They say that every woman begins to age in her own way: one breast suddenly slips, the other is dyed with her hands, the third finds a thick layer of fat on her waist that opposes fitness. But all these mistakes can be disguised with the right clothes or good makeup, but what to do with the eyes and eyelids, where the "signs" of age appear with increasing speed?
The main problems related to age in the eyelids and the area around the eyes can be summarized as follows: there is little collagen, but a lot of fat. The latter is a large "bag" that gives an unhealthy look. Collagen deficiency includes loose skin folds on the eyelids and a deepening network of wrinkles over the years. What to do? Eliminates excess "age" and stimulates collagen formation!
Aesthetic problems in this area can arise not only due to old age, but also due to hereditary predisposition, diseases of the thyroid gland, cardiovascular system, kidneys, allergies and unhealthy lifestyle. Therefore, any manipulation to rejuvenate the eyelids and skin around the eyes is only possible after explaining the state of health and determining the cause of this aesthetic defect.
Cut and sew. . .
Blepharoplasty is a classic rejuvenating eyelid surgery that removes excess adipose tissue and skin. Surgeons make incisions along the edges of the ciliary and at the folds of the eyelids, removing the "excess" and sutures - naturally, the process takes place under anesthesia.
And then. . . Bruises, swelling, pain in the eyes - all this lasts up to two weeks. Such a recovery period sets aside the normal rhythm of life for a long time, and is only scary to risk your eye health for the sake of the eyelid aesthetics. And the most unpleasant thing is that the doctor can be "excessive", and then there will be a feeling of emotion.
A few years ago, there was a legend about our pop star who allegedly could not close or open his eyes completely: annoying eyelids. . . And even now, some people, after undergoing unsuccessful blepharoplasty, acquire undue facial expressions. But with successful results, the eyes become younger immediately ten to fifteen years!
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a gentler operation than the classic one, performed on the lower eyelid: excess fat is removed through a puncture or small incision. True, it is impossible to get rid of excess skin this way. But facial expressions are not disturbed at all and the cut and shape of the eyes do not change.
Heat, evaporate. . .
Non-surgical blepharoplasty is the rejuvenation of the eyelid area without surgery. Less risk, contraindications, shorter recovery period, and effectiveness are almost identical. Removes hanging and sagging skin, bags under the eyes, "opens" the eyes and restores appearance - all this can be done thanks to the use of modern hardware techniques, such as laser and radio wave lifting.
Special monopolar devices have high enough power and give clear results after just one session (and the second is not needed! ). Bipolar has a milder effect on the skin, therefore, to achieve the desired effect, you need several procedures.
Thermage and thermolifting are radio wave technologies that use energy to heat tissues: old collagen is destroyed under the influence of high temperatures, and its rapid growth begins immediately. The radio frequency lift is very effective on the upper eyelids, but the skin around the eyes shrinks, becomes more elastic and youthful, and the overhang disappears. The effects grow within six months and last for up to five years.
Fraxel lasers or fractions of phototrolysis - used to correct wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead. A small amount of old skin is removed (evaporated with a laser) towards it, and young and healthy skin is formed in its place. When heated, collagen becomes thicker and more elastic, the skin gradually tightens. After three to four procedures with an interval of one and a half to two months, we can say that the skin around the eyes is completely renewed.
And now - Perlchik!
- Carboxytherapy - an injection technique that introduces carbon dioxide under the skin - activates local blood circulation, as a result tissues are better supplied with oxygen, and cells are more active in producing collagen. After a few sessions, bags and wrinkles are reduced, bruising under the eyes disappears, a lifting effect is observed on the eyelids. Another advantage is that this procedure has a minimum of contraindications and the shortest recovery period.
- Contours come to the rescue 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 hyaluronic acid with low density. They are injected superficially, just below the wrinkles, to support and straighten tired skin and create new volume. The filler restores normal moisture levels and gives a lifting effect of at least six months. The procedure is quite simple and comfortable, and if you do it regularly, you can really delay the age-related skin changes.
- And the most stylish, environmentally friendly and safe procedure today is plasmolifting. Platelet-rich plasma, isolated from the patient's own blood, is injected under the skin and initiates a regeneration process, accelerating the production of collagen and elastin. Rejuvenation takes place from the inside - without the introduction of foreign substances into the body, and therefore without the risk of allergic reactions. A course of three to four procedures will make the skin around the eyes "remember" what it feels like at a young age, and the rejuvenation results will last at least a year.
