How to remove wrinkles under the eyes?

Wrinkles are an integral part of growth. And if it is almost impossible to completely eliminate them, reducing their depth and visibility is a very real task.

To do this, you will need: an experienced cosmetologist, competent care, restoration and health support, as well as cosmetic procedures. If you follow all the points, youth will remain on your face for a long time.

When do wrinkles under the eyes appear?

The first signs of aging usually appear in the area around the eyes. This is explained by the anatomical features of this area: the skin here is very thin.

Depending on the causes of their appearance, wrinkles are divided into two types:

• Static (based on age).They are directly related to the biological aging of our body, due to which the subcutaneous fat layer thins, vascular tissue decreases and collagen fibers are destroyed. Such wrinkles appear after 30-40 years.
• Dynamic (facial).They appear due to the motor activity of the orbicularis oculi muscle. Participate actively when he smiles, closes his eyes, and so on. Therefore, wrinkles around the eyes are formed already at 20-25 years old.

Causes of wrinkles around the eyes

Wrinkles appear not only due to age and excessive facial expressions.

There are other reasons for this:

• From the constant incorrect facial position"Sleep wrinkles" may occur. This is especially common when a person sleeps with their face in the pillow.
• Insufficient hydration.The skin's elasticity is given by elastin and a collagen structure, which "breaks down" with a lack of moisture.
• Poor eyesightthey often make you strain your eyes and squint, creating the conditions for the appearance of the first wrinkles around the eyes.
• Incorrect daily care.For this reason the skin may not receive enough elements necessary to maintain youth.
• Fatigue.It affects a number of negative changes in the skin: it reduces the production of "beauty hormones", leads to the destruction of collagen and elastin, and also impairs blood circulation.
• Dramatic weight loss.The fat layer disappears and with it often useful microelements, tone and elasticity of the skin.
• Genetics.The type of dry skin and the early appearance of wrinkles are passed on to us from our parents, just like the color of our eyes or hair.
• Photoaging.It's no secret that ultraviolet rays have a negative effect on the skin. If you do not protect yourself from them, pigmentation will occur and premature wrinkles will appear. Considering the anatomical characteristics of the skin around the eyes, it is the first to react to aggressive external factors.

How to get rid of wrinkles under the eyes: cosmetic procedures

All procedures aimed at combating this cosmetic defect can be divided into two groups:

1. Camouflage procedures (mesotherapy, biorevitalization, Botox, whitening).They help temporarily remove wrinkles and reduce their severity. The duration of the results of such cosmetic interventions is on average 6 months.
2. Deep rejuvenation procedures.These include ultrasonic lift, laser resurfacing, thread lift and chemical peels. These procedures aim for deep subcutaneous effects, stimulating cell renewal and the synthesis of collagen and elastin. The result can last 2-3 years.

All procedures have a number of contraindications, so before any manipulation, consultation with a cosmetologist is necessary.

Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is the injection of a complex of useful minerals, vitamins, peptides and amino acids under the skin. It is a common and delicate technique that allows you to deal with numerous blemishes: wrinkles, acne, stretch marks, scars.

After a course of procedures, the production of elastin and collagen is stimulated and the skin becomes hydrated, smooth and a healthy complexion appears. In the area around the eyes, mesotherapy effectively combats dark circles, bags under the eyes, wrinkles, drooping upper eyelids and crow's feet.

Botulinum therapy

Botox is considered a "veteran" in the rejuvenation market. Botulinum toxin type A injections are intended to eliminate dynamic wrinkles of the lower eyelid, in the outer corner of the eye ("crow's feet") and in the inner corner of the eye ("rabbit wrinkles").

The essence of the procedure is this: botulinum toxin is injected into the muscle, which relaxes the muscles, smoothing the surface of the skin above them. It is the most effective procedure in the fight against wrinkles around the eyes, as it blocks their principle of action.

Biorevitalization

With age, the percentage of hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases and consequently tone is lost, wrinkles and a tired appearance appear. Biorevitalization is one of the favorite and popular procedures among patients because it is safe and its effect does not take long: within a week of injections, skin cells begin to produce collagen and wrinkles begin to fade.

True, after such "beauty injections" small side effects usually occur in the form of papules, swelling and redness, which disappear after a maximum of 3 days.
