The skin around the eyes is almost completely free of subcutaneous fat, so the signs of age-related changes in this area appear at a relatively young age, after 25 years.
Over time, the signs of aging of the skin of the periorbital area progress, become more evident and cannot be corrected by "light" cosmetic procedures, therefore specialists in beauty salons and cosmetic surgery clinics offer clients laser rejuvenation procedures for the eyelids and skin around the eyes, which include fractional skin resurfacing and laser blepharoplasty.
In 75% of all cases of laser application, the beautician eliminates wrinkles, bags under the eyes, firms the contours of the face. The laser skin rejuvenation procedure around the eyes has its pros and cons, it can only be entrusted to a professional.
Features of aging and professional eyelid skin care
Aging of the skin around the eyes is caused by a number of external and internal factors, including the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, the use of low-quality cosmetics, regular stress, lack of sleep, lack of vitamins in the body, the increase in dynamism of the periorbital area of the face and disruption of the endocrine system (hormones stimulate the work of the main structural elements of the epidermis and dermis). Due to the special anatomical structure of the skin (small thickness and lack of hypodermis) and a number of reasons mentioned above, the first signs of aging of the eyelid skin, which include mimic wrinkles, elastosis, "bags" and dark circles under the eyes, appear early, so this area of the face needs professional cosmetic care.
Today, rejuvenation procedures based on the use of laser radiation - fractional resurfacing and laser blepharoplasty - are particularly popular with beauty salon clients.
Fractional rejuvenation
The fractional laser rejuvenation (polishing) technique of the skin around the eyes is indicated for people under the age of 45. The method is based on the treatment of the skin with intense laser radiation, which accelerates the renewal of the epidermis and warms the skin, which contributes to the activation of the self-regeneration processes of the dermis.
Laser blepharoplasty
Laser blepharoplasty is a more radical method of eyelid rejuvenation, indicated for patients after 45-50 years of age. It is a plastic surgery, during which the doctor surgically removes the excess skin around the eyes and restores an attractive appearance to the periorbital area.
The laser is used like a knife during the operation, which makes plastic surgery safer (compared to other types of blepharoplasty) and minimizes the risk of postoperative complications.
Experts do not talk about which laser eyelid skin firming method can be called the best, because each technique has characteristics and advantages, therefore, at the first signs of aging of the periorbital area, it is necessary to contact a qualified cosmetologist who, on the basis of a investigation and an external analysis of the involutional changes in the dermis will prescribe the most suitable aesthetic procedure for the patient.
