Below are described all modern means - from cosmetic to hardware - with which you can remove wrinkles under the eyes. There are many ways so that any woman can choose care in accordance with her needs.
First, let’s try to answer a question that excites many people: “Is it possible to reduce facial wrinkles under the eyes?”
It is really easier to remove such imperfections than age wrinkles, because the mechanism of their occurrence is completely different. Expression wrinkles appear due to muscle contraction. Eliminate emotions, do not
frown, do not squint your eyes - and the skin is again smooth and even. Age wrinkles are organic changes in the skin, the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers. Another issue is that facial wrinkles “get fixed” over time. The skin gradually loses its ability to recover and “tears” in the places of greatest tension. So any folds on the skin that appear as a result of active facial expressions should be taken as a forecast for the future, which means that it is necessary to begin to act. To correct wrinkles, you can use any of the following methods.
How to remove wrinkles under the eyes: folk remedies
The most popular home treatments are masks and compresses. There are a lot of recipes, among them it is quite possible to find your own, those that are suitable exclusively for your skin. The most effective anti-wrinkle ingredients that can be included in homemade masks are honey, egg yolk, oils (olive, apricot) and aloe juice. All of them, in fact, are natural cocktails made of vitamins and active nutrients that saturate the skin, make it more dense. A powerful natural antioxidant - spinach, cinnamon stimulates blood circulation, non-acidic fruits and vegetables (bananas, peaches, cucumbers) - perfectly moisturize, and parsley and raw potatoes provide good lymphatic drainage and reduce eye circles. Folk remedies can be very effective, the main thing is not to be lazy to do the procedures regularly, not to spare time for preparing masks, which, of course, is not suitable for all modern women.
How to remove wrinkles under the eyes with cosmetics
It should be understood that it is very difficult to remove wrinkles (or reduce existing ones) using cosmetics. Those who are aimed at the prevention of such changes and begin to care for the skin of the eyelids no later than from 21 years are more likely to succeed. And here is what the professionals offer:
- Creams, serums, gels. Although all these cosmetics differ in texture, their main task is the same: they play a major role in the care of the skin around the eyelids. Their effectiveness depends on the active substances contained in them, so when choosing a cream, the most important thing is to read the composition, and not the advertisement or description from the manufacturer. Components that cope with wrinkles are: hyaluronic acid, microcollagen, retinol, vitamins A, E and C, argylerin - a natural analogue of Botox, which “freezes” the folds of the epidermis.
- Masks Manufacturers do not often offer masks for the skin around the eyes (after all, this is the prerogative of home care, where they can be quickly prepared and used). However, in the lines of professional cosmetics you can find such a product, while it is very expensive.
- Gel patches for the skin around the eyes - they moisturize, relax, tone, make the skin stronger and firmer, and although they do not contribute to the elimination of existing deep wrinkles, they quite effectively prevent the appearance of new ones and can smooth out small facial wrinkles in one session.
- Lotions, tonics and milk. Usually they are designed to remove makeup, but, given that creams should be applied only to well-prepared clean skin, you can use them to prepare the eyelids for further cosmetic procedures.
How to remove wrinkles under the eyes? Exercises
With the help of exercises you can not only model the oval of the face, but also prevent the appearance of wrinkles, one of the reasons for the appearance of which is the loss of tone and elasticity of the epidermis. Exercises contribute to the creation of a reliable “skeleton” for the superficial layers of the skin, make it possible to strengthen the muscles of the upper and lower eyelids, reduce the “crow's feet” and longitudinal wrinkles under the eyes, and increase the tone of the upper eyelids. All exercises involve clamping a specific area with your fingers, and then moving your eyebrows or eyelids. For example, to get rid of “crow's feet” you need to gently hold the skin on the upper eyelid (on the edge of the eye socket) with the pads of your fingers, while closing your eyes and holding them in this position for a while.
How to reduce wrinkles under the eyes with massage
This is a fairly effective way for persistent women who are ready to do daily work. The undoubted advantage of the procedure is that it has absolutely no contraindications, and it can be carried out during the application of the cream, after properly preparing the skin (cleansing, applying a light gel for better gliding). You can make elementary movements, such as pats and strokes, or you can resort to Japanese shiatsu massage, acting on acupuncture points. Cold water eye massage is also very helpful.
How to remove wrinkles under the eyes in beauty salons
Salon procedures include surgical methods, injection, hardware.
Surgical blepharoplasty.
Injection methods:
- Botox injections. Neurotoxin does not directly affect the skin, but allows the periocular circular muscle to relax. It is this method that allows you to "erase" existing wrinkles around the eyes.
- Mesotherapy - specially created preparations containing vitamins, hyaluronic acid, collagen are introduced under the thinnest needles under the skin. Doses are microscopic. The peculiarity of this procedure is that the active substances fall precisely in the problem area.
- Fractional mesotherapy is the technology of injecting the drug under the skin, involving multiple microscopic punctures. The latter are so small that the procedure is virtually painless and can be performed without local anesthesia.
- Contour plastic. Special preparations are introduced under the skin - fillers (usually based on hyaluronic acid), which seem to fill the area under the skin. This method is intended for very mature skin.
- Biorevitalization - injections of hyaluronic acid. This method differs from mesotherapy only in the composition of the preparations.
Hardware methods for eliminating wrinkles around the eyes are microdamages of the skin, which allows you to start the regeneration processes and the growth of new young cells. To date, salons offer the following services:
- Chemical peeling - effect on the skin with acids. In fact, a burn is formed on the skin, after which the epidermis is intensively renewed. For the delicate area around the eyes, there are special formulations.
- Miostimulation is an effect on the skin with a current that makes the muscles work and triggers metabolic processes. Myostimulation devices can be purchased for home use.
- Photorejuvenation - exposure to the skin with pulsed light. In the area under the eyes, this procedure is not performed, but it is characterized by a complex effect, so the wrinkles under the eyes after photo rejuvenation are reduced.
- Laser skin rejuvenation - exposure to the epidermis with a network of laser beams of microscopic thickness. This triggers regenerative processes in the skin, stimulates the production of collagen.
The only method that does not involve damage to the skin is a hardware massage. Massagers that stimulate blood circulation in the area around the eyes, promote the outflow of lymph, strengthen and tone the delicate skin around the eyes, are quite available for use at home.
It is also worth mentioning the oxygen-ozone therapy, which is extremely widely used in cosmetology, including can be used to restore the skin around the eyes. An oxygen-ozone mixture is introduced into the problem area, which improves blood circulation, eliminates puffiness and circles under the eyes.
As you can see, the methods used in beauty salons are both operational (albeit with low invasiveness), and physiotherapeutic. The former are associated with certain risks. Before resorting to injection methods of correction, everything should be well weighed.
Of course, these methods can and should be competently combined, depending on the existing problems. For example, botulinum toxin injections should not be given if the skin around the eyes is swollen. First, it must be prepared using hardware massage and mesotherapy, which will improve blood circulation in this area and will avoid complications after the introduction of Botox. In addition, there are many nuances, such as: after Botox, compensatory wrinkles may appear in the corner of the eye and on the nose (since the circular muscle of the eye is blocked in one place, it begins to assemble in another). Such points also need to be taken into account, therefore, only a competent specialist can choose the optimal program of salon procedures after a thorough examination.
