How to get rid of expression lines around the eyes

All events in our life, whether joyful or sad, inevitably leave a mark on our appearance. It’s good when the skin is naturally elastic and resistant to age-related changes, but poor ecology, insufficient sleep, and diets sooner or later lead to the fact that the reflection in the mirror is no longer pleasing, annoying wrinkles appear, and the corners of the eyelids and lips droop.

As a rule, the first signs of age and overwork are sagging eyelid skin, and then only one question begins to torment us: how to remove wrinkles under the eyes . Aesthetic surgery and professional cosmetology will help you compete with nature, keep up with the times and always look impeccable.

There are quite a lot of methods that allow you to level out age-related changes in the skin around the eyes, but each method has its own indications and contraindications, as well as the age at which they are most effective. competently select and draw up an individual program for each patient who wants to remove the recesses under the eyes during a face-to-face consultation, taking into account the patient’s wishes, anatomical features, severity of signs of skin aging, as well as the period of time allocated for rehabilitation . Fundamentally, eye rejuvenation methods are divided into three groups:

• Cosmetological or therapeutic: Botulinum toxin, contouring, biorevitalization, bioreinforcement, peelings, fractional rejuvenation, laser resurfacing.
• Surgical or plastic surgery: blepharoplasty, lipofilling, facelift.
• The combination of surgical and therapeutic methods is a comprehensive rejuvenation.

HOW TO REMOVE WRINKLES UNDER THE EYES USING Botulinum Toxin

A peculiarity of the structure of our face is that the skin is very tightly fused with the underlying fatty tissue, fascia and muscles. Therefore, with any of our facial expressions (and muscle contraction), it actively gathers into folds and grooves, and smoothes out at rest. The more actively we laugh, cry, be indignant, rejoice or get angry, the more often folds “decorate” our face. In youth this is not so scary, because the skin is well hydrated, elastic, and perfectly resistant to change. Such wrinkles are called expression wrinkles. Over time, the properties of the skin deteriorate, and it smoothes out at rest much more slowly, and then stops doing so altogether, as if remembering and retaining creases on its surface - this is how static wrinkles appear.

Based on the above, it becomes clear that the appearance of static wrinkles can be delayed by performing prevention. And the very first remedy that helps remove wrinkles under the eyes is the well-known Botulinum toxin. This drug has long deserved worldwide mega-popularity and is completely justified. Botulinum toxin contains a substance that reversibly blocks neuromuscular conduction, which causes local temporary immobilization of muscles. The effect occurs gradually over a period of 5-14 days after Botulinum toxin injections. As a result, the skin at the sites of botulinum toxin injection is smoothed, leveled, takes on a well-groomed appearance and wrinkles do not appear at all for some time (very individual: 3-6 months), then partially returns (another couple of months), and then gradually the motor activity of the muscle is restored and gradually everything returns to normal.

But during the period of action of Botulinum toxin, you lose the habit of using facial expressions very actively, and as a result, even without its intervention, wrinkles appear more slowly.

The administration of botulinum toxin is recommended already when facial wrinkles appear, i.e. from 27-28 years old. Natural protein instantly smoothes the skin, removing crow's feet. Using botulinum toxin, folds on the bridge of the nose, forehead, around the eyes are removed, the “tails” of eyebrows are raised, the corners of the lips are lifted, etc.

Benefits of Botulinum toxin:

• outpatient procedure.
• low-painful, does not require additional anesthesia.
• smoothes the forehead, eliminating multiple horizontal wrinkles, and lifts the “tails” of the eyebrows.
• eliminates vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows.
• will remove wrinkles under the eyes and remove crow's feet.
• will relieve hypertonicity of the depressor anguli oris muscle, due to which the corners of the mouth will rise and maintain a half-smile even at rest.
• relaxes the vertical platysma bands in the neck.

Cosmetics

People begin to use products to care for the area around the eyes from the age of 18. It is important to select cosmetics based on the time of use and the age of the person. If, for example, you use a nourishing cream before going to bed, you may get severe swelling in the morning. It is better to take a product that has a lymphatic drainage effect.

When the period of active sun comes, you need to use products with UV filters.

It is worth highlighting the components that can cope with wrinkles around the eyes. These are argillerin, vitamins A, E, C, retinol, microcollagen, hyaluronic acid.

HOW TO REMOVE WRINKLES UNDER THE EYES USING CONTOURING

Contour plastic takes second place in solving the question “ how to remove wrinkles under the eyes ” in popularity after Botulinum toxin. It is especially effective after 35 years, at the first stage of the fight against signs of aging or, if necessary, to add volume to a particular part of the face.

To perform contouring, special gels based on hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm, Surgiderm, etc.) or calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse) are used. These substances are biocompatible with the human body, do not cause allergies, are completely dissolved by enzymes and are eliminated without residue after 8 to 18 months. The length of time fillers remain in the body is very individual, because... depends on the state of the immune system.

These drugs are injected into the soft tissues of the face using cannulas or sharp needles to correct facial contours, increasing their volume, restoring smoothness and definition, and eliminating wrinkles under the eyes. At the same time, desolate areas of the face are replenished (cheekbones, lips, chin, facial contours, etc.), and deep wrinkles (nasolabial, nasolacrimal, marionette wrinkles) are evened out and smoothed out.

Advantages of contour plastic surgery:

• Outpatient procedure, short duration
• Performed under local topical anesthesia
• A short rehabilitation period is accompanied by moderate swelling for 3-5 days
• Enlargement of cheekbones, lips, chin, smoothing of facial contours
• Filling nasolacrimal, nasolabial, glabellar, and forehead wrinkles
• Correction of asymmetry.

Professional assistance from a cosmetologist

If you want to help your skin and get good results, then you should seek help from a professional. Beauty salons can offer you several effective procedures that will help remove facial wrinkles around the eyes:

• Botulinum toxin injections. With their help, wrinkles are smoothed out and the orbicularis oculi muscles are relaxed. Botulinum toxin immobilizes muscle fibers for some time, so facial expressions are less active. As a result, facial wrinkles may completely smooth out or cease to be so noticeable;
• Mesotherapy. During this procedure, the specialist introduces a drug that may contain collagen, peptides or hyaluronic acid. They can improve the tone and turgor of the skin, remove puffiness, pastiness of the skin, dark circles formed under the eyes;
• Lymphatic drainage. This procedure is effective and pleasant. When it is performed, the skin of the face is exposed to pulses of different frequencies. This is done very easily and gently. The result is that more elastin and collagen are produced, lymphatic drainage is carried out, blood circulation returns to normal, facial muscles are restored, they become toned;

• Ultrasonic lifting. Here, using a special apparatus, the skin is exposed to ultrasound. Moreover, their effect falls on the deep layers of the dermis. Lifting also has a positive effect on the connective-muscular structure of the SMAS. Namely, it plays the role of a frame for the face. As a woman gets older, this feature will no longer function as well, so the facial contour may become blurred. When ultrasound affects the dermis, its deep layers, the fat cells are reduced and the collagen fibers are compressed. Therefore, the skin of the face is tightened. If we talk about an alternative to surgical lifting, then this method is considered the safest. There is no recovery period and no risks.

Many have also heard about ultrasonic facial cleansing. It makes our skin more even, smooth, beautiful, but can also remove expression lines around the eyes. At the same time, many experts recommend undergoing it so that the skin can regenerate, recover and look much fresher. It is worth recalling that ultrasonic facial cleansing is a painless procedure and is carried out quickly and easily. And, most importantly, everything is absolutely safe for humans and their health.

Mesotherapy is aimed at improving blood supply and skin turgor, stimulating its renewal, normalizing the functioning of the sebaceous glands, eliminating pigmentation and dyschromia, giving the face a radiant, healthy appearance.

• Microcurrent therapy is aimed at stimulating natural regeneration processes, as well as skin tone and facial muscle system. It is used to prevent and combat age-related changes as an isolated method, as well as in combination with active drugs that perfectly penetrate deep into the dermis under the influence of microcurrents. Very effectively fights sagging, increases turgor, tone and elasticity of the skin and soft tissues of the face, normalizes sebum secretion, improves metabolism and blood circulation, and returns a healthy, radiant color.

• Peelings are preparations that stimulate the renewal of the surface layers of the skin, eliminate fine lines of wrinkles, narrow pores and even out the surface of the skin, which becomes smooth, even, radiant due to the exfoliation of the surface layers of the epidermis.

Advantages of the above methods:

• Outpatient procedures that take a short period of time
• They maintain youth and slow down the appearance of signs of aging, i.e. carry out prevention and delay the need for more active intervention for 5-7 years

HOW TO REMOVE WRINKLES UNDER THE EYES USING THREADS

A facelift using absorbable or non-absorbable threads is one of the modern achievements of cosmetology in the rejuvenation industry. These methods are suitable for those who are not satisfied with the reflection in the mirror, age-related changes have already begun to actively manifest themselves, but there are not yet sufficient indications for surgical operations or the patients are not psychologically ready for them.

In such cases, under local (or general anesthesia - if desired), threads are placed, with the help of which the quality of the skin is improved, and a lift is also performed - moving the sagging soft tissues of the face up and fixing them in the correct position. In most cases, implantation takes 40 to 60 minutes. The recovery period is limited to 2 weeks, and the effect lasts for 2-3 years.

The most popular, which have repeatedly proven their safety and effectiveness, are the absorbable Mesothreads, Siluet Soft, as well as non-absorbable ones: Tissulift, Siluet Lift, Spring Thread and golden threads.

The following are considered indications for face lift with threads:

• drooping and asymmetry of the eyebrows;
• flattening of the cheekbones;
• deep nasolabial grooves;
• drooping cheeks;
• loss of clarity of the oval of the face;
• the appearance of jowls.

HOW TO REMOVE WRINKLES UNDER THE EYES REVIEWS

“I don’t even hide the fact that a facelift with mesothreads is my first serious cosmetic procedure. It always seemed to me that I looked good enough for my age, but when, compared to my friends, I began to “give up,” I had to think about it. I definitely wouldn’t agree to plastic surgery; I’ve been too afraid of anesthesia and any intervention since childhood. Therefore, my friend suggested that I perform a lift with mesothreads at the Abrielle clinic. Olga, 42 years old.

Why do wrinkles appear under the eyes?

The causes of wrinkles and premature aging of the skin around the eyes lie, first of all, in the peculiarities of its structure. In the periorbital region there are almost no sebaceous glands, there is practically no subcutaneous fatty tissue, and the epidermis itself in the paraorbital region consists of fewer rows of cells, which causes early age-related changes in this zone.

Another important factor is the high facial load of the area around the eyes: in a day alone we blink from 40 to 100 thousand times, and we also smile, cry, squint from bright light and the computer screen. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that the first expression wrinkles around the eyes appear at a fairly young age, and after 30 years and older, the signs of aging only become more noticeable.

HOW TO REMOVE WRINKLES UNDER THE EYES USING FRACTIONAL REJUVENATION

Laser rejuvenation is a technology that any self-respecting aesthetic medicine clinic cannot do without. This is one of the best, safest and most reliable ways to rejuvenate the skin.

The technique is based on the ability of a laser beam to cause a pinpoint burn, the strength of which can be easily dosed. Depending on the objectives, laser damage can be localized at the level of the superficial layers of the skin, and in the presence of pronounced age-related changes, it can penetrate deep into the dermis. This effect activates the mechanisms of regeneration and protection from damage inherent in us: pinpoint punctures in the basement membrane - the basis of the epidermis - shrink, “collapse” - causing retraction (skin contraction) and a decrease in pore size, young epidermal cells begin to actively divide, renewing its surface layers . Fibroblasts “wake up” in the dermis and quickly begin to produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, starting the process of renewal of the middle layer of the skin.

There are two types of laser rejuvenation based on the type of laser beam exposure to the skin: fractional photothermolysis and laser resurfacing. When performing fractional rejuvenation, the laser beam causes pinpoint damage in the form of a very fine mesh, in which microburns alternate with areas of healthy skin. Due to this, restoration of integrity occurs very quickly - 5-7 days, and complete restoration of the structure - in 1.5-2 months. This procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis, under local, topical anesthesia. Fractional photothermolysis allows you to renew 20-25% of the skin at a time. For complete rejuvenation of the face and neck, and depending on the stage of age-related changes, it is necessary to perform 3-4 procedures in a row with an interval of 1.5-2 months from September to April, and then 1 repetition per year is enough to maintain a youthful appearance.

Laser resurfacing is a more aggressive procedure; it is performed only under anesthesia, and the entire surface of the skin is completely “burned” to the border of the epidermis and dermis. Recovery takes about 3-4 weeks, but the rejuvenating effect achieved in one procedure is very significant, comparable only to a surgical facelift.

The advantages of laser skin rejuvenation are that it is effective both in younger patients aged 35-37 years, and in those older than, together with and instead of a facelift:

• natural rejuvenation process;
• high efficiency of the method;
• quick visible results;
• elasticity, turgor and firmness are restored;
• wrinkles are smoothed out;
• pores narrow;
• an optically smooth surface is created - the skin texture becomes smooth
• blood supply improves;
• pigment spots and dyschromia disappear. Overall, the skin brightens and becomes uniform;
• acne scars are eliminated or become less noticeable;
• the complexion becomes smooth, fresh, beautiful, radiant.

HOW TO REMOVE WRINKLES UNDER THE EYES WITH BLEPHAROPLASTY

Plastic surgery on the lower eyelids is the most complex and delicate. Indications for them are the presence of excess skin, a network of fine wrinkles, bags, bruises under the eyes, which completely disappear after surgery, while fatty hernias are removed (with classic blepharoplasty) or redistributed along the lower edge of the orbit to fill the deep nasolacrimal groove (with fat-sparing).

In cases where, due to the peculiarities of the anatomy of the face, hernias under the eyes have already appeared and are frustrating with their persistence, but there is no excess skin yet, blepharoplasty is performed transconjunctivally, through an incision along the inner surface of the lower eyelid, and no traces of such an operation remain at all.

Typically, the operation lasts from 40 minutes to one and a half hours.

Thanks to the exquisite subtlety of the intervention, the rehabilitation period after removing wrinkles under the eyes using blepharoplasty is, in most cases, quite short and amounts to no more than two weeks. After it, the bruises and swelling will go away, and a thin pink arrow covered by the eyelash line will indicate the operation. Gradually, the cosmetic seam on the lower eyelid will turn pale and after 3 to 6 months it will imitate a skin fold.

Benefits of blepharoplasty:

• pronounced rejuvenating effect - the operation allows not only to remove wrinkles under the eyes, but also to restore the former expressiveness, openness and radiance of the eyes.
• relative simplicity of surgical intervention;
• short duration of blepharoplasty;
• low morbidity;
• short recovery period;
• stability of the result, which will please you for the next 10-15 years or more.

The rejuvenating effect of blepharoplasty is enhanced by its combination with lipofilling and fractional rejuvenation.

HOW TO REMOVE WRINKLES UNDER THE EYES USING LIPOFILLING OF THE PERIORBITAL AREA

As we grow older, most of us lose weight in our faces, following our own patterns: the temples and sub-eyebrow area sag - this makes the eyes seem sunken and deep; deep nasolabial and nasolacrimal furrows and bruises appear - to blackness - around the eyes, cheekbones decrease - especially the anterior projection, cheekbones, lips, etc. Naturally, the skin, which has already partially lost its elasticity, cannot shrink completely; as a result, false excesses appear. This is expressed in a network of fine and deep wrinkles under the eyes, skin folds with reduced turgor, which can no longer be removed by therapeutic procedures.

All these changes occur gradually, imperceptibly, but gradually accumulating, giving the face a constantly tired, tired, dull appearance.

An operation such as facial lipofilling, during which the lost volume of the face is replenished with the patient’s own fat, can completely correct these imperfections and remove wrinkles under the eyes

Facial lipofilling causes lasting facial rejuvenation for two reasons.

1. With the introduction of adipose tissue, the fullness and smooth lines of the facial contours characteristic of youth are restored. The skin is tightened, and small wrinkles smooth out and disappear.
2. Stem cells of adipose tissue after transplantation activate regeneration processes, which contribute to skin rejuvenation, improvement of its properties, disappearance of age spots, etc.

Benefits of lipofilling:

• volumetric facial rejuvenation, based on the natural regeneration processes inherent in our body by nature;
• using your own adipose tissue minimizes the risk of allergies and rejection;
• low invasiveness of lipofilling;
• short duration of the operation;
• short rehabilitation period;
• no traces of the operation;
• After the fat engrafts in a new place, a lasting result is ensured for 5 – 7 years.

Skin care

The basic rules of skin care at home to maintain facial beauty are regularity and an individual approach. Typically, a cosmetologist prescribes products based on the following stages:

1. Cleansing. Abrasive compounds are used to exfoliate dead cells. To remove excess sebum and impurities - soft and effective washing gels.
2. Moisturizing and nourishing the skin, antioxidant care. Serums from cosmeceutical brands are good for these purposes.
3. Closing cream. Selected according to skin type and helps protect it throughout the day.
4. Sun protection. Here the products can be very different - from creams to mineral powder. The main point is that the SPF level should be at least 30 (ideally 50).

You can periodically make moisturizing masks as prescribed by a cosmetologist.

Each age and skin condition has its own set of skin care products. Only a cosmetologist can prescribe the correct combination of cleansing + moisturizing + protection.

It is important to avoid mechanical stretching of the skin so as not to increase wrinkles. And in the area around the eyes, excessive friction can even cause the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.

It is also important not to touch your face with dirty hands. Wipe your glasses and smartphone regularly to avoid the growth of bacteria and inflammation.

HOW TO REMOVE WRINKLES UNDER THE EYES WITH A FACE LIFT

Unfortunately, time is inexorable. And if at first it quietly, very carefully, like a kitten’s soft paw, touches the face and instantly “rebounds” for a long time when performing any procedures, then gradually the intervention over the years becomes more significant, noticeable, aggressive, short-lived and poorly responsive to cosmetic and minimally invasive procedures. Suddenly, looking in the mirror, we notice that the skin of the face has become flabby, thinned, sagged forlornly, the facial features have blurred, drooped, the former clarity of the contours and the “sharpness” of the chin have been lost, while the whole picture is notably decorated with an abundance of small, annoying wrinkles. It becomes clear: the question of “ how to remove wrinkles under the eyes ” and restore and prolong youth can only be resolved with the help of a surgical facelift.

Facelift is necessary to eliminate excess skin and strengthen the muscular-aponeurotic system of the face in order to turn back time. This eliminates not only wrinkles and sagging soft tissues of the cheeks and chin, but also improves the oval of the face, and the contour of the neck becomes beautiful again. And all surgical incisions in order to remove wrinkles under the eyes will be made by an experienced surgeon in places of natural folds and behind the hairline in order to hide them from prying eyes. To date, this is the most radical operation to combat old age.

Benefits of a facelift:

• stable, long-term results for 10-15 years or more;
• pronounced effect of rejuvenation with significant age-related changes;
• compatibility with most cosmetic surgeries and procedures.

Moreover, today, facial skin tightening will not be performed in isolation. According to modern plastic surgery standards, youth is not only the absence of excess skin, wrinkles and folds. Youth is characterized by smooth, rounded, full contours and beautiful, radiant skin, and, therefore, you cannot do without lipofilling and laser rejuvenation.
