The appearance of wrinkles on the forehead is not necessarily a sign of aging, as they can appear after 20 years as a result of a number of factors. Horizontal or vertical wrinkles do not adorn the forehead, and they make us look much older than our age. To effectively prevent the appearance of wrinkles in a given area or get rid of them, you need to understand the reasons that lead to the appearance of wrinkles in this part of the face. Therefore, in this article, the site will tell you why wrinkles appear on the forehead and what methods are effective in combating this problem at home or in the beautician's office.

Factors contributing to the appearance of forehead wrinkles

The first and one of the most common reasons for the appearance of wrinkles in the forehead area, as well as in other areas of the face, is the aging process of the skin, as a result of which it loses its elasticity and natural protection due to a decrease in sebum production. Moreover, the layer of fat in the deeper layers of the skin is reduced, which leads to sagging skin and more pronounced wrinkles and furrows.

Natural aging mechanisms are not the only cause of forehead wrinkles.

In addition to aging, the following factors contribute to the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead:

• chronic stress (it is believed that chronic stress prematurely "ages" the cells, which leads, among other things, to the early appearance of wrinkles in the forehead area);
• a genetic predisposition (in some people, forehead wrinkles can appear from the age of 18, which is facilitated by a combination of heredity, overactive forehead muscles and excessive sun exposure);
• smoking (the tar contained in tobacco inhibits metabolic activity, which leads to collagen damage and loss of moisture);
• ultraviolet radiation (people who spend a lot of time in the sun without protecting their skin with special means risk getting wrinkles in the forehead at a fairly young age, since ultraviolet rays damage the elastin and collagen fibers located in the dermis);
• unbalanced nutrition (dermatologists urge to eat a variety of foods rich in vitamins that help maintain youthful skin);
• facial expressions (people who express their emotions too intensely through facial expressions, often wrinkles appear much earlier than their peers).

Below we will consider in what ways you can get rid of forehead wrinkles:

• in the beautician's office;
• at home.

How to get rid of forehead wrinkles using cosmetic procedures

To eliminate wrinkles on the forehead in cosmetology, there are a number of techniques, including:

• fractional laser therapy and LED skin rejuvenation (these non-surgical forehead wrinkle elimination techniques do not require the use of chemicals, do not have serious side effects and consist in exposure to a laser beam or energy from a light source (laser or diodes), which leads to micro-damage to the skin and triggers the process of its regeneration);
• dermabrasion and microdermabrasion (it is a mechanical skin resurfacing aimed at removing the upper layers of the skin in the doctor's office; this procedure is quite traumatic, but the result is good; microdermabrasion is a more gentle method of dealing with forehead wrinkles than dermabrasion);
• plastic surgery (facelift or rhytidectomy - usually such methods are resorted to only as a last resort, when more gentle methods do not provide the desired effect);
• Botox injections (this method is successfully used in the fight against wrinkles on the forehead to relax tense facial muscles);
• creams and serums (after assessing the condition of the patient's skin, the cosmetologist can recommend various anti-wrinkle creams and serums);
• fillers (as a rule, they are injected after injections of a muscle relaxant (i.e. a drug based on botulinum toxin), since fillers will be ineffective in the case of facial wrinkles on the forehead);
• chemical peels (aimed at chemical removal of the upper layers of the skin and their restoration in a natural way);
• alpha hydroxy acids and retinoids (stimulate collagen production and smooth wrinkles);
• products with antioxidants and proteoglycans (prevent free radicals from damaging skin cells).

The doctor can combine the above procedures and products based on the patient's skin condition and possible contraindications.

Introduction

Everyone wants to preserve youth as long as possible, but the years take their toll, leaving imprints not only on health, but also on the face in the form of wrinkles. People from time immemorial have been in search of the "elixir of youth", which they just didn’t invent, how they didn’t sophisticated, but, unfortunately, the code of eternal youth remains encrypted even in our "progressive" times.

There are a lot of unsuccessful attempts to invent the means of eternal beauty, youth and immortality are described in history. So, they still use the recipes of Cleopatra, who all her life tried to be the ideal of beauty and the dream of any man. These are all kinds of masks, creams, baths, cosmetics, in which plant and animal components were used, but masks made from the sperm of young men and baths made from donkey milk are especially famous. Some believed that young blood prolongs youth by sacrificing other people's lives. And the alchemists of the Middle Ages devoted their whole life to the invention of the "philosopher's stone" or "the stone of immortality." At this time, other especially advanced people were rejuvenated by sex with young people, so to speak, they warmed up and dispersed the blood. And everyone was convinced that a person should live at least 150 years or more.

In the middle of the 20th century, scientists went far and transplanted the sex glands to humans from monkeys, expecting that animal hormones would rejuvenate them, but this did not allow to avoid old age, moreover, some scientists associate the spread of HIV among mankind with this fact.

Nowadays, they are trying to solve this problem at the molecular and genetic level, they believe that the future is in eternal youth for stem cells, but this theory has not been confirmed either, from their use at the moment there is more risk to life and health than the effect rejuvenation.

The most effective way to prolong youth and in our times is considered a healthy lifestyle and nutrition, proper care skin and psychological balance. And many more should simply accept their old age with dignity, each person is beautiful at any age in his own way. The main thing is not to stop caring for yourself.

But until global searches have yielded results, people are prolonging their youth by various methods of fighting wrinkles- cutaneous manifestations of old age. Even whole specialties have appeared - aesthetic medicine, cosmetology, plastic surgery .

Causes of wrinkles

Naturally, the main reason for the appearance of wrinkles is age, that is, the physiological aging process of the skin. But there are a large number of external and internal factors that negatively affect the skin and lead to a faster appearance of wrinkles. Many people notice that in some people wrinkles become noticeable only by the age of 50-60, while in others, facial folds appear after 20.

How does skin aging and wrinkles develop?

With age and under the influence of negative factors, various changes occur in the skin and in the subcutaneous fat layer, which lead to skin laxity and the formation of wrinkles. The first changes appear by the age of 25. The triggering mechanism of skin aging is impaired blood circulation and nutrition of the skin itself, subcutaneous fat layer and muscles.

In order to understand how the skin ages, you need to understand how it works.

Skin structure

The skin is an organ that has a huge area. Its main function is a protective function for the whole organism from the action of the environment and infections. Also, the skin is involved in the exchange of heat and water.

The skin often displays many health problems, against the background of various diseases, it can change color, moisture, oiliness, elasticity, and rashes on it are a bright symptom of many ailments. Therefore, only a healthy person can have healthy skin.

The skin is made up of three layers:

• the epidermis, covered with a water-fat layer;
• dermis;
• subcutaneous fat.

The condition of each of these layers is reflected in the appearance of the skin and the formation of wrinkles.

Picture 1. Schematic representation of the structure of the skin of the face and around the eyes.

Water-fat layer is the result of the production of sebaceous and sweat glands located in the dermis. It is this layer that is responsible for the moisture content of the skin. But, in addition to the cosmetic effect, the water-fat layer protects the skin from various factors and infections. Its normal state delays the appearance of wrinkles.

Epidermis represents 5 layers of cells. The lowest layer (basal) consists of basal keratinocytes. These cells form other layers of the epidermis up to the outer stratum corneum. The corneous cells are inherently dead, contain keratin, and gradually peel off, this is how the skin is renewed. Also in the epidermis are melanocyte cells that form melanin. This pigment is responsible for skin color, including racial color, the presence of age spots and moles, and under the influence of ultraviolet light, it stains the skin in a dark color - a tan.

Figure 2. Schematic representation of the layers of the epidermis.

The main function of the epidermis is to protect against dehydration of the skin, as well as against the action of various factors. In addition, the epidermis contains immune cells that protect the skin from infections.

Dermis- this is the actual skin. It is on the state of the dermis that the firmness and elasticity of the skin largely depends. At its core, it is a connective tissue that forms an elastic and resilient skin frame, which consists of:

• collagen;
• elastin;
• proteinlycan (hyaluronic acid).

All these substances are formed by special fibroblast cells. The more their quantity and the better the quality, the more elastic the skin.

Hyaluronic acid is able to retain moisture in the skin in the form of such a gel, which makes it even and elastic. Also, this substance prevents the effects of various toxic substances on the skin.

In addition, the dermis contains blood and lymph vessels, nerve endings, sebaceous and sweat glands. The rate of wrinkle formation also depends on the state of these structures.

Subcutaneous fat consists of fat and connective tissue. For each person, the development of this layer differs depending on the "fatness". There are also many vessels and nerves in the subcutaneous fat layer.

Features of the structure of the skin of the eyelids, around the eyes and lips:

• the skin around the eyes is very thin, four times thinner than the skin of the face;
• thinner water-fat layer due to fewer sebaceous and sweat glands;
• the dermis contains less collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid;
• the subcutaneous fat layer is absent or practically not developed;
• increased supply of blood vessels and nerve endings.

This all makes the skin around the eyes and lips more vulnerable and requires special attention, because the first wrinkles appear in this area.

Skin types

Cosmetologists distinguish between four types of facial skin. The gradation is based on the condition of the sebaceous and sweat glands, that is, the moisture and oiliness of the skin.

Types of facial skin:

• Normal skin- looks good, is not very sensitive to the action of environmental factors, is least susceptible to the formation of wrinkles.
• Dry skin is usually delicate, with almost no pores visible on it. But such skin is prone to faster irritation and early wrinkling (with improper care).
• Oily skin- usually shines, capillaries are translucent, pores are enlarged. Acne and pustules are often formed on it. But on the other hand, such skin is less vulnerable to the action of various irritants and later forms wrinkles.
• Combination skin- the most problematic. In the forehead, nose, lips and chin, the skin is usually oily, while the rest of the face is normal or dry.

The selection of caring, anti-aging and decorative cosmetics depends on the type of skin.

How are wrinkles formed?

1. Under the influence of various causes of early aging or age deteriorates nutrition and blood circulation dermis and subcutaneous fat, as well as facial muscles.
2. In the epidermis fewer basal keratocytes are formed and the number of dead horny cells increases, their normal exfoliation is disrupted, the skin becomes rough and flaky, more rough. Also the number of melanocytes decreases, the skin grows dull. As a result, there is a violation of sebum discharge, all metabolic processes in the skin deteriorate.
3. The work of the sebaceous and sweat glands is disrupted, the water-fat layer becomes thinner, the skin becomes dry and dehydrated.
4. Fibroblast renewal slows down As a result, less collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid are formed, the connective tissue loses its original structure. The skin loses its elasticity and wrinkles easily, forming furrows and folds - wrinkles.
5. Decrease in the content of hyaluronic acid in the skin leads to dehydration of the dermis. The negative effect of various toxins on the skin is also enhanced, which aggravates all processes of wrinkle formation.
6. Thick or thin subcutaneous fat layer also affects the formation of wrinkles. So, with its lack, the elasticity of the entire skin decreases, and with its excess, all metabolic processes of the skin are disrupted, its wilting occurs.

As a result, the skin gradually becomes wrinkled, flabby, dull and dry.

Another important role in the development of wrinkles is played by the condition of the facial muscles, when they are overexcited and sagging, facial folds and various sagging skin develop.

Types and types of facial wrinkles

According to the severity of wrinkles are:
1. Superficial- changes occur to a greater extent in the epidermis. Such wrinkles are often found on their faces by young girls and women. The main reason for the appearance of shallow wrinkles is dry skin and facial muscle tension (expression lines).
2. Deep- changes occur in the dermis and subcutaneous fat, the elasticity of the skin is lost, it becomes flabby, sagging of the stretched skin appears. These are usually age-related wrinkles and, unfortunately, they practically cannot be smoothed out by conventional cosmetic procedures.

Also, according to the severity of wrinkles, they can be divided into dynamic and static... The first ones are not visible in a calm state, they are noticeable only with the tension of the facial muscles. The latter cannot be hidden behind a mask of calmness.

Types of wrinkles due to their occurrence:
1. Mimic- occur when the muscles of the face are strained.
2. Gravitational- the result of sagging skin due to its poor firmness and elasticity.
3. Age- wrinkles associated with aging usually cover the entire surface of the face.

Types of wrinkles depending on the location
Each person is individual, like his wrinkles, which is explained by genetic characteristics and different habits. Among the people, the appearance of certain types of wrinkles is associated with both the character and the severities of the life lived.

You can cope with the first wrinkles on your own by changing your lifestyle and properly caring for your skin. Various homemade masks or ready-made plant-based anti-wrinkle products with innovative ingredients will come to the rescue.

Skin care and wrinkle-free skin

It is necessary to resort to the fight against aging of the skin of the face even in youth, and it is necessary to approach this comprehensively and correctly, and most importantly, all our efforts must be regular, because the effect will be only from daily efforts on ourselves. Proper facial care will allow you to cope not only with the wrinkles that have already appeared on the face, but also to prevent the development of new wrinkles and postpone old age for later.

Anti-aging complex for skin care

1. Facial cleansing- a prerequisite for healthy skin. During the day, the skin of the face is always contaminated with dust, harmful substances from the environment, sweat and sebum. Make-up is also such pollution. All this clogs pores, impairs metabolic processes and slows down the restoration of the epidermis, and as a result, the skin fades, becomes inflamed and wrinkles. Here are some simple guidelines for cleansing your face:

• Going to bed with makeup is a crime against facial skin.
• All manipulations on the face should be gentle and gentle, strong rubbing, stretching and friction of the skin injure it, lead to a faster appearance of wrinkles.
• You can cleanse your skin with soap and water (cosmetic or baby soap), but it is better to use special cleansers or makeup removers for this. These funds are applied to cotton pads, which are used to wipe the face.
• Dry skin should be cleaned with moisturizers, for example, milk, and oily skin - with lotions and fruit extracts, and in the presence of acne, salicylic acid will help. But for problematic sensitive skin, ordinary vegetable oil, for example, olive oil, as well as decoctions of chamomile or calendula, are suitable. Also for sensitive skin micellar water is suitable, which contains unique water crystals - micelles. Micelles are able to remove grease, makeup and dust, and are absolutely free of fragrances and other irritating substances.
• Many face masks also cleanse the skin, such as fruit, cucumber, clay, aloe, and others. It is ideal for sensitive skin. It is recommended to carry out cleansing masks 1-2 times a week.

2. Peeling or removal of the top layer of the epithelium. This is necessary to accelerate the recovery of the epidermis, as well as to improve the penetration of nutrients and moisturizers. This procedure rejuvenates well and smoothes superficial wrinkles. It is important to know that peeling is not carried out in the areas around the eyes and lips, in the presence of inflammatory and allergic reactions on the skin, as well as before going out into the sun or frost.

Peeling types:

• Scrub: a special cosmetic product, coffee grounds, salt, oat flour, semolina and whatever comes to hand.
• Washcloth - a special soft washcloth is needed for the face, and when using it, you must not make rough movements.
• Acids and enzymes - fruit acids, salicylic, retinoic acids, honey, etc.
• Procedures in beauty salons: peeling with a laser, acids, enzymes. Such procedures are especially indicated in the presence of pigmentation.

Peeling with a scrub or washcloth can be carried out 1-2 times a week. A deeper peel is usually recommended 2 to 6 times a year (depending on the method and individual characteristics).

3. Moisturizing and nourishing the skin of the face. Almost any type of cleaning damages the upper water-fat layer of the epidermis or the protection of our skin, so after it it is advisable to moisturize the skin. To do this, use a moisturizing and nourishing cream or mask. When choosing these funds, you need to take into account the peculiarity of your skin and the presence of a particular problem. The mask differs from the nourishing cream in that it is able to very quickly and effectively nourish the skin, as if it pushes out wrinkles, and gives a visible result. This procedure must be carried out every few days or in courses. The cream, on the other hand, has a cumulative effect and is necessary for daily use. If we compare these funds with each other, then a mask is a more effective remedy than a cream, and their use in combination gives the very desired result. It is also important to use separate special care products for the skin around the eyes and lips.

4. Decorative cosmetics for make-up- an integral part of self-care for the majority of the fair sex. But its improper use leads to faster aging and aging of the skin.

Requirements for decorative cosmetics:

• Cosmetics should be of high quality and as natural as possible, not cause allergic reactions and have a good shelf life.
• Should not clog the pores of the skin. It is applied in a thin layer - a thick layer of makeup does not paint anyone.
• Before applying makeup, the skin must be cleansed and moisturized.
• Make up should only be applied with clean sponges and brushes.
• Make-up must be removed in time.

Of course, there is a lot of work on oneself, but beauty and youth require sacrifices. If you take care of yourself every day, the result will not be long in coming.

How to hide wrinkles with makeup?

1. Mandatory hydration before applying decorative cosmetics - it can be masks, creams, serums, gels and other products. It is important that the moisturizer is completely absorbed, the excess can be blotted with a clean cloth.

2. Correct tinting agents: for wrinkles, creams with a silky structure are needed, which will additionally moisturize the skin. It is undesirable to use tonal bases with a greasy and dense consistency. The color of the toner is also important, it should not be lighter than your skin tone.

3. Correct application of foundation:

• the foundation is applied from the center of the face to the periphery (along the massage lines), while light tapping and stroking movements with your fingers are needed, the “foundation” can also be applied using a sponge and brushes;
• avoid applying foundation on deep skin folds;
• using a clean sponge, you need to remove the product from the wrinkle area;
• the powder should be compact, it is better to apply it with a brush over the cream on the forehead, nose and chin;
• in the area under the eyes, it is better not to use powder, only a cream will do.

4. Use concealer. Wrinkle folds are toned using a special corrector - concealer, it has a water base, is easily absorbed, its color is matched to one tone two lighter than the main tone. They can also mask bruises and bags under the eyes. The concealer is applied with a thin brush and only to limited areas of the skin, in the form of small strokes.


5. Correction of wrinkles in the eye area:

• do not apply mascara and eyeliner in the area of ​​the lower eyelid, only the upper eyelids should be emphasized;
• a pencil of light color, from white to beige, can be applied to the mucous contour of the lower eyelid - this will give a clear look to the look;
• do not use too dark, bright and pearlescent shadows - this will accentuate every wrinkle, matte bed-color shadows one or two shades darker than the skin are better suited.

6. Correction of wrinkles in the lip area:

• deep wrinkles around the lips can be hidden with concealer;
• matte and dark lipsticks will accentuate wrinkles, lip gloss is better, and if a lighter lipstick tone is applied in the central part of the lips, this will visually add volume to them;
• it is important that the lipstick or lip gloss does not bleed, in this case cosmetics as concealer will fill in every wrinkle and color it.

Anti-wrinkle water

Water is the main component of our body. And the more it is in the skin, the more elastic and beautiful it looks. Many studies have proven that people who drink more than 2 liters of purified water per day, wrinkles appear much later. It has also been proven that a good drinking regimen will help smooth out existing fine expression lines. So there is no way without water, the main thing is that it is clean, mineral and non-carbonated. It is also important to remember that water must be drunk between meals, half an hour before and half an hour after meals.

But besides the water we drink, the water we wash with is very important. It should also be clean, preferably mineral, free of chlorine impurities and at a temperature that is pleasant for the skin.

• tingling of facial muscles;
• short patting and tapping with the pads of the fingers;
• vibrating movements with the whole palm.

It is advisable to use these massage techniques alternately, replacing each other over the entire face, or one of the methods for certain areas of the face. So, in the eye area, only small taps with the fingertips are necessary.

To achieve the desired results, facial massage should be performed daily for 15-20 minutes, or in periodic courses of 7-10 procedures.

In addition to the classic facial massage, there are many unique massage techniques, the most popular is the Japanese Asahi (Zogan) facial massage technique.

Japanese anti-aging facial massage Zogan (Asahi)

This method was improved and suggested by the Japanese beauty industry specialist Yukuko Tanaka.

The main positive effect of this massage is lymphatic drainage. By improving the drainage of the lymphatic vessels, the skin quickly gets rid of harmful substances and excess fluid, the processes of metabolism and rejuvenation are triggered.

Zogan massage also implies a deep study of facial muscles, which well models the contours of the face and prevents the development of facial muscles.

According to Yukuko, such a massage awakens the positive energy of muscles and skin, revitalizes the face and preserves youth for many years. And many more argue that regular Zogan massage can even replace facial plastic.

To carry out such a massage on your own, you need to clearly know where the lymph nodes in the face are located.

Botulinum therapy

It is recommended to use Botox for the correction and prevention of forehead wrinkles after 35 years. However, it is also not worth starting too early injections. The age at which botulinum therapy is started is individual. Before carrying out such injections, you should consult with the doctor who will carry out the procedure and listen to his opinion.

What is injected in the forehead for wrinkles? Most beauty salons use botulinum toxin type A, which, when injected into the muscles, blocks the release of acetylcholine. This substance is required to transmit a nerve impulse to muscle cells and cause them to contract. The introduction of botulinum toxin is accompanied by persistent muscle relaxation and smoothing of mimic wrinkles.

The main poppies and manufacturers of botulinum toxin preparations:

• a French drug that can also be found under the Azzalure brand (Switzerland);
• / Vistabel (USA);
• / Bocouture (Germany);
• / Prosigne (China) and Relatox (RF) are also allowed in Russia.

The activity of drugs is measured in units named after the original Speywood Unit manufacturer.

Botulinum toxin powder is diluted with saline to a concentration of 200 U / ml. The diluted preparation can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours. The injections are given with an insulin syringe.

Correction of forehead wrinkles with Botox injections

To smooth out wrinkles on the forehead between the eyebrows, the drug is injected at 5 points: one above the bridge of the nose, two above each eyebrow. In Russia, the introduction is often used only at 3 points: above the bridge of the nose and above the inner edges of the eyebrows. The total dose of Dysport is usually 50 units. The most common adverse events are headache, redness and soreness at the injection site for several days after application. When they appear, you can take conventional pain relievers.

Some patients experience ptosis (drooping) of the upper eyelid. To prevent it, the doctor must observe the dose and the injection site. The situation corrects itself without any treatment for several weeks.

The introduction of botulinum toxin helps to get rid of vertical wrinkles on the forehead for up to six months. Then the introduction must be repeated. The effect of the toxin decreases with facial massage, frequent visits to the bath or sauna, solarium.

If, due to a decrease in the amount of fiber in the glabellar region after 2-3 weeks, the effect is not pronounced enough, it is necessary to enter into this zone.

Filler injections in the forehead area

You can also get rid of horizontal wrinkles on the forehead with the help of botulinum therapy. It is a safe and effective method and is often used in conjunction with eyebrow injections. The drug is injected into 4-6 points located in the form of an arc, 4-5 cm above the eyebrows. This allows you to avoid such a rare and self-passing complication as ptosis (drooping) of the eyebrow. The total dose of botulinum toxin does not exceed 60 units. In some cases, multifocal injection of the drug is used at 10-14 points, which allows achieving a more uniform effect and reducing the likelihood of complications.

Correction of forehead wrinkles with botulinum toxin is effective only for mimic changes. In other cases, more serious interventions are needed.

Thread lifting

Removing forehead wrinkles with botulinum toxin can be supplemented. This procedure involves the introduction of fine threads under the skin, which straighten wrinkles and hold the skin, preventing it from sagging. The procedure is carried out 2 weeks after the botulinum toxin injection. This procedure is recommended for women 35-55 years old. At an older age, the effect may be unsatisfactory.

For lifting, threads made of material compatible with human tissues are used. For young patients, forehead sutures made of absorbable materials (,) are recommended, for women over 40, sutures made of non-absorbable materials () that support the skin are recommended. The effect after the procedure lasts from 2 to 5 years. Such threads have notches, knots that catch on the tissue and strengthen them. Previously, gold threads were used, now they have been abandoned.

The manipulation is performed under local anesthesia. It must be remembered that the forehead thread lifting is effective only in combination with botulinum toxin injections, because mimic movements can negate the holding effect of the threads.

The recovery period after the procedure lasts up to 2 weeks. At this time, you cannot touch your forehead, wash your face, sleep on your side or on your stomach - all these actions can lead to displacement of the threads. The lifting effect becomes clearly visible one month after the procedure.

The introduction of threads under the skin of the forehead is contraindicated in cases of blood clotting disorders, allergic diseases, malignant tumors, pregnancy and breastfeeding, skin diseases.

As a result, the skin is smoothed, it becomes more elastic, its color improves, the pores are reduced, and a lifting effect is formed.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Using a syringe, the doctor injects the medicated mixture into the skin. Reddening of the skin is possible within 1-2 hours after administration. After 1 day, small bruises may appear at the injection sites - needle marks, the same as when botulinum toxin was injected. In general, the procedure is well tolerated and has practically no contraindications.

SMAS lifting

Most suitable for women with thin skin. It is based on increasing the elasticity of the layer between the skin and muscles. In addition, under the influence of ultrasound, the process of formation of new elastic fibers begins. This method is more suitable for correcting drooping eyelids, cheeks, chin sagging. However, in combination with other methods of correcting forehead wrinkles (biorevitalization, botulinum toxin injections, etc.), this type of intervention causes a persistent anti-aging effect.

Local anesthesia is used for the procedure, only 1 visit to the doctor is required. Rehabilitation is practically not required, only for several days it is not recommended to visit the bathhouse, sunbathe, or go in for sports. Ultrasonic SMAS lifting is best performed for women under 50 once a year. The maximum effect develops 3-4 months after the procedure.

Forehead wrinkles: types and causes

Wrinkles are depressions in the skin resulting from a breakdown in the fibers of the epidermis, collagen and elastin.

They come in two varieties:

• mimic - folds that arise due to excessive muscle contraction; people with active facial expressions are prone to the formation of such wrinkles;
• age-related - wrinkles that form during age-related changes, when the epidermis loses its elasticity and cannot retain a lot of moisture.

As a result of the active work of the muscles of the face, mimic wrinkles appear in girls quite early.

There are many reasons that lead to the formation of wrinkles in the forehead area:

• diets: during weight loss, the fat layer is burned, the skin loses its elasticity and sags;
• stress: any worries and experiences leave a noticeable imprint on the face;
• low-quality cosmetics: such products contain many additives that negatively affect the skin;
• unhealthy diet: an unbalanced diet that is not enriched with vitamins causes the formation of early wrinkles;
• too frequent exposure to the sun: so the skin quickly loses moisture, the epidermis cannot produce the required amount of collagen, as a result of which wrinkles appear on the face;
• pathology: diseases of the internal organs are also reflected in the skin; the body fights diseases, spends all its strength, leaving the skin without nutrients and oxygen;
• bad habits: smoking regular and electronic cigarettes, drinking alcohol and drinking too much coffee has a negative effect not only on the skin, but also on the entire body.

Smoking and overdoing coffee negatively impact women's health and beauty

Try to get rid of bad habits, start eating right, avoid stress. Only under such conditions will you be able to make the skin on the forehead even. Otherwise, even the most expensive creams and beautician services will not help you.

How to eat right to get rid of wrinkles

It is possible to remove wrinkles on the forehead and rejuvenate the skin with the help of proper nutrition.

• nuts: vitamin E contained in this product makes the skin elastic; nuts can be of any kind, the main thing is to eat them raw;
• bran bread: regulates the work of the sebaceous glands, prevents dryness and flaking of the skin;
• vegetable oil: contains lipids that maintain muscle elasticity and prevent the skin from drying out and losing moisture;
• mushrooms: they contain many vitamins (A, D, E, PP, B vitamins), which help to maintain the skin, hair and nails in good condition;
• fish, seafood: useful trace elements and fats contained in these products help to keep the skin smooth and protect it from dehydration;
• green tea: this drink contains a lot of antioxidants that protect the cells of the epidermis from the negative effects of the environment;
• fruits and vegetables: they are a real treasure of vitamins, fiber and other useful elements; help the skin to remain supple and elastic.

Seafood, fruits, vegetables and nuts are sources of vitamins and minerals that help keep skin youthful

Remember the list of foods that should be excluded from your diet in order to keep your face youthful and fresh for a long time:

To prevent the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead or to get rid of existing ones, adding healthy foods to the diet is not enough. You must also follow the diet. It is recommended to take food several times a day in small portions so as not to overload the stomach. The last meal should be about two hours before bedtime. If you have a snack before going to bed, then the body will not be able to fully rest, since it will be busy digesting food at night. In the morning, this will affect your well-being and appearance, in particular, on the face.
