It is said that every woman begins to age in her own way: one suddenly drains her breasts in an insidious way, the other stains with her arms, the third discovers a solid layer of fat on her former waist that doesn’t match all her stamina. But these flaws 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 at an ever-increasing rate?
The main age-related problems of the eyelids and the area around the eyes can be summarized as follows: low collagen but high fat. The latter is a huge "bag" that gives an unhealthy look to the whole face. Lack of collagen means loose skin folds in the eyelids and a deepening wrinkle network over the years. What to do? Eliminate "ancient" excess and stimulate collagen formation!
Aesthetic problems in this area can arise not only due to old age, but also due to hereditary predisposition, thyroid, cardiovascular system, kidneys, allergies, and unhealthy lifestyles. Therefore, any manipulation to renew the eyelids and the skin around the eyes is possible only after clarifying the state of health and determining the cause of the aesthetic defect.
Cutting and sewing. . .
ABlepharoplasty is a classic rejuvenating eyelid surgery that removes adipose tissue and excess skin. The surgeon makes incisions at the edge of the cilia and in the folds of the eyelid, removing "excess" and sutures - of course, the process takes place under anesthesia.
And then. . . Bruises, swellings, pain in the eyes - all last for two weeks. Such a rehabilitation period knocks out of the normal rhythm of life for a long time and it is just scary to risk the health of the eye for the aesthetics of the eyelid. And the most annoying thing is that the doctor can “overdo it” and then you will feel overwhelmed.
A few years ago, there were legends about our pop stars who supposedly couldn’t completely close or open their eyes: the eyelids intervened. . . And some people, even now, undergoing unsuccessful blepharoplasty, gain an unnatural facial expression. But with a successful result, the eye immediately becomes younger by ten to fifteen years!
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a more gentle-than-classic operation performed on the lower eyelid: excess fat is removed by a small puncture or incision. True, it is impossible to get rid of excess skin in this way. But the facial expressions are not disturbed at all, and the cut and shape of the eye does not change either.
Warm-up, evaporation. . .
Non-surgical blepharoplasty is the non-surgical rejuvenation of the eyelid area. Less risk, contraindications, much shorter rehabilitation period, and effectiveness are almost the same. Remove protruding and sagging skin, bags under the eyes, “open” the eyes and rejuvenate the look - all thanks to modern hardware techniques such as laser and radio wave augmentation.
Special monopolar devices are powerful enough to give a pronounced result after a session (and the second is not needed! ). Bipolar agents have a softer effect on the skin, so several procedures are needed to achieve the desired effect.
Thermase and thermolifting are radio wave technologies that use energy to heat tissues: old collagen is destroyed by high temperatures and its rapid growth begins immediately. The radiofrequency lift is particularly effective on the upper eyelid, but the skin around the eye shrinks, becomes more elastic and youthful, and the protrusions disappear. The effect increases within six months and lasts for a long time, up to five years.
Fraxel laser or fractional photothermolysis - used to repair wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. A small amount of aged skin is removed point by point (laser evaporated) and a young and healthy skin is formed in its place. When warmed up, the collagen becomes denser and more elastic, the skin gradually becomes tighter. After the procedure performed at intervals of three to four months 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 local blood circulation, resulting in better supply of oxygen to tissues and more active production of collagen by cells. After several 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 minimal contraindications and the shortest rehabilitation period.
- Contouring is used to save those who suffer from magpies around the eyes and wrinkles in the lower eyelids. Fillers are used for thin skin - low density hyaluronic acid based preparations. They are superficially injected directly under the wrinkles to support and straighten tired skin and create a 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 done regularly, it can really delay age-related skin changes.
- And the most fashionable, environmentally friendly and safe process 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 takes place from within - without introducing 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 was like when you were young, and the result of the rejuvenation will last for at least a year.
