Scientists have proven that when looking at a person, animal, or even their image, we, first of all, involuntarily look into their eyes. When we see someone, we quickly look at their lips, nose, hair, but often come back and focus our gaze on their eyes. Eyes express all human feelings. Everything is important - the lumen of the pupil, the shape of the eye, the position of the eyelids and eyebrows, the presence of wrinkles - "rays" around the eyes, the absence of red stripes on the "white" of the eyes, the brightness of the color of the "iris". In addition, the area around the eyes is a kind of marker of a person's age.
From an expert's point of view, problems in this field can be divided into:
- skin elasticity decreases
- wrinkles around the eyes
- puffiness and dark circles under the eyes
- "nasolacrimal furrow", this is one of the most "unsympathetic" manifestations - a furrow that runs from the inner corner of the eye diagonally along the cheek, appears due to age-related displacement and sagging skin downwards,
- upper and lower eyelid hernia
Who is to blame and what needs to be done
Almost all problems in the eye area begin with a decrease in the elasticity of the skin. The skin begins to "slide", the border between the orbit and the cheek shifts downward, the eyes begin to look older due to the fact that the soft tissue no longer covers the lower edge of the orbit, it is only covered by the stretched eyelids. .
Important! It is necessary to "catch" the process at an early stage to prevent the skin from moving down when it can only be tightened surgically. It is important to carry out a preventive course that strengthens the facial muscles and improves the elasticity of the skin around the eyes. As a rule, experienced cosmetologists do not develop a "straight" course, but use a combination of techniques, and the choice of technique is often based on the current condition of the patient's skin. If you are over 25 years old, be sure to visit a beautician, an individual anti-aging program will be developed for you, taking into account the hereditary characteristics of the face. Someone is threatened by a hernia, someone has dark brown circles around the eyes, someone is the so-called "premolar bag". An experienced cosmetologist will immediately notice your "weak points" and advise what to look for. The common misconception "the sooner you go to a beautician, the better" is fundamentally wrong and because of that a large number of people miss the opportunity to prevent aging of the face and eyes.
Problems and solutions
Some of these deficiencies (for example, hernias of the upper and lower eyelids) can only be addressed by a surgeon. But most of the remaining problems can be solved by a beautician.
Wrinkles around the eyes are removed with Botox or Dysport injections. In people prone to edema, its use must be preceded by a course of hardware cosmetology (microcurrents), as well as mesotherapy aimed at improving blood and lymph circulation.
A comprehensive program using hardware cosmetology, chemical peeling, mesotherapy and biorevitalization helps improve skin elasticity, remove unwanted pigmentation, puffiness and fine wrinkles. Mesotherapy differs from biorevitalization in the preparations used: in biorevitalization it is hyaluronic acid with larger molecules, which allows it to remain in the skin longer and have a more significant rejuvenating effect. An excellent effect of rejuvenating the skin of the eyes is provided by the biorevitalization program and alternating peeling procedures. It is better to use preparations designed specifically for the area around the eyes, which increases the effectiveness of the procedure and makes it as physiological as possible.
A full course consists of four alternating peeling procedures and four biorevitalization procedures (preparation of hyaluronic acid) with a time interval between them of one week.
The exfoliating composition includes a combination of acids that have a clear depigmentation and rejuvenating effect. They are used in small concentrations, which reduces the risk of irritation, but by summarizing the effects of both acids, the desired effect is achieved. In the production of exfoliation, the technology of active ingredients "gradually released" is used. After the procedure, peeling is usually small, insignificant. It starts approximately on the 2nd day and ends 4-5 days after the first procedure, after repeated procedures it is faster.
Biorevitalization is prescribed at intervals of a week after peeling. The ideal option for this is the use of hyaluronic acid preparations, which are designed to treat delicate areas with a minimal risk of swelling. The drug is given in large "drops", which significantly reduces skin trauma.
Oxygen-ozone therapy will help smokers and people who are hardly ever outside the house. It refreshes the face and improves the elasticity of the skin, the eyes become shiny and clear.
Patients with "bags" under the eyes are shown microcurrent therapy, which allows you to strengthen the skin and relieve congestion. The results can be seen after 2-3 procedures, but for lasting results, it is advised to visit 10-15 procedures 2-3 times a week.
Hyaluronic acid-based gel will help fill the deep nasolacrimal groove, visually "hiding" the hernia. This procedure is one of the most effective, because it is carried out quickly, almost painlessly, and filling the nasolacrimal groove literally "rejuvenates" the face for several years before our eyes.
Where to start?
A proper rejuvenation program of the eye area should begin with the restoration of skin quality (mesotherapy and peeling), and end with the introduction of Botox and hyaluronic gel. If there is no edema in the eye area, "debut" is possible with the introduction of Botox. When preparing for plastic surgery, it is also desirable to carry out therapeutic preparations using cosmetic techniques. This will significantly improve the course of the postoperative period and reduce the possibility of complications. It is also important to choose products that are suitable for home use and their regular use.
In conclusion, we note that we must not forget the most effective methods for rejuvenating the area around the eyes: good sleep, fresh air, and the absence of bad habits.
