It is better to buy masks ready-made than to make them yourself. After 50 years, nourishing and hydrating masks are useful.
Self-massage
Massage will help you stay young. Ideally, this should be done by an experienced beautician, but self-massage is not excluded.
An effective technique is plastic massage. It provides several types of shocks - kneading, stroking, vibration. The procedure begins with superficial effects, and then moves on to deep kneading.
Basic facial massage techniques:
- Stroking. Light stroking movements are performed in the direction of the lines of least stretching (massage lines);
- Kneading is superficial. It is performed with four fingers (except the thumb), a movement reminiscent of drawing a spiral with small curves is performed;
- Deep kneading. It is performed with all five fingers and the palm, the pressure should be more intense;
- tapping. Fingertips are done along all massage lines;
- Vibration. It is performed with the lower part of the palm, the movement is directed from the middle of the sternum along the collarbone to the ear and further to the temple.
Before the massage session, the face is cleansed of cosmetics and powdered with talcum powder. Instead of talcum powder, some cosmetologists use cosmetic oil.
Another technique is a complex massage with tablespoons. For the procedure, you must prepare two bowls filled with hot and cold water, a few tablespoons, cosmetic oil.
The impact is made with the convex part of the spoon. The techniques of caressing, rubbing, light tapping are used. It is recommended to use silver spoons, but you can also take ordinary ones. Warm oil is applied to the skin before the session. The effect is performed alternately with a cold and a warm spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
gymnastics
A controversial way to rejuvenate the face without injections and surgery is gymnastics for the facial muscles. Learning how to do exercises at home is not difficult, the main thing is to teach regularly.
There are different sets of exercises on the Internet, but the opinion of our doctors is the same: gymnastics causes wrinkles on the face! Therefore, we do not recommend doing gymnastics, make a choice in favor of massage.
Salon treatments for facial rejuvenation without surgery
Salons offer different ways of rejuvenation after the age of 55 without surgery. These are traditional methods (peels, massages, masks, skin care procedures), injection procedures (filler introduction, mesotherapy, biorevitalization) and hardware methods of acting on the skin.
Lifting threads
The essence of the technique of rejuvenating the face and neck without surgery is to perform skin punctures and the introduction of synthetic threads that create a strengthening frame. The effect of the capture field lasts 2-4 years.
Thread lifting is recommended for ptosis of facial tissues, relaxed cheeks, formation of a double beard, changes in facial contours, and the appearance of deep wrinkles.
Polymeric materials, silicone, various acids, platinum, gold are used for the production of threads. The diameter does not even exceed the thickness of human hair. After the introduction it is not even felt and is not visible to others.
Photorejuvenation
The essence of this procedure is exposing the skin to pulsating light. Radiation is a quantum flux that is brought in from a burst. Different wavelengths are used. The maximum effect of the procedure does not appear immediately, but after the end of the course. Thanks to the photorejuvenation procedure, the collagen frame and skin structure are strengthened, the face is tightened and fine wrinkles are smoothed.
Advantages of light energy:

laser resurfacing
Laser skin rejuvenation is a procedure that can stop aging and help get rid of acne scars or other skin imperfections. The essence is the effect of lasers on the epidermis. The upper layer of cells evaporates, which stimulates regeneration processes.
Sanding is one of the variants of hardware peeling. The procedure can only be performed by a doctor with a higher medical degree who has a certificate.
The rehabilitation process lasts up to 4 weeks. But a pronounced result covers a long 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 energy of radio waves.
The flow of energy destroys old skin structures. As a result, new collagen and elastin fibers are formed, which provide a tightening effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, as well as other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
Mesotherapy
Injection procedure, the essence of which is the intradermal introduction of special "cocktails". Preparations include hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, peptides, growth factors and so on.
The introduction of mesococktails leads to the following changes:
- Pigment spots disappear;
- Improves complexion;
- Dryness is eliminated, wrinkles are smoothed;
- The microrelief is leveled.
The drugs are given with very thin needles. A lot of microtrauma is created, which additionally stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and improves blood microcirculation.

Selected drugs are given by injection. Injection needles or cannulas are used.
Ozone therapy
Rejuvenation of the face and neck is carried out by introducing special cocktails with oxygen and ozone. After the procedure, the face takes on a fresh look, small wrinkles and traces of acne disappear. The technique stimulates collagen production.
Fractional laser rejuvenation after 50 years as an alternative to plastics
Fractional laser rejuvenation is also called:
- Fractional photothermolysis;
- Fractional peeling;
- Laser nanoperforation.
Effective rejuvenation of the face after 60 years without surgery is possible with the technique of fractional laser exposure. In terms of facial tightening efficiency, the procedure can be compared to the use of stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
The procedure must be performed in a cosmetic practice that has the appropriate certificates. Non-specialist use of lasers can lead to burns and other harmful effects.
Advantages of the method
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of facial rejuvenation without surgery, which has many advantages:

- Photo and chronoaging;
- Wrinkles are superficial and deep;
- Loose skin, loss of clear oval face;
- Scars, scars;
- Vascular asterisks;

But there are also contraindications. They must be taken care of, because not everyone has iron health at the age of fifty. Laser rejuvenation is prohibited under the following circumstances:

The patient should alert the cosmetologist to the presence of any chronic diseases. Based on that, the specialist decides which technique can be used.
The essence of the procedure
The technique consists in the effect of the laser beam on the deep layers of the skin. In the affected 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 a non-ablative method of exposure. Its difference is that there is no rehabilitation process. This allows you to smooth out even deep wrinkles without a rehabilitation period.
The effect
In the first days after exposure, the skin will be inflamed.
It can be noticed:
- In the first 2-3 hours - light tingling;
- In the first 1-2 days - redness;
- On day 2-3 - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be especially sensitive to sunlight, so it is necessary to apply a protective cream with SPF before going outside.
After peeling stops, the effect of the procedure will become visible. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin is taut, the face looks fresh. But in order to achieve a pronounced result, you have to go through procedures. Their number is determined individually.
Which methods are ineffective at this age
A professional cosmetologist will help you choose the right method of rejuvenation.
After 50 years, it will not be possible to achieve a good effect when used:
- Light fruit peels;
- Cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These procedures are good for young women. After fifty, and even more than sixty years, combined techniques are needed that give a pronounced lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.

- Wrinkles and pronounced age spots have appeared over the years. My face rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated, so I opted for non-surgical methods. The beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am satisfied with the procedure, I passed without severe pain and bruising. .
- "I'm afraid I'm having plastic surgery, so I took very good care of my skin. But after 50 years, the face "collapsed", cheeks appeared, another beard, a network of wrinkles. I opted for fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it was very painful for me, tears came from my eyes, I could barely stand this execution. I got up in the morning and scared myself in the mirror - my face like a beaten homeless woman. Somehow she survived 3 days, then it got better. But she could really "go out to people" only after 2 weeks. The wrinkles around my eyes disappeared, the oval became clearer, the nasolabial folds became less deep. The effect is not bad, but the second time I will not dare to suffer this pain even becausebeauty.
