Skin folds on the lower and upper eyelids appear due to age-related changes in the epidermis. After 25 years, skin cells and muscle fibers lose their natural elasticity, skin turgor decreases, and soft tissue sagging appears in the periorbital area. Innovative cosmetology methods will help remove skin folds around the eyes, crow's feet and expression wrinkles.
Wrinkle removal using injection method
Procedures for removing folds on the eyelids take place in a cosmetology office under the supervision of a specialist. Active substances or your own fat cells are injected into the periorbital area using a small diameter needle.
After the injection, the epidermis is smoothed due to the replenishment of the intercellular space or blocking of muscle fibers. With other injection techniques, metabolic processes in the tissues of the epidermis are accelerated, and the production of natural collagen and elastin in the skin increases. Injection methods:
Do I need to prepare for beauty injections?
All procedures involving injections involve puncture of the skin with the introduction of the drug into the tissue, and therefore require careful preparation. General recommendations:
- cessation of drinking alcohol and smoking 2–3 days before the procedure;
- avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen-based medications, and other medications that cause dilation of blood vessels.
The main indication for beauty injections is skin condition.
Procedure
Before giving the injection, the specialist:
- cleanses the skin of makeup;
- treats the face with an antiseptic;
- anesthetizes the desired areas by applying a lidocaine-based gel.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is used for the first signs of aging of the eyelid skin: deep and superficial wrinkles. After the procedure, the skin becomes smooth and elastic, water-lipid metabolism is restored, and the skin color acquires a healthy shade.
Procedure technique: intradermal injections of hyaluronic acid are made into the periorbital area. Along with it, the solution contains amino acids, enzymes, and vitamins. The result of the manipulation: deep wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin on the eyelids is tightened, the face looks younger. The effect of mesotherapy becomes noticeable after 15 – 20 days.
Recovery period
To ensure a favorable result, cosmetology has precise instructions on what needs to be done upon completion of the procedure. Recommendations from cosmetologists may differ depending on the drug, but there are also general requirements.
Within 2 weeks after injections it is prohibited:
- apply decorative cosmetics, masks and creams to the face that have not been approved by a specialist;
- steam in a sauna or steam bath;
- visit the solarium and sunbathe in the sun;
- drinking alcohol.
Possible consequences
In places where the skin is punctured, the following may be observed within 1–3 days:
- bruises and lumps;
- painful sensations when touched or pressed;
- slight swelling.
Also, some women complain of headaches. All symptoms must be reported to a specialist.
Biorevitalization
The technique of implementation of biorevitalization is similar to mesotherapy: hyaluronic acid is injected into the epidermis. The difference is that with mesotherapy the effect does not last long, because in addition to the acid, the solution contains substances that are not independently synthesized at the cellular level. During biorevitalization, a week after the injection, active production of its own hyaluronic acid occurs, due to which the skin of the eyelids is rejuvenated and tightened naturally. The procedure can be performed on girls and women from 25 years of age.
Contraindications
Not everyone can administer drugs under the skin. The procedure cannot be performed if:
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- acute respiratory infections, ARVI;
- feverish condition;
- individual sensitivity to drug components;
- the presence of keloid scars;
- exacerbation of herpes;
- oncology;
- insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus;
- poor blood clotting.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, cosmetologists also do not advise women to resort to these procedures.
Laser therapy
The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia: an analgesic cream is applied to the eyelid area. Resurfacing the skin around the eyes with a laser beam removes the upper layer of the dermis to a depth of 130 microns. As a result, after several procedures, the epidermis is completely cleared of the outer layer of cells, and the production of new cellular structures at the level of the basal layer is activated. Laser wrinkle removal technology is carried out at the site of formation of facial folds and age-related changes in the skin of the eyelids.
Information about the manufacturer and seller
- The development and sale of Mesoai gel is carried out by the American company ABG LAB LLC, which specializes in the creation of injectable and external cosmetics based on synthetic peptides. In our country, it is well known for such sensational products as Meso-Wharton P199, Meso-Xanthin F199 and MesoSculpt C71.
- The drug is produced in South Korea, at the plant of BNC Korea, Inc. – it produces several lines of fillers based on hyaluronic acid, mainly for the domestic market and is little known outside its country. On the territory of the Russian Federation, the interests of ABG LAB are represented by the company PremierPharm (“Premier Pharm”). It has exclusive rights to sell all the products of its American partner, and also conducts training seminars on them for cosmetologists.
- In 2016, Mesoeye C71 was registered by Roszdravnadzor as a “gel-implant for intradermal administration” (registration No. RZN 2016/4773), which fully complies with the current requirements for the legal registration of fillers and other products for injection cosmetology.
- In the foreign segment of the Internet, there are practically no significant mentions of this and other drugs produced by ABG LAB - thus, we can conclude that the company is focused exclusively on the Russian market. This in itself is neither good nor bad, but for obvious reasons this nuance is not further advertised anywhere.
Photorejuvenation
The technique for removing visual defects on the skin around the eyes is based on the use of a light beam of a certain frequency. A light-conducting gel is applied to the periorbital area, after which the eyelid skin is treated with short light flashes. The photorejuvenation procedure is not suitable for women with dark skin. The method of removing wrinkles using a light beam has a long-lasting effect - the skin of the eyelids remains elastic and taut for three years.
Among the classic cosmetic products, one cannot fail to mention chemical peeling.
Fillers
Fillers allow you to lift your face, correct its oval, eliminate deep wrinkles and creases in the skin, and add volume to the cheekbones and nose.
The preparations are gel texture products. In terms of effect, they are an alternative to plastic surgery. Their main advantage is the lack of influence on facial expressions.
Fillers are often used to eliminate deep nasolabial folds.
The main components of fillers are:
- purified silicone (harmful, causing many side effects, prohibited in Europe and the USA);
- collagen of animal origin or purified human;
- hyaluronic acid.
A new and rather difficult technology is the introduction of the patient’s own fat as fillers. It is taken in the required quantity during liposuction. After this, the material goes through several stages of processing and is distributed under the skin of the face. Its expensive price is justified. The drug causes virtually no adverse reactions and its results last six months longer.
Fillers have different consistencies. Top-class specialists work with dense textures. It is difficult to distribute them evenly under the skin to avoid the formation of lumps and lumps. But the result after their introduction is visible immediately, the effect lasts longer.
Fillers in the form of a liquid gel are distributed easily and lie flat. The effect is visible almost immediately.
In general, the effect of fillers lasts for a period of 6 – 12 months. They are recommended for women aged 35–50 years.
Chemical peeling
The essence of the chemical peeling procedure: organic acid is applied to the skin around the eyes, dissolving keratinized particles of the epidermis. Due to the active components of the acid, active growth of cells in the basal layer of the skin begins, metabolic processes at the cellular level are stimulated, and fibroblasts are produced. As a result, the dermis layer thickens, the skin is saturated with moisture, and protective functions are enhanced, preventing the removal of fluid from the intercellular space. Gentle organic acids are used to carry out the procedure. The effect of the procedure lasts about two months. Then it is recommended to repeat the chemical peeling.
Correction of excessive sweating – correction of hyperhidrosis is carried out in the following areas:
- correction of excessive sweating of the axillary areas is an injection treatment for a disorder that affects the eccrine sweat glands of the skin of the axillary areas, the symptoms of which are excessive sweating with an intense unpleasant odor;
- correction of excessive sweating of the palms - injection treatment of dysfunction of the eccrine sweat glands located in the skin of the palmar surfaces of the hands, which is accompanied by increased sweat production and constant hand moisture;
- correction of excessive sweating of the feet – injection treatment of chronic dermatosis, characterized by increased sweating in the sole area.
Advantages and disadvantages of Botox injections around the eyes
The main advantages of botulinum toxin injections around the eyes are the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. The technique is painless, and the results can be assessed after the first visit to a cosmetologist. Other advantages of botulinum therapy include:
- Less traumatic. Injections are administered subcutaneously with a special syringe equipped with an ultra-thin needle. Cosmetology needles make micro-punctures, minimally damaging the skin. This reduces the risk of complications, hematomas, and inflammation.
- Painless. Before administering the drug, the skin is treated with an anesthetic, so all manipulations are painless and do not cause discomfort.
- Speed of manipulation. The average duration of the rejuvenating procedure is 20 – 35 minutes. A professional cosmetologist carefully, painlessly and safely carries out all manipulations, so the patient can relax and unwind, and after half an hour enjoy the result.
- The ability to get rid of various types of wrinkles. Botox, which blocks muscle contractions, helps get rid of subtle expression lines and pronounced age wrinkles. Since after the procedure the patient stops frowning, over time the skin at the injection sites smooths out and looks fresher.
- Short rehabilitation. Compared to more radical anti-aging techniques, botulinum therapy has a short rehabilitation period - 1.5 - 2 weeks. At this time, it is important to follow the cosmetologist’s recommendations in order to consolidate the result and prevent side effects.
- The ability to get rid of serious facial defects. Botox in the eyes eliminates strabismus, asymmetry and other aesthetic defects.
Like any other cosmetic procedure, botulinum therapy has its drawbacks, which are important to familiarize yourself with before resorting to the technique. The main disadvantages are:
- Risk of complications. Side effects after botulinum toxin injections are rare, but they are not excluded. Complications are often associated with non-compliance with the rules of the rehabilitation period; less often, consequences arise due to the fault of the doctor who did not take into account contraindications or violated the technique of performing manipulations.
- Large list of contraindications. Any, even minimally traumatic, external intervention can serve as a trigger for the progression of the disease occurring in the body. Therefore, in certain pathologies accompanied by disruption of internal organs and systems, Botox injections are strictly prohibited, otherwise complications cannot be avoided.
- Short-term effect. Botulinum toxin is gradually eliminated from the body. The effect after the procedure lasts on average about 10 – 12 months. After this period, you will have to resort to the technique again, which is not always convenient.
Side effects
Complications after botulinum therapy occur extremely rarely, and they are mainly associated with non-compliance with the rules of the rehabilitation period. More rarely, side effects are the result of a cosmetologist violating the technology of the procedure, ignoring contraindications, or failing to comply with the rules of septic tanks and antiseptics.
The most common complications after Botox injections under the eyes are:
- irritation of the mucous membranes of the eyes;
- excessive tearing, blurred vision;
- excessive muscle locking;
- formation of hematomas, compactions, extensive edema;
- allergies accompanied by itching, inflammation, pain in the eyes;
