Rejuvenation and lifting of facial skin
With age, the skin loses its former elasticity and tone, the oval of the face becomes less clear, and deep wrinkles appear.
Do you think you can't argue with age? But no, lifting devices will make you several years younger easily and quickly. To do this, it is absolutely not necessary to spend money on expensive salon procedures; you just need to purchase a home lifting device and enjoy the results of a professional procedure right at home!
Face lift devices will not only save you from age-related changes, but will also help you maintain the results for many years. Lifting massagers will help you save a lot of money and time, because such a device for facial skin care is very simple and easy to use. This section presents the most effective facelift devices from well-known global manufacturers.
Lifting is a set of measures for those who want to always look 100%!
Ruthless time leaves its mark on the faces of women and men, and now in the mirror you observe wrinkles, sagging skin and deformation of the facial contour, the appearance of a double chin. Typically, such age-related changes fully manifest themselves after 35 years, when the tone of facial muscles noticeably decreases and the skin loses its former firmness and elasticity.
These problems can be dealt with by adopting a set of measures that are usually called a capacious word - face lifting. It should be noted right away that products for rejuvenating and tightening the skin are not only cosmetics, but also specially designed devices that allow you to strengthen muscles and restore the skin to its former tone. Ultrasonic massage, devices for myostimulation, radio wave lifting and, of course, carefully selected cosmetics - this is your path to youthful and fresh skin!
We choose the lifting method that suits you!
Myostimulation and microcurrents.
With age, as a rule, most people experience a phenomenon called “gravitational ptosis.” This is a sagging of the muscles on which the skin is attached, resulting in deep wrinkles on the forehead, nasolabial folds, and a sagging chin. Devices for myostimulation and microcurrent facial therapy will help to cope with these phenomena. These devices tighten muscles, providing a non-surgical lifting effect, and are an ideal means for visible rejuvenation in adulthood.
RF lifting.
The unique concept of RF lifting is gaining increasing popularity in skin rejuvenation and tightening courses. Thanks to soft RF radio wave radiation, lifting effectively tightens already sagging skin, reducing its area, literally filling wrinkles with collagen fibers from the inside. RF lifting also stimulates cellular renewal processes, making the skin fresher, younger and more radiant - and you look much younger.
Ultrasonic lifting.
Ultrasonic skin massage is a technology of influence at the cellular level that stimulates skin cells to produce young collagen and elastin proteins. In addition, this type of rejuvenation is known for such a phenomenon as ultrasonic phonophoresis - during which cosmetics actively penetrate the skin and act with maximum efficiency. Devices for ultrasound influence amaze with their functionality and effectiveness, because ultrasonic massage and phonophoresis can cope with signs of age and provide excellent smoothing of wrinkles.
Lifting masks and complexes.
Cosmetics, of course, play a huge role in rejuvenation and facelift courses. Cosmetics not only perfectly care for the skin, nourish and moisturize it, but also enhance the effect produced by devices for correcting age-related changes. Many devices with a lifting effect involve the application of serums and gels immediately before the procedure - and this combination gives the skin a complex result, visible to the naked eye.

Effect of lifting face cream
A properly selected lifting cream works in several directions at once:
- Stimulates the production of collagen and elastin - reducing the number and severity of wrinkles, restoring firmness and elasticity to the skin.
- Accelerates cell regeneration and renewal - which allows you to even out skin tone and fight pigment spots.
- Increases skin density and elasticity - remodeling and restoring facial contours and clarity of lines.
In addition, lifting and firming face creams often contain additional ingredients (vitamin C, acids, peptides and nourishing oils) that help moisturize, nourish and restore the skin from the inside.
What should be the composition of a good cream with a lifting effect?
Good face creams with a lifting effect, as a rule, have a complex composition, the action of all components of which competently complements each other. Particular attention should be paid to products that contain the following ingredients:
- Hyaluronic and glycolic acids - the first intensively nourishes and moisturizes the skin from the inside, the second helps fight pigment spots and even out the complexion.
- Vitamin C - it is a powerful antioxidant, refreshes and rejuvenates the skin, protects it from the harmful effects of free radicals.
- Peptides are special molecules that work in synergy with other substances to stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin.
- Nourishing oils - in particular, apricot and shea butter - provide intense nutrition to the skin and are responsible for its hydration.
- Rhamnose is an active component developed in VICHY Laboratories and protected by patents. Rhamnose has a deep effect on all layers of the skin, helping to increase its density and elasticity.
- The HEPES complex is another development of VICHY Laboratories, designed to enhance metabolic processes and even out skin texture.

What is a face lift and when is a lift needed?
What is lifting? Lifting is a skin tightening procedure that helps keep the muscles of the face and body toned. This procedure is mainly aimed at rejuvenating the skin, reducing and preventing irreversible age-related changes. Often, to achieve a lifting effect, surgical intervention was previously required, but now, thanks to the achievements of cosmetology, a similar result can be obtained by using creams, masks, and hardware cosmetology. But the surgical method still remains the most effective, providing a longer-lasting rejuvenation effect.
The use of creams with a skin tightening effect is the easiest way to rejuvenate, and it is much cheaper than hardware procedures. Such creams are usually available for day or night, and have different consistencies: light, dense, or in the form of a gel. This cosmetic product should contain antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and vitamins.
To enhance the tightening effect, creams are best combined with lifting masks, which can be made at home. It is also worth learning more about what a closed sinus lift looks like and how it is performed.

Masks are usually used to solve the following skin problems:
- the appearance of new wrinkles, facial and age-related;
- presence of a double chin;
- a face that has lost its clear contours;
- pigment spots resulting from age-related changes;
- dryness and flaking associated with age;
- sagging and loss of epidermis tone.
It will also be helpful to learn more about what a facelift looks like and how it is done.
The most popular masks with a tightening effect that can be prepared at home are protein-lemon, tomato, dill with oatmeal and a mask based on cosmetic clay. When preparing such home remedies, you need to take into account your skin type and tendency to be allergic to a particular product.
But here’s what it looks like and according to what parameters you should select and use a face lifting cream.
Rules for using firming face cream
The main thing to remember: most lifting creams containing hyaluronic and glycolic acids, as well as vitamin C, should be used only “under the cover” of products with SPF protection of at least 15. The remaining rules for applying modeling face creams are very simple:
- Cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser, such as Purete Thermale Micellar Water with Minerals.
- Apply LiftActiv Supreme Serum 10 Nourishing Anti-Wrinkle Serum or LiftActiv Antioxidant Youth Skin Concentrate. Gently massage the product into the skin with your fingertips.
- After the serum has been absorbed, use your chosen day or night cream with a lifting effect. Simply apply it to the skin, gently patting it with your fingers, and wait a few minutes for all the beneficial substances to be completely absorbed.
- For additional nutrition and hydration, you can use LiftActiv hyaluronic facial masks 2-3 times a week.
We hope that these simple measures and regular use of good products with a lifting effect will allow you to maintain youthful and elastic skin for a long time, as well as a clear oval face!
Application of hardware techniques
If you still want to achieve a more noticeable and quick result, then hardware procedures in a cosmetology office will come to the rescue. In 2 weeks, you need to stop smoking (which affects blood circulation) and stop taking medications that are aimed at thinning the blood: ibuprofen, aspirin, etc. The day before the procedure, you need to wash your hair to avoid infection and get a good night's sleep.
The average duration of lifting procedures is 1-4 hours, and depending on the complexity, even anesthesia may be used. After this procedure, it is recommended to quit smoking, drinking alcohol, and avoid stressful situations for a while.
A hardware facelift procedure is performed using equipment that uses different types of energy to affect the skin: radio waves, microcurrents, lasers. The hardware technique is being implemented not only by plastic surgery clinics, but also by high-end beauty salons.
It will also be useful for you to learn about what laser lifting looks like and what results can be achieved.
Such procedures do not require the use of anesthesia, do not entail a period of long rehabilitation and are much cheaper than surgical techniques. You should not use hardware lifting in case of pregnancy, epilepsy, cancer, or diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Laser lifting involves applying a laser to the skin, producing thermal energy that will promote natural rejuvenation processes. After this procedure, the skin becomes more elastic, dense, collagen production is stimulated, wrinkles become less deep, blood circulation improves, and the complexion becomes more even and healthy. It will also be useful to know more about that. what lifting makeup looks like.
The laser technique does not require anesthesia , but some particularly sensitive patients may experience discomfort. Hyperemia of the epidermis after the procedure goes away quickly, without third-party intervention, the effect is noticeable immediately. It is very important to remember that chemical peels should not be performed 2 weeks before laser lifting.
Not everyone knows what it is – microcurrents in cosmetology. The effect of microcurrents on the epidermis helps the muscles regain tone. In addition, this technique eliminates swelling, stimulates lymph flow, and improves blood circulation. Microcurrents are used together with serums and masks to achieve the most pronounced effect. The technique using microcurrents gives a very weak vibration and does not bring any unpleasant sensations. Already after the first session, good results will be noticeable; in order for the effect to last longer, you will need to complete a course of 6-10 procedures. After such a course, you will notice that the skin has become significantly fresher, a natural blush has appeared, the network of fine wrinkles and swelling under the eyes has disappeared. It is also worth paying attention to what a face lift looks like and how it is done at home for the face.
The microcurrent technique cannot be used when the patient has an electrical stimulator in the body, metal structures (threads, pins, plates) or in cases of individual intolerance to electric current.
It’s also worth seeing what a mask with a lifting effect looks like at home.
The procedure using ultrasound is the only hardware technology that can affect even the deep levels of the skin. If you carry out a series of similar procedures, you can achieve a tightening effect that is comparable only to a surgical lift. The session lasts 30-60 minutes, and anesthetic cream is used as anesthesia. After exposure, slight hyperemia and swelling may be observed.
The deep impact of ultrasound stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, this can last for several months after the procedure. Due to this, the epidermis will become fresher and more toned every day. The result can last up to 3 years, but if the patient is over 50-55 years old, the effect will be less pronounced.
Also no less popular in recent years is the plasma lifting procedure. What is facial plasmolifting? This is a procedure that involves injecting platelet-rich plasma subcutaneously. Platelets are able to secrete substances that accelerate cell division, and if plasma with a large number of platelets is injected under the skin, this will stimulate the construction of new cells and accelerate regenerative processes.
For this procedure, 8-40 ml of blood is taken from the patient and placed in a centrifuge to obtain a plasma fraction. In this way, plasma is formed with a high content of platelets (4-5 times higher than in the blood), which causes a very fast and noticeable result. It is recommended to undergo a course of 4-8 procedures once a week.
Contraindications to this type of lifting are pregnancy and breastfeeding, dermatological, oncological, autoimmune, and infectious diseases. Allergic reactions and acne may also occur. But how the hair lifting procedure works and how you can carry out such a procedure at home is indicated here.
