Facelift for the face. Effective exercises, anti-puffiness techniques, for tightening the oval, before and after photos

Physical fatigue, emotional stress, insomnia - all this negatively affects the condition of the skin and inexorably accelerates the aging process. There are many methods of preserving youth and beauty, one of which is facelift for the face.

The first steps in this direction were taken at the beginning of the 17th century, but the most effective procedures that help to tighten the skin without surgery were developed and began to be actively used less than 100 years ago.

Facelift

The term facelift is translated from English as facelift. The purpose of the procedure is to eliminate or reduce the external manifestations of age-related changes. The effect is achieved by removing excess fat deposits, smoothing fine wrinkles and deep skin folds, as well as correcting the natural oval of the face.

Modern technologies of rejuvenation offer several types of facelifts, differing in the method of implementation:

Surgical facelifting is considered the most effective but unsafe option for correcting age-related changes.

However, each of the above methods has its drawbacks:

• the result of hardware lifting can be seen only after undergoing a course of expensive procedures;
• injections are absorbable and do not provide long-term results, and fillers can cause allergies and change position under the skin. They are not excreted from the body and, if the result is unsatisfactory, they can only be removed by surgery;
• surgical lift is a radical method that has many contraindications and side effects. The result depends entirely on the skill of the surgeon. Mistakes in choosing a clinic and a contractor can be expensive;
• gymnastics for the face, or face building, is a daily job. This method is only suitable for organized and disciplined people. But it is absolutely safe and does not require material investments.

However, even face building has several contraindications:

• high blood pressure;
• pathology of the facial nerve;
• botox or filler injections;
• plastic surgery on the face, since the date of which less than 2 years have passed.

The absolute advantage of face gymnastics is the fact that there is no age limit for it. Even after 60 years of age, regular exercises for the muscles of the neck and face can significantly improve the appearance, but it will take longer than a young woman.

Muscles lend themselves to training at any age. With the help of gymnastics, they can not only be strengthened, but also slightly increased in volume. During classes, the blood supply to the tissues is activated, which contributes to the saturation of cells with oxygen and nutrients, as well as the improvement of metabolic processes, as a result of which an amazing rejuvenating effect is achieved.

The most effective pull-up exercises for every face and neck. Execution technique

More than 50 different muscles are responsible for the mobility of the human face. With age, they lose their elasticity and volume, which explains the first signs of wilting. This can be avoided by doing facial gymnastics. Facial muscles are small enough and easy to work out, so the result from regular training will not keep you waiting long.

Facelift for the face, the most effective exercise complexes for which developed over several decades, allows you to achieve impressive results:

• the tone of the facial muscles increases;
• stimulates blood flow to the upper layers of the epidermis, thereby improving the color and condition of the skin;
• swelling decreases;
