They say that every woman begins to age in her own way: one suddenly sags treacherously with her breasts, the other is stained with her arms, the third finds a solid layer of fat on her former waist that defies fitness. But all of these flaws can be camouflaged with the right clothes or makeup. But what to do with the eyes and eyelids, which are showing signs of age with increasing speed?
The most important age-related problems in the eyelids and 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 an unhealthy look. Collagen deficiencies include loose skin folds on the eyelids and a network of wrinkles that deepen over the years. What to do? Eliminate "ancient" excesses and stimulate collagen formation!
Aesthetic problems in this area can arise not only due to advanced age, but also due to hereditary predisposition, diseases of the thyroid, cardiovascular system, kidneys, allergies and an unhealthy lifestyle. Manipulations to rejuvenate the eyelids and the skin around the eyes are therefore only possible after the state of health has been clarified and the cause of this aesthetic defect has been determined.
Cut and sew. . .
Blepharoplasty is a classic rejuvenating eyelid operation in which excess fatty tissue and skin are removed. The surgeon makes incisions along the ciliary edge and in the folds of the eyelid, removing "excess" and sutures - of course the process takes place under anesthesia.
And then. . . Bruises, swelling, pain in the eyes - it all takes up to two weeks. Such a rehabilitation period gets out of the normal rhythm of life for a long time, and it's just scary to put your eye health at risk for the sake of eyelid aesthetics. And the most uncomfortable thing is that the doctor can "overdo" it and then it will feel like overwhelmed.
A few years ago there were legends about our pop stars who supposedly couldn't close or open their eyes completely: the eyelids were annoying. . . And even now, some people who have had unsuccessful blepharoplasty get unnatural expressions on their faces. But with a successful result, the eyes instantly become younger by ten to fifteen years!
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a gentler operation than the classic one, which is performed on the lower eyelids: excess fat is removed through a small puncture or incision. It is true, it is impossible to get rid of excess skin in this way. But the facial expression is not disturbed at all and the cut and shape of the eyes do not change.
Warm up, evaporate. . .
A non-surgical blepharoplasty is a rejuvenation of the eyelid area without surgery. Less risk, contraindications, much shorter rehabilitation time and effectiveness are almost the same. Eliminate sagging and sagging skin, bags under the eyes, "open" eyes and rejuvenate the look - all of this is possible thanks to the use of modern hardware techniques such as laser and radio wave lifting.
Special monopolar devices have a sufficiently high performance and deliver a distinctive result after one session (and the second is not required! ). Bipolar have a softer effect on the skin. To achieve the desired effect, you will 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 high frequency lifting is particularly effective on the upper eyelids, but the skin around the eyes also shrinks, becomes more elastic and youthful, and overhangs disappear. The effects grow within six months and last long enough, up to five years.
Fraxel laser or fractional photothermolysis - to correct wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead. A small amount of old skin is selectively removed (vaporized with a laser) and young and healthy skin is formed in its place. When you warm up, the collagen becomes denser and more elastic, the skin gradually becomes firmer. 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 introducing carbon dioxide under the skin - activates the local blood circulation, whereby tissues are better supplied with oxygen and cells produce more active collagen. After several sessions, bags and wrinkles are reduced, 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 duration of rehabilitation.
- Contouring is used to save people 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 a low density. They are superficially injected just under the wrinkles to support and smooth tired skin and to create new volume. Fillers restore the normal moisture content and ensure 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 method currently available is plasmolifting. 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. The rejuvenation takes place from the inside - without introducing foreign substances into the body and thus without the risk of allergic reactions. With three to four procedures, the skin around the eyes "remembers" how it was when it was young, and the result of rejuvenation lasts for at least a year.
