Beautiful skin after weight loss - a myth or a real possibility?

Cosmetologists have long known the paradox when a woman loses weight to look younger, but with weight loss, her skin loses its tone, and as a result, a lover of strict diets begins to look even older than her years. Especially often this happens to women over the age of forty, when the skin after losing weight does not have sufficient resources of its own to "retain" it. faces. A patient seeking to lose weight should be explained the importance of cosmetic support for this process. What types of procedures should be recommended to maintain skin tone, consider with estet-portal.com.

What will be the skin after losing weight, depends on the preparation for the diet

Unfortunately, cosmetologist patients, when planning to lose weight well, do not always consult their doctor about skin support measures. If the plans are to reduce weight by more than five kilograms, then the process of dealing with excess body weight must necessarily take place in parallel with skin care. If the patient is younger than 30 years old, then it is quite possible that home care will be enough for her, and her skin tone will completely cope with the loss of even 10-15 kg of weight. But older patients should be aware that skin problems after intensive weight loss can become very serious – and not the fact that a specialist will be able to fully cope with them.

The cornerstone of the whole diet period should be two mandatory daily activities for the skin: cleansing and moisturizing.

Intensive fat burning process is accompanied by active  excretion of metabolic products – including through the skin. To maintain the skin during the preparation and start of the diet, a home care program should be recommended to the patient:

• intensive cleansing preparations according to skin type, preferably with good foaming;
• moisturizing serums or concentrates;
• if there are vascular problems – soothing serums to be used in the evenings;
• 2-3 times a week apply mild exfoliants and moisturizing masks.

In the salon, a patient who has begun an intensive process of losing weight should undergo a deep cleansing procedure, remove dead skin particles, even out the epithelium, and moisturize the skin well.

At this stage, chemical peels and injection procedures, laser facial cleansings are not recommended, but gas-liquid peels and superficial dermabrasion.

What determines the beauty and health of the skin after weight loss

In the process of intensive weight loss, when the diet program provides for the loss of about 200 g of body weight per day, weekly professional salon treatments are recommended – massage, microcurrents, ultrasonic influences, iontophoresis. In addition, the patient should be advised for more intensive home care:

• daily firming serums and concentrates;
• active night cream with peptides, vitamin E;
• active cleansing procedures.

During intensive weight loss, the reparative abilities of the skin are significantly reduced, and therefore products with acids and retinoids, procedures with an intense effect on the skin are contraindicated.

In order for the skin to look supple and fresh after losing weight, you should not resort to such procedures as mechanical cleansing, medium and deep peels – the regenerative resources of the skin at this time are reduced, and therefore there is a high risk of provoking inflammation and infection, and the healing processes will proceed slowly and with complications.

We continue to nourish and moisturize the skin, superficial chemical peels for refreshment, electrophoresis for the introduction of cosmetic preparations, microcurrent therapy and radio wave lifting are appropriate.
