Scientists have proven that when we look at a person, an animal, or even their images, we, first of all, involuntarily look into their eyes. When we look at a person, we quickly pass our eyes over his lips, nose, hair, but invariably we turn back and fix our gaze on his eyes. Eyes express the whole 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 lines on 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 point of view of a specialist, the problems in this field can be divided into:
- reduced skin elasticity
- wrinkles around the eyes
- puffiness and dark circles under the eyes
- "nasolacrimal groove", this is one of the most "unsympathetic" manifestations - a groove that flows from the inner corner of the eye obliquely along the cheek, appears as a result of age-related displacement and sagging of the skin down,
- hernias of the upper and lower eyelids
Who is to blame and what should be done
Almost all problems of the eye area begin with a decrease in the elastic properties of the skin. The skin begins to "slip", the border between the orbit and the cheek moves down, 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 covered only by a stretched eyelid. .
Important! It is necessary to "catch" the process from the beginning in order to prevent the skin from moving so far down when it can only be tightened with surgery. It is necessary 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 "right" course, but use combinations of techniques, and the choice of technique is often based on the actual condition of the patient's skin. If you are over 25 years old, be sure to visit an esthetician, an individual anti-aging 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 bags". An experienced cosmetologist will immediately see your "weak points" and advise what to look for. The common misconception "the later you turn to the beautician, the better" is fundamentally wrong, and because of it a large number of people miss the opportunity to prevent aging of the face and eyes.
Problem and solution
Some of these deficiencies (for example, hernia of the upper and lower eyelids) can only be treated by surgeons. But most of the remaining problems can be solved by an esthetician.
Wrinkles around the eyes are removed with Botox or Dysport injections. In people prone to edema, their use should be preceded by a course of hardware cosmetology (microcurrent), as well as mesotherapy aimed at improving blood and lymph circulation.
Comprehensive programs using hardware cosmetology, chemical peeling, mesotherapy and biorevitalization help increase skin elasticity, remove unwanted pigmentation, swelling 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 stay longer on the skin and have a more pronounced rejuvenating effect. An excellent effect for eye skin rejuvenation 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 increases the effectiveness of the procedures and makes them as physiological as possible.
A full 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 combining the effect of two acids, the desired effect is achieved. In the production of the 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 second day and ends 4-5 days after the first procedure, after repeated procedures it is faster.
Biorevitalization is prescribed at intervals of one week after peeling. The ideal choice for this is the use of a hyaluronic acid preparation, which is designed to treat delicate areas with a minimal risk of swelling. The drug is administered in large "drops", which significantly reduces skin trauma.
Oxygen-ozone therapy will help smokers and people who are practically never outside. 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 remove congestion. The result is visible after 2-3 procedures, but for a stable 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 groove, visually "hiding" 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 program for rejuvenation of the eye area should start with the restoration of skin quality (mesotherapy and peeling) and end with the introduction of botox and hyaluronic gel. In the absence of edema of the eye area, a "debut" is possible with the introduction of Botox. When preparing for plastic surgery, it is also desirable to carry out a 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 their regular use.
In conclusion, we note that we should not forget the most effective methods of rejuvenating the area around the eyes: good sleep, fresh air and the absence of bad habits.
