Eyelid lifting: causes of formation and methods for eliminating ptosis of the upper eyelid

Cosmetologists and patients pay a lot of attention to the state of eyelid skin. And for good reason, since it is this part of the face that primarily speaks of a person's age. Beauticians, on the other hand, pay a lot of attention to this area because it is quite difficult to work with the tissues of the upper eyelid.

There are many more factors that worsen the condition of the skin of the eyelids than effective procedures and treatments for this area. However, cosmetology is developing, and there are ways to deal with various skin changes. One of such methods is hardware eyelid lifting.

The shape of the eyes changes, the look becomes gloomy and heavy. Ptosis of the upper eyelid narrows the lateral fields of vision, and, trying to see what the eye has seen before, he feels constant fatigue. In the formation of the contour of the upper eyelid, 2 main muscles take part:
the lateral part of the fronto-occipital muscle (the muscle that raises the eyebrow)

and

the orbicular muscle of the eye.

When reduction of the tone of these muscles, as well as edema in them, ptosis of the upper eyelid. develops

Swelling is more often the result of a malfunction of the kidneys. A change in muscle tone may be the result of excessive tension of the antagonist muscles against the background of impaired innervation, as well as after subcutaneous injection of substances that disrupt neuromuscular transmission.

There is a relationship between weakened eye muscles and swelling. Increasing swelling gradually leads to the shutdown of the muscle from its active work. And against the background of the lack of muscle activity , lymph drainage worsens, which contributes to the appearance of even more swelling of the upper eyelid.

Against the background of long-term edema, skin stretching occurs and

hernia of retrobulbar fiber

is often formed, in which part of the fiber penetrates under the skin of the upper eyelid in places of atrophy of the fibers of the circular muscle of the eye.

Thus, ptosis of the upper eyelid is characterized by such changes in the tissues of the eye: skin stretching; hernia of retrobulbar tissue;

edema; decrease in muscle tone.

• Swelling and decreased tone are the causes of ptosis of the upper eyelid, and stretching of the skin and hernia – as a complication
• and a consequence.

muscle tone.

If the ptosis of the upper eyelid has developed due to weak work of the eye muscles, then neither fillers, nor

peelings

, or Botox are indicated. Mesotherapy

with iontophoresis bring an indirect effect. The only method that

acts directly on muscle tone – electropulse therapy (EIT).

EIT is often combined with mesotherapy, massage, masks and other cosmetic methods. With eyelid lifting muscle tone can be restored in several procedures, puffiness is eliminated faster, in a couple of procedures. Hernia of the retrobulbar tissue

does not change against the background of electrical impulse stimulation, however, the muscles are trained, strengthened, and

the diaphragm of the eye is trained. With the help of eyelid lifting using the EIT method, it is possible to slightlyth restore stretched skin

.

Peculiarities of eyelid lifting. Contraindications to the procedure The area of ​​the eyelids is quite sensitive to electrical stimulation due to the proximity of the periosteum, so electrical impulse therapy causes pain. To reduce them, it is necessary to use devices with neuro-like impulses, which are very similar to physiological ones. One of the methods of application of electropulse therapy is hardware lifting.

This eyelid lift is performed using

movable electrodes over a contact gel. A feature of the procedure are visible muscle contractions. Conventional stationary electrodes are not suitable for such eyelid lifting due to their large area. Unlike stationary ones, labile electrodes make contact with the skin point. This feature allows you to lift the eyelids, targeting the motor point of the muscle.
