Solcoseryl and Dimexide have a rejuvenating effect on facial skin. From the article you can learn how to use these tools correctly.

With age, a woman’s appearance changes, and there is no escape from this. But many make fairly successful attempts to slow down the aging process by maintaining the satisfactory condition of their skin with special cosmetic procedures.
Some do it in a salon, some buy special expensive anti-aging cosmetics, others use folk remedies the old fashioned way
Dimexide and Solcoseryl from pharmacies are not exactly folk remedies, but also not targeted drugs. They are believed to effectively rejuvenate and tighten the skin

Solcoseryl ointment and gel in cosmetology, benefits

Solcoseryl is a pharmacological wound-healing and regenerating drug in the form of an ointment or gel.

Solcoseryl gel.

It is indicated for use for:

diseases of the vessels of the extremities and disorders of their patency
trophic ulcers
bedsores
burns
after skin plastic surgery
maceration

IMPORTANT: Solcoseryl gel is also used to treat the cornea of the eye - its inflammation, erosion, ulceration, burns, as well as in the postoperative period.

Solcoseryl ointment.
The composition of Solcoseryl gel or ointment includes water, petroleum jelly, alcohol, cholesterol and animal blood components (dairy calves).

Therefore, it has a number of properties that can be used in home cosmetology to combat age-related skin changes:

softening
moisturizing
antiseptic
healing

IMPORTANT: After application to the skin, the active substances of Solcoseryl accelerate blood flow and cellular metabolism, enrich cells with oxygen, stimulate natural regenerative processes in the skin

To combat age-related changes, improve skin color, and make it velvety, women use Solcoseryl itself or its combination with other substances, for example, vitamins.

RECIPE: Mask with Solcoseryl and vitamins

You need: Solcoseryl gel – 1 teaspoon, vitamins A and E (or the drug Aevit) – 3 drops each.

The wound healing gel is enriched with vitamins and then applied to the face for 30 minutes.
After the procedure, wash your face
Such masks can reduce the appearance of shallow expression wrinkles

Rules of application

Have you decided to use Dimexide and Solcoseryl to combat age-related changes and prepare a cosmetic product from them? Then you definitely need to know how to do it correctly. Neglecting the recommendations will, at best, leave you without the expected effect, and at worst, will harm your skin.

The concentrated drug cannot be used. "Dimexide" must be diluted with water. You can only use distilled or boiled water. Proportions: 1 part of the drug to 10 parts of water. If your skin is oily and has low sensitivity to various types of influences on it, you can change the ratio to 1:5.
Dimexide has two dosage forms - ointment and gel. To prepare a mask, it is better to take the first option. I'll explain why this is so. The gel contains no auxiliary softening ingredients. Therefore, it will dry out the skin, causing an unpleasant feeling of tightness.
Before using Dimexide in any form, it is necessary to conduct an allergy test. To do this, apply a small amount of the drug to your wrist and leave for half an hour. After that, wash it off. If even minimal irritation, redness or burning occurs, remove the product immediately. If no suspicious symptoms are observed within the next 24 hours, you can safely use the medicine to prepare a mask.
To avoid an allergy to Solcoseryl, it must also be tested. Do the same with it as with Dimexide.

How to prepare a mask with dimexide and solcoseryl for wrinkles?

A mask with Dimexide and Solcoseryl smoothes and tightens the skin.
An anti-aging mask with Dimexide and Solcoseryl is made in the following sequence:

Cleansing stage: Dimexide is diluted with boiled water 1 to 10, a cotton swab is moistened in the solution, and the skin is wiped
Rejuvenation stage: Solcoseryl is applied to the face in a thin layer, left for half an hour
Fixing stage: Remove the mask with cotton pads soaked in chamomile decoction

IMPORTANT: This mask can also be used for the area around the eyes, but this must be done with caution, and not from the first procedure. Do not let Dimexide get into your eyes.

Composition and medicinal properties of drugs

In order to understand how an anti-aging mask based on Dimexide and Solcoseryl works, you need to familiarize yourself with the composition and beneficial properties of the drugs.

Properties of Dimexide

Dimexide is a drug used in medicine to treat diseases of the musculoskeletal system, various inflammatory processes on the skin, dermatological lesions and wounds. The main active ingredient is dimethyl sulfoxide, which has great penetrating power and activates cellular metabolism. The drug penetrates well through the skin and mucous membranes, making them more susceptible to the penetration of other drugs.

Dimexide provides:

strong anti-inflammatory effect;
antiseptic and antimicrobial effect;
local analgesic effect.

The drug is available in the form of a concentrate for further preparation of solution, ointment and gel.

Dimexide has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and anesthetic effects

Solcoseryl - stimulator of tissue regeneration

The main component of Solcoseryl is hemoderivat (deproteinized dialysate) from the blood of young healthy calves. The drug delivers oxygen to cells, normalizes metabolic processes, has powerful regenerating properties, restores skin and strengthens blood vessels. That is why it is widely used for medical purposes - for the treatment of ulcers, bedsores, healing of burn wounds and frostbite of the skin, and for cerebral circulation disorders.

Solcoseryl is a strong regenerating and wound healing agent

Thanks to its medicinal properties and unique biological composition, Solcoseryl has gained great popularity in cosmetology. The fair half of humanity is increasingly using it as a home remedy to combat wrinkles and premature skin aging. A drug:

helps the penetration of oxygen and moisture into the skin;
accelerates metabolic processes at the cellular level;
restores and strengthens damaged blood vessels;
activates collagen production;
stimulates the growth of new cells and renewal of the epidermis;
promotes rapid regeneration and restoration of damaged skin areas;
softens rough areas of skin.

Useful properties of the combination of Dimexide and Solcoseryl

In cosmetology, a combination of drugs - Dimexide and Solcoseryl - works very effectively. When using Dimexide as a single agent, there will be no anti-aging effect. Dimexide itself is usually used in the treatment of acne and inflammatory processes on the skin.

With proper use of a combination of drugs, you can achieve a significant reduction in wrinkles, improve complexion, and get rid of dermatological skin lesions. The successful combination of two products is based precisely on the high penetrating effect of Dimexide. Getting deep into the skin, it activates metabolic processes and helps to absorb the beneficial components of Solcoseryl.

To combat wrinkles and skin aging, many women use a combination of Dimexide and Solcoseryl

The effect of the combination of Dimexide and Solcoseryl is:

strengthening blood vessels, improving blood circulation and microcirculation;
softening and moisturizing the skin;
saturation of cells with oxygen;
strengthening the skin and improving its elasticity;
significant reduction of wrinkles.

Using homemade masks based on these two drugs will not only help your skin look healthy and get rid of wrinkles, but will also rejuvenate it at the cellular level.

Homemade Botox with dimexide and solcoseryl

Dimexide in tandem with Socoseryl is called “home Botox”. Many women who tried this remedy were delighted with it.

They say that changes in the condition of the skin become noticeable after a two-week course of masks. Many people share tips on how to enhance the effectiveness of the mask, for example:

Instead of Solcoseryl gel, it is better to use ointment, it tightens the skin less
Before treating the skin with Dimexide, it is recommended to carry out regular cleansing using conventional products and steam your face in a steam bath.
The exposure time of Solcoseryl can be increased to 40-60 minutes, and it must be applied in a thick layer, and then periodically sprinkled with water so that it does not turn into a crust.
After the procedure, you must use a moderately fatty cream

A mask with Dimexide and Solcoseryl - instead of a Botox injection.

The benefits of "Dimexide" and "Solcoseryl"

Probably, many will be interested in how exactly the medications “Dimexide” and “Solcoseryl” can help against wrinkles. It turns out that the second medicine activates metabolism inside cells, increases collagen production and strengthens blood vessels, thereby normalizing blood circulation.

"Dimexide" is assigned the role of an auxiliary substance. This medication increases absorption and significantly enhances the effect of Solcoseryl components, which have moisturizing and restorative properties.

A face mask with Dimexide and Solcoseryl, according to reviews, provides a truly fantastic effect. The complex effect of these drugs, which penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis and trigger regeneration processes, allows you to achieve the following results:

improved blood circulation;
saturation of skin cells with oxygen;
complete hydration;
active production of your own collagen;
narrowing of pores;
increasing skin elasticity and firmness;
smoothing out wrinkles.

In addition, one of the advantages of these medications is their price. You will pay much less for them than for a hyped, trendy anti-wrinkle cosmetic.

How to make a mask with dimexide and solcoseryl for the face against acne?

The antiseptic and antimicrobial properties of Dimexide with Solcoseryl, their ability to improve intracellular processes, are used not only to eliminate age-related changes in the skin, but also to fight acne.

To dry out acne and disinfect the skin, you need to make a more concentrated aqueous solution of Dimexide: take 5 parts water and 1 part of the drug
Cleanse the skin with a regular cleanser
A cotton swab soaked in Dimexide dissolved in water burns pimples.
Solcoseryl is applied to the skin in a thin layer for 10 minutes.
Remains of ointment or gel are removed with a moistened cotton swab

Dimexide and Solcoseryl will help get rid of acne.

Safety regulations

Dimexide and solcoseryl used for the face are medications. Therefore, you should only purchase them in pharmacies and be sure to check the release date and expiration date on the packaging. Expired medications (alas, there are some in our pharmacies) can cause irreparable harm.
Before using medications, you should carefully read the section on contraindications - for one reason or another, both medications may be strictly contraindicated.
Before applying the mask to your face, you need to check it for an allergic reaction. This is easy to do: just apply a small amount of the mixture to an area of skin somewhere on the bend of the elbow and leave for a day. Any redness, rashes, or itching that appears in this area in the evening should be a reason to stop using the mask.
The best form of solcoseryl for preparing a mask is ointment only. The gel can cause a feeling of severe tightness on the skin, and the tablets, even after crushing, will not provide the desired consistency for the mask.

Contraindications and harm of masks with solcoseryl and dimescid

Unfortunately, Solcoseryl in combination with Dimexide cannot be called a universal anti-age agent: it is not suitable for everyone due to contraindications. There have also been cases of negative reactions to masks.

Dimexide should not be used for very thin and sensitive skin.
Dimescid is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation
After using Solcoseryl it is not recommended to drive a vehicle
Both of these substances should not be used if you are allergic to any of their components.

Also, in the reviews of those who tried to rejuvenate with a mask with Dimexide and Solcoseryl, it was indicated that there was an adverse reaction to the drug in the form of:

itching and burning
skin redness
edema
subsequent peeling of the skin

IMPORTANT: Solcoseryl has a specific pungent odor. There were cases that during the rejuvenation procedure it caused nausea and dizziness

Dermatologists believe that Dimexide and Solcoseryl should be used only for their intended purpose, that is, for medicinal purposes.

They say that Solcoseryl can effectively act only on damaged skin, while its active substances penetrate through entire cell membranes in small quantities and cannot cause any positive effect.

Dimexide and Solcoseryl can cause allergies.

Whether to try this method to get rid of wrinkles or not is an individual decision. But caution won't hurt.

Preparation and application of the mask

The instructions for making and using a mask from Solcoseryl and Dimexide are extremely simple. No special skills or experience are required. For convenience, I will write it step by step.

Before using the finished mask, your face must be thoroughly cleansed. To do this, it is best to use a special cosmetic soap or washing gel.
Dilute Dimexide with distilled or boiled water. The proportions, as I mentioned above, are 1:10.
Take a cotton swab and gently apply the prepared solution to your facial skin.
Now you can apply Solcoseryl gel. The layer should be thick. Don't be greedy, because the final result depends on it. If possible, use ointment instead of gel. It will tighten the skin less.
During the soaking process, the mask must be periodically moistened with pre-boiled water. It must not be allowed to freeze.

Leave the mask on your face for an hour. After this, it should be washed off with warm water and a caring cream should be applied to the skin.

I recommend doing the procedure before bed. Then in the morning you will be able to see the magical Botox effect. The use of this remedy can be called a non-traumatic mesotherapy session at home.

I would like to report one more pleasant moment. With the help of a mask made from Dimexide and Solcoseryl, you will be able to get rid of not only wrinkles. It is also good for acne, acting as a cleanser and regenerator. The result will be noticeable within 20 days.

For wrinkles

To make an anti-wrinkle mask, you can mix Dimexide not only with Solcoseryl, but also with other ingredients. For example, with white cosmetic clay, sour cream and vitamins.

Take a full tablespoon of sour cream (its fat content should be at least 20%). Combine it with the same full tablespoon of cosmetic white clay. Stir.
Add oil solutions of vitamins E and A to the sour cream-clay mixture - half a teaspoon of each.
In a separate container, dilute a teaspoon of Dimexide in warm boiled water (there should be 7 teaspoons).
Gradually add the prepared mixture of sour cream, cosmetic clay and vitamins into the medicine solution. Stir all the time. The desired consistency of the mass is creamy.
Apply the mask to problem areas. Avoid areas around the mouth and eyes. Spread a thick layer. Leave the product on the skin for 20 minutes.
After the allotted time has expired, wash off the mask with water at a comfortable temperature. Then apply any nourishing cream to the skin.

Vitamin

To combat age-related changes in the skin, Solcoseryl can also be combined with components other than Dimexide. As an example, I would like to give a recipe for a vitamin mask.

I warn you right away that it is better to use ointment to prepare it. This way you can avoid the unpleasant side effect of tightening.

Combine a full teaspoon of Solcoseryl ointment with vitamins E and A (take one capsule of each). Mix thoroughly.
Apply the prepared mixture to problem areas. Apply a thin layer.
Leave the mask on the skin for half an hour.
After the allotted time has expired, wash your face with water at a comfortable temperature.

For the eye area

Everyone knows that the skin around the eyes is the first to reveal a woman’s age. After all, this is where signs of impending aging appear first.

The skin in this area is very delicate and sensitive. Therefore, it is necessary to use special medications to prolong her youth with extreme caution.

According to reviews from women who have already used Solcoseryl and Dimexide to care for the skin of their eyelids, the best results are obtained if you adhere to the following rules:

Allergy testing is mandatory. Without it, the consequences can be unpredictable.
First you need to do a series of facial skin treatments. The eyelid area is excluded. Frequency – 2 times a week. The duration of the course is 30 days. After this you need to take a break for 10-12 weeks. Did your skin react normally? Then after a break you can make masks for the area around the eyes.
Con should be minimal. "Solcoseryl" is applied in the thinnest layer.
Do not allow the mask to dry out on the skin. Periodically spray it with warm water from a spray bottle.
After rinsing off the product, be sure to apply moisturizer to your eyelids.

Contraindications

Can everyone use pharmaceuticals for cosmetic purposes? Let's figure it out. Solkseryl and dimexide masks should not be made for pregnant women.

Also, be sure to test before wearing masks. If you notice the slightest irritation, you should not use the drug. To determine allergies, 15 minutes are enough.

Do not forget that you cannot carry out procedures frequently. After a course of masks, you need to take a break for a month.

Solcoseryl

What it is?

Solcoseryl is a regenerating and wound-healing drug. Helps accelerate regeneration and improve metabolism in tissues. The active substance is deproteinized hemodialysate. This is a preparation of blood and tissues of cattle. Its properties have only been partially studied. In pharmaceuticals it is produced in the form of:

Gel for topical use: - for minor damage to the skin (cuts or scratches); — for burns of I and II degrees (thermal and solar); - in the presence of difficult-to-heal wounds (bedsores); - for frostbite. Apply to fresh wounds with a moist area. More detailed instructions can be read here.
Cream or ointment. Topical application is similar to the gel. The difference is that the gel is used on fresh wounds. If the damaged areas have already dried out and the regeneration process has started, it is better to use a cream or ointment. More detailed instructions can be read here.
Tablets, solution for injection and intravenous administration. Used in the same cases as cream or ointment.

Solcoseryl is banned in a number of countries, including Canada and the USA

Does solcoseryl help against wrinkles?

By reading the instructions for solcoseryl, you can find out how the drug affects the body:

stimulates collagen production;
activates recovery processes;
improves oxygen supply to cells.

From this we can assume that if the drug has a positive effect on the regeneration of damaged skin, it means that it triggers natural recovery processes. In fact, the molecules of the active substance solcoseryl are too large to act at a deep level. When the drug is used to treat a wound with damaged skin, the molecules do not have a protective barrier. They penetrate inside and help activate the regeneration process. If you apply the drug to healthy skin, then nothing will happen. The active substance will not even be able to penetrate intact skin. And no guide in the form of dimexide will help him.

From the above, it becomes clear that solcoseryl does not eliminate wrinkles, it only creates a greasy film on the face. It protects the skin from moisture loss and nothing more

Solcoseryl mask - how to use correctly

In order to eliminate wrinkles, “Internet cosmetologists” recommend using solcoseryl together with dimexide. The face is cleaned, dimexide is diluted 1:10 and in 2 tbsp. l. Dip a cotton pad in this solution. Wipe areas with wrinkles with it, and apply a thick layer of solcoseryl on top. Leave the mask for 40 minutes, wetting it periodically with water to prevent it from drying out. Next, wash your face and apply cream.

Contraindications to solcoseryl

The main contraindication for the use of solcoseryl is the presence of allergic reactions to the components of the gel or cream. The side effect is also associated with allergies and skin sensitivity. If a burning sensation appears after applying the cream or gel, you should not use the drug.

Effect of drugs

The basis of the drug Solcoseryl is the blood of calves. The extract contains vitamins and substances necessary for tissue restoration and promotes the formation of collagen, which is so necessary for the skin.

Solcoseryl has the following effects on the skin:

enriches with oxygen,
restores metabolism, which has a beneficial effect on appearance,
produces collagen
restores damaged tissues,
has a moisturizing and nourishing effect.

The drug is available in the form of jelly, injection, gel, and ointments.

What’s so special about Dimexide:

anti-inflammatory effect,
antiseptic,
cleanses skin pores,
quickly enters the bloodstream after application,
heals wounds, ulcers,
used for ulcers and eczema.

The product is also available in various forms. It can be a concentrated solution, gel, ointment.

If you observe the proportions when preparing mixtures of these two drugs, follow the rules of use, the result will simply be amazing.

Dimexide

What it is?

Dimexide is a medicine. In medicine, it is used as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. The active ingredient is dimexide (dimethyl sulfoxide). In pharmaceuticals it is available in the form of:

Concentrate. Used as an aqueous solution for compresses. Diluted in the following ratio: - from 20 to 30% - for deep burns and in plastic surgery for graft engraftment; - from 25 to 50% - for local anesthesia; - from 30 to 50% - for the treatment of trophic ulcers and inflammations; - from 40 to 90% - for eczema and diffuse streptoderma. The concentrate is applied as a compress for a maximum of 30 minutes. More detailed instructions are here.
Gel (dimexide content 20% and 50%). A colorless or light yellow gel is used externally for arthritis, osteoarthritis, bruises, sprains, inflammatory skin diseases and acne. Apply spotwise in a thin layer. Use for no more than 14 days. More detailed instructions are here.
Cream or ointment (dimexide content 30 - 70%). Additionally contains an emulsifier and polyethylene oxide 1500. It is used by analogy with the gel.
Suppositories (Propolis D). This form of release is especially popular in gynecology. In addition to dimexide, the composition includes propolis, which leads to increased therapeutic effects. Helps fight infections and eliminate inflammation.

Does dimexide help against wrinkles?

The substance dimethyl sulfoxide was synthesized in 1866. Then they remembered about him only 100 years later. During the research, it turned out that dimexide easily penetrates the blood through the skin. Within 5 minutes, molecules of the substance are present in the blood. After 4–6 hours, the maximum concentration is reached, which decreases over 36–72 hours.

Dimexide dissolves a wide variety of substances: hormones, alkaloids, antibiotics, vitamins, salts and cytostatics. Plus, it accelerates the penetration of compounds without changing their properties. Active medicinal substances immediately enter the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive organs.

From the above, it becomes clear that dimexide does not eliminate wrinkles, it only promotes the penetration of active substances.

Mode of application

In the fight for youthful skin, dimexide is not used as a cream. Only solution. It cannot be used in its pure form, so dimexide is diluted with clean water 1:5. When used externally, undiluted concentrate causes a burn. Especially on delicate sensitive mucous membranes. It also cannot be used internally. Only externally. It acts as a poison, causing vomiting, dizziness and disruption of the gastrointestinal tract.

Face masks with dimexide

I use Dimexide as a remedy for wrinkles, usually as one of the ingredients in masks. Before starting to apply the anti-aging mixture, the gurus of this method advise checking how the skin reacts to the drug. For this purpose, a few drops of dimexide dissolved in water are applied to the skin of the hand or to the bend of the elbow. Leave it for a couple of hours and wait. If a reaction occurs (itching, burning, redness, rash), then you will have to discard the mask.

The simplest recipe is to dilute 5 drops of dimexide with 2 tsp. water and apply to problem areas where there are wrinkles using a cotton pad. After 15 minutes, wash your face to remove the mask.

Recipe with tea tree oil - 10 drops of dimexide diluted with 3 tsp. boiled water. Then add five drops of tea tree oil into the mixture. All this is stirred. Next, you need to apply a layer of the resulting mixture to your face and leave for 30 minutes, then rinse with water.

Recipe with sour cream, clay and vitamins – 1 tbsp. l. sour cream mixed with 1 tbsp. parts of white clay. Add 0.5 tsp. vitamins and. 1 part dimexide is diluted with 7 parts water. 1 tsp. The resulting solution is sent to a mixture of sour cream, clay and vitamins. The mask must be applied in a very thick layer to areas with wrinkles and washed off after 20 minutes.

To prevent wrinkles, it is recommended to use such masks once every 10 days. In order to eliminate formed wrinkles, no more than 3 times every 7 days. The course consists of a minimum of 8 procedures, a maximum of 10.

Contraindications to Dimexide
