Laughter, tears and other provoking factors for wrinkles around the eyes

Смех, слезы и другие провоцирующие факторы морщин вокруг глаз

Wrinkles around the eyes are considered the first sign of aging that women can see in the mirror. This usually happens shortly after the age of 25, but for some, wrinkles in this area appear much earlier. On the one hand, the area around the eyes is most energetically involved in the expression of emotions. We cry and laugh, squint and frown, and the muscles around the eyes react to this with active tension. On the other hand, we worsen the condition of the skin in this area by smoking, lack of sleep, looking at a computer or smartphone monitor. According to estet-portal.com, timely prescribed cosmetic procedures will help slow down the development of age-related changes in the area around the eyes.

Factors accelerating the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes

Wrinkles around the eyes are usually thin and multiple, resembling a cobweb and at the same time greatly adding to a woman's age. The reason for their early manifestation, in comparison with wrinkles in other areas of the face, is considered to be the anatomical features of the periorbital region. The skin here is very thin, there are practically no sebaceous and sweat glands, there is very little subcutaneous fat, and besides, it is loose and capable of retaining water. The collagen fibers in this area are arranged in a sparse mesh, so the skin is easily stretchable.

Another important factor causing the early appearance of wrinkles around the eyes – constant mimic activity. The eyes constantly blink, often squint, participate in the expression of various emotions – especially significant are laughter and tears, which have a strong effect on the skin near the eyes.

An important factor provoking wrinkles in the periorbital region – dry skin. Therefore, the correction of this zone should begin with moisturizing procedures.

The accelerating factors in the formation of a network of wrinkles around the eyes can be called:
•   the harmful effects of solar ultraviolet radiation and the neglect of sunglasses;
•   malnutrition with a lack of vitamins and microelements;
•   non-compliance with the drinking regimen;
•   stress and chronic fatigue;
•   lack of sleep;
•   smoking;
•   low-quality eye makeup;
•   wrong cosmetic care of the skin around the eyes.

Those who often squint due to vision problems or have to strain their eyes a lot when working at a computer for a long time, wrinkles around the eyes form and deepen faster. The formation of wrinkles can be influenced by the anatomical features of the structure of the facial part of the skull, when overhanging eyebrows or deep-set eyes contribute to the appearance of folds in the periorbital zone. An inevitable factor in the appearance of wrinkles is age-related changes that occur in the body and affect the condition of the skin.

Types of wrinkles around the eyes and the possibilities of their cosmetic correction

Mimic wrinkles usually appear first in the periorbital zone at the corners of the eyes – so-called "crow's feet". They can be due to both the emotionality of a person and his habit of squinting. In young people, these wrinkles are barely noticeable, because the skin retains good elasticity and quickly straightens out when the facial muscles relax. But it is these wrinkles that most quickly become static, if timely cosmetic correction is not carried out.

With age, wrinkles appear on the upper and lower eyelids, the lacrimal groove becomes clearly visible, which runs from the inner corners of the eyes towards the zygomatic zone. These changes especially age the face.

At the first manifestations of wrinkles around the eyes, a good corrective result can be obtained by properly moisturizing the skin. To do this, you can use creams, serums, masks with moisturizing ingredients. To slow down the formation of wrinkles around the eyes and make them invisible, the following are used:
•   hardware cosmetology – improves metabolic processes, has a lifting effect;
•   peeling – controlled skin damage to trigger collagen and elastin production;
•   injection techniques – replenish volume, stimulate microcirculation, block active facial expressions, start regenerative processes;
•   blepharoplasty and other surgical techniques – a radical solution to the problem of deep static wrinkles.
Depending on the patient's skin type, state of health, depth and severity of wrinkles around the eyes, a comprehensive program for the correction of the periorbital zone is drawn up.
