They say that each woman begins to age in her own way: one suddenly sinks her breasts treacherously, the other is stained with her arms, the third discovers a solid layer of fat on the front waist that defies any physical conditioning. But all these mistakes can be camouflaged with the right clothes or good makeup, but what about your eyes and eyelids, where the “signs” of age appear faster and faster?
The main age-related problems 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 huge “bag” that gives the whole face a sickly look. Collagen deficiencies include loose skin folds on the eyelids and a network of wrinkles that deepens over the years. What to do? Eliminate the "old" excess and stimulate the formation of collagen!
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 manipulations to rejuvenate the eyelids and the skin around the eyes are only possible after clarifying the state of health and determining the cause of this aesthetic defect.
Cut and sew. . .
Blepharoplasty is a classic eyelid rejuvenation surgery that removes excess adipose tissue and skin. The surgeon makes incisions along the ciliary border and in the folds of the eyelid, removes the "excess" and sutures - naturally, the process takes place under anesthesia.
And then. . . Bruising, swelling, pain in the eyes - all of this lasts up to two weeks. This rehabilitation period takes the normal rhythm out of life for a long time, and it is simply frightening to risk your eye health for the sake of your 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 supposedly couldn't close or open their eyes completely: the lids interfered. . . And even now, some people, having undergone an unsuccessful blepharoplasty, acquire an abnormal facial expression. But, with a successful result, the eyes immediately become younger by ten to fifteen years!
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a smoother operation than the classic one, performed on the lower eyelids: the excess fat is removed through a small puncture or incision. It is true that it is impossible to get rid of excess skin in this way. But facial expressions are not disturbed and the cut and shape of the eyes do not change.
Heat, evaporate. . .
Non-surgical blepharoplasty is a rejuvenation of the eyelid area without surgery. Less risk, contraindications, much shorter rehabilitation period and the effectiveness is almost the same. Eliminate drooping and flabby skins, bags under your eyes, "open" your eyes and rejuvenate the look - all of this is possible thanks to the use of modern hardware techniques, such as laser and radio wave survey.
Special monopolar devices have a sufficiently high power and provide a pronounced result after one session (and the second is not necessary! ). Bipolar devices have a softer effect on the skin, so to achieve the desired effect, a series of procedures will be necessary.
Thermage and thermolifting are radio wave technologies that use energy to heat tissues: the old collagen is destroyed under the influence of high temperatures and its rapid growth begins immediately. Elevation by radio frequency is especially effective on the upper eyelids, but the skin around the eyes also shrinks, becomes more elastic and young, and the bumps disappear. The effect grows in six months and lasts long enough, 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 (sprayed with a laser) on time and young, healthy skin is formed instead. When heated, collagen becomes more dense and elastic, the skin gradually stretching. 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 - ukolchik!
- Carboxitherapy - a technique for injecting carbon dioxide under the skin - activates local blood circulation, as a result of which tissues receive a better supply of oxygen and cells produce collagen more actively. After several sessions, the bags and wrinkles are reduced, the bruises under the eyes disappear, a lifting effect is observed on the eyelids. Another great advantage is that the procedure has the minimum of contraindications and the shortest period of rehabilitation.
- The contour comes 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 low density hyaluronic acid. They are injected superficially, just below 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, it can actually slow down age-related skin changes.
- And the most modern, ecological and safe procedure today is plasmolifting. Platelet-rich plasma, isolated from the patient's own blood, is injected under the skin and initiates the regeneration process, accelerating the production of collagen and elastin. Rejuvenation occurs from the inside out - 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 your eyes "remember" what it was like in youth, and the result of rejuvenation will last at least a year.
