It is said that every woman begins to age in her own way: one suddenly insidiously sags her breasts, the other gets dirty with her hands, the third finds a solid layer of fat on her former waist, which opposes any fitness form. But all these mistakes can be masked with the right clothes or good makeup, but what to do with the eyes and eyelids when the "signs" of age appear at an increasing rate?
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 are huge "bags" that give the whole face an unhealthy look. Collagen deficiency includes loose skin folds on the eyelids and a network of wrinkles that deepens with age. What to do? Eliminate the "century-old" excess and stimulate the formation of collagen!
Aesthetic problems in this area can occur 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 possible only after clarifying 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 fat and skin. The surgeon makes incisions along the ciliary edge and in the folds of the eyelid, removes the "excess" and sutures - of course, the process takes place under anesthesia.
And then. . . Bruises, puffiness, eye pain - all this lasts up to two weeks. Such a period of rehabilitation for a long time kills the normal rhythm of life and it's just scary to risk the health of your eyes in the name of the aesthetics of the eyelids. And the most unpleasant thing is that the doctor may "overdo it", and then there will be a feeling that you are overwhelmed.
A few years ago, there were legends about our pop stars who were said to be unable to close or open their eyes completely: their eyelids intervened. . . And even now, some people who have undergone unsuccessful blepharoplasty acquire an unnatural facial expression. But with a successful result, the eyes become younger immediately by ten to fifteen years!
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a more gentle operation than the classic one performed on the lower eyelids: excess fat is removed by a small puncture or incision. It is true that it is impossible to get rid of excess skin this way. But the 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, much shorter rehabilitation period and effectiveness is almost the same. Eliminate sagging and sagging skin, bags under the eyes, "open" the eyes and rejuvenate the appearance - all this is possible thanks to the use of modern hardware techniques, such as laser and radio wave lifting.
Special monopolar devices have a high enough power and give a pronounced result only after one session (and the second is optional! ). Bipolar ones have a milder effect on the skin, so a course of several procedures will be needed to achieve the desired effect.
Thermage and thermolifting are radio wave technologies that use energy to heat tissues: old collagen breaks down under the influence of high temperatures and its rapid growth begins immediately. Radiofrequency lifting is especially effective on the upper eyelids, but the skin around the eyes also shrinks, becomes more elastic and youthful, and the overhangs disappear. The effect increases within six months and lasts long enough, up to five years.
Fraxel laser or fractional photothermolysis - used to correct wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. A small amount of old skin is removed (evaporated with a laser) in the direction and young and healthy skin is formed in its place. When it warms up, the 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 - ukolchik!
- Carboxytherapy - an injection technique for injecting carbon dioxide under the skin - activates the local blood circulation, as a result of which the tissues are better supplied with oxygen and the cells are more active in producing collagen. After a few sessions, the bags and wrinkles are reduced, the bruises under the eyes disappear and a lifting effect is observed on the eyelids. Another big plus 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 hyaluronic acid with low density. They are injected superficially, just below the wrinkles, to maintain and straighten tired skin and create new volume. The fillers restore normal moisture levels and provide a lifting effect for at least six months. The procedure is quite simple and convenient and if you do it regularly, you can really slow down the age-related changes in the skin.
- And the most modern, environmentally friendly and safe procedure today is plasmalifting. Platelet-rich plasma, isolated from the patient's own blood, is injected under the skin and starts the regeneration process, accelerating the production of collagen and elastin. Rejuvenation occurs from within - 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" how it was in youth and the result of rejuvenation will last at least a year.
