Scientists have proven that when we look at a person, an animal, or even their images, we inevitably look at their eyes first of all. When looking at a person, we quickly move our eyes over his lips, nose, hair, but regularly come back and fix our gaze on his eyes. Eyes express the whole spectrum of human feelings. Everything is important - the lumen of the pupils, the shape of the eyes, the condition of the eyelids and eyebrows, the presence of wrinkles - the "ray" around the eyes, the absence of red streaks in the "whites" 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 the expert's point of view, the problems in this area can be divided into the following:
- decrease in skin elasticity
- wrinkles around the eyes
- puffiness and dark circles under the eyes
- "nasolacrimal groove", this is one of the most "unsympathetic" manifestations - a curved groove from the inner corner of the eye along the cheek, visible as a result of age-related displacement and sagging of the skin,
- tears of the upper and lower eyelids
Who is to blame and what to do
Almost all problems of the eye area begin with a decrease in the elastic properties of the skin. The skin begins to "slide", the border between the orbit and the cheek moves downward, the eye begins to look older due to the fact that the soft tissues do not cover the lower edge of the orbit, it is covered only by the elongated eyelid. .
It is important! It is necessary to "catch" the process at an early stage to prevent the skin from sagging so much that it can only be tightened surgically. Preventive courses that strengthen the muscles of the face and increase the elasticity of the skin around the eyes are mandatory. As a rule, experienced cosmetologists do not develop a "straight" course, but use combinations 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, definitely consult a cosmetologist, taking into account the hereditary characteristics of the face, an individual anti-aging program will be prepared for you. Someone is threatened with hernias, someone has dark brown circles around the eyes, someone has so-called "premolar bags". An experienced cosmetologist will immediately see your "weak points" and advise what to pay attention to. The misconception that "the later you go to the beautician, the better" is fundamentally wrong, and because of this, many people miss the opportunity to prevent aging of the face and eyes.
Problem and solution
Some of these defects (for example, tears of the upper and lower eyelids) can only be solved by surgeons. But most of the remaining problems can be solved by a beautician.
Wrinkles around the eyes are removed with Botox or Dysport injections. Before their use, people prone to bleeding should undergo a course of hardware cosmetology (microcurrents), as well as a course of mesotherapy aimed at improving blood and lymph circulation.
Complex programs using hardware cosmetology, chemical peeling, mesotherapy and biorevitalization help to increase the elasticity of the skin, eliminate unwanted pigmentation, swelling and fine surface wrinkles. Mesotherapy differs from biorevitalization in terms of the preparations used: in biorevitalization, hyaluronic acid has a larger molecule, which allows it to remain on the skin for a longer time and have a more pronounced rejuvenating effect. An excellent effect for rejuvenating the skin of the eyes is provided by a program of alternative biorevitalization and peeling procedures. It is better to use preparations specially designed for the area around the eyes, which increase the effectiveness of the procedures and make them as physiological as possible.
The full course alternately consists of four peeling procedures and four biorevitalization procedures (preparation of hyaluronic acid) with a one-week break.
The peeling composition contains 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 the desired effect is achieved by summarizing the effect of two acids. The technology of "gradually released" active substance is used in the production of peeling. Peeling after the procedure is usually small, insignificant. It starts approximately on the 2nd day and ends 4-5 days after the first procedure, it is faster after repeated procedures.
Biorevitalization is prescribed at intervals of one week after peeling. The ideal option for this is the use of a hyaluronic acid preparation designed for the treatment of delicate areas with a minimal risk of swelling. The drug is applied in the form of large "drops", which significantly reduce skin trauma.
Oxygen-ozone therapy will help smokers and people who are practically never outdoors. It refreshes the face and increases the elasticity of the skin, the eyes become bright and clear.
Patients with "bags" under the eyes are shown microcurrent therapy, which allows them to strengthen the skin and remove congestion. The result is noticeable after 2-3 procedures, but for a permanent result, it is recommended to visit 10-15 procedures 2-3 times a week.
Hyaluronic acid-based gels will help fill the deep nasolacrimal groove, visually "hide" the tear. This procedure is one of the most effective, because it is performed quickly, almost painlessly, and the filling of the nasolacrimal groove "rejuvenates" the face for several years before our eyes.
Where to start?
The correct rejuvenation program of the eye area should begin with the restoration of the quality of the skin (mesotherapy and peeling) and end with the application of Botox and hyaluronic gels. If there is no edema of the eye area, it is possible to "debut" with the application of Botox. When preparing for plastic surgery, it is also advisable to conduct therapeutic preparations using cosmetic methods. 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 their regular use.
In conclusion, we note that we must not forget the most effective methods of rejuvenating the area around the eyes: good sleep, fresh air and the absence of bad habits.
