Daily skin care. Facial treatments: the most popular and innovative methods

Daily self-care is just as necessary as proper nutrition and an active lifestyle. It allows you to look good and like yourself in the mirror. Taking care of ourselves, we prolong the youthfulness of the skin and fight wrinkles.

Personal care can be roughly divided into four types: facial care, body care, hand care and hair care. All parts of the body need attention. But how to find time if in the evening we return from work exhausted, and in the morning we want to sleep longer?

Finding time to take care of yourself

You should not neglect self-care, even if it seems to you that there is absolutely no time or energy for it. To make it easier to take care of yourself, make the procedure a standard and turn it into a habit. Set aside 30 minutes a day for this.

Wash your face along with brushing your teeth and eating. Morning and evening, every day.

Even if you are lazy and have no energy, force yourself to wash your face and apply a moisturizer. After a week of daily care, you will notice the difference and wash your face effortlessly because you know it will make you look your best.

The main thing is that the procedures for washing and care deliver as little trouble as possible and take as little time as possible. Therefore, keep all the means at hand so as not to look for the right tube or jar.

Also, plan your morning and evening. Cooking from a recipe is much easier than improvising. It is the same with daily self-care: if you know what and when you will do, the process becomes easier.

Likewise, plan your week. For example, on Monday and Thursday you pay attention to your hair, on Wednesday and Saturday you do facial procedures (masks, peeling, facial cleansing), on Sunday - for the body. Set aside another day for a manicure and pedicure. This does not take much time, especially if you have planned the process and transferred it from the category of extraordinary to everyday.

The key to success is consistency and consistency.

Facial care

No beauty treatments in beauty salons can replace daily facials.

Morning

Morning facial consists of three standard procedures: cleansing, moisturizing and sun protection.

cleansing

First, wash your face with gel, milk, micellar water or other facial cleanser (the choice is large - choose what is pleasant and comfortable to use). Do not wash your face with too hot water, so as not to dry out the skin. Do not seek to cleanse the skin to a “squeak” - this will wash off the protective layer, making it dehydrated and irritated. Use a mild cleanser. It should not tighten the skin and cause discomfort.

Moisturizing

After cleansing, wipe your face with tonic or lotion. It will remove the remaining water and cleanser. Then apply moisturizer to your face. It will retain moisture and protect the skin from dust and dirt.

Choose a cream based on skin type. As a rule, in winter it is a denser cream, in summer it is lighter. The main thing is that you are comfortable. If necessary, before applying the cream, you can use a moisturizing face serum.

Sun protection

If you spend more than 30-40 minutes outside a day, use a product with SPF. Sun protection is needed both in summer and winter: in cold weather, the radiation does not disappear, damaging the skin in the same way as in summer. Apply sunscreen over face moisturizer, or immediately use moisturizer with SPF.

Evening

Evening facial also consists of three procedures: cleansing, toning and moisturizing.

If you use decorative cosmetics, use a special makeup remover. After that, wash your face, as in the morning, and wipe the skin with tonic. Then apply moisturizer. You can use the same as in the morning, if it does not have sunscreens, or a special night one.

These are standard skincare routines. In addition to daily care, do moisturizing, nourishing, cleansing masks and peeling once or twice a week. Choose products according to your skin type and do not overdo it: using many products at once can cause irritation. In addition, it is necessary to monitor how cosmetic products are combined with each other.

Facial cleansing and massage at home

We are accustomed to the fact that cosmetologists perform hardware procedures using special tools. However, facial cleansing and massage can be done at home with the help of a cosmetic kit.


Scarlett SC-CA305M10 skin and nail care device

It is a good skin care assistant. The set includes four attachments: a brush for cleansing and peeling, a facial massager, a latex sponge for skin care around the eyes and a sponge for washing. The first cleanses and exfoliates the skin well, making moisturizers and serums better perform their functions. You need to use it once or twice a week - depending on the type of skin, so as not to damage the epidermis (the protective, topmost layer of the skin). The brush can be used instead of a scrub.

The facial massager promotes better blood circulation and helps maintain the definition of facial contours. If you can not find time for a salon massage, such a device is a good alternative.

The sponge for washing can be used every day when you use a cleanser. It is softer than a brush and gently cleanses the skin of daytime pollution.

The beauty and health of the skin depends not only on proper care, but also on daily habits. They do not require a lot of strength and energy, but have a great impact on the condition and appearance of the skin. It is enough to take these rules for yourself once to prolong the youthfulness of the skin.


Body care

Body care does not require much effort: the skin needs to be cleansed, moisturized, scrub once a week. The best time for skin care is before, during and after water treatments.

  • Take a contrast shower. It tones and cleanses the skin, while maintaining its firmness and elasticity. However, do not overdo it with the temperature of the water: hot water should not be boiling water, cold water should not be icy. Take a shower for a short time so as not to disturb the lipid layer of the skin.
  • Take a shower under warm or slightly hot water (it should not steam). Hot water destroys the lipid layer of the skin, causing it to become dehydrated and irritated.
  • If you take a bath, also monitor the temperature of the water and stay in it for no more than 20 minutes. In order not to overdry the skin, add special oils to the water, and then moisturize the skin well.
  • Use mild cleansers (for dry or sensitive skin). They gently cleanse the skin without damaging it.
  • Use moisturizers and lotions after showering. You can apply them directly to damp skin to enhance the effect.
  • Use a scrub once a week: it removes old cells and renews the skin. In addition, exfoliation helps moisturizers absorb better into the skin and extend their duration.
  • The use of a body scrub can be replaced by a dry brush massage: thanks to this procedure, the skin becomes smooth and toned. At first, such a massage seems painful, but then the discomfort disappears.
  • Don't forget about physical activity. Walk down the street or to the gym - the main thing is that you lead an active lifestyle. For example, WHO recommends Global recommendations for physical activity for health. at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week (even walking is considered a moderate step).

Hand and foot care


Hair care

Washing hair is a traumatic process. Wet hair is more prone to breakage and damage, so it's important to wash, dry and condition your hair properly.

How to choose a shampoo

Choose a shampoo according to the type of scalp, not hair. We wash our hair precisely in order to cleanse it (and not the hair itself) of sebum. Therefore, apply shampoo to the hair roots and the head itself, paying less attention to the tips. They will get their fair share of cleansing when you wash the cleanser off the roots.

If you have dry skin on your face, then your scalp is also likely to be dry. Choose gentle shampoos, even if you have oily skin. To avoid irritation, it is better to use a mild shampoo and wash your hair more often than to use an aggressive hair product twice a week.

How often to wash your hair

The frequency of hair washing also depends on the type of skin: there are no strict recommendations on how often you need to wash your hair. Wash them when they get dirty. If you use styling products every day, then washing your hair daily is completely justified. Don't try to "retrain" your hair by washing it once a week in the hope that it will become less greasy. They won’t: subcutaneous fat is the result of hormones, and not the frequency of shampooing. However, do not wash your hair too often, because in response to irritation, the skin may begin to secrete more oil and begin to peel.

The conditions are simple:

Every woman strives to keep her charm, and each does it in her own way. But for some reason, not everyone is able to spend a few minutes on 4 stages of daily facial care. You can constantly experiment with your hairstyle, you can spend money on expensive outfits and makeup consultations. But neither elegant clothes, nor skillful make-up and a new haircut will return a healthy look to your skin, a young oval of the face and will not smooth out fine wrinkles, and in fact they betray the age of a woman treacherously.

The first signs of skin aging (wrinkles near the eyes, around the mouth, on the neck) often go unnoticed by us. By the age of thirty, anxiety and unwillingness to admit that time is taking its toll appear. "Need to do something!" - we say to ourselves, but often for some reason we put off taking care of our skin “until later” and we catch ourselves only when its color becomes dull, wrinkles are deep, weakened skin sags, does not follow facial features so clearly, needs lifting. And we run to the beautician with the hope that he, like a magician, in an instant, will restore our youth and make us beautiful. Yes, cosmetologists can do a lot, but this does not negate the need for daily home skin care. It consists of 4 stages:

Stage 1 - Cleansing

You need to cleanse your face both in the morning and in the evening. In the morning it is a preparation of the face for applying makeup, in the evening - a night cream. When cleansing, dead flakes of the stratum corneum of the skin, stale sebum, as well as waste products of bacteria are removed. In the evening, cleansing removes makeup residues, dirt that has fallen on the face during the day, cleansed skin will be ready for maximum perception of the night cream.

When washing any type of skin, it is not recommended to use soap - it degreases it too much, after which dryness and irritation occur, soap tightens skin pores too much, not cleaning them well enough. In addition, soap is an alkali, it disrupts the normal acidity of the skin surface, destroys the lipid (fatty) barrier of the skin, which prevents the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms on it.

The face should be cleaned with gels, mousses, cosmetic milk. They almost do not violate the normal acidity of the skin, penetrate deep into the pores, dissolve solid particles of cosmetics well.

Stage 2 - Toning

After cleansing the face, be sure to wipe it with a tonic (lotion). Toning is an important moment of daily face care, for skin of any type, it should be done after each cleansing - twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. It is not true that only oily skin should be wiped with tonic. And the higher the alcohol content, the better. Even if the surface of the face is very oily, preference should be given to non-alcoholic tonics. Alcohol not only dries out normal and dry skin, but also enhances the activity of the sebaceous glands of oily skin. Dry skin should also be treated with a tonic after cleansing, with the only difference being that the tonic should be selected specifically for this type of skin.

  • removes the remains of a cleanser and decorative cosmetics from the surface of the skin;
  • moisturizes the skin, improves its tone;
  • has a slight anti-inflammatory effect;
  • normalizes the acidity of the skin surface;
  • cleanses and tightens skin pores;
  • prepares the skin for further care.

Stage 3 - Moisturizing and protection

Day cream is used in the morning or afternoon, both under makeup and without it, about half an hour before going outside. It should be applied not only on the face, but also on the neck.

The film that appears on the skin after applying the day cream performs a protective function, under it the skin suffers less from meteorological environmental factors, dust and dirt. In addition, the day cream prevents the evaporation of water from the surface of the skin, helps to maintain a sufficient level of moisture.

Day creams usually contain various active ingredients. Depending on their content and ratio, different day creams are used for different skin types, at different times of the year. In summer, you should use day creams containing sunscreens - substances that reflect or absorb ultraviolet radiation. They will protect the face from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation, leading to "photoaging" of the skin.

Stage 4 - Nutrition

In the evening, after cleansing and toning, a “night” cream is applied. Night creams are classified as "nourishing". They are selected according to the type and condition of the skin.

Night cream is applied 1-2 hours before bedtime; if it is not completely absorbed, the remnants should be blotted with a napkin. As in the case of a day cream, it is applied not only to the face, but also to the neck and décolleté.

Never apply a nourishing face cream to the areas around the eyes. Night creams are too oily, their composition and consistency are too “heavy” for this delicate area.

All movements, both when cleansing, toning the face, and when applying creams and masks, should be made only in the direction of the lines of least stretching of the skin: from the midline of the face to the auricles. Wipe your face only with blotting movements, without stretching the skin.

These main stages of skin care can be supplemented with masks, mechanical (scrubs) and chemical peels, etc. But there is no need to apply them daily.

Eyelid skin care

The skin around the eyes requires special attention every day - it is the thinnest and most sensitive, it has few sebaceous glands, it is highly extensible. Edema easily forms on the eyelids, wrinkles appear first of all. Applying and removing make-up is tiring and irritates the skin around the eyes. Therefore, cosmetics applied to this area should be of the highest quality.

Eye creams have a particularly light texture and are well absorbed. They should be applied morning and evening after preliminary cleaning of the eyelids.

Do not use face creams on your eyelids. For the skin around the eyes, use only products specially created for this area, tested by ophthalmological control.

Apply and remove cosmetics from the eyelids carefully, observing the directions of the least stretching of the skin (under the eye, movements should be directed towards the nose, and above the eye - towards the temple).

Clean your eyelids only with special gels and lotions. Protect your eyelid skin from the bright sun, choose products with ultraviolet filters.

Lip care

The skin of the lips is very thin, always exposed to wind, sun, frost and dry air. It does not have sebaceous glands, so it needs daily hydration and nutrition. Constant contraction of the facial muscles of the mouth contributes to the formation of wrinkles around the lips.

At night, and also when you do not apply decorative cosmetics, use special lip skin care products.

Pay attention to your lipstick contains moisturizing and softening ingredients, vitamins and UV filters. As a rule, lipsticks of reputable companies meet these requirements, and they are quite expensive. But remember that lipstick is not only on your lips throughout the day - most of it is eaten by you, so you should not use cheap lipsticks.

Neck care

The skin of the neck is very delicate and thin, it is prone to dryness, sagging, wrinkling, so it needs additional hydration and nutrition already in its youth.

Gradually caring for the face in the morning and evening, be sure to remember the neck. You can take care of it with the same products that you treat your face with: clean with cosmetic milk, wipe with tonic and apply a cream appropriate for the time of day. Some cosmetics manufacturers produce special products for neck care. They differ in that they do not leave marks on clothes.

If you learn how to properly care for your skin, it will not take much time. Give yourself 10 minutes in the morning and evening to cleanse and tone, during the day to moisturize, and in the evening to nourish your skin.

Your skin will respond positively to these treatments, but don't expect instant results the next day or a week later. Permanent changes in your appearance will not occur earlier than in a month, since each new cell needs to go through a full life cycle, which is 28 days. Don't move your facials over the weekend when you're more free. Only daily attention to yourself will reward you with smooth, supple skin that will retain its youth for many years.

So you want your favorite shade of lipstick to stay on your lips and please with its brightness for as long as possible! And how annoying it is to find out every time after eating or drinking worn out spots and a smeared texture. You can increase the lifespan of lipstick and make it super resistant in just 7 steps. So, here is a simple scheme to keep lipstick on the lips all day long.

Training

To begin with, we moisturize and nourish the lips to make them as even and smooth as possible. On such skin, the shade will lie better. You can use hygienic lipstick or colorless lip balm. It is enough to apply the product for 15-20 minutes, and then remove the excess with a napkin, and you can start makeup.

The foundation

Paint your lips after applying the tone as a last resort. Your regular foundation can be used as a base for lips, but it should be very small. Literally one small drop gently apply with your finger on the skin of the lips, and remove the excess with a napkin.

Pencil

It is important to have a pencil of a suitable shade complete with lipstick. They can easily create the perfect contour. And to make the lipstick last longer, carefully paint over the entire surface of the lips with a pencil. This technique will create the background necessary for the durability of lipstick.

Powder

Now you need to fix the base layer. Loose powder is perfect for this purpose. It is better to take mineral - it has no shade and has a silky texture.

Pomade

Now you can apply lipstick. Slowly and gently spread the product, not missing a corner or a crease. For quick and high-quality application, use a special lipstick brush.

Powder

Lipstick also needs to be fixed. Powder your lips again, barely touching a layer of lipstick. To preserve the juiciness of the shade, do this through a thin paper towel, and for a matte effect, powder the lips directly on top of the coating.

Repeat

In order to achieve maximum color fastness, repeat the pencil-powder-lipstick-powder sequence 1-2 more times.

Ready! Enjoy color and a flawless look without constant touch-ups.

Biologically, a person begins to age at about 25 years of age. It was then that the first signs appear, expressed in poor skin exfoliation, thickening of the stratum corneum, slowing down the regeneration process, faster evaporation of moisture, etc. Systematic visits to the beautician will help the client get rid of these symptoms.

You can do a facelift or laser resurfacing, which will reduce wrinkles and improve complexion. Thanks to modern thread technologies, it is possible to correct the oval of the face. With the help of Japanese facial massage, age-related changes in the skin can be made less noticeable.

What are the most popular skin care treatments?

Massage


Only the right selection of facial treatments guarantees the preservation of youthfulness and freshness of the skin. The most popular and effective facial treatment is massage. It is vacuum and lymphatic drainage.

A professional cosmetologist, developing an individual complex, will include light peeling and a half-hour massage of the face, neck and decollete. The session ends with a nourishing or rejuvenating face mask. It is reasonable to conduct a session at least once a week. In terms of effectiveness in restoring and maintaining youthful skin, massage has no equal. Already after five procedures, even on the most tortured skin, a positive result is clearly visible. Massage helps to moisturize the skin, stimulate the work of facial muscles that support the skin and prevent it from sagging.

Face cleaning


Skin cleansing - facial treatment. It can be ultrasonic or hardware, combined and mechanical. The most commonly used combination cleaning.

This facial treatment is completely painless, cleanses and tightens pores quite well. After the procedure, there may be slight redness, which quickly disappears, and the skin shines with a healthy glow.

Regular facial treatments keep the skin in good condition, and it needs to be cleansed only once a year. Running skin requires a monthly visit to a beautician and cleansing.

Peeling


Peeling can help restore the skin, increase collagen production, smooth and tighten the skin of the face. Facial treatments such as superficial-median and median peeling are considered effective.

With median peeling, the surface of the skin of the face is cleansed, all impurities are removed, pores are narrowed, fine wrinkles, small scars and irregularities are smoothed out. The nuance is that this type of peeling is carried out only in the cold season - in autumn or winter.

Another type of peeling is superficial-median, performed with the help of glycolic or fruit acids.

Fruit acid is applied to the skin surface, and then the pores cleansed by it are filled with oxygen.

This facial treatment ends with the application of a nourishing or moisturizing mask. This cleansing erases pigmentary changes, giving the skin a matte finish.

Fruit peeling can be done at any time. But after it, the client should not visit the solarium and the beach.

Median peeling is prescribed by a professional cosmetologist and depends on the age-related changes in the client's skin. Such facial treatments can be carried out twice a week, or maybe once every two weeks. Here everything is considered individually. After the course, a massage is prescribed.

Glycolic peels are also performed with an individual approach. Most often, it is once or twice a week.

Non-injection mesotherapy


The most effective remedy in the case when you need to additionally nourish the skin of the face. A mesotherapeutic cocktail consisting of hyaluronic acid, or a lipid-balanced cocktail, etc. is injected into the skin with a special device. This facial treatment moisturizes the skin from the inside and out, smoothing out fine lines and giving the skin a healthy look.

This is one of the most popular eye treatments. It is completely painless and leaves no marks.

The course consists of 5 or 10 procedures, depending on the initial condition of the skin.

Thermolifting


This hardware procedure for facial care and maintaining its ideal condition is the most popular among visitors to salons and beauty parlors. Thermolifting activates the body's own resources, enhances the production of collagen. The skin of the face after the course is beautiful, well-groomed. This is an absolutely safe procedure and very comfortable to carry out.

You can do thermal lifting not only on the face, but also on the neck, décolleté, skin around the eyes.

The peculiarity of this facial treatment is the cumulative effect, so the client needs to complete the full course. Ideally once or twice a week. The course for young skin is 8 procedures, and for aged skin - 10.

The result obtained is supported by a visit to the beautician once a month.

Facial treatments in the salon depending on the problem

According to many studies, skin aging is accelerated by the presence of one of the following four factors:

  • genetic predisposition;
  • bad habits of a person;
  • his wrong way of life;

Looking at them, you can see that at least three of the four factors we can control. For example, it is worth getting rid of the habits of puckering your eyebrows, sleeping with your face on a pillow, propping up your face, etc., as they all increase the appearance of facial wrinkles.

Dealing with stressful situations is difficult, but essential. You need to properly prioritize and not worry about trifles. This is at least. It is also important to avoid sleep deprivation.

How to Get a License to Provide Facial Treatments

To obtain a medical license, you will need:

  1. Determine the premises that are optimally suited for the planned business, give it the desired look, while taking into account all the requirements of the SES, which are individual for each type of activity.
  2. Compliance of the premises with the requirements of the SES gives a guarantee of obtaining a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion.
  3. Prepare all documents required to obtain a license.
  4. Highly qualified medical specialists, doctors with specialized education, who have five or more years of experience in their specialty, who have completed advanced training courses and correspond to your types of medical services, must perform facial care procedures of a medical orientation.
  5. The purchased medical equipment must be certified and comply with GOSTs covering your activities. It is necessary to determine in advance an organization that can service medical equipment, having a license for that, and conclude an agreement with it.
  6. Fulfill all other necessary requirements.

Step 1. We draw up a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion

It will take about a month to issue the conclusion of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision. Making this conclusion requires a fairly large package of documents. Required to have:

  • constituent documents (charter, memorandum of association, order on the appointment of the head);
  • certificates of state registration of the organization;
  • certificates of registration with the tax authority;
  • certificates of changes (done when changing the director or when making any changes in the constituent documents);
  • extracts from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
  • Goskomstat codes;
  • documents for non-residential premises: lease agreements. If it is concluded for a period of less than one year, then a certificate of ownership of the premises will be required;
  • floor plan of non-residential premises;
  • explications to the floor plan;
  • documents confirming the ownership of the equipment or permission to use it;
  • employment contracts, work books of personnel, for medical staff - with confirmation of work experience in this specialty for five or more years;
  • an order to appoint a head physician or an employee responsible for the medical part of the work. This employee must also have a higher medical education and proof of work experience in the specialty of five or more years;
  • copies of the act of sanitary and epidemiological examination;
  • documents confirming the medical education of personnel engaged in medical activities: diplomas, certificates and certificates of advanced training, certificates of employees;
  • staffing approved by the head of the organization;
  • certificates of quality of medical equipment (certificates of verification, certificates of calibration of equipment);
  • registration certificates for medical equipment manufactured after 2000;
  • contracts for the maintenance of medical equipment;
  • a document confirming the payment of the license fee for consideration of the application for granting by the licensing authority (about 6,000 rubles);
  • contracts with the necessary medical and preventive institutions;
  • metrological control of equipment.

Step 2. We select a room according to certain requirements

When choosing a room that meets all the requirements for a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion, carefully study the owner's documents, floor plan and explication. The following requirements must be met:

  • the presence of at least one bathroom on each floor;
  • Compliance with the area of ​​the medical room is not less than 14 sq. meters;
  • at least one window and ventilation. You should not even consider the basement, they will not work.

We have provided a list of the basic requirements required to obtain a free economic zone. All questions can be clarified on the website of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station.

Having issued the premises in ownership or under a lease agreement, you should prepare the remaining documents for obtaining a free economic zone. Required to have:

  • premises lease agreements;
  • floor plan of the premises;
  • explanations to the architectural plan of the premises (explication) with a description of the technical, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the building;
  • contracts for the removal of solid household waste and for the destruction of fluorescent lamps;
  • agreements on disinfection and a register of disinfectants;
  • laundry contracts;
  • contracts for the maintenance of air conditioners and ventilation.

A clinic performing any research in laboratories must provide protocols for these studies.

In addition, the registration of the SEZ is impossible without:

  • copies of employment contracts of employees;
  • contracts for medical examination of personnel;
  • sanitary-medical books of employees.

Step 3. We issue a medical license

Having received a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion, you should begin to staff the organization and prepare a package of documents necessary for obtaining a medical license. To do this, you need to study all the requirements for specialists, namely:

  • compulsory medical education in a highly specialized field of work;
  • at least five years of work experience in the profile specified in the diploma;
  • the presence of postgraduate or additional education in the medical field is welcome;
  • the presence of a certificate of additional education or the passage of specialized courses that improve qualifications is welcome;
  • Licensing authorities put forward special requirements for an employee who is recommended for the position of head physician.

The existence of an LLC requires the employment of qualified and responsible personnel. When registering an individual entrepreneur, the requirements of the head physician are presented personally to an individual entrepreneur. Accordingly, he himself must have a higher medical education and work experience in the specialty for more than five years. The founders of an LLC do not need to have a medical education to obtain a license.

The number of specialists required in the state to obtain a medical license directly depends on the planned activities. Usually it is from two to five people.

The following documents are required:

  • order on the appointment of the chief physician as the head of all medical issues. Mandatory requirement - the presence of higher medical education and work experience of more than five years;
  • diplomas, certificates and certificates confirming the appropriate education of the staff;
  • approved staffing table.

Among other things, medical offices must be equipped appropriately, and all equipment requires well-prepared documents.

  • Each type of activity has its own set of equipment. All equipment must be certified. In the medical office, everything is placed according to the requirements of the classifier according to GOSTs;
  • installation of medical equipment is carried out without fail only by an organization that has the right, confirmed by the presence of a license;
  • it is necessary to conclude an agreement with a company that has the right to carry out maintenance of medical equipment, confirmed by a license.

But properly executed documents will not save you from an on-site inspection of government agencies. The issuance of a license may also be denied on the basis of visual observations, for example, the unimportant condition of the walls, ceiling, ventilation, repairs, etc.

A medical license can be issued for three years or more, because the inspector does not voice all the shortcomings noticed, but indicates one from the whole list. Elimination of all inconsistencies requires the submission of documents again, as well as the departure of the inspector.

That is why most entrepreneurs who decide to open their own business and obtain a medical license for this turn to lawyers for qualified assistance. The duration of registration, as well as the cost of the service, depends on the general situation and the level of complexity of the preparation of documentation. On average, this is up to 45 working days and from 40 to 250 thousand rubles.

Legal support in obtaining a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion costs from 30 to 90 thousand rubles. It should be understood that each type of activity requires a different amount of work and budget: for a medical office, massage office, dentistry office or multidisciplinary medical clinic.

After collecting the necessary package of documents, filling out the application and paying the state duty, go to Roszdravnadzor. From the moment of submitting the application within 45 days, the entrepreneur either receives a license or a refusal, but clearly motivated. The authority may notify the absence of at least one document in the package within 30 days. If this situation repeats, obtaining a license may be delayed for several weeks and months, which threatens the company only with costs and fines. The main motive for refusing to obtain a license is non-compliance with the norms of the SES and the unreliability of the facts.

Innovative facial treatments

Anti-aging injections from dead horses, replacing Botox

Betty Bo, a 60-year-old English woman, is confident that she tried a completely new method of rejuvenation, replacing Botox injections with collagen injections taken from deceased horses. The product is obtained from the tendons of horses sent for slaughter. Completed a full course of beauty injections gave an incredible result - Betty began to look at least 10 years younger. Considering that earlier Betty did not perform any anti-aging facial procedures and started right away with the experiment. This created a sensation in cosmetology. It is possible that this method will soon become very popular.

The company that produces this product has already become interested in 85 beauty salons. The owners are sure that in a short time their product will become much more popular than Botox. Many women are ready to take a course of rejuvenation in order to maintain their former beauty and defeat age-related skin changes. Botox is a pure protein, artificially obtained from bacteria, and here only natural ingredients.

Studies have shown that collagen taken from dead horses and injected into human skin stimulates the release of its own. Being a natural protein, collagen contributes to the natural strengthening of skin cells from the inside, smoothing it and making it elastic.

Collagen production is also promoted by polylactic acid, obtained from calcium and some plants. It has been proven that horse and human collagen are very similar in structure. Just 3-4 ml is enough for the injection to stimulate the cells of the connective tissue, and the release of an additional supply of collagen begins.

Acupuncture

Another innovative non-surgical facial treatment. The method consists in injections with the thinnest needles at certain points on the face. As a result, the appearance of the skin improves and rejuvenates for 5 or even 10 years. It is not difficult to guess that the method came from traditional Chinese medicine. Each of us has at least 600 acupuncture points that are responsible for emotions, tissues or organs. The introduction of sterile thinnest needles into such points wakes up the energy channels of the human body.

Acupuncture sessions are like working out at the gym. The human body is made up of muscles, and the face is no exception. These muscles can only be used in this facial treatment. Acupuncture restores microcirculation of blood and lymphatic vessels. Unfortunately, serious scientific research on this topic has not been carried out, therefore, great importance is attached to possible injuries. But this does not affect the popularity of this service. The result becomes apparent only after 10 facials, each of which costs from 150 to 200 dollars. Thanks to acupuncture, the skin is also rejuvenated in a natural way, and a full-fledged course brings amazing results, in no way inferior to injections of artificial Botox.

The acupuncturist works only with the energy of the body and forces the patient's facial muscles to work, improving their tone, smoothing out wrinkles and improving complexion. A person noticeably rejuvenates, his skin acquires a fresh, healthy look, all traces of fatigue are removed, filling the face with the radiance of natural beauty.
