It is delicate, prone to damage and exposed to the formation of wrinkles. We are speaking, of course, about the skin around the eyes. This part of the face is ageing the fastest and unfortunately, it is the most difficult to improve its condition. However, there are effective ways to prevent the ageing process and reduce imperfections.
Ageing of the skin around the eyes – causes
Many factors affect the ageing of the skin around the eyes. The appearance of imperfections is additionally contributed by the fact that the skin is delicate, thin and prone to irritation. Factors that cause wrinkles, dark circles and swelling include:
- sunlight,
- improper diet, lifestyle and lack of adequate sleep,
- working in front of a computer screen or in artificial light,
- environmental pollution,
- free radicals,
- badly selected cosmetics.
Wrinkles
These appear already after 25 years of age. They arise as a result of excessive facial expressions and are classified as dynamic wrinkles; over time, they transform into static wrinkles, more difficult to remove. Mimic wrinkles are: crow’s feet, lion’s wrinkle, horizontal lines on the forehead, so-called smoker’s lips, puppet wrinkles, so-called, hamster bags. The best treatments that will smooth or reduce them are: botox, needle mesotherapy, medical peeling, hyaluronic acid.
Dark circles under the eyes
They arise as a result of allergies, poor diet or as a result of genetic determinants. What are dark circles under the eyes? It’s just blood vessels and an ocular circular muscle in a red colour that shows through thin skin. If you want to get rid of dark circles, you need to strengthen and thicken the skin in this part of the face. The best treatments that will help you achieve this effect will be: mesotherapy, CO2 fractional laser, medical peels.
Puffiness under the eyes
They appear when the tension of the skin and ocular muscle drops, and the skin under the lower eyelid becomes sagging. The reason for their formation is also inappropriate diet and stimulants (smoking cigarettes, alcohol consumption) and hypothyroidism, allergy, dehydration. To get rid of them, try: mesotherapy, medical peels, CO2 laser or eyelid plastics.
Discolourations of the skin
They most often arise under the influence of solar radiation, take on a variety of shapes and colours. They become visible as a result of overproduction of melanin, a pigment responsible for the skin tone. Helpful treatments to unify skin colour will include medical peels and injection mesotherapy.
Drooping eyelids and eyebrows
Drooping is a defect that arises as a result of the loss of fatty tissue around the forehead and eyes and as a result of skin and muscle sagging. To improve the shape of the eyebrow, it is recommended to inject botulinum toxin into the skin. The drooping upper eyelids are a condition that appears with age. The skin loses its firmness, reduces the amount of collagen, and the muscles lose the right tension. Did you know that these changes can cause difficulties in seeing? Only eyelid surgery can help this condition.
