In a recent interview with the American edition of Marie Claire, 23-year-old Hailey Bieber said that she takes care of herself rather fanatically, including often resorting to cosmetic procedures. Also, the model is always happy to experiment and try something new.
“I have already tried vacuum cupping facial massage, acupuncture, microcurrents. But my favorite procedure is PRP-therapy, when a specialist takes blood from a vein and then uses it to make a series of injections into the facial areas. This procedure smoothes the skin and makes it look blue. I think I'll be doing it all my life, "- admitted Haley.
We analyzed the favorite programs of the model with cosmetologists - how they work and whether they are suitable for everyone.
Vacuum facial massage
Recently, almost all beauty bloggers have resorted to this method of rejuvenation, and at home. Vacuum massage is performed with special silicone cups (about 5 cm in diameter for the face and 1 cm for the eye area) along the lymphatic drainage lines. First, you need to cleanse your face well and apply natural oil.

- The main effect of vacuum massage is skin toning (by improving microcirculation) and lymphatic drainage effect (it is no coincidence that a vacuum nozzle works precisely along the lymphatic drainage lines). The procedure can be done for girls from the age of 18, especially if there is swelling and a dull complexion. However, there are contraindications for such a massage: it cannot be performed with very thin and sensitive skin, as well as in the case of rosacea and inflammation, a large number of moles and papillomas, in the presence of herpes.
Acupuncture face lifting (acupuncture)

- During acupuncture, the skin is toned, the complexion improves, the skin elasticity increases. The effect is observed after the first session, it is not for nothing that the procedure is often called dry mesotherapy. According to the indications, the program can be done from the age of 18 and from any age strictly under the supervision of an experienced cosmetologist. Otherwise, you can severely harm the skin, get a microtrauma of the skin. Also, acupuncture, like vacuum massage, should be avoided by owners of sensitive and thin skin, as well as skin with rosacea, inflammation, a large number of moles and papillomas.

- The procedure can be done from the age of 18. At the same time, on very young skin, microcurrent therapy will provide the effect of moisturizing the skin, on more mature skin, in addition to moisturizing, a lifting effect will be observed. But it is worth noting that microcurrents work much more effectively in tandem with facial treatments, when special formulations enriched with peptides, nutrients and vitamins are additionally used. Contraindications: thin skin, rosacea, inflammation, a large number of moles and papillomas.
PRP-therapy (plasma therapy)
A rejuvenating procedure based on injections of platelet-rich plasma, which is taken from the patient's own blood. The effect of the program will be noticeable a week after the first session, but more often cosmetologists recommend doing a session from 2 to 4-5 sessions per month.
