Cosmetology is ... Rejuvenation and healing of the body: types, methods and means

Every woman sooner or later thinks about her age: wrinkles appear on the face, the skin becomes saggy and loses elasticity. All these changes spoil the mood and make women look less and less in the mirror. A separate field of medicine, called cosmetology, has been developing various methods of healing the body and fighting the manifestation of old age for many years.

At the moment there are a huge number of procedures that can "restore youth". People who know about it, successfully rejuvenate and are engaged in their recovery in specialized cosmetology clinics.

What is Cosmetology?

Cosmetology is a science that studies aesthetic problems of the human body and ways of their correction. In other words, we can say that this industry corrects the shortcomings of appearance, resulting from age-related changes and injuries. There are two main trends that cosmetology is studying. This is a therapeutic and surgical direction. The latter solves the aesthetic problems of a person with the help of surgical intervention. Work in this area can only be a highly qualified specialist with a medical background. Officially, the profession of "doctor-cosmetologist" was approved in Russia only in 2009.

The therapeutic direction, in turn, solves aesthetic problems with the help of various cosmetics (creams, lotions, tonics), massages, injections and various physical factors of influence on the body (laser cosmetology, phototherapy, electric currents). The choice of one or another method of correcting the deficiencies as a whole depends on the expected result.

What are the types of rejuvenation and skin rejuvenation

Above we have considered two areas of science such as cosmetology. It is surgical and therapeutic. Depending on the complexity of the aesthetic problem, the method of solving it is also chosen. The most complex and risky procedure is plastic cosmetology, which refers to the surgical direction. As a rule, surgery is a forced measure, when other ways of healing or rejuvenation can not give the desired result. In turn, therapeutic cosmetology includes a huge number of different procedures aimed at correcting the aesthetic shortcomings of the skin. Let us consider them in more detail.

Injection facial plastic

The procedures discussed in this section, although they refer to the therapeutic direction of cosmetology, however, only an experienced cosmetologist in the clinic should perform them. Surely many people have heard about such a concept, like the filers, in cosmetology. What is it, doctors-cosmetologists know well. Fillers are substances (natural or synthetic) that an experienced specialist injects under the patient's skin in order to smooth wrinkles and add volume to sagging skin.

There are such types of injection therapy:

• Botulinotherapy. This procedure is a correction and prevention of facial wrinkles. A substance is injected into the subcutaneous layer, the inhibitory activity of the mediators responsible for the transmission of the nerve impulse. As a result of this procedure, the muscles of the face and neck relax, which means that the facial wrinkles disappear. For injections use very well-known fillers in cosmetology. What it is? They are "Relatox", "Botox", "Disport", "Lantox", "Xeomin".
• Plasmolifting. The name of this procedure indicates that plasma is used for skin rejuvenation and healing. No matter how surprising this may sound, the composition of the liquid part of a person's blood is actually very useful. It contains both hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin. All these components are very important for the preservation of youth and beauty. For this procedure, blood plasma is taken from the patient himself, saturates it with some useful elements and injects under the skin.

Hardware cosmetology

This species includes a huge number of very different ways of rejuvenating and improving the body, which uses not cosmetic means, but special equipment (lasers, microcurrents, crystals, light pulses). Treatment of aesthetic defects with the help of such procedures is practically painless and very effective.

As a rule, to achieve a good result, you need to go through several courses of hardware cosmetology. In various salons you can find a variety of procedures, and the better and more popular this place, the greater the list of procedures there is provided. Undoubtedly, everyone needs the best clinic of cosmetology. Moscow is the city where it undoubtedly exists. What hardware methods exist?

Laser rejuvenation

This procedure involves the use of a powerful stream of light - a laser that penetrates through the layers of the dermis and does not damage it. Laser cosmetology helps to improve the condition and structure of the skin, eliminate pigmentation spots, improve blood circulation, increase elasticity and elasticity. There are two main procedures in which a laser is used. This is laser skin resurfacing and fractional laser cosmetology. The prices for these types of rejuvenation are almost the same (about 15,000 rubles for one zone), but only the method of light exposure (in the form of a stain or in the form of a grid) differs.

Microcurrents for face and body

To conduct such a method of rejuvenation, cosmetologists use microcurrents. This procedure has found wide application both in Russia and abroad. Practically any clinic of cosmetology offers microcurrent treatment. Moscow is the city where in every cosmetic room there is such a method of rejuvenating and improving the body. The advantage of this procedure is its ability to act on muscle fibers. A micro-shock causes the blood vessels to contract for a fraction of a second, stopping the flow of lymph and blood. This process can be called a micro massage. Microcurrents can restore muscle tone and reduce the depth of wrinkles. The cost of one procedure is about 2000 rubles.

Thermage

As a rule, this procedure is applied in the area around the eyes, on the eyelids, on the face, on the hands and on the stomach. Thermage is the so-called alternative method of plastic surgery. Doctors-cosmetologists and patients who have already undergone rejuvenation in this way, argue that the difference between it and the plastic surgery is almost not noticeable.

This procedure is a patented technique that operates on the basis of heating the deep layers of the skin. Since the collagen contained in the cells is stretched over time, which leads to sagging skin, the heating of these fibers allows them to re-tighten and compact. In order not to burn the upper layers of the derma at the same time, a special nozzle is attached to the equipment, it spreads the coolant onto the epidermis. The procedure Thermage (thermage) is expensive, as is plastic cosmetology. Prices for this method of rejuvenation range from 100 to 200 thousand rubles and are due to the fact that the equipment itself for this type of lifting is very expensive.

Rejuvenation with ozone

Ozone therapy is a fairly popular method. This procedure allows you to saturate the skin with useful substances, accelerate metabolism, remove toxins and toxins, remove fine wrinkles and lighten the pigment spots. Ozone therapy is carried out both in the form of injections, as in the form of an ozone cocktail, which rubs the surface of the skin. There are also ointments in facial cosmetology that can reduce wrinkles, however, compared with injections, the result is less than long.

Cosmetology courses

One of the most popular occupations in the modern world is medical cosmetology. Courses, which are held in various schools of cosmetology, allow you to master this profession and become a qualified specialist in this field. As a rule, medical items (cosmetology chemistry, microbiology, anatomy, dermatology, physiotherapy and others) must be read for this. It is very important that the specialist who will carry out the procedure on your face know exactly what medical cosmetology is. Courses help to learn all the necessary skills for this. Otherwise, the cosmetology procedure for such a "master" may have the opposite effect.

Since cosmetology is a whole science, of course, it is difficult to be a full expert in this field, however, in order to protect yourself, certain knowledge is still necessary. Do not hesitate to ask your doctor-cosmetologist a diploma about his education. In addition, it is very important to know the contraindications to a particular procedure and the rules for caring for the skin area on which it was conducted.
