Every woman, at a certain age, when she can no longer hide it, she will begin to actively fight with it. Losing its previous attractiveness, fairness resorts to various methods to affect the wrinkles and pigmentation that have already appeared. Women are working hard to restore the elasticity of the skin, muscles and the previously oval face. Some people buy expensive cosmetics, some perform comprehensive exercises and take procedures such as plastic surgery, and some use traditional medical methods.
The most correct choice is those who use modern beauty procedures provided by professional clinics and salons.
Let us consider in more detail the method based on tightening the facial muscles.
Non-surgical methods for facial muscle tightening
Any operation is a risk and serious stress on the body. Every woman can turn to surgery. However, surgery is not always required to achieve the desired muscle tightening effect.
Women can fight time in a more harmless and gentle way. It should be noted that surgery may even be prohibited in some cases.
You can use the help of a beautician to arrange the oval shape, which will save a lot of money compared to surgery. Hardware plastic surgery is a fairly common procedure.
Lifting is one of the most popular hardware methods in beauty. Currently, there are many directions that can help tighten the face (correct oval shape, remove excess skin). Let's talk about the most famous ones.
Cryolifting is a muscle tightening method based on the temperature shock effect. The procedure is carried out using special equipment, and the temperature of its hardware nozzle is as high as -20°C. As the skin is affected by low temperature, facial swelling is reduced, collagen production is faster, and capillary activity is stimulated. Achieve maximum effect in the course (from six to ten programs).
Ultrasonic SMAS lifting is a muscle tightening method. The effect is obvious after the first use. It is fixed within three months and the effect can last up to five years. By using ultrasound on the muscles and ligaments (the deep layers of the skin on the face and neck), the beautician can achieve the desired changes. The fastening mechanism works according to the principle of an ultrasonic machine. The experts on the monitor observe in real time how the soft tissue changes and which layer is affected by the equipment.
RF boost. The essence of this method of tightening muscles is the effect of radio frequency pulses on the facial skin. During the operation, the epidermis heats up, thereby contracting collagen fibers and muscles. After the fourth course of treatment, the change was obvious: the skin on the face became denser and firmer. Due to the cumulative effect after a few months, the result will be even better.
Lattice photothermal effect is a technique that uses laser correction to lift facial muscles. Radiation eliminates existing collagen, awakens epidermal cells and facial muscles, and promotes the production of new collagen in the shortest time. Due to this activity of cells, the skin obtains a pleasant color, luster and smoothness. To achieve this effect, at least three procedures are required.
Acupuncture promotion-acupuncture. In this process, a special needle is used, which acts on the biologically active spots on the human face. Certain skills are required to use this technique. It is necessary to know the location of the desired point. Due to the activation of muscle fibers, the facial contours caused by this muscle tightening become clearer.
This method has obvious advantages:
- Safety. Unlike other muscle tightening methods, there are almost no side effects and complications.
- The fastest visible result.
- Due to the influence on facial nerve endings (biologically active points), acupuncture has a positive effect on the body (internal organs, muscles).
- This method promotes relaxation and has an anti-stress effect.
- You can combine acupuncture lifting with other cosmetic procedures. Through integrated methods, longer results can be obtained.
Pros and cons of non-surgical facial tightening

Surgical methods to tighten facial muscles
Wrinkle reduction (circular lift) is an operation to tighten facial muscles. Its task is to remove fat, deposits, excess tissue, and to remove deep wrinkles (face and neck), double chin and nasolabial folds. The result is a significant rejuvenation.
It can be deep, shallow and mixed.
The superficial wrinkle treatment consists of three stages:
- Cut from the hairline in the temple area, down the visible border of the auricle, and then under the earlobe, back to the hair border behind the ear. If you need to remove the second chin, make another incision: make an incision in the lower jaw from the inside near the chin.
- In addition, the skin is separated from the underlying tissues. Remove excess muscle and, if necessary, remove fat cells.
- The final stage is firming. The edges are aligned and the seams are applied.
SMAS-lifting is a method to eliminate wrinkles through facial contour correction. During the operation, the tendon and muscular fascial complex are displaced simultaneously with the superficial wrinkle removal. The results have long-term effects, but at the same time recovery time increases.
Combined wrinkle surgery. Using this method, correction occurs due to tissue tension in different directions. Remove excess tissue near the outer edge of the masseter muscle is added to the surface and deep round lifts.
The operation may take two to six hours. It all depends on the type, complexity, and desired result of the program. The recovery period usually takes about three weeks, including elimination of physical exertion. Do not lift weights, do italics. Need to sleep on your back. It is necessary to limit exposure to the sun, heat exposure (do not take a bath, do not go to the sauna and bathroom for about three months).
The result will be achieved in 3 months and will last for 5-10 years.
SMAS Plastic Surgery (Space Lifting) is the latest technology used to correct the oval and relief of the face while eliminating wrinkles. Through this lift, the muscle tissue is displaced. Unlike the circles that only affect the upper layer of the skin, here they affect the deep layers and structures (muscles). After SMAS plastic surgery and the recovery period, the face returned to its natural state, the dermis was not stretched, and the shape of the eyes and the line of the mouth did not change.
The process is similar to a circular elevator. The only difference is that after the incision, the doctor moves the subcutaneous fibromuscular layer, removes the excess fat tissue, and then forms an oval face and sutures it. At the same time, the skin will not stretch.
After 10-12 days, the stitches can be removed. The final effect can be seen after two months, and the effect will last at least 12 years, or even 15 years.
S-lift. This surgery is suitable for those who have not experienced serious age-related changes (muscle deformities), or for the second surgery. It is called short scar or short flap lift.
It contains SMAS promotion technology. It affects the top and deep tissue structures of the skin. The face is lifted, rejuvenated and looks natural, not as tight as a mask.
This method is the least traumatic. The small seams still exist. They are located behind the ears and cannot be seen by strangers. This surgery aims to obtain a uniform contour of the jaw and correct this part of the face.
Operation phase:
- In females, an incision is made behind the tragus and males in front.
- At the desired location, the surgeon fixes the soft tissue and then sutures the cheekbones to the periosteal tissue.
- The skin flap is removed, the SMAS lift is completed, and internal sutures are applied.
Advantages of S-lift:
- A neat little incision, almost invisible after stitch removal.
- Due to the selected method of removing excess tissue, the risk of facial nerve damage is minimized.
- The operation duration is short and mild anesthesia is used.
- The risk of complications is minimal.
- low cost.
- Fast recovery period.
Disadvantages of S-lift:
- If there are deep, superficial wrinkles, it may not be effective.
- The pain during chewing may be caused by the internal seams on the cheekbones.
Examination lift is a type of surgery that allows you to get rid of age-related changes in the middle third of the face (bag under the eyes, deep nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks). The beautician recommends this operation in conjunction with blepharoplasty.
Through this procedure, wrinkles and sagging skin can be eliminated. The swelling disappeared from the face.
In this way, an incision is made in the skin of the eyelid. It is usually chosen as an alternative to wrinkle removal. The recovery period starts from two weeks. The effect will last for 5-7 years.
Advantages: The operation time is 40-90 minutes, the facial expression and five senses are preserved, and the pain syndrome is minimal during the recovery period.
Disadvantages: rare, but complications may still occur.
MAX-lifting is a kind of S-lifting. The main difference is that a shortened incision was made during the operation. Like S-lifting, the basis of this method is to remove excess skin and lift the deep structural layers of the face.
Advantages of this method:
- Minimal risk factor for high performance.
- Effectively remove the sagging skin in the middle and lower parts of the face, smooth the nasolabial folds, and correct the oval (angle) between the neck and the chin.
- The recovery period is short.
- The suture method lifts the eyes to the cheekbones and opens the eyes visually.
- Facial expressions are not disturbed, and people look natural.
Disadvantages include possible complications caused by surgery: bruising, inflammation, hematoma, edema.
Injection technique to tighten facial muscles
An excellent alternative to surgery. Thanks to this process, the effect can be achieved as quickly as possible without sacrificing durability. There is no recovery period and no strict restrictions. The price is comparable to the cost of the hardware course.
3D filament-This method is based on creating a subcutaneous frame from very thin filaments. The materials used to make the latter will dissolve over time. This method can eliminate deep wrinkles, smooth the skin, and tighten the oval face. The whole process takes half an hour or an hour and is carried out under local anesthesia. The results will last up to two years.
Contour plastic is the fact that a special material is injected under the skin-hyaluronic acid. It does not cause rejection and allergic reactions. The substance fills the areas where deep wrinkles are formed and helps to shape the desired facial contours.
For injections, local anesthesia (spray or gel) is sufficient. This method does not actually cause pain. The effect lasts for 12 to 20 months.
Volume modeling (soft lifting) is a method similar to contour plastic using Swedish technology. The difference is that the injection of the drug is deeper. In this process, the gaps in the wrinkles are filled, you can restore the relief, and even edit the shape of the chin and cheekbones to correct asymmetry. The results are often compared to plastic surgery. The effect lasts for one year.
Biorevitalization-Hyaluronic acid injection is the same, but low molecular weight. Gives the skin a moisturizing and rejuvenating effect, giving the skin a healthy appearance. It is widely used between 25-35 years of age, when there were no serious age-related changes, but the first signs of aging were already obvious. This acid can last about 12 months.
Bioaugmentation. This method uses the gel-like consistency of hyaluronic acid. When injected under the skin, the substance will be distributed and form an extra frame, thus forming the necessary oval shape of the face. It is recommended for people aged 40-45 to use this method. The results lasted for a year.
Plasmolifting, PRP method-the technique whose name is derived from this procedure. When the customer's plasma is injected into the platelet-rich subcutaneous, rejuvenation occurs. In epidermal cells, the metabolic process accelerates and the skin begins to oxidize. The cells regenerate on their own. The skin acquires a natural tone, and wrinkles and folds are smoothed. This program has been provided since the age of 25 to prevent aging. After 35 years, it is most effective to combine these operations with other courses, and then the results will be as stable and significant as possible.
Mesotherapy is the introduction of a cocktail of mesoderm under the skin. This is a biological component (hyaluronic acid, vitamins, etc. ) specially selected for patients, formed according to existing problems. Take 3-4 courses to achieve a good effect of tightening muscles. It is recommended to do it when the first signs of skin aging and problems (age spots, acne, etc. ) occur.

For this, you can use herbal extracts (wormwood, chamomile, dandelion leaves).
Temperature contrast technique (alternating application of hot and cold compresses) and gymnastics are effective to tighten facial muscles.
Modern cosmetics contain substances that can slightly adjust the shape of the face. Therefore, you can see various creams containing collagen, protein and amino acids on the shelves. In addition, they have added a lot of plant extracts and vegetable oils, as well as the well-known vitamins E, A, and C. Some formulas include beeswax, hop estrogen, blue clay.
