They say that every woman starts to age in her own way: one suddenly betrays her breasts, the other gets dirty with her hands, the third discovers a solid layer of fat on her former waist that defies any condition. But all these mistakes can be camouflaged with appropriate clothing or good makeup, but what to do with the eyes and eyelids, where the “signs” of age are appearing at an increasing rate?
The main problems with the eyelids and the area around the eyes related to age can be summarized as follows: there is little collagen and a lot of fat. The latter is a huge “bag” that gives the whole face an unhealthy look. Lack of collagen means loose folds of skin on the eyelids and a network of wrinkles that deepens with age. What to do? Remove "ancient" excess and stimulate collagen production!
Aesthetic problems in this area can occur not only due to advanced age, but also due to hereditary predisposition, thyroid disease, cardiovascular system, kidneys, allergies and unhealthy lifestyle. Therefore, any manipulations to rejuvenate the eyelids and skin around the eyes are possible only after clarifying the health condition and determining the cause of this aesthetic defect.
Cut and sew. . .
Blepharoplasty is a classic eyelid rejuvenation surgery that removes excess fat and skin. The surgeon makes incisions along the edge of the ciliary body and in the folds of the eyelid, removes "excess" and sutures - the process, of course, takes place under anesthesia.
And then. . . Bruising, swelling, eye pain - it all lasts up to two weeks. Such a period of rehabilitation takes a long time out of the normal rhythm of life, and it is frightening to risk eye health due to the aesthetics of the eyelids. And the most embarrassing thing is that the doctor can “overdo it” and then a feeling of overcoming will appear.
A few years ago, there were legends about our pop stars who allegedly couldn’t completely close or open their eyes: their eyelids got involved. . . And even now some people, after a failed blepharoplasty, acquire an unnatural facial expression. But with a successful outcome, the eyes become younger immediately in ten to fifteen years!
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a gentler operation than the classic one, which is performed on the lower eyelids: excess adipose tissue is removed with a small sting or incision. True, it is impossible to get rid of excess skin in this way. But 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 the rejuvenation of the eyelid area without surgery. Less risk, contraindications, much shorter rehabilitation period and efficiency is almost the same. Remove sagging and sagging skin, bags under the eyes, "open" the eyes and rejuvenate the look - all this is possible thanks to the use of modern hardware techniques, such as laser and radio wave lifting.
Special monopolar devices have enough power and give a pronounced result after one session (and the other is not needed! ). Bipolars 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 is destroyed 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 shrinks, becomes more elastic and youthful, and the overhangs disappear. The effect grows within 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 (evaporated with a laser) at the point, and young and healthy skin is formed in its place. When heated, the collagen becomes thicker and more elastic, the skin gradually tightens. After three to four procedures at intervals of one and a half to two months, we can say that the skin around the eyes is completely regenerated.
And now - ukolchik!
- Carboxytherapy - a technique of injecting carbon dioxide under the skin - activates local blood circulation, as a result of which tissues are better supplied with oxygen and cells produce collagen more actively. After a few sessions, the bags and wrinkles are reduced, the bruises under the eyes disappear, and a lifting effect is noticed on the eyelids. Another big plus is that the procedure has the fewest 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 below the wrinkles, to support and even out tired skin and create new volume. Fillers restore normal moisture 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 modern, environmentally friendly and safest procedure today is plasmolifting. Platelet-rich plasma, isolated from the patient's own blood, is injected under the skin and begins 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 for at least a year.
