Aesthetic cosmetology has long and successfully helped to improve the contour of the face and tighten the skin without the use of plastic surgery.

Such procedures are much cheaper, and the effect from them is no less than from a plastic surgery. Beauty injections can smooth the wrinkles around the eyes that appear in women after 50 years of age, and deliver the nutrients directly to the cells.

The cosmetologist must decide on the need for injections after clarifying the individual problem of the client and confirming that she has no contraindications to this procedure.

As a result of this procedure, a noticeable lifting effect appears, which persists for a long time. Injections are made in the middle layer of the dermis with a syringe with a thin needle.

The injections give the opportunity to delay the intervention of the plastic surgeon for a long time and can be performed, except for the face and other parts of the body: the decollete, the area around the eyes, neck, hands.

After the introduction under the skin, these medicinal substances are evenly distributed and smooth wrinkles.

This effect is possible due to the gel-like consistency of the drugs administered, which are often based on hyaluronic acid and other components.

The effect of the procedure can last from 6 months to a year, depending on what preparations were used.

Preparations for beauty injections

For today in cosmetic practice several types of injections for women aged 50 years are very popular:

• Botulinum toxin;
• Hyaluronic acid;
• Biodegradable polymer materials.

The best beauty injections with botulinum toxin are Botox, Dysport and Lantox. The principle of their action is based on the poison of the protein nature (botulinum toxin), which has the ability to damage neuromuscular bonds.

After the injection, the drug enters the muscle, and it can no longer contract, resulting in the skin being smoothed out, and wrinkles are leveled. The only drawback with injections with botulotoxin is a non-permanent effect, because after a while the muscles are restored and wrinkles appear again. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically repeat courses.

Hyaluronic acid is contained in the human body in all intercellular fluids and is responsible for the amount of moisture in the cells.

For injections, hyaluronic acid, obtained with the help of modern biotechnologies, is used. The substance is produced in the form of a gel with different concentrations of acid, among which the most famous are Juvederm, Restylane and others.

A drug called Sculpture is used for beauty injections, which lasts for 2 years. The most popular method of rejuvenation for women after 50 years of age, as it makes it possible to get rid of “crow’s feet” and increase the elasticity of the skin.
