Bags under the eyes: how can cosmetology help?

Why do even the first sessions of mesotherapy in the eye area have an amazing effect?

In the first part of the article, I would like to pay special attention to mesotherapy of the skin around the eyes and think about why it is in this area that age shows itself so quickly.
The fact is that this area of ​​the face often suffers more than others from active facial expressions: all our emotions - joy, sadness, surprise, laughter - are invariably reflected in our eyes, both literally and figuratively. But the skin in the eye area is very thin and sensitive. Therefore, already in youth, the first “crow’s feet” form around. In addition to subtle smile lines, we can pay attention to the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. This is also the effect of thin skin and the absence of a fat layer under it. Over the years, its freshness fades; habits, lifestyle, lack of sleep, lack of vitamins and much, much more greatly influence it. Unfortunately, harmful factors greatly influence our appearance, and the individual characteristics of the body additionally provoke bruises and swelling under the eyes. All this is of little joy, it worries and provokes us to take some steps to solve the problem. The aging process is caused by loss of elasticity and firmness of the skin, which makes itself felt by deterioration of blood circulation and lymph flow. The dermis, according to all the laws of gravity, begins to sag. Not much pleasant. Mesotherapy wonderfully helps to correct such age-related changes and “rejuvenate” the eyes.
Masks and lotions don’t really help prevent dark circles under the eyes and wrinkles. Only the internal saturation of the skin with vitamins and minerals allows it to strengthen, tighten, and shine. Timely injection sessions are an excellent chance to avoid surgical lifts for as long as possible.

How are lipolytics different?

Direct

Examples of drugs: Aqualix, Revital Celluform, Derma

Specificity of action: the introduction of drugs into local fat deposits, including the paint bags, leads to the destruction of the structure of fat cells. Decomposition products are eliminated from the body naturally over time.

Indirect

Examples: Mesoai, Mesoscalpt

Specificity of action: indirect lipolytic agents do not disrupt the cell membrane. They transform fat cells, turning them from white, prone to storing fat, to brown, deprived of this function. Thanks to the effect of lipolytic, adipose tissue is reorganized, decreases in volume, and becomes denser.

Doctors at the Marina Ryabus clinic use only indirect lipolytics and strictly according to indications. We care about preserving the resourcefulness of tissues and advocate the most natural healing and rejuvenation.

Mesotherapy for dark circles and wrinkles – 50 years in cosmetology

Mesotherapy injections became popular several decades ago. The main task of injections is directly related to the tightening and healing effect: correction occurs not only quickly, but also with obvious benefits for the internal condition of the skin. Now this is not just fashion, it is a manifestation of the completely natural desire of every woman to glow with natural beauty and charm. The popularity of the procedure has a very specific explanation and, in addition to its anti-aging and corrective effect, it is safe and accessible. Mesotherapy injections against circles under the eyes began to be done in many aesthetic medicine clinics and by cosmetologists at home. True, the question always arises about the reliability of such manipulations at home or without the participation of a qualified specialist. The delicate and sensitive area around the eyes needs special care and professional treatments. But back in the middle of the 20th century, mesotherapy was considered only a pain-relieving manipulation, which was used by the French physician Michel Pistor.

It is worth taking a closer look at what compounds are used in mesotherapy for dark circles under the eyes and wrinkles. In fact, almost all compositions are essentially very similar. The basis is hyaluronic acid, which, when ingested, stimulates the amazing activity of collagen. Mesococktails include a lot of useful biological substances that stimulate metabolism. For example, their composition (along with hyaluronate) almost always includes in different proportions:

• amino acids;
• minerals;
• vitamins;
• glycolic acid.

Since the skin around our eyes is very sensitive and thin, it is important to choose the right composition and perform manipulations very carefully so as not to further injure the epidermis. For injections in this part of the face, we use special gentle meso-cocktails, characterized by a gentle and delicate effect.

There are the following groups of compounds:

• Preparations with peptides: are most actively used to reduce swelling and dark circles under the eyes. The active components in this composition are proteins. They improve the outflow of lymph, accelerate the blood, remove excess fluid, and effectively launch the metabolic mechanism in cells.
• Preparations with hyaluronate: effectively smooth the skin, nourish it, deeply moisturize it, and have a beneficial effect on elasticity. Useful substances in this combination can be used even for basic wrinkle prevention, saving you from minor visual troubles of premature aging.

Both drugs have a pleasant rejuvenating effect and correct skin defects. The main difference between these two types of compositions is their fundamental purpose: for deep wrinkles and pronounced, unpleasant circles under the eyes, a peptide composition is more suitable. A product with hyaluronic acid will do a great job with small crow's feet. But no matter what mesotherapy you choose for the eyes, before and after you will feel like a different person!

What is important to remember in this case: regardless of your desire, the main recommendation on which product to use should come from a cosmetologist. But your aspirations to become more charming play an equally important role. Therefore, you need to have an open dialogue with a specialist so that you understand each other correctly.

The base of the vitamin-mineral “duet”, together with hyaluronic acid, delicately activates the smoothing mechanism of the dermis. Instead of being disrupted by injections, the skin absorbs all the beneficial components like a sponge, removing the unpleasant blue under the eyes and puffiness, which create the sad impression of extreme fatigue and lack of sleep. Of course, we should not forget about the personal nuances of the epidermis and the level of activity of the body towards regeneration.

Using a thin needle, they reach exactly the right place under the skin, guaranteeing a long-lasting mechanism for maintaining properties. The epidermis is quickly renewed, moisturized, wrinkles smooth out and disappear, and youth returns. True, this effect lasts only as long as the main active ingredient (hyaluronic acid or peptides) is still present in the body. Some time after the injections, they begin to be excreted; this is a natural process. It is the composition of the miraculous cocktail with vitamins and hyaluronate that primarily affects the duration of the result. In second place is the number of injections given per session.

But patients who crave youth and beauty are not stopped by the fact that the effect of the composition ends after some time, since the result is completely justified and nothing prevents you from doing a second series of injections after some time. The area of ​​mesotherapy for the skin around the eyes is definitely the leader in the reviews: “subcutaneous injections get rid of swelling and the hated crow’s feet”, “I look 20 years younger”, “my skin glows from the inside”, “why didn’t I do this before”. The opinions of admiring women and men pour in as if from a cornucopia. Many people notice that the spectrum of action of these injections is very wide. What do those who have already tried mesotherapy focus on:

• amazing rejuvenation effect;
• swelling disappears (this is especially noticeable in the morning, the skin after sleep glows like after a magic serum);
• dark circles under the eyes disappear or become much less pronounced;
• wrinkles around the eyes disappear (the same “crow’s feet” and the result will last for several months);
• the upper eyelid is tightened;
• the oval and contours of the face become clearer and more pronounced, aligned along their natural line (even if you chose only mesotherapy injections for bruises under the eyes);
• the general condition of the skin improves noticeably, its elasticity becomes noticeable even to the touch.

Additionally, let us remind you that the process of collagen and elastin production begins to actively manifest itself under the skin. This cannot be felt on a physical level, but it will be perfectly noticeable in the changed appearance.

Agree, a very attractive list of effects for mesotherapy around the eyes. Before and after photos, which are taken in all clinics, visually prove the result of a wonderful transformation. But is everyone ready for injections for this? There are plenty of people around us who faint at the mere sight of a needle. For them, cosmetology, which never stops developing, has come up with methods without injections. We will talk about this in the next part of our article.

Which fillers are not suitable?

Hyaluronic filler for the area around the eyes can have a higher or lower density. Depending on the clinical situation, we offer patients the most suitable drug. You will not be able to choose the appropriate filler on your own.

To correct the nasolacrimal groove and corners of the eyes (as well as other areas of the face), modern cosmetologists do not use biopolymer (non-absorbable) gels. The introduction of such fillers under the eyes is fraught with the development of inflammation and disruption of symmetry. Subsequently, such a gel can only be removed surgically.

Modern preparations for contouring usually use hyaluronic acid. Less commonly, calcium hydroxyapatite (for example, Radiesse filler). Modern cosmetology does not accept silicone!

Mesotherapy for the skin around the eyes: techniques

As you understand, the healing and rejuvenating effect is directly related to the injection composition and the activation of the processes of natural internal skin renewal. Tone, elasticity and a healthy appearance can be easily restored using various methods aimed at nourishing the skin with beneficial substances. They differ from each other in the way they affect the skin.

There are two techniques of mesotherapy around the eyes. Reviews of one type indicate that it is painless, since it is a procedure without injections. It's called electric corporate. The components of the drug penetrate the epidermis using an electric current. Changes are triggered in the middle layers of the skin by an active composition consisting of molecules with a heterogeneous structure, applied to the dermis around the eyes.

Another mesotherapy technique against circles under the eyes and wrinkles is called needle and is considered a more traditional technique, or classical. Injections are made with thin needles, leaving barely noticeable injection marks. This type of procedure is more unpleasant in sensation, but has a more pronounced effect, since the components of the drug are injected deeper. After manipulations with the needle technique, redness, slight swelling, and minor allergic reactions of a temporary nature may occur. The needle marks disappear very quickly, although they slightly injure the upper layer of the epidermis, leaving you with only the amazing result of a quick transformation. Sometimes a nozzle with miniature needles or a mesoscooter is used to administer the mesococktail.

Contraindications for carrying out

Blepharitis
The procedure has a temporary effect on the skin around the eyes. But it can also be harmful if there are contraindications to “beauty injections”:

• allergy to the components of the drugs used;

• acute period of infection;

• diseases in which blood clotting is impaired;

• severe diabetes;

• inflammatory and infectious diseases of the eyes and skin of the eyelids;

• serious vision problems;

• severe stage of cardiovascular pathology;

• pregnancy and lactation.

General recommendations before and after the procedure

In some preliminary and subsequent aspects of the procedure, it is worth noting the similarity of recommendations for mesotherapy for the eyes. Before and after sessions, it is advisable to avoid drinking alcohol, strong tea and coffee, spicy and fatty foods. All this can increase unnecessary swelling. Avoid acid and chemical peels and scrubs that heavily cleanse your face. In addition, sunbathing and solarium are prohibited. After the session, you will need to refuse to visit the bathhouse, swimming pool and sauna for some period.

About preparing for mesotherapy in the eye area

You can find many examples of mesotherapy results on the Internet. The circles under the eyes in the photos of girls who have not yet had the procedure done are much more noticeable. In close-ups you can clearly see that the rays of wrinkles go away very quickly after injections, but not for everyone. The most therapeutically positive and visual effect is based on two important components:

• the drug for the procedure should be selected by a specialist, focusing on the individual nuances of the skin and the body’s reaction to the general effect of the components;
• A skillfully performed manipulation should start the mechanism of internal nutrition and regeneration of the epidermis after a series of careful pinpoint injections.

All you need is some preliminary preparation. The doctor will first consult you on the topic of contraindications. Immediately before the session, the cosmetologist will again examine your skin and the area of ​​mesotherapy, determine the “pattern” of the manipulations (if these are injections, then the lines for them will be marked). The face is always cleaned and disinfected with special cosmetic products. If you choose mesotherapy for dark circles and wrinkles using injections, you will be given an anesthetic ointment or gel. Anesthesia and injection are also possible. Next, the specialist performs mesotherapy, carefully monitoring your body’s reaction. If an allergy or severe irritation is suspected, he may stop the manipulation. When the required dose of the composition is administered, the main part of the procedure can be considered complete. The face is treated again, this time with a disinfectant and nourishing agent, and a moisturizing mask is applied. You will continue to lie down for a few minutes to allow all the components to be absorbed and distributed.

The total duration of the session is no more than 30 minutes.
