Home care
You can spend a lot of time and money in a cosmetologist's office, but without proper home care, the results will not last long.
It's not just about creams and masks, our daily habits are also important. When we fall asleep on our sides, wrinkles form at the corners of our eyes, so it is best to sleep on your back and on a low pillow. The latter will eliminate the appearance of Venus rings on the neck. When it comes to cosmetics, it is advisable to choose one that is suitable for your age: marked 25, 35, 40+. Anti-aging products should be well moisturizing, because dry skin is much more likely to form fine wrinkles. Another component that helps prevent the appearance of wrinkles is hyaluronic acid. It must be included in anti-aging cosmetics.
Magnesia for cones after injections
A medicine such as magnesia has been used in medicine for a long time and is either a white powder or a solution with magnesium sulfate as the main component.
Magnesia compresses are rarely used in therapy, but in some cases they can show good results. To get rid of infiltration (compaction), you need to moisten a bandage in a magnesia solution, squeeze it out lightly, apply it to the sore spot, cover it with a film, insulate it with cotton wool and secure it with an adhesive plaster.
However, you need to remember that this medicine is effective when wet, so you need to systematically change the compress (every 2-3 hours).
There are also side effects: an allergic reaction to the components of the drug is possible.
Face massage
Jowls, sagging skin and unclear facial contours are a consequence of loss of skin and muscle elasticity. Facial muscles are no different from body muscles, which means they can be trained to tighten and tone them back. You can perform a facial massage yourself (fortunately, there are many training videos and courses on the Internet) or sign up with a professional in a beauty salon.
Buccal massage is rightfully considered one of the most effective techniques. It has a lymphatic drainage effect, removes puffiness and makes the skin incredibly elastic. Massage easily eliminates the first wrinkles and prevents the appearance of new ones. If you do Facebook building at home, it is important to do it regularly - 10-20 minutes a day will keep you young for many years.

Svetlana Tvardovskaya, cosmetologist-pharmacist, Ayurvedic therapist, creator of unique massage techniques, answers the questions.
What spoils our appearance?
The most common customer complaints are wrinkles and other age-related changes. Even three or four wrinkles can change our face, making it sad, more angry, and unfriendly. But we are all intuitively drawn to open, smiling people.
Today, filler injections are one of the most popular methods for correcting wrinkles. What should you be careful about?
In the fight against expression wrinkles, many experts recommend Botox or fillers, which are absolutely unsafe. For the last four years, I have often had to rehabilitate people after injections, which result in a number of side effects, such as eyelid ptosis, swelling, abscesses, hematomas, facial muscle paralysis, and damage to the facial nerve. Long-term complications also occur - these are mutagenic changes in cells, weakening and sagging of facial tissues, scars, scars. Therefore, before putting yourself at risk, it may be worth looking for other, safer methods. For example, help your body regularly produce joy hormones - endorphin and serotonin. They smooth out muscles in a matter of seconds, giving peace and joy. The sources of joy hormones are experiences of pleasant moments in life. Therefore, more positive! A great way to relax and enjoy is a massage.
There is an opinion that injection techniques and massage are incompatible.
On the contrary, after hyaluronic acid injections, massage is a necessity. Massage prevents the formation of stagnation and the accumulation of toxic substances in the injection area. The use of hyaluronic acid fillers in the area around the eyes can cause swelling, and superficial injection will create the effect of gray circles under the eyes. A properly performed massage will restore blood and lymph circulation. As for botulinum toxin, the most powerful “engine” of lymph is muscle movement, and as a result of the injection of botulinum toxin, the muscles are relaxed and the dynamics are impaired. In this case, massage is simply necessary.
What is the secret of your Hollywood Lifting massage technique?
The massage I developed for the face, neck and décolleté is a complex symbiosis of ancient massage techniques and modern lifting techniques. “Hollywood lifting” consists of 5 stages:
1) lymphatic drainage;
2) alpha relaxation - relaxation of muscles and emotions;
3) plastic deep facial muscle massage;
4) rhythmic stimulating movements;
5) relaxing massage - the final stage with elements of Hawaiian massage Lomi Lomi and Ayurvedic massage.
When creating this technique, I used all the previously accumulated knowledge gained in Spain, Italy, France, Poland and, of course, India. The result of such a massage is visual lifting, a clear facial contour, improved complexion, filling skin cells with energy and noticeable rejuvenation.

Chemical peeling
A chemical peel can be called a controlled burn to the skin. After exposure to acids, the skin sends a signal to the cells that regeneration urgently needs to be started, and the body devotes all its strength to recovery. As a result, the synthesis of your own collagen and elastin increases, which has a beneficial effect on your appearance.
Chemical peeling exfoliates cells and smoothes skin texture. After 35, you should pay attention to medium peels - they effectively remove fine lines and wrinkles, make the skin elastic (which means it is not at risk of creases). We have already written about how to choose a peeling that is right for you.
Beauty injections
The debate about when to inject Botox will never subside. Cosmetologists say that the procedure has no age restrictions. Botulinum toxin is an excellent way to prevent the appearance of deep expression lines. You should not refuse injections, citing the fact that you are not yet thirty.
Any facial wrinkle begins to appear on the upper layer of the skin and over time deepens and deforms the lowermost layers of the dermis. Most often, such facial wrinkles appear in the forehead area and between the eyebrows. If you let the process take its course, Botox injections alone will not be able to save the situation - fillers, threads and hardware techniques will be used.
It’s easier to prevent a strong crease. Bonus: after injections, many girls simply lose the habit of frowning and squinting. So the second procedure may not be necessary, because the wrinkle will disappear forever.
Filler injections or manual facial massage?
Filler injections or manual facial massage? Or maybe both the first and the second? K&Z asked an experienced specialist to set the accents. Svetlana Bogacheva answers the editor's questions ,
dermatocosmetologist of the KLAZKO group of clinics.
“Beauty & Health”: Contour plastic surgery is a very popular technology in aesthetic medicine. In your opinion, isn’t there today an excessive predilection for this method of rejuvenation and harmonization of appearance and, as a result, excesses in its application? Svetlana Bogacheva:
I would not say this, although much depends on the individual approach of the doctor and the wishes of the patient. Just a few years ago we witnessed the fashion for hypertrophied lips and cheekbones. Moreover, the initiators of this approach, as a rule, were the patients themselves. Now, fortunately, this trend has died down a little, and women are striving for natural attractiveness without traces of any intervention.
“K&Z”: Are there fewer complications after contouring? S.B.:
Overall less. Sometimes after the procedure, slight asymmetry of the face occurs, which can be explained by uneven administration of the drug. You can rarely encounter contouring - its reason is very superficial injections. The situation can be corrected with the help of hyaluronidase injections, if a hyaluronic acid preparation was used as a filler, and physiotherapeutic techniques. An experienced doctor, as a rule, will not allow these side effects.
“K&Z”: What if we consider manual facial massage as an alternative to injections, at least at a certain age stage? S.B.:
If there is a significant loss of tissue volume in certain areas of the face, massage will no longer help. However, if you are young, it will be an excellent prevention of aging - it will improve lymphatic drainage and maintain skin and muscle tone. Of course, any massage technique has its limitations. For example, young patients are not recommended to work their muscles too “persistently”, so as not to provoke hypertonicity of the muscles and premature appearance of age-related changes. But for mature skin, superficial exposure, on the contrary, is not suitable. And, of course, massage should be performed only in a clinic by a high-level cosmetologist and esthetician.
“K&Z”: How is this level expressed? S.B.:
A highly qualified specialist is well versed in the types and conditions of the skin, strictly follows the directions of the massage lines, does not stretch the tissue, and always begins the session with smooth, calm movements, gradually increasing their intensity. A good doctor makes the patient feel comfortable both before and after this procedure.
“K&Z”: What are the consequences of incorrect facial massage? S.B.:
In some cases, after some time, after completing a course of excessively intense massage, the tissues may sag and the oval may float. The development of internal edema, the appearance of irritations, spider veins and hematomas cannot be ruled out.
“K&Z”: It is known that abroad manual techniques are valued higher than hardware ones... S.B.:
And in our country, as a rule, hardware procedures are more expensive. In Russia, manual massage is greatly underestimated, however, its undoubted advantage is the ability to select the most individual solutions and connect the personal energy of the therapist.
“K&Z”: How advisable is it to combine filler injections with manual massage? S.B.:
These are complementary techniques, but they need to be combined according to a certain scheme. During the first two weeks after dermal filler injection, massage is prohibited. Afterwards, you can turn to manual technologies to activate microcirculation and tonify tissues. But in any case, the massage therapist must bypass the areas where the gel is present.
Laser rejuvenation techniques
For those who still missed the moment when the first wrinkles appeared, fractional laser resurfacing is suitable. The Photofractional procedure involves heating the deep layers of the skin, activating the production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the beauty and smoothness of our skin. After the session, the skin will be slightly burnt. On the third day, severe peeling will begin, and on the seventh, clients receive smooth and youthful skin, without a single hint that it once had fairly deep wrinkles.
What are the benefits of massage after Botox?
We have already answered the question of whether it is possible to do a massage after Botox, now we will look in detail at its advantages and disadvantages. Lymphatic drainage facial massage produces the following positive effects:
- Provides a clean contour to the face;
- Additionally tightens the skin;
- Fights age-related changes;
- Prevents the appearance of wrinkles;
- Improves microcirculation of the skin;
- Makes skin velvety.
For each woman, the effect after a massage will be individual; in most cases, patients note only the benefits. There are also disadvantages of massage after Botox, but they are individual, and not everyone experiences certain side effects.
Facial massage is carried out not only after Botox, but also without it. Such manipulations will allow you to preserve beauty and youth for a longer time.
After a facial massage, any swelling quickly resolves, and hematomas disappear after Botox. The main thing is to learn all the features of manipulation, not to use sudden movements, and, if possible, trust the manipulation only to specialists.
