Scientists have proven that when we look at a person, an animal, and even their pictures, we, first of all, involuntarily look into their eyes. Looking at a person, we quickly pass our eyes over his lips, nose, hair, but again and again we return 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 position of the eyelids and eyebrows, the presence of wrinkles - "rays" around the eyes, the absence of red stripes 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 a specialist's point of view, problems in this area 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 goes from the inner corner of the eye diagonally along the cheek, appears as a result of the displacement and lowering of the skin due to age,
- hernias of the upper and lower lids
Who is to blame and what should be done
Almost all problems of the area around the eyes 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 downward, 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 the stretched eyelid.
Important! It is necessary to "catch" the process at the very beginning in order to prevent the skin from moving down so much that it can be tightened only by surgery. It is mandatory to conduct preventive courses that strengthen the facial muscles and increase the elasticity of the skin around the eyes. Experienced cosmetologists, as a rule, do not develop ""flat" course, they already 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, be sure to visit a cosmetologist, an individual anti-aging program will be created for you, taking into account the hereditary characteristics of the face. hernias, some have dark brown circles around the eyes, some have so-called "premolar bags". An experienced cosmetologist will immediately spot your "weak points" and advise what to look for. The common misconception that "the later you see a 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 defects (for example, hernia 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. For people prone to edema, their use must be preceded by a course in hardware cosmetology (microcurrent), as well as mesotherapy in order to improve 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 in the skin and has a more pronounced rejuvenating effect. 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 specially designed for the area around the eyes, which increases the effectiveness of the procedures and makes them as physiological as possible.
The full course consists of alternating four peeling procedures and four biorevitalization procedures (hyaluronic acid preparation) with an interval of one week.
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 action of two acids, the desired effect is achieved. In the production of peeling, the technology of "gradually released" active substance 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 one week after peeling. The ideal choice for this is the use of hyaluronic acid preparations, which are designed to treat delicate areas with minimal risk of swelling. The drug is applied in large "drops", which significantly reduces trauma to the skin.
Oxygen and ozone therapy will help smokers and people who are practically never outdoors. It refreshes the face and improves the elasticity of the skin, the eyes become bright 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 noticeable after 2-3 procedures, but for a permanent result, it is desirable to visit 10-15 procedures 2-3 times a week.
Gels based on hyaluronic acid will help fill the deep nasolacrimal groove, visually "hide" the hernia. This procedure is one of the most effective, because 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 rejuvenating the area around the eyes should begin with restoring the quality of the skin (mesotherapy and peeling), and end with the introduction of Botox and hyaluronic gels. In the absence of edema around the eyes, a "debut" 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 to use them regularly.
In conclusion, we note that we should not forget about the most effective methods of rejuvenating the area around the eyes: good sleep, fresh air and the absence of bad habits.
