Even if you use expensive eye creams, serums and masks, this does not guarantee that by the age of 40 wrinkles and blemishes will not appear on the covering. When cosmetics are ineffective, a more professional approach to problem solving is required: 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 covering. Only a specialist will recommend the best way to rejuvenate, taking into account the age of the patient and existing skin imperfections. There are several effective hardware and injection procedures that can be included in eyelid skin care.
Mesotherapy: introducing anti-aging "cocktails" under the skin
Mesotherapy is an injection procedure that involves the introduction of rejuvenating "cocktails" under the skin on the eyelids. Its composition is selected individually, taking into account the existing problems with the roof. You can sign up for mesotherapy sessions after 30 years.
As active components that have a positive effect, there are:
- Hyaluronic acid.
- Trace elements (magnesium, zinc).
- Vitamins (H, group B).
- Elastin and collagen.
The skin in the eyelid area after injections becomes smoother and more elastic, wrinkles and "bags" under the eyes are eliminated. To obtain the desired effect, as a rule, several sessions of mesotherapy are required.
This salon procedure is quite painful. For some time after the injections, bruising and swelling may be observed on the eyelids.
Biorevitalization: injection of hyaluronic acid under the skin
Biorevitalization is an injection salon procedure that involves the injection of hyaluronic acid under the skin. Cosmetologists advise to resort to the help of such "beauty injections" at least after 35 years.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance found in the cells of the integument. Helps retain moisture in tissues and maintain healthy-looking skin. The amount of hyaluronic acid only decreases with age; this leads to the fact that the skin dries up and wrinkles appear, its elasticity is lost. The biorevitalization procedure aims precisely to replenish the "reserves" of hyaluronic acid. Helps eliminate wrinkles and dry skin. Cosmetologists believe that this procedure is more effective than mesotherapy: the injected substance has a more concentrated composition, which means that the number of sessions can be reduced.
The timed procedure lasts a maximum of 50 minutes. To make it less painful, the esthetician applies an anesthetic cream to the patient's skin. The injection marks on the cover become completely invisible after 2-4 days. To achieve the desired effect, 5 to 10 sessions will be needed, which are carried out in a certain time interval.
Biorevitalization has a major drawback: due to the concentrated composition of the injections after the session, allergic reactions are not excluded.
Lymphatic drainage: massage for the skin of the eyelids
If you are afraid of injection procedures, you should include lymphatic drainage sessions in the care of your eyelids, which improve blood circulation in the tissues. This is a special massage of the area around the eyes, which helps to remove the puffiness and "blue" in the eyelids, the accumulation of lymph under the skin.
In-salon massage treatments can be manual or hardware. Manual lymphatic drainage is carried out with special cosmetics so that the movements of the master do not cause unpleasant sensations, and the cells of the lining receive the necessary nutrients. If you master the massage technique, you can also do it at home. With hardware lymphatic drainage, a vacuum or microcurrents are applied to the area around the eyes.
RF-lifting: a hardware salon procedure that removes wrinkles
RF lift is also called non-surgical blepharoplasty. The procedure shows excellent results: the covering is smoothed, elastic and taut. Radio frequency lifting is believed to be the most effective technique for rejuvenating beauty sessions. And the procedure is often used to rejuvenate the lining in the eyelid area; will not damage the delicate coating.
The essence of RF lifting is the effect of radio frequencies on the skin, which are converted into thermal energy. The deep layers of the dermis are "heated", which promotes the activation of elastin and collagen synthesis in cells.
The effect will be visible almost immediately:
- the mesh of wrinkles, puffiness and circles under the eyes disappears;
- the upper and lower eyelids are tightened.
The radiofrequency lifting procedure is practically painless, no special preparation is needed, there is a minimal list of contraindications; not all salon procedures have as many benefits.
As a general rule of thumb, 3-4 RF survey sessions are required to obtain the expected result. The pause between procedures is 2-3 weeks. To maintain the positive effect, it is recommended to perform 1-2 RF-lifting sessions per year in the future.
Peeling: active skin cleansing
Many hair salons offer chemical peels for women. They can also be applied in the eye area. But since the cover is very delicate, the specialist selects a gentle mixture of components; These are generally cosmetic products based on fruit extracts. Chemical peel may be indicated even for owners of sensitive skin, but only if there are no contraindications!
The objective of the procedure is to actively cleanse the skin: dead cells are removed, the covering is smoothed and its color leveled. Furthermore, peeling is often used as a preparatory stage for the application of anti-aging masks and serums.
Subcutaneous fillers: rapid wrinkle relief
Filler is a gel with hyaluronic acid. It is injected under the skin to remove wrinkles, "blue" under the eyes, tear lines. Mesotherapy also uses a "cocktail" with hyaluronic acid in the composition. But the main difference between the sessions is that fillers are denser preparations that not only promote the natural production of collagen and elastin, but also literally fill in wrinkles and skin irregularities. Salon eyelid care uses gels that are less dense than necessary to even out facial skin. Which component to use, only a specialist will advise.
Experts recommend filler-based injection procedures no earlier than age 40. But here too, a lot depends on the individual characteristics of the patient's body - a specialized consultation 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 should be noted that a positive result lasts for a period of up to 1, 5-2 years.
Please note that there may be some swelling around the eyelids after injecting the fillers under the skin. However, this effect is inherent in all injection anti-aging procedures - time will pass and the covering will level out. There is a more distinctive feature of fillers based on hyaluronic acid: after the injection of an active substance under the especially thin skin, the bluish streaks can be noticed in the light. The effect will wear off only after the gel has completely dissolved, after about six months.
