An effective technique is plastic massage. Several types of shocks are provided - kneading, stroking, vibration. The program starts with surface effects and then moves into deep kneading.

Non-ablative exposure methods are recommended for women over 50 years of age. It differs in that there is no recovery process. This allows you to smooth out deep wrinkles without a recovery period.
Influence
In the first few days after exposure, the skin becomes inflamed.
You may notice:

During this month, the skin is particularly sensitive to the sun, so apply sunscreen before going out.
The effects of the procedure will become apparent after the peeling has stopped. Wrinkles are less deep, skin tightens and face looks fresh. But to achieve noticeable results, you need to go through a series of procedures. Their numbers are determined individually.
