Scientists have proven that when looking at a person, an animal or even their images, we first involuntarily look at their eyes. When we look at a person, we quickly pass our eyes over their lips, nose, hair, but invariably come back and fix our gaze on their eyes. The eyes express the full range of human feelings. Everything counts - the light 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 on the "white" of the eyes, the brightness ofthe color of the "iris". Also, the area around the eyes is a sort of marker of a person's age.
From the point of view of a specialist, the problems in this area can be divided into:
- decrease in skin elasticity
- wrinkles around the eyes
- puffiness and dark circles under the eyes
- "nasolacrimal furrow" this is one of the most "unsympathetic" manifestations - a furrow running from the inner corner of the eye obliquely along the cheek, appears as a result of age-related displacement andsagging skin,
- upper and lower eyelid hernias
Who is to blame and what to do
Almost all eye contour problems start with a decrease in the elastic properties of the skin. The skin begins to "slip", the border between the socket and the cheek moves downwards, the eye begins to look older due to the fact that the soft tissues no longer cover the lower edge of the socket, it does notis covered only with a stretched eyelid.
Important! It is necessary to "capture" the process at the very beginning in order to prevent the skin from descending so much 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 "direct" 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, be sure to consult a beautician, an individual aging prevention program will be developed for you, taking into account the hereditary features of the face. 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 you on what to look for. The misconception that "the later you go to a beautician, the better" is fundamentally wrong and because of this, many people miss the opportunity to prevent face and eye aging.
Problem and Solution
Some of these deficiencies (for example, a herniation of the upper and lower eyelids) can only be treated by surgeons. But most of the remaining problems could well be solved by a beautician.
Wrinkles around the eyes are eliminated with injections of Botox or Dysport. In people prone to edema, their use should be preceded by a course of hardware cosmetology (micro-currents), as well as mesotherapy aimed at improving blood and lymphatic circulation.
Comprehensive programs using hardware cosmetology, chemical peels, mesotherapy and bio-revitalization help increase skin elasticity, eliminate unwanted pigmentation, swelling and fine superficial wrinkles. Mesotherapy differs from bio-revitalization in the preparations used: in bio-revitalization it is hyaluronic acid with a larger molecule, which allows it to stay in the skin longer and have an effectmore pronounced rejuvenating. An excellent effect for rejuvenating the skin of the eyes is provided by a program of alternating biorevitalization and peeling procedures. It is better to use preparations designed specifically for the area around the eyes, which increases the effectiveness of procedures and makes them as physiological as possible.
A complete cure 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 peel 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 both acids, the desired effect is obtained. In the production of peeling, the technology of a "gradually released" active substance is used. After the procedure, the peeling is usually small, insignificant. It begins approximately on the 2nd day and ends 4-5 days after the first procedure, after repeated procedures it is faster.
Biorevitalization is prescribed at weekly intervals after peeling. The ideal choice for this is the use of a hyaluronic acid preparation, designed to treat delicate areas with minimal risk of swelling. The drug is administered in large "drops", which significantly reduces skin trauma.
Oxygen and ozone therapy will help smokers and people who are hardly ever outdoors. It refreshes the face and improves skin elasticity, eyes become bright and clear.
Patients with "puffiness" under the eyes are given microcurrent therapy, which allows you to tighten 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.
Gels based on hyaluronic acid will help fill the deep nasolacrimal furrow, visually "hide" the hernia. This procedure is one of the most effective, because it is performed quickly, almost painlessly, and the filling of the nasolacrimal fold literally "rejuvenates" the face for several years before our eyes.
Where to start?
A good eye contour rejuvenation program should begin with restoring the quality of the skin (mesotherapy and peelings) and end with the introduction of Botox and hyaluronic gels. In the absence of edema around the eyes, a "beginning" 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 risk of complications. It is also important to choose the right products for home use and regular use.
In conclusion, note that we must not forget the most effective methods for rejuvenating the eye area: good sleep, fresh air and the absence of bad habits.
