After losing weight, wrinkles appeared on the face: 8 simple tips on how to get rid of them

Causes of skin problems after losing weight

A person gains excess body weight gradually and unnoticed by himself. The main mistake of women who want to lose weight is the desire to lose weight at any cost as quickly as possible. As a result, along with a slender figure, we get sagging facial skin with many wrinkles, an exhausted and tired look. The skin simply does not have time to adapt to rapid changes and take on a new shape.

Well-known author of the “Psychobiocorrection of weight” method, nutritionist Trifonova M.V. found that according to the laws of physiology, a person can lose no more than 150 grams of weight per day without harm to health. When calculating, it turns out that the maximum figure for reducing body weight per month should be 4.2 kg. Exhausting diets and physical activity make it possible to lose 10-12 kg, which primarily negatively affects the condition of the skin.

Sudden weight loss becomes a great stress for the body and contributes to increased production of the hormone cortisol. As a result of the action of the hormone, the production of collagen and elastin decreases, the nutrition of the integument deteriorates, and the turgor and elasticity of the skin decreases. You can avoid such problems if you lose weight slowly and gradually. If, however, unfavorable changes occur, you can restore your skin after losing weight using several methods.

Causes of wrinkles after losing weight

• strict diet;
• insufficient water regime;
• lack of essential nutrients in the diet;
• excessive physical activity that causes profuse sweating;
• rapid weight loss.

In order for your skin to remain beautiful after losing weight, you need to lose weight gradually, adhering to a healthy diet and moderate exercise.

Restoration with natural masks

You can eliminate the side effect of losing weight without resorting to the services of a cosmetologist using natural herbal masks. This section is devoted to the topic of how to restore the beauty and youth of your skin at home. A mask made from a mixture of egg white, cucumber pulp and olive oil will help get rid of dryness and withering of the skin. Protein provides a lifting effect, cucumber juice perfectly moisturizes the skin, and olive oil saturates it with beneficial nutritional components.

A mask made from chopped dill and oatmeal has an excellent effect. This composition restores facial contours, eliminates puffiness and age spots. It is also recommended to use white clay, wheat germ and grape juice to tighten the skin. If you are not allergic, you can make a honey mask, combining the procedure with a warm wrap to increase its effectiveness.

Natural masks made from plant materials are applied for 20-30 minutes. It is advisable to carry out the procedure at least 2 times a week for several months. Home remedies do not contain preservatives, dyes or other chemical additives, so they are well absorbed by the skin, suitable for all skin types and do not cause adverse reactions.

How to care for your skin while losing weight?

The basic principle of skin care is the same for everyone: CLEANSE, MOISTURIZE, NOURISH.

And for those who, while losing weight, also strive for beautiful and healthy skin, we have prepared the following recommendations:

1. Lose weight gradually

The fact is that with sudden weight loss, our skin cannot quickly adapt to the new weight, and a balloon effect occurs when air is released. The skin becomes loose or sagging. Therefore, it is important to lose weight slowly, giving your skin time to recover.

2. Eat right

There is no need to go on exhausting diets, because this deprives our body of nutrients. The skin does not receive vitamins and microelements, due to which it loses its elasticity. There needs to be a balance. The diet should not deprive us of nutrients, it should be properly formulated and supply the body with all the necessary nutrients.

3. Drinking regime

In order for the skin to maintain a healthy and elastic appearance longer, it is necessary to ensure sufficient fluid intake into the body. At the same time, the reaction of the epidermis to care procedures improves. Water is essential for smooth and healthy skin.

4. Sports

Even if you decide to lose weight through nutrition alone, you should not give up strength and aerobic exercise. After all, it is movement and increased heart rate that help increase collagen production. Remember that when losing weight, you need to maintain a calorie deficit. By playing sports, it will be much easier for you to do this.

5. Contrast shower and massage

Try to include a contrast shower in your daily skin care, and visit the bathhouse at least once a week. This speeds up metabolism, removes waste and toxins. The skin is renewed, processes in it are accelerated. After or during sudden weight loss, this is a great way to restore your skin to its healthy appearance. If you have the opportunity to get a massage regularly, be sure to take advantage of it. An experienced massage therapist will tell you how best to stimulate blood circulation.

6. Natural cosmetics

Be sure to use cosmetics with natural ingredients. Choose the option that suits you. Before the procedures, use a scrub or peeling. The main thing is that the products do not cause an allergic reaction and preferably have a lifting effect. Such mixtures are best used in combination with physical activity and water treatments.

7. Additives

Choose supplements that include vitamins A, E, C and K and coenzymes. Take vitamin complexes with added collagen, or collagen as a separate supplement. They stimulate the natural restoration of cells in the deep layers of the epidermis.

8. Homemade recipes

Everything you need for firm skin is right at your fingertips. These are ordinary products that can be bought at any store. And in the summer it’s even easier, because the shelves are full of greens and herbs, and no one has canceled the use of folk remedies. There are countless recipes for masks, wraps and homemade creams made from herbs, fruits and vegetables.

Such recipes are based on honey, minerals, and clay. You can use store-bought anti-cellulite creams, an aqueous solution of vinegar, essential oils and pepper.

9. Wraps

The effect of any mask will increase several times when creating a thermal effect. To do this, you can use regular cling film.

Wraps can be hot or cold. They can be done in the abdomen, thighs and buttocks. Be careful! Before trying a new mask or wrap, do a sensitivity test. And if you decide to carry out such procedures at home, then it is better to first consult with a cosmetologist, or visit the salon once and make sure that your actions are correct. You can choose a suitable mask recipe for yourself on the Internet. Try recipes made from natural products, read reviews from other people and consult with qualified specialists.

Face massage

You can tighten your facial contours and improve skin tone with massage. Smoothing and patting movements increase blood flow to the problem area, providing nutrition to connective tissue cells and increased collagen production. Particular attention should be paid to the area under the jaw to eliminate the double chin and create clear facial contours.

A contrast massage using warm and cold water will help enhance the effect. To complete this you will need two cotton towels. Alternately dipping the towels in hot and warm water, you need to make light patting movements. The procedure should include 5-8 changes in massage temperature. It helps restore lost tone and elasticity to the skin, and restore facial contours after weight loss.

Sagging skin

Most often, “extra” skin after losing weight remains on the arms, stomach and chin. This problem can be solved with the help of a cream, which should include peptides and retinol.

Of course, we are talking about small amounts of loose skin. In cases of extreme weight loss, surgery cannot be avoided.

Hardware methods of influence

Reduced turgor, laxity and emaciation of the skin, a sagging chin and altered facial features with wrinkles, folds and bags under the eyes are indications for radical measures using modern hardware therapy. One of the effective ways to eliminate such problems is laser face lifting. The procedure is performed using a laser beam. By directing the beam to the problem area, epidermal cells are stimulated. As a result, metabolic processes are activated, wrinkles are smoothed out, and the surface of the skin is leveled. The skin becomes perfectly even and smooth, elastic and toned without any traces of rapid weight loss.

The photorejuvenation procedure gives a high effect. This is a great way to tighten sagging cheeks after losing weight. Under the influence of pulsed light, the already used collagen is removed and the production of new one is activated. For complete renewal of skin cells, 3 sessions are enough. Beauty salons also offer other methods of hardware facelift after weight loss - cryolifting under the influence of low temperatures, RF lifting using radio frequency waves and ultrasound therapy.

Beauty injections

An alternative option for effective skin restoration is mesotherapy. Depending on the condition and number of skin problems, as well as the client’s age, the cosmetologist selects the ingredients for the beauty meso-cocktail. Injections may include vitamin solutions, hormones, enzymes, plant extracts and hyaluronic acid.

Contour plastic surgery will help improve facial contours and get rid of deep wrinkles. To do this, preparations based on hyaluronic acid are injected under the skin. The volumetric modeling procedure, in which the material is introduced more deeply, is particularly effective. Such injections can achieve results similar to plastic surgery. They provide not only a facelift, but also restoration of its relief, allow you to correct the shape of the chin and cheekbones, and get rid of asymmetry.

The patient's blood plasma can be used for anti-aging injections. Plasma triggers the process of natural skin regeneration, which improves its color and eliminates fine wrinkles. The procedure is recommended even for young girls after losing weight. Botox or Dysport injections provide excellent results. Injections are made precisely into problem areas. Under the influence of the drugs, muscle paralysis occurs, due to which even deep folds and wrinkles disappear without a trace for a period of up to 1 year. With the help of Botox, you can not only tighten your face, but also correct your facial features, lift the corners of your eyes, and improve the shape of your nose and cheekbones.

Facial restoration after weight loss

When losing weight, not only the outline of the body changes, but the face loses weight first. What procedures need to be done to keep your face young and beautiful despite a general decrease in body weight?

When losing weight, the hypodermis, the third layer of skin consisting of adipose tissue, becomes thinner. Thus, the face seems to “sag” or “sag”. This process can be compared to the sudden deflation of a balloon, when we see a flabby shell without tension.

Facial tissues have anatomical rigid fixation points to which they are attached. “Blown away”, becoming inelastic and inelastic, under the influence of external factors they are deformed into folds and make the facial contour saggy and shapeless. The thinning of the already thin subcutaneous fat layer in the area around the eyes makes the venous capillaries visible, and the blueness under the eyes becomes a constant companion for a losing weight person.

How to deal with this?

You need to correct what has changed after losing weight. The changes that occur are always individual and depend on the facial structure (morphotype) of each of us, on our anatomical strengths and weaknesses.

Standard procedures used:

• Mesotherapy is used in a course for the “subsidence” of the upper layers of the skin and the formation of a network of superficial wrinkles.
• Biorevitalization, bioreparation is used for “subsidence” of a skin flap at the dermal-hypodermal level.
• Mesothreads are used for changes in the superficial and dermal-hypodermal layers, as well as for severe ptosis (drooping) of the face. The procedure has a biorevitalizing effect on the skin and a biorestructuring effect on the collagen framework of the skin, tightens all layers of the skin and has a pronounced lifting effect.
• Fractional facial resurfacing (Fraxel) has a lifting effect by reducing or reducing the area of ​​laser-treated skin.
• Aptos thread lifting allows you to “blind” your face, i.e. lift all his sagging soft tissues. Recommended for everyone after weight stabilization for 2 months or more.
• Contour plastic surgery with preparations based on hyaluronic acid is used to fill wrinkles and restore lost facial volumes: cheekbones, furrows under the eyes, etc.
• Supraperiosteal modeling is the creation of additional volume with filler based on hyaluronic acid from the valumizer family. It is necessary for everyone with a significant reduction in body weight, especially in the age group.
• Cosmetic facial massage and skincare procedures complement these recommendations for the period of active weight loss.

A cosmetologist can select the procedures you need and create an individual program during a personal consultation. Make an appointment by phone in Moscow, through the on-line registration form and at the clinic reception.

Prevention measures

To maintain healthy and youthful skin while losing weight, it is important to adhere to certain rules and try to lose weight slowly and evenly without sudden changes. During a diet, you need to take care not only in external care of the integument, but also in balanced nutrition from the inside. To ensure that the results of weight loss do not affect the condition of the skin, it is advisable to adhere to the following recommendations:

• Avoid taking hot baths. It is better to use a contrast shower or bath with warm water close to body temperature. After this, apply moisturizers.
• Use special cosmetics to prevent stretch marks and sagging skin. A home remedy made from lemon juice, lavender and castor oil has proven itself to be excellent.
• Do exercises for your face and body every day to keep your muscles toned.
• Eat fatty fish, vegetables and fruits, maintain the body's water balance.
• Going to the pool, water is considered an effective means for massaging the skin, preventing its sagging and loss of elasticity.
• Do not sunbathe during the active phase of the sun from 12 noon to 5 pm. Sunbathe using special products before and after tanning.
• For care, use natural cosmetics that do not disturb the pH balance of the skin and have a mild effect.
• Take special vitamin and mineral complexes to maintain good skin condition.

By following these rules, you can maintain the elasticity and firmness of your skin while losing weight. As a result, for all your efforts, you will get the kind of reflection in the mirror that you have long dreamed of.​
