Recipes for skin rejuvenation around the eyes: cosmetic procedures

The most sensitive and capable of quickly losing fullness (shape) and moisture is the skin around the eyes. "Eyes – mirror of the soul" – who does not know this saying. And also, the eyes are able to reveal the whole secret of lifestyle, nutrition, sleep and health. The eyelids swell due to the accumulation of fluid in the body.

Blue under the eyes occurs as a result of many diseases. "Crow's feet" appear due to lack of skin care in the periorbital region. In addition, with improper skin care, nasolacrimal grooves threaten. On estet-portal.com, we will consider which procedures will provide rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes.

Signs of aging in the periorbital region

Depending on the types of aging, not all signs of age-related changes may appear on the face at once. From the age of 25, the process of accumulation of skin problems on the face begins, especially in the area around the eyes. Basically, after 30 years, the following problems appear in the periorbital region:

• dry skin appears after reduction of subcutaneous fat;
• bruises under the eyes appear as a result of congestion in the blood vessels located on the surface of the skin;
• crow's feet and fine lines are caused by lack of moisture and fat;
• Swelling and drooping of the upper eyelid can appear as early as 30 years old as a result of a number of disorders in the body.

For women aged 35 years and older, the skin around the eyes is characterized by:

• thinning of the skin around the eyes and flabbiness – after constant drying;
• rosacea or spider veins may appear due to problems with blood vessels and passion for thermal procedures;
• nasolacrimal grooves – it is the result of a genetic predisposition;
• Pigment spots appear as a result of improper UV protection.

Important: the periorbital area requires careful and gentle care with the selection of special cosmetic products, taking into account anatomical features.

Rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes: problem solving

The methods of skin rejuvenation around the eyes are applied according to the problems that need to be solved. Consider the 6 main signs of aging:

1. bags and swelling under the eyes;
2. wrinkles near the eyes;
3. pigmentation;
4. dark circles;
5. nasolacrimal sulcus;
6. eyelid hernia.

One problem does not preclude the appearance of another, they are interrelated and the elimination of one problem can significantly improve the appearance of the skin in another area. Rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes begins with its internal nutrition to restore elasticity and activate regenerative processes. Usually, the beautician decides to apply one or another cosmetic procedure, depending on the individual characteristics, after examining the patient.

1. Elimination of bags and edema

To get rid of the "sliding" of the skin around the eyes and restore the look to its former freshness, cosmetologists use hardware massage or combine it with microcurrent therapy. These procedures are aimed at getting rid of congestion in the vessels, strengthening them, to restore tone to the skin and muscles. The skin under the eyes is smoothed and excess fluid is removed after 2-3 procedures. Experts recommend not to finish the application, but to go through 10-15 sessions to consolidate and prolong the effect. The procedures are applied 2-3 times a week.

2. Erasing wrinkles around the eyes

If you are 30-35 years old and wrinkles around the eyes are not yet very pronounced, you can get rid of them with the help of a special massage – facebuilding. This method helps to improve blood circulation, lymph outflow, saturate the skin with oxygen and strengthen blood vessels.

After 35 years old, wrinkles around the eyes are relieved by botulinum toxin injection procedures. After the injection, the result will be noticeable after 2-14 days. Smooth skin around the eyes and a fresh look lasts for 6-8 months. Although it happens that the lines expire faster, it depends on proper skin care around the eyes and lifestyle. Botox is administered once and after 6 months the procedure can be repeated.

Rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes in the presence of wrinkles and edema occurs after the use of mesotherapy before Botox injection to improve blood and lymph microcirculation. Mesotherapy – the introduction of a special cocktail under the skin, which stimulates cellular metabolism and improves skin tone. The composition of the cocktail is selected individually and may consist of: amino acids, vascular agents, enzymes, trace elements, antioxidants and vitamins.

3. Pigmentation removal

To achieve smooth and uniform skin around the eyes, cosmetologists recommend combining procedures, for example: chemical peeling, mesotherapy or biorevitalization. The mechanism for introducing cocktails during mesotherapy and biorevitalization is the same. These procedures differ in the composition of the preparations. Biorevitalization cocktails contain hyaluronic acid with a large molecule.

Before applying anti-aging procedures in the area around the eyes, a chemical peel is performed to fully cleanse the face. A week after the peeling, the cosmetologist performs a biorevitalization or mesotherapy procedure.

4. Getting rid of dark circles under the eyes

Oxygen-ozone therapy eliminates this problem. The procedure is carried out in a course of 5-10 approaches. In addition to the effect of rejuvenation, therapy is indicated for smokers. With its help, the skin under the eyes noticeably brightens, the face becomes fresh and radiant, rejuvenating for 5 years or more.  

5. Smoothing of the nasolacrimal trough

Nasolacrimal sulcus – it is a notch from the inside of the eye to the middle of the cheek. This flaw ages the face and adds about 10 years. And the elimination of this symptom will provide rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes and the entire face.

Injections of hyaluronic acid as well as collagen are used to smooth out this furrow. An acid gel is injected under the skin, which fills the furrow, visibly smoothing the skin. The effect lasts from 6 months to 1 year.  

6. Removal of a hernia of the upper or lower eyelid

Sometimes cosmetologists recommend the introduction of a gel to mask a hernia. Basically, this method is not suitable, and in order to get rid of the hernia, it is necessary to perform blepharoplasty – removal by surgery.

Cosmetologists carry out rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes using various methods that promise to preserve youth and beauty for many years. Therefore, it should be borne in mind that it is easier, faster and more effective to deal with early signs of aging.
