Even if you use expensive creams, serums and eye masks, this does not guarantee that by the age of 40 they will fight and age spots will not appear on the cover. When cosmetics are ineffective, a more professional approach to problem solving is needed - salon treatments. Everything is complicated by the fact that the skin of the eyelids is very delicate - not all cosmetic manipulations will be safe for the cover. Only a specialist will recommend the best way of rejuvenation, taking into account the patient's age and existing skin defects. There are several effective hardware and injection procedures that can be included in eyelid skin care.
Mesotherapy: introduction of anti-age "cocktails" under the skin
Mesotherapy is an injection procedure that involves the introduction of rejuvenating "cocktails" under the skin on the eyelids. Their composition is selected individually, taking into account existing problems with the cover. You can apply for mesotherapy sessions after the age of 30.
Active components that have a positive effect are:
- Hyaluronic acid.
- Trace elements (magnesium, zinc).
- Vitamins (H, group B).
- Elastin and collagen.
After the injections, the skin in the eyelid area is smoothed and becomes more elastic, wrinkles and bags under the eyes are removed. For the desired effect, as a rule, several sessions of mesotherapy are required.
This salon procedure is quite painful. Hematomas and swelling of the eyelids may be noticed some time after the injection.
Biorevitalization: hyaluronic acid injection under the skin
Biorevitalization is an injection salon procedure that involves the injection of hyaluronic acid under the skin. Cosmetologists advise resorting to the help of such "beauty injections" at least after 35 years.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance found in cells of integrity. Helps retain moisture in tissues and maintain healthy looking skin. The amount of hyaluronic acid decreases only with age - this leads to the skin becoming dry and wrinkles appear, its elasticity is lost. The biorevitalization process is aimed at restoring the "reserves" of hyaluronic acid. Helps remove wrinkles and dry skin. Cosmetologists believe that this procedure is more effective than mesotherapy - the injected substance is more concentrated in the composition, which means that the number of sessions can be reduced.
The time-limited procedure takes a maximum of 50 minutes. To make it less painful, the beautician applies an anesthetic cream to the patient's skin. The injection marks on the lid become completely invisible after 2-4 days. In order to achieve the desired effect, 5-10 sessions are needed, which are performed in a certain time interval.
Biorevitalization has one significant drawback - due to the concentrated composition of injections after the session, allergic reactions are not excluded.
Lymphatic drainage: eyelid skin massage
If you are afraid of injection procedures, you should include lymphatic drainage in eyelid care, which improves blood circulation in the tissues. This is a special massage of the area around the eyes that helps to remove swelling and "blueness" on the eyelids, the accumulation of lymph under the skin.
Salon massage treatments can be manual or hardware. Manual lymphatic drainage is carried out using special cosmetics so that the movements of the master do not cause unpleasant sensations, and the cells of the mucosa receive the necessary nutrients. If you master the massage technique, you can do it at home. In addition to hardware lymphatic drainage, a vacuum or microcurrent is applied to the area around the eyes.
RF-lifting: a hardware salon procedure that removes wrinkles
RF-lifting is also called non-surgical blepharoplasty. The procedure shows excellent results - the cover is smoothed, becomes elastic and taut. RF lifting is considered to be the most effective technique for rejuvenating beauty sessions. And the procedure is often used to rejuvenate the mucous membrane in the eyelid area - it will not harm the sensitive mucous membrane.
The essence of RF-lifting is the effect of radio frequencies on the skin that are converted into heat energy. The deep layers of the dermis are “warmed up, ” which promotes the activation of elastin and collagen synthesis in the cells.
The effect will be visible almost immediately:
- the network of wrinkles, puffiness and circles under the eyes disappears;
- upper and lower lids are tightened.
RF-lifting procedure is practically painless, no special preparation is required, the list of contraindications is minimal - not all salon procedures have so many advantages.
As a rule, 3-4 RF boot sessions are required for the expected result. The break between procedures is 2-3 weeks. In order to maintain the positive effect, it is recommended to conduct 1-2 sessions of RF lifting per year in the future.
Peeling: active skin cleansing
Many beauty salons offer chemical peels for women. They can also be applied to the area around the eyes. But since the cover is very sensitive, the expert chooses a gentle mixture of components - as a rule, these are cosmetic products based on fruit extract. Chemical peels can be indicated even for owners of sensitive skin - but only if there are no contraindications!
The procedure is aimed at active cleansing of the skin - dead cells are removed, the cover is leveled, its color is evened out. Also, peeling is often used as a preparatory phase for applying anti-aging masks and serums.
Subcutaneous fillers: quick wrinkle release
Filler is a gel with hyaluronic acid. It is injected under the skin to remove wrinkles, "blue" under the eyes, tear furrows. Mesotherapy also uses a "cocktail" with hyaluronic acid in the composition. But the main difference between the sessions is that the fillers are thicker preparations that not only promote the natural production of collagen and elastin, but also literally fill in wrinkles and all uneven skin. The eyelid salon uses gels that are less thick than those needed to even out facial skin. Which component to use will only be advised by an expert.
Experts recommend filler-based injection procedures not older than 40 years. But even here a lot depends on the individual characteristics of the patient's body - a consultation with an expert is required! During the session, the filler is injected into the eyelids using a special technology. The drug is distributed throughout the periorbital area. It is significant that a positive result lasts up to 1, 5-2 years.
Note that swelling around the eyelids may occur after injecting the filler under the skin. However, this effect is inherent in all anti-aging injection procedures - time will pass and the cover will even out. There is another characteristic feature of fillers based on hyaluronic acid - after injecting the active substance under a particularly thin skin, bluish streaks can be noticed in the light. The effect will pass only after the gel is completely dissolved - after about six months.
