The skin around the eyes is almost completely devoid of subcutaneous fat, so signs of age-related changes in this area appear at a relatively young age - after 25 years.
Over time, the signs of aging of the skin of the periorbital zone progress, become more noticeable and cannot be corrected by "light" cosmetic procedures, therefore, specialists in beauty salons and cosmetic surgery clinics offerclients laser rejuvenation procedures for the eyelids and skin around the eyes, which include fractional skin resurfacing and laser blepharoplasty.
In 75% of cases of laser application, the beautician eliminates wrinkles, bags under the eyes, tightens the contours of the face. The eye contour laser skin rejuvenation procedure has its advantages and disadvantages, it can only be entrusted to a professional.
Features of aging and professional eyelid skin care
The aging of the skin around the eyes is caused by a number of external and internal factors, among which the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, the use of poor quality cosmetic products, regular stress, lack of sleep, lack ofof vitamins in the body, increased dynamism of the periorbital zone of the face and disruption of the endocrine system (hormones stimulate the work of the main structural elements of the epidermis and dermis). Due to the special anatomical structure of the skin (low thickness and absence of hypodermis) and a number of the above reasons, the first signs of eyelid skin aging, including mimic wrinkles, elastosis, "bags" and dark circles under the eyes, appear early, so this area of the face needs professional cosmetic care.
Today, such rejuvenation procedures based on the use of laser radiation - fractional resurfacing and laser blepharoplasty - are especially popular with clients of beauty salons.
Fractional rejuvenation
The technique of fractional laser rejuvenation (polishing) of the skin around the eyes is indicated for people under 45 years of age. The method is based on the treatment of the skin with intense laser radiation, which accelerates the renewal of the epidermis and heats the skin, which contributes to the activation of the self-regeneration processes of the dermis.
Laser blepharoplasty
Laser blepharoplasty is a more radical method of eyelid rejuvenation, indicated for patients after 45-50 years. This is plastic surgery, in which the doctor surgically removes excess skin around the eyes and restores an attractive appearance to the periorbital area.
The laser is used like a knife during the operation, which makes plastic surgery safer (compared to other types of blepharoplasty) and minimizes the risk of postoperative complications.
Experts do not talk about which method of eyelid laser skin tightening can be called the best, because each technique has its characteristics and advantages. Therefore, at the first signs of aging in the periorbital zone, it is necessary to contact a qualified cosmetologist who, on the basis of a survey and an external analysis of involutive changes in the dermis, will prescribe the most suitable cosmetic procedureto the patient.
