Scientists have proved that when looking at a person, an animal or even their images, we first of all involuntarily look into their eyes. When looking at a person, we quickly pass our eyes over their lips, nose, hair, but invariably turn back again and fix our gaze on their eyes. The eyes express the full range of human feelings. Everything matters - the lumen of the pupils, the shape of the eyes, the position of the eyelids and eyebrows, the presence of wrinkles - "rays" around the eyes, the absence of red streaks in the "white" of the eyes, the brightness of the color of the "iris". Also, 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 area can be divided into:
- decreased skin elasticity
- wrinkles around the eyes
- puffiness and dark circles under the eyes
- "nasolacrimal sulcus", this is one of the most "unsympathetic" manifestations - a sulcus that leaves the inner corner of the eye obliquely along the cheek, appears as a result of age-related displacement and downward sagging of the skin,
- upper and lower eyelid hernias
Who is to blame and what to do
Almost all eye area problems start with a decrease in the elastic properties of the skin. The skin begins to "slip", the boundary between the orbit and the cheek shifts downwards, the eye begins to look older due to the fact that the soft tissues no longer cover the lower edge of the orbit, it is only covered by a stretched eyelid.
Important! It is necessary to "capture" the process early on to prevent the skin from descending so far when it can only be tightened with surgery. It is imperative to carry out preventive courses that strengthen the muscles of the face and increase the elasticity of the skin around the eyes. As a rule, experienced cosmetologists do not develop a "straightforward" course, but use combinations of techniques, and the choice of technique is usually 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 aging prevention program will be developed for you, taking into account the hereditary characteristics of the face. Someone is threatened by hernias, someone has dark brown circles around the eyes, someone is the so-called "premolar pockets". An experienced cosmetologist will immediately see your "weak spots" and advise what to look for. The common misconception "the later you see a beautician, the better" is fundamentally wrong and because of this a large number of people miss out on the opportunity to prevent aging of the face and eyes.
problem and solution
Some of these deficiencies (eg, herniated upper and lower eyelids) can only be treated by surgeons. But most remaining problems can be resolved by a beautician.
Wrinkles around the eyes are removed with Botox or Dysport injections. In people prone to edema, its use should be preceded by a course in hardware cosmetology (microcurrents), as well as mesotherapy aimed at improving blood and lymphatic circulation.
Comprehensive programs using hardware cosmetology, chemical peels, mesotherapy and biorevitalization help to increase skin elasticity, remove unwanted pigmentation, puffiness and fine surface wrinkles. Mesotherapy differs from biorevitalization in the preparations used: in biorevitalization it is hyaluronic acid with a larger molecule, which allows it to remain on the skin for longer and has a more pronounced rejuvenating effect. An excellent eye skin rejuvenation effect is provided by an alternating biorevitalization program and peeling procedures. It is better to use preparations specifically designed for the area around the eyes, which increases the effectiveness of the procedures and makes them as physiological as possible.
A complete course consists of alternating four peeling procedures and four biorevitalization procedures (hyaluronic acid preparation) with an interval of one week between them.
The composition of the peeling includes a combination of acids that have a pronounced depigmenting and rejuvenating effect. They are used in small concentrations, which reduces the risk of irritation, but by adding the effect of the two acids, the desired effect is achieved. In the production of peeling, the technology of an active substance "gradually released" is used. After the procedure, the 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 one-week intervals after the peeling. The ideal choice for this is the use of a hyaluronic acid preparation, developed to treat delicate areas with minimal risk of swelling. The drug is administered in large "drops", which significantly reduces trauma to the skin.
Oxygen and ozone therapy will help smokers and people who are virtually never outdoors. Refreshes the face and improves skin elasticity, eyes are bright and clear.
Patients with "bags" under the eyes receive microcurrent therapy, which allows them to strengthen the skin and remove congestion. The result is noticeable after 2-3 procedures, but for a lasting result, it is advisable to visit 10-15 procedures 2-3 times a week.
Hyaluronic acid-based gels will help to fill the deep nasolacrimal groove, visually "hide" the hernia. This procedure is one of the most effective, as it is performed quickly, almost painlessly, and filling the nasolacrimal groove literally "rejuvenates" the face for several years before our eyes.
Where to start?
A proper eye area rejuvenation program should start with the restoration of skin quality (mesotherapy and peelings) and end with the introduction of Botox and hyaluronic gels. In the absence of edema of the eye area, a "first" is possible with the introduction of Botox. When preparing for plastic surgery, it is also desirable to carry out therapeutic preparation using cosmetic techniques. This will significantly improve the course of the postoperative period and significantly reduce the likelihood of complications. It is also important to choose the right products for home use and your regular use.
In conclusion, we note that we must not forget about the most effective methods to rejuvenate the area around the eyes: good sleep, fresh air and the absence of bad habits.
