Causes: Unlike "crow's feet", the loss of tonus is accompanied not only by wrinkles, but also by the general friability of the skin, and is usually associated with age-related changes.
Methods of solution: If it is too early to go for an operation on blepharoplasty or if there are obvious contraindications for it, then biorevitalization will come to the rescue . The procedure is a microinjection of unmodified (not subjected to any chemical changes) high-molecular hyaluronic acid.
Biorevitalization promotes the retention of a sufficiently large amount of moisture in the tissues, which improves the relief of the skin, removes wrinkles, increases the turgor and, at the same time, increases the synthesis of its own GC and collagen. The procedure effectively slows down aging, and is recommended for prevention of age-related changes, starting from 25-30 years.
Chemical peels based on trichloroacetic, salicylic or AHA acids promote skin rejuvenation and renewal, smooth wrinkles and smooth out the relief. For the area around the eyes, middle peels are most suitable (surface ones do not give the desired result, and deep ones are too aggressive).
Unfortunately, peelings have a number of drawbacks: in order to achieve visible rejuvenation, their entire course (6-8 sessions with an interval of 2-3 weeks) will be required, in addition, even a highly skilled cosmetologist can not always calculate the degree of penetration of a chemical solution into the skin. Sometimes this leads to persistent depigmentation (the effect of white circles around the eyes).
Microcurrent therapy is another way to bring back the skin to youth and beauty. The procedure is the effect on the skin of the modulated pulses of electric current of small amplitude. Microcurrents act as a charge on the skin, subcutaneous fatty tissue, muscles, blood and lymphatic systems. Skin regeneration occurs due to optimization of internal work of cells, improvement of metabolism of enzymes, acceleration of synthesis of amino acids, proteins and lipids. At the same time, the products of metabolism and toxins are removed from the skin, muscle spasms are removed, and lymph drainage is intensified.
Fractional thermolysis is a relatively new and very effective way to combat unfavorable skin changes. Unlike other laser techniques, fractional thermolysis does not lead to the creation of an extensive wound surface, but operates according to the principle of perforation: in one flash the laser "pierces" 250-500 micrometer (laser micropieces) on the skin. Around each of them remain unaffected areas, and caused by laser pulses damage, give a push to restore the structure of the skin along the entire treated surface.
With it, you can remove wrinkles in the sensitive and delicate eye area, stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, renew the epidermis and dermis. Moreover, the patient can go to work as early as the next day after the procedure (the skin does not crust and does not swell).
The whole course of skin rejuvenation consists of 3-6 procedures, which are carried out with an interval of 3-4 weeks. Often fractional thermolysis is prescribed after plastic surgery, which significantly shortens the terms of rehabilitation ?.
To improve skin tone, reduce remaining small wrinkles and accelerate the disappearance of traces after surgery (removal of postoperative scars).
