Even if you use expensive creams, serums and eye masks, this is not a guarantee that wrinkles and age spots will not appear on the skin by the age of 40.If cosmetics are ineffective, a more professional approach to problem solving is required – salon procedures.To make matters worse, the skin of the eyelids is very sensitive - not all cosmetic procedures are safe for the eyelid.Only a specialist will recommend the optimal rejuvenation method, taking into account the patient's age and existing skin imperfections.There are several effective hardware and injection procedures that can be included in eyelid skin care.
Mesotherapy: Injection of rejuvenating “cocktails” under the skin
Mesotherapy is an injection procedure in which rejuvenating “cocktails” are injected under the skin in the eyelid area.Their composition is selected individually, taking into account existing problems with coverage.You can sign up for mesotherapy sessions after 30 years.
The active ingredients that have a positive effect are:
- Hyaluronic acid.
- Microelements (magnesium, zinc).
- Vitamins (H, group B).
- Elastin and collagen.
The skin in the eyelid area becomes smoother and more elastic after the injection, wrinkles and “bags” under the eyes are eliminated.Several mesotherapy sessions are usually required to achieve the desired effect.
This salon procedure is quite painful.For some time after the injection, hematomas and swelling on the eyelids may be observed.
Biorevitalization: injection of hyaluronic acid under the skin
Biorevitalization is an injection salon procedure in which hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin.Beauticians recommend resorting to such “beauty injections” after 35 years at the latest.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance found in skin cells.It helps retain moisture in tissue and maintain healthy skin.Only with increasing age does the amount of hyaluronic acid decrease - this causes the skin to dry out, wrinkles appear and its elasticity is lost.The biorevitalization procedure is aimed precisely at replenishing the “reserves” of hyaluronic acid.It helps eliminate wrinkles and dry skin.Cosmetologists believe that this procedure is more effective than mesotherapy - the injected substance is more concentrated in its composition, which makes it possible to reduce the number of sessions.
The procedure lasts a maximum of 50 minutes.To relieve the pain, the beautician applies an anesthetic cream to the patient's skin.Traces of injections on the skin become completely invisible after 2-4 days.To achieve the desired effect, 5-10 sessions are required, which are carried out at a certain time interval.
Biorevitalization has one significant disadvantage: due to the concentrated composition of the injections, allergic reactions after the session cannot be ruled out.
Lymphatic drainage: eyelid care with massage
If you are afraid of injections, you should include lymphatic drainage sessions in your eyelid care, which improve blood circulation in the tissues.This is a special massage of the eye area that helps eliminate puffiness and “blueness” on the eyelids, as well as lymphatic accumulation under the skin.
Salon massage procedures can be manual or mechanical.Manual lymphatic drainage is carried out using special cosmetics so that the master's movements do not cause discomfort and the skin cells receive the necessary nutrients.Once you have mastered the massage technique, you can do it at home.Hardware lymphatic drainage involves exposing the area around the eyes to a vacuum or microcurrents.
RF lifting: hardware salon procedure that removes wrinkles
RF lifting is also called non-surgical blepharoplasty.The procedure shows excellent results - the skin is smoothed, becomes elastic and tightened.RF lifting is believed to be the most effective method for anti-aging beauty sessions.And the procedure is often used to rejuvenate the eyelid area - the delicate area is not damaged.
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 “warmed”, activating the synthesis of elastin and collagen in the cells.
The effect will be noticeable almost immediately:
- the network of wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles disappear;
- The upper and lower eyelids are tightened.
The RF lifting procedure is practically painless, no special preparation is required, the list of contraindications is minimal - not all salon procedures have so many benefits.
As a rule, 3-4 RF lifting sessions are required for the expected result.The break between procedures is 2-3 weeks.To maintain the positive effect, it is recommended to carry out 1-2 RF lifting sessions per year in the future.
Peeling: Actively cleanses the skin
Many beauty salons offer chemical peels for women.They can also be used for the eye area.However, since the skin here is very sensitive, the specialist chooses a gentle mixture of components - usually these are cosmetics based on fruit extracts.Chemical peeling can also be indicated for sensitive skin - but only if there are no contraindications!
The aim of the procedure is to actively cleanse the skin - dead cells are removed, the skin is smoothed and its color is evened out.Peeling is often used as a preparatory step for applying anti-aging masks and serums.
Inject filler under the skin: eliminate wrinkles quickly
Filler is a gel with hyaluronic acid.It is injected under the skin to eliminate wrinkles, “blueness” under the eyes, and bags under the eyes.Mesotherapy also uses a “cocktail” with hyaluronic acid.However, the main difference between the sessions is that the fillers are denser preparations that not only promote the natural production of collagen and elastin, but also literally fill in wrinkles and all the unevenness of the skin.When caring for the eyelids in the salon, gels are used, the density of which is lower than that required for evenness of the skin of the face.Only a professional can advise which component to use.
Experts recommend injection procedures based on fillers from the age of 40 at the earliest.But here, too, it depends largely on the individual physical characteristics of the patient - consultation with a specialist is necessary!During the session, filler is injected into the eyelids using special technology.The drug is distributed throughout the periorbital area.It is noteworthy that the positive result lasts up to 1.5-2 years.
Please note that some time after the injection of fillers under the skin in the eyelid area, swelling may occur.However, this effect is characteristic of all injection rejuvenation procedures - time passes and the skin becomes more even.Another special feature of fillers based on hyaluronic acid is that bluish stripes can be visible in the light under particularly thin skin after the active ingredient has been injected.The effect only disappears after the gel has completely dissolved - in about six months.
