In women aged 50+ years, estrogen production decreases dramatically, which affects the condition of the skin. Facial rejuvenation without surgery after 50 years is possible through cosmetological methods and competent home care.
Skin care after 50 years at home
Plastic surgery works wonders, but not all women can afford surgery. But competent skin care is available to everyone at home. The main thing is to be regular and comprehensive.
Daily care plan:
- Cleansing;
- Tonic;
- Moisturizing, nourishing;
- UV protection.
Twice a week it is worth doing nourishing masks, as well as a combination of facial self-massage and superficial peeling.
Cosmetics
The set of skin care cosmetics for women aged 50+ is the same as in previous years. But the composition of the funds should be different.
necessary:
- Get rid of products that dry the skin - alkaline foam for washing, lotions containing alcohol;
- Buy protective cosmetics to protect your skin from the negative effects of sun, wind and frost;
- Replace regular creams and tonics with anti-aging remedies.
To cleanse and tone you need:
- Micellar water to remove makeup;
- Cleansing milk or cream at the right pH;
- Non-alcoholic tonic;
- Facial gauze (use once in 7-14 days depending on skin type).
It is useful to clean the face with ice cubes - it tones and rejuvenates the skin. To make ice, it is advisable to use chamomile, heirloom, lime decoction.
Use day and night creams for hydration and nourishment. Separately, you should buy a cream for the periorbital region, but for the neck you can use the same products as for the face. No need to buy expensive creams, pharmacy brands are also suitable.
Good anti-aging creams contain:
- AHA and BHA acids;
- Vitamins (tocopherol, retinol);
- Coenzymes;
- Peptides;
- ᲰHyaluronic acid;
- Collagen.
It is better to buy ready-made masks than to make them yourself. After 50 years, nourishing and moisturizing masks are useful.
Self-massage
Massage will help you maintain youth. Ideally, this should be done by an experienced cosmetologist, but self-massage is not out of the question.
An effective technique is plastic massage. Provides several types of impacts - swirl, shock, vibration. The procedure starts with superficial effects, then move on to deep mozzarella.
Basic facial massage techniques:
- cuddle. Light stroking movements are performed in the direction of the least stretching lines (massage lines);
- Mozelva is superficial. It is performed with four fingers (except the thumb), performing a movement that resembles drawing a spiral with small turns;
- Deep molasses. Held with all five fingers and wrists, the pressure should be more intense;
- catch. It is done with fingertips along all massage lines;
- Vibration. Held in the lower part of the wrist, the movement is directed from the middle of the chest along the throat bone to the ear and further to the temple.
Before the massage session the face is cleansed of cosmetics and powdered talcum powder. Some cosmetologists use cosmetic oils instead of talc.
Another technique is a complex massage with tablespoons. For the procedure, you need to prepare two containers, filled with hot and cold water, a few tablespoons of cosmetic oil.
The impact is exerted by the convex part of the spoon. The technique of crushing, grinding, light touch is used. It is advisable to use silver spoons, but you can get ordinary. Apply warm oil on the skin before the session. The effect is done alternately with a cold and warm spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
In gymnastics
A controversial way to rejuvenate the face without injections and surgeries is to exercise the facial muscles. Learning to exercise at home is not difficult, the main thing is that the lessons are regular.
There are many different types of exercises on the internet, but our doctors' opinion is the same: gymnastics provokes the appearance of facial wrinkles! Therefore, we do not recommend doing gymnastics, make a choice in favor of massage.
Salon procedures for facial rejuvenation without surgery
Salons offer a variety of ways to rejuvenate after 55 years without surgery. These are traditional methods (peeling, massage, masks, skin care procedures), injection procedures (introduction of fillers, mesotherapy, biorevitalization) and instrumental methods of skin impact.
Lifting the thread
The essence of the face and neck rejuvenation technique without surgery is to perform a skin puncture and introduce synthetic threads that form a reinforcing frame. The field effect of the procedure lasts 2-4 years.
Lifting with threads is recommended for ptosis of facial tissues, collapse of cheeks, formation of double chin, change of facial contour, appearance of deep wrinkles.
Polymeric materials, silicon, various acids, platinum, gold are used to make yarns. The diameter of the strands does not exceed the thickness of a human hair. After the introduction of the thread is not felt and is not visible to others.
Photo rejuvenation
The essence of this procedure is to expose the skin to pulsed light. Radiation is a quantum flux that is supplied by explosions. Different wavelengths are used. The maximum effect of the procedure does not appear immediately, but after the completion of the course. The photo-rejuvenation procedure strengthens the collagen framework and skin structure, tightens the face and smoothes fine wrinkles.

Grinding is one of the types of peeling techniques. The procedure can be performed only by a doctor with higher medical education who has a certificate.
The rehabilitation process lasts up to 4 weeks. But the pronounced result involves prolonged recovery after the procedure.
Thermage
Thermage is a hardware procedure based on exposure to radio frequency waves or RF radiation. It is performed using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The flow of energy destroys the old structures of the skin. As a result, new collagen and elastin fibers are formed, which provides a tightening effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, as well as other parts of the body. Also used to fight cellulite.
Mesotherapy

Fractional laser rejuvenation after 50 years as an alternative to plastic
Fractional laser rejuvenation is also called:
- Fractional photothermolysis;
- Fractional peeling;
- Laser nanosurgery.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible using fractional laser exposure techniques. In terms of facial lifting efficiency, the procedure can be compared to the use of stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
It is necessary to perform the procedure in a cosmetology clinic that has the relevant certificates. Non-specialist use of laser can cause burns and other negative consequences.
Advantages of the method
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of facial rejuvenation without surgery, which has many advantages:

The essence of the procedure
The technique involves exposing the laser beam to the deeper layers of the skin. In the damaged areas, the cells "burn", which stimulates the regeneration process, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women over the age of 50+ are recommended to use the non-ablation method of exposure. Its difference is that there is no rehabilitation process. This allows you to clear even the deepest wrinkles without a period of rehabilitation.
Effect
In the first days after exposure, the skin becomes inflamed.
It may be noted:
- In the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- In the first 1-2 days - redness;
- 2-3 days - peeling that lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be particularly sensitive to the sun, so you should apply a protective cream with SPF before going out.
The effect of the procedure will become noticeable after stopping the peeling. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin is stretched, the face looks clean. But to achieve a pronounced result, you need to go through a course of procedures. Their number is determined individually.
What methods are ineffective at this age
A professional cosmetologist will help you choose the appropriate method of rejuvenation.
After 50 years, it will be impossible to achieve a good effect when used:
- Light fruit skin;
- Cosmetic masks;
- BBL Facial Rejuvenation.
These procedures are good for young women. Fifty and especially sixty years later you need a combined technique that gives a pronounced lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.
Rejuvenation reviews without surgery
Reviews of facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive opinions, but there are those who did not like this procedure.
- "Wrinkles and age spots appeared with age. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use non-surgical methods. The cosmetologist advised fractional laser rejuvenation. Satisfied with the procedures, I did it without severe pain and bruising. Already on the 6th day the face looked decent, though it was more pink than usual. I can say that there is a result - the eyelids were stretched, the wrinkles were reduced, the thin pigment spots disappeared, but the large ones only became pale. I will repeat the process later. "
- "I am afraid to do plastic surgery, so I took very careful care of my skin. But 50 years later the face was "broken", there were cheeks, the second chin, a network of wrinkles. I chose fractional laser rejuvenation. Beaten homeless woman's face somehow survived 3 days, then improved. But she really could "go out with people" only after 2 weeks. The eye wrinkles disappeared, the oval became transparent, the nasolabial folds became less deep. The effect is not bad, but the second time this pain is even for beautyI can not dare.
