics, we will analyze several methods that you can take a closer look at in the fall.
Peeling
Peeling is the king of autumn. This procedure helps increase skin elasticity, get rid of minor skin defects and improve complexion. You can’t do peeling in the warm season: exactly how ultraviolet radiation will affect the delicate, renewed skin is difficult to predict, but nothing good will definitely happen.
The meaning of the procedure is that the top layer of skin will be removed mechanically (ultrasound, vacuum, laser, scrubs with abrasives) or chemically (organic acids of varying concentrations), and restoration processes will be activated.
5 natural autumn masks
- Viburnum mask for acne prevention Soak a cloth with freshly squeezed viburnum juice and apply it to the face (avoiding the eyelid area) for 15-20 minutes. Then rinse off the mask and apply moisturizer to the skin.
- Sea buckthorn mask for dry skin
Mix one tablespoon of sea buckthorn gruel with egg yolk and a teaspoon of honey. Apply the mixture to a slightly steamed face for 6-10 minutes, then rinse with warm water. This mask nourishes the skin well and helps keep your tan longer. - Apple-potato mask for oily skin
Mix grated apple with mashed jacket potatoes and 1-2 tablespoons of milk. Apply the resulting paste to the face and neck for 20 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. - Semolina scrub for sensitive skin
Mix semolina with olive oil (at the rate of one teaspoon of semolina per one teaspoon of oil) and apply with rubbing movements onto the face, lips and décolleté. After 5 minutes, rinse with warm water and wipe the skin dry. - Pumpkin mask for all hair types
Mix 200-300 grams of pumpkin, crushed to a paste, with olive oil (one tablespoon), apply the mixture to the hair, wrap it in plastic, and then with a towel. After 20-30 minutes, rinse your hair with shampoo. This mask will give your hair shine and silkiness. The procedure can be repeated once a week for a month.
Peeling can be superficial, medium and deep. The superficial peeling procedure is prescribed in the absence of pronounced skin problems. It can be carried out both at home - masks with a low content of fruit acids or scrubs with solid particles that act as “gentle sandpaper” (it is no coincidence that the process of applying them involves a light massage), or in the salon - superficial chemical or enzymatic peeling.
Other types of peeling are carried out only in salons. Uncontrolled use of professional medium peeling products is dangerous for the skin. And deep peeling is even carried out with anesthesia - it actually involves cutting or burning the skin to a certain depth and is done only for age and medical reasons.
Hardware cosmetology for autumn skin regeneration
The youth and health of the skin depends on the supply of moisture and nutrients in the skin cells. With age, even with a balanced diet, conventional care with masks and creams becomes insufficient. If you want to increase the effectiveness of medicinal and cosmetic products in the fall, use hardware cosmetology procedures.
Carrying out ultraphonophoresis, iontophoresis, microcurrent therapy will help deliver useful components of cosmetics from the surface of the epidermis to the deep layers of the dermis.
The procedures are based on the use of ultrasound and currents of ultra-low amplitude and frequency. The popularity of hardware techniques is based on simplicity, accessibility, minimum contraindications, and the ability to solve a wide range of aesthetic problems.
What care is effective in autumn?
An autumn skin care routine should include cleansing, moisturizing, nutrition and massage. Modern cosmetology offers solutions and products for all skin types of the face and body. It is important to select masks, creams, and care products taking into account the type, age, and condition of the skin.
If you want to achieve a noticeable rejuvenation effect, eliminate age spots, fine wrinkles, dryness, peeling, you cannot do without hardware procedures and massage with a lifting effect.
Treatment of weakened hair
Those who strictly followed the summer instructions to “rinse your hair with fresh water after the sea, wear a hat and eat more yellow vegetables and fruits rich in beta-carotene” will probably skip this point. If in the summer the hair became closely acquainted with the wind, heat and sea water, then in the fall it will require special attention. First you need to get rid of split ends, and then start restoring the structure of damaged hair. For normal skin that is slightly dry and has lost its shine, a course of 4-6 homemade masks is usually enough, but for more serious problems it is better to go to a salon and pick up concentrated medical serums.
What imperfections most often appear on the skin after the summer season?
Heat and constant use of air conditioners are the main causes of TEWL (transepidermal water loss), which leads to dry skin. In addition, in the summer our skin is constantly exposed to solar radiation, which triggers the process of photoaging.
In summer, sweating also increases, our sebum and dust get into the pores and, as a result, blackheads and rashes appear. Comedogenic sunscreens or foundation often worsen skin conditions. That is why, after the summer season, our skin needs cleansing and quality home care.

Prevention of rosacea
With the onset of cold weather, spider veins and spider veins on the face begin to make themselves known. Before temperature changes indoors and outdoors become critical, it is worth taking preventive measures: increase the intake of vitamin C in the body, take ascorutin or other blood-strengthening drugs in consultation with your doctor, start using creams and ointments to prevent rosacea and, finally, remove old “ asterisks” using the already mentioned phototherapy or laser.

Autumn skin rejuvenation: procedures, methods, methods
Modern cosmetology offers a wide range of products, injection and hardware techniques to restore the beauty and youth of the skin.
In the fall, cosmetologists recommend undergoing the following procedures: • professional facial cleansing using vacuum, laser, ultrasound technology, brushing and disincrustation to cleanse the pores of the skin;
• peeling using a weak solution of glycolic, mandelic, pyruvic, trichloroacetic acid to remove keratinized epithelial cells;
• face lift using massage techniques and SPA treatments to restore the clarity of the facial contour.
How to restore skin damaged by sun rays?
It is easier to prevent any problems than to treat them later. Follow these simple tips:
- Drinking plenty of fluids, active serums, masks, and gels with moisturizing ingredients will help prevent dry skin.
- You can prevent the appearance of wrinkles by applying sunscreen daily.
- Reducing your use of cosmetics with photosensitizing ingredients is the best way to help your skin cope with sun damage. If medications are necessary, apply them in the evening.
- Simple daily care will help reduce the likelihood of age spots, wrinkles, and dry skin.
Contour plastic.
Contour plastic surgery is a minimally invasive aesthetic surgery technique based on creating a frame under the skin from heavy-duty threads or filling wrinkles with special biocompatible gels (fillers or fillers).
Types of contour plastic surgery:
- Thread lifting (facial rejuvenation with fillers) with the introduction of strong surgical threads under the skin, for the treatment of which lactic acid is used.
- Injection contouring, in which wrinkles are filled with fillers based on hyaluronic acid or polycaprolactone.
The effect of contouring is determined by the method used to perform it. Thus, with thread lifting, a frame is formed in the skin, which stimulates the production of its own elastin and collagen fibers. At the same time, the precise introduction of fillers into the skin creates additional volume, which allows you to naturally improve the oval of the face, get rid of wrinkles, pronounced nasolabial and nasolacrimal folds, and sagging skin. Such procedures are an excellent solution for caring for the face and skin around the eyes in the fall after 40 years.
Wraps
Wraps are ideal for restoring skin elasticity They are not able to quickly rid you of extra centimeters in volume, but they are quite capable of providing pronounced lifting and hydration. Wraps with seaweed extracts are especially effective.
As we can see, there are more than enough procedures that can save us from the annoying consequences of summer trips, and they are all very effective. All that remains is to make a choice and begin this pleasant and necessary work. The results will not take long to arrive.
Biorevitalization.
iorevitalization is one of the types of mesotherapy based on the injection saturation of the deep layers of the skin with hyaluronic acid. Since ultraviolet rays must be avoided after the procedure, it is best performed in the fall. Quite often, such injections, in addition to hyaluronic acid, include other biologically active components - peptides, amino acids, vitamins, glycerin.
Getting deep into the skin, hyaluronic acid retains moisture and also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers. As a result, the facial contour improves, wrinkles are noticeably smoothed out, the skin becomes more elastic, moisturized and velvety.
Fractional photothermolysis.
The fractional photothermolysis procedure is a modern, high-precision technique for skin rejuvenation due to deep penetration of laser beams.
Fractional photothermolysis affects not the superficial, but the deep layers of the skin, causing renewal processes in them. Under the influence of laser beams, the temperature in damaged cells rises, they are destroyed and at the same time regenerative processes are launched - neighboring healthy cells are activated, collagen and elastin fibers are produced.
The procedure allows not only to increase skin tone, improve its color and texture, but also to get rid of superficial and deep wrinkles, scars, and age spots.
Botulinum therapy
The well-known Botox, injections of botulinum toxin is a muscle relaxant that relaxes muscles for a certain time and does not allow them to work at full strength. This is the most widely used throughout the world and the safest technique in aesthetic medicine (over 30 years of using the drug, no allergic reactions have been recorded).
How it works: 3-14 days after administration, the drug weakens muscle motor activity. As a result, wrinkles (especially those caused by excessive facial expressions and habits of wincing, frowning, etc.) are smoothed out. The effect lasts for about 6 months. During this time, by the way, habits usually disappear and there is no need to re-administer the drug.

Time for beauty.
What beauty treatments should you plan for spring? Indications: best used for the upper third of the face - Botox smoothes out wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes.
In the lower third of the face (wrinkles near the mouth), Botox is practically not used, because in this area it is impossible to block the muscles without impairing the functions of chewing and smiling. Contraindications: pregnancy and lactation, herpes, inflammation at the injection site, severe myopia, myasthenia gravis and similar syndromes. Also, antibiotics should not be used while Botox is in effect - they will neutralize the effect.
Complications: facial asymmetry, distortion of facial expressions. These problems are usually caused by improper execution of the procedure (due to the low qualifications of the doctor) or the use of too high doses of the drug (usually the patients insist on this).
Myths: if you start injecting Botox, you will have to do it constantly. This is partly true. Patients, seeing the result, do not want to refuse the procedure. However, doctors do not recommend frequent and long-term use of the drug - muscle atrophy may occur, and it will not be easy to restore their tone.
What components of care will help prolong the effect of salon procedures?
First of all, these are serums with antioxidants that prevent oxidative stress: Direct Delivery Vitamin C from DMK, Seba E from DMK, Genexc from iS Clinical, Vitamin C Booster from Sferangs. After ablative procedures, TEWL increases, so it is necessary to constantly moisturize the skin with high-quality products. Crème-masque Vernix from Biologique Recherche, Sheald Recovery Balm from iS Clinical are ideal for use in the first days after the procedure, and products such as Serum TEWL from Biologique Recherche, Crème Dermo-RL from Biologique Recherche, Renovateur 14&Complexe Royal Elixirs de Lumiere from Biologique I usually recommend using Recherche, Beta Gel from DMK for several months after the procedure.
In addition to restoring the water-lipid mantle, it is important to take care of the skin microflora - the Enbioment Mist+Enbioment Spray system of pre- and probiotics for skin from DMK is perfect for this.
And, of course, after any salon procedures you must use sunscreen.
I recommend Extreme Protect SPF30 from iS Clinical to my patients.

Laser coagulation
After summer, many are saddened to discover dilated capillaries on their legs - another disadvantage of exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Contrary to numerous advertising promises to rid you of this defect in one procedure and forever, eliminating spider veins is not at all so easy. According to statistics, only 6% of people actually confirm the disappearance of dilated capillaries after the first session. The rest will have to visit the specialist’s office more than once. But you should not neglect the capabilities of the laser - if you approach the matter patiently, the spider veins will eventually disappear or, at least, fade.
