With age, facial skin becomes unattractive, loses its elasticity and freshness, this also happens due to violation of the hormonal background of the body or due to external damage to the surface. The way out of the situation can be a facelift - a procedure that provides correction of operationally or superficially acquired defects.
Facelifts help restore self-confidence to women who are worried about age-related or other skin changes.
What is a facelift?
Tightening provides a thorough adjustment to the top layer of skin, as the treated area is rejuvenated and refreshed. Depending on the method of performing the procedure, tightening can be done by surgical or non -surgical means.
Surgical intervention is required in the presence of serious problems, they vary in level of complexity.
- A conventional cervicofacial facelift consists of pulling the top of the skin without altering or affecting the internal tissues. This option is ideal for removing fine wrinkles and correcting minor skin imperfections;
- Internal resection (SMAS resection) - is a full operation in which several incisions are performed, followed by removal of excess tissue;
- Endoscopic surgery is performed using modern technology. In this case, tissue compression is performed from the inside, using a small video camera embedded under the skin from the side of the scalp. This method avoids large incisions, which shortens the recovery time after the procedure.
Non -surgical facelift techniques for skin rejuvenation have become more common in recent years because they are practically painless, relatively affordable, and have no specific contraindications. In the process of skin tightening without surgery, the following are used:
- serum - easy to use at home, because it is equipped with a fixing dispenser (to save money), differs in speed of action and has almost no contraindications, except for cases of individual intolerance to the components;
- deep penetration masks - can be prepared from natural materials or include synthetic materials;
- lifting cream - in most cases, it is used at night, as it does not include the simultaneous use of other cosmetics.
Ways to tighten the skin without surgery are available commercially, so there will be no difficulties with their purchase. Everyone has the opportunity to use the drug at home.
Homemade formulations from natural ingredients will help tighten and refresh the skin significantly without visiting a beauty salon.

- The next step is to massage the forehead area - from the eyebrows up, then to the sides.
- Now you can move on to the chin. It needs to be smoothed from the middle to the sides. Don’t forget about the ear lobes, they can also be involved in the massage process.
- The procedure is completed by rubbing the back of the hand of the submandibular zone.
It is not difficult to make such a massage at home, the whole procedure will take no more than 15 minutes, and you will see the effect after a week.
Along with massage, simple exercises to stretch the skin will not bother; they can be done all day. This will not only help to strengthen the face, but will also allow the "numb" skin cells to "stretch".
- To strengthen the skin on the neck and chin, you need to say the sound "I", "U" periodically for 1-2 minutes, always pulled out and with tension.
- Exercising with air will help you do a visual facelift. You should draw air through your nose and, closing your lips tightly, expand your cheeks to the limit, hold in this position for 5-7 seconds and suddenly expel the air through your mouth.
