It is said that every woman begins to age in her own way: one suddenly sags with treachery, the other stains her arms, the third discovers a solid layer of fat on her previous waist that defies all physical form. But all of these mistakes can be covered up with the right clothes or the right makeup, but what to do with eyes and eyelids, where the "signs" of aging appear faster and faster?
The main age-related problems with the eyelids and around the eyes can be summarized as follows: there is little collagen, but a lot of fat. The latter is a huge "bag" that gives the whole face an unhealthy appearance. Lack of collagen means loose skin folds on the eyelids and a network of wrinkles that deepen over the years. What to do? Eliminate “secular” excesses and stimulate collagen formation!
Aesthetic problems in this area can arise not only due to advanced age, but also due to hereditary predisposition, diseases of the thyroid gland, cardiovascular system, kidneys, allergies and aunhealthy lifestyle. Therefore, any manipulation to rejuvenate the eyelids and skin around the eyes is possible only after clarifying the state of health and determining the cause of this cosmetic defect.
Cut and sew. . .
Blepharoplasty is a classic rejuvenating eyelid surgery that removes excess fatty tissue and skin. The surgeon makes incisions along the ciliary edge and in the folds of the eyelid, removes "excess" and sutures - naturally, the process takes place under anesthesia.
And then. . . Bruising, puffiness, pain in the eyes - all this lasts up to two weeks. Such a period of rehabilitation cuts off the normal rhythm of life for a long time, and it is just scary to risk your eye health for the sake of the aesthetics of the eyelids. And the most unpleasant thing is that the doctor can "overdo it", and then there will be a feeling of being overwhelmed.
Several years ago there were legends about our pop stars who allegedly couldn't completely close or open their eyes: the eyelids interfered. . . And even now, some people, after undergoing unsuccessful blepharoplasty, acquire unnatural facial expression. But with a successful result, the eyes immediately rejuvenate from ten to fifteen years!
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a smoother operation than the conventional operation, performed on the lower eyelids: excess fat is removed by a small puncture or incision. Certainly, it is impossible to get rid of excess skin in this way. But the facial expressions are not disturbed at all, and the cut and shape of the eyes do not change.
Warm up, evaporate. . .
Non-surgical blepharoplasty is a rejuvenation of the eyelid area without surgery. Less risk, contraindications, a much shorter rehabilitation period and the effectiveness is almost the same. Eliminate overhanging and sagging skin, bags under the eyes, "open" the eyes and rejuvenate the look - all of this is possible through the use of modern hardware techniques, such as laser and radio wave lifting.
Special monopolar devices have a sufficiently high power and give a pronounced result after only one session (and the second is not necessary! ). Bipolar have a milder effect on the skin. Therefore, to achieve the desired effect, several procedures will be required.
Thermage and thermolifting are radio wave technologies that use energy to heat tissue: old collagen is destroyed under the influence of high temperatures and its rapid growth begins immediately. Radiofrequency lifting is particularly effective on the upper eyelids, but the skin around the eyes shrinks, becomes more elastic and younger, and the overhangs disappear. The effect develops within six months and lasts a long time, up to five years.
Fraxel laser or fractional photothermolysis - used to correct wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead. A small amount of old skin is removed (vaporized with a laser) punctually and young, healthy skin forms in its place. When warmed up, the collagen becomes denser and more elastic, the skin gradually tightens. After three to four procedures with an interval of one and a half to two months, it can be said that the skin around the eyes is completely renewed.
And now - ukolchik!
- Carboxytherapy - an injection technique that puts carbon dioxide under the skin - activates local blood circulation, so that tissues are better supplied with oxygen and cells more actively produce collagen. After several sessions, the bags and wrinkles are reduced, the bruises under the eyes disappear, a lifting effect is observed on the eyelids. Another big advantage is that the procedure has a minimum of contraindications and the shortest rehabilitation period.
- Contouring comes to the aid of those who suffer from crow's feet around the eyes and wrinkles on the lower eyelids. For thin skin, fillers are used - preparations based on low density hyaluronic acid. They are injected superficially, just under the wrinkles, to support and straighten tired skin and create new volume. The fillers restore normal humidity levels and provide a lifting effect for at least six months. The procedure is quite simple and comfortable, and if you do it regularly, you can really delay age-related skin changes.
- And the most fashionable, environmentally friendly, and safest procedure today is plasmolifting. Platelet rich plasma, isolated from the patient's blood, is injected under the skin and starts the regeneration process, accelerates the production of collagen and elastin. Rejuvenation occurs from the inside out - without introducing foreign substances into the body, and therefore without the risk of allergic reactions. A course of three to four procedures will allow the skin around the eyes to "remember" what it was like in youth, and the result of rejuvenation will last for at least a year.
