Telva Facial treatments to reinvent your face after 50

Beyond cosmetics and diet and exercise as well as good wellness practices, there are different non-invasive facial beauty treatments that work to care for the skin from the age of 50, the age at which you begin to notice much more aging of the skin, the spots are more pronounced as well as the wrinkles for which creams, serums and other beauty products cannot reach the skin.

However, all experts agree that in recent years there has been a trend of women of this age seeking more natural ways and non-invasive treatments to address skin aging and skin changes during menopause.

There is a drop in the number of patients who opt for facelifts and surgical procedures, and an increase in the demand for non-invasive rejuvenation techniques and beauty treatments to feel better and solve the problems that most concern us and with a more focused approach. holistic without carrying out major transformations. In addition, as confirmed by Dr. Margarida Dos Santos, medical director of Aevo clinics, "with the COVID-19 pandemic, this increase in facial treatments has been even more marked."

And it is also confirmed by Dr. María Marcos, a dermatologist from the Pedro Jaén group, who points out that there is "a change in trend in the sense that we are now trying to act with a preventive approach at much earlier ages by applying treatments that help curb the signs of aging to delay surgery as much as possible or, directly, avoid it".

But the expert also points out that surgery has also evolved and is becoming less invasive. "Interventions are carried out with minimal incisions, many only require local anesthesia and recovery is faster and easier because surgery is still the option for certain problems that we cannot solve with aesthetic treatments or in which they fall short" .

Although natural and responsible beauty has been an axiom in recent years, it is also true that sometimes surgical treatments are the only definitive solution for some signs of advanced aging such as facial flaccidity (a middle third facelift or facelift may be considered). complete facial depending on the case) or the dreaded periocular bags (solvable with blepharoplasty).

Dr. Ribas-Nijkerk, medical director of the NAAC clinic, also points out that facial treatments for the face from the age of 50 should be carried out from a more global perspective. "The improvement of the quality, tone and texture of the skin is essential if what is intended is a homogeneous and harmonious rejuvenation because a treatment with Botox in the upper third of the face or replacement of facial volumes with hyaluronic acid does not look the same in sallow, dull skin with dilated pores, as in radiant, hydrated skin with few sun spots".

In addition, it is also necessary to strongly influence the daily habits of facial cleansing, hydration and sun protection through the use of clinical cosmetics recommended by professionals, also promoting beauty care at home.

Lasers and LED light therapy on the face, neck and décolleté

Laser therapy (Alma-Q and Harmony XL-Pro laser platform) is a very useful tool to achieve facial rejuvenation, the neckline region and the back of the hands from the age of 50. As Dr. Ribas-Nijkerk tells us " It allows to improve a wide spectrum of skin conditions such as blemishes (melasma, solar lentigines), rosacea and acne scars. And we also like to stress the importance of the neck and décolletage in rejuvenation treatments, since they are the two great These are anatomical regions highly exposed to solar radiation, in which photoprotection is not usually applied on a regular basis, and therefore very prone to photoaging problems (wrinkles, redness and sun spots) because lasers achieve a notable attenuation and improvement of this problem".

Facial fillers with hyaluronic acid

With menopause and the drop in estrogen, the synthesis of collagen and elastin slows down, so the skin begins to feel more flaccid from this age. And in that sense, skin flaccidity can improve a lot with treatment with collagen stimulators. As Dr. Margarida Dos Santos assures us, "there are treatments that, without changing the physiognomy, only give the stimulus that the skin needs to re-produce collagen as when we were younger, thus recovering vitality and smoothness."

Regarding facial sagging and deep furrows, the doctor recommends hyaluronic acid infiltrations. With this treatment we manage to return the facial support that is being lost over the years and "we see again the features that were most marked when we were young, we soften the furrows and recover the facial oval. In addition, hyaluronic acid is very moisturizing and improves the skin quality and shine.

Facial fillers with hyaluronic acid also allow to replenish and reposition facial volumes that have decreased as a result of the passage of time (such as the filling of the nasolabial fold, marionette lines, sunken temporal fossae, lip fillers) and can also treat static wrinkles (the famous barcode).

And as Dr. Ribas-Nijkerk assures us, "the durability of these fillers has been increasing progressively with the technological advances involved in their manufacture, reaching up to two years in some cases, we recommend using high-quality hyaluronic acid and intended for anatomical areas specific to the face (in the lips we use one type, in the contour of the jaw another)" he points out.

Botox to combat expression wrinkles

Expression wrinkles that appear on the forehead and around the eyes are a common concern for which there is much appreciated treatment. And in that sense, Botox softens and prevents the wrinkles of the upper third of the face from becoming more marked. "It is a quick and painless treatment whose results are progressively noticeable and with it, we achieve a smoother appearance and that expression wrinkle that was previously more marked and deep, little by little, will be softened" says Margarida Dos Saints.

Filling of the eyecup groove with autologous fat

Another of the most demanded treatments to treat sunken eyes is the filling of the eyecup furrow with autologous fat (also known as nanofat). "It is a painless technique in which a small amount of fat is extracted (it can be from the abdomen or the inner side of the thighs), which is then centrifuged and filtered, proceeding to its injection into the eyecup furrow, allowing to replenish the volume of said area and appreciating the results immediately" says Dr. Ribas-Nijkerk. And the great advantage of this treatment is that there is no rejection (because it is done with the patient's own fat) and that its effects can last up to two years.

Ultherapy or radiofrequency against flaccidity

As for non-invasive treatments, which are the ones that work best, Ultherapy stands out, a non-invasive lifting that, as Leticia Carrera, technical director of the Felicidad Carrera centers, tells us, "treats sagging skin with a single annual session." Because as the expert assures us, "the stress we have suffered has produced an increase in cortisol and a decrease in collagen, which is why many people have noticed less firmness in their skin after these months." And in addition to facelifts, she assures that aesthetic medicine touch-ups with botulinum toxin, wrinkle fillers with hyaluronic acid and, of course, depigmentation treatments with pulsed light and laser are increasing. And without a doubt, "there has been a turning point and aesthetic care has been a priority and a necessity this year to improve our self-esteem" concludes Carrera.
