How to get rid of wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes

Hello, my dear readers! Not long ago I talked about the reasons for the appearance of dark circles under the eyes of women. I think you'll agree that ugly dark circles are not worth putting up with. And today we’ll talk about what cosmetic procedures are available to help get rid of these “companions.” I have selected the TOP 6 ways to remove dark circles under the eyes - cosmetology will help us with this.

Features of the structure of the periorbital region

The skin around the eyes is very delicate. There is no subcutaneous fat here. And besides, the periorbital zone is saturated with blood vessels. Because of this, all processes occurring in this area accelerate and our skin fades faster.

Now there are many options for effective methods to improve skin turgor and restore natural skin color. There are simple ones, such as injection fortification. And in some cases, only blepharoplasty or lipofilling can help.

How to remove dark circles under eyes cosmetology

I present to you the TOP 6 most effective cosmetic procedures in the fight against dark circles:

1. Fillers
2. Microcurrent therapy (biostimulation)
3. Mesotherapy
4. Biorevitalization and bioreparation of eyelids
5. Blepharoplasty
6. Lipofilling

I'll start with the most effective cosmetic procedures. At the end, I’ll talk about surgical options (for the most serious problems).

Any type of procedure that will change your appearance needs to be seriously considered. This should not be a spontaneous wish or you were lured by discounts. Always consult only with medically trained and licensed cosmetic clinics. Those who say what they do in a beauty salon do not believe them. There will be no guarantee against side effects.

ARTICLES ON THE TOPIC:

Fillers

They are the most proven remedy for aesthetic problems of the nasolacrimal groove (bruises under the eyes or dark circles). I put them first because of a number of advantages compared to other methods:

1. The whole procedure takes no more than 15-20 minutes;
2. good tolerance - no incisions, bandages or restrictions on actions;
3. minimum risk of an allergic reaction or post-traumatic consequences;
4. the effect lasts up to 12 months.

The most commonly used fillers are hyaluronic acid, which is a natural component in the human body.

The result is visible almost immediately. After the injection, the skin thickens, its elasticity is restored, and the cyanosis under the eyes is eliminated. The look becomes as before - young and fresh. You definitely won't need foundation the next day 🙂

I have read many forums where the formation of bruises after fillers is discussed. The only conclusion I made was that many “unfortunate cosmetologists” do not have experience in atraumatic plastic surgery techniques. Such consequences are not the norm. Choose only a licensed clinic with experienced doctors.

Mesotherapy

During this procedure, general rejuvenation occurs. An individually selected mixture of drugs and vitamins is injected into the middle layers of the skin. The most commonly used meso-cocktails are those containing phytic, kojic and ascorbic acids, as well as arbutin.

There are two types of mesotherapy: injection method (using microneedles) and non-injection method (using a mesoroller). During the procedure, the skin is saturated with oxygen and other active substances. Mesotherapy allows you to restore the skin's smoothness and elasticity, almost like a baby's.

But only with comprehensive adherence to proper nutrition + drinking regime + daily routine. Then this procedure actually affects the eyelid area.

Advantages of this procedure:

1. good tolerance;
2. short rehabilitation period;
3. lack of seasonality, etc.

The course consists of 6 and sometimes 10 procedures at weekly intervals. The result lasts from 3 to 6 months.

I can give my feedback on this method. Only I made meso-cocktails to remove eyebrow wrinkles. About 2 years ago I got it and never went away. It began to appear not only with facial expressions. I decided to seek help from a cosmetologist. After 5 procedures, the wrinkles smoothed out, and traces of post-acne on the skin disappeared. Now pah-pah doesn’t appear yet.

Microcurrent therapy (biostimulation)

This is an absolutely painless method of dealing with dark circles under the eyes. During this procedure, low-frequency electric currents are used. They allow the cell to create normal cellular electrical activity. The strength of the electrical current used is so low that the cells are not damaged. Under the influence of electric currents, blood circulation increases and the skin regeneration process accelerates.

Benefits of microcurrent therapy:

1. has a detoxifying and anti-inflammatory effect;
2. normalization of the sebaceous glands.

The treatment course can consist of 10 or 15 procedures, between which a break of several days is necessary. To maintain the effect, maintenance biostimulation should be performed once a month.

But after carefully studying the reviews, I realized that the desired result may not come. Alas, sometimes the effect is too weakly expressed. Therefore, do not hope for a miracle! It only helps if the problem is mild.

Biorevitalization and bioreparation of eyelids

This is a procedure aimed at revitalizing and restoring the skin. Injections are made at certain points: in the corners of the eyes, on the eyelids, under the eyes, etc. But it won’t solve the problem on its own. Only again in a complex - nutrition + drinking regime + good sleep.

Biorevitalizants contain only low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. But bioremediation agents have a more complex composition:

Thanks to such a rich composition, bioreparants help solve several aesthetic problems at the same time. They stay in the skin longer than low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. They trigger the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers. In essence, bioreparation is the same mesotherapy that I described above.

An intensive course consists of 3 or even 6 procedures, each of which is performed once a week. Then 2 procedures are carried out with an interval of 2 weeks. Maintenance injections should be given every 3 months. With this approach, the result will last for 1.5-2 years.

Blepharoplasty

In fact, this is already a serious plastic surgery, during which the shape of the eyelids and the shape of the eyes are changed. But along with the classical plastic approach, a non-surgical technique is also used - laser blepharoplasty of the eyelids. This procedure is performed using a high-frequency surgical laser.

Advantages of laser blepharoplasty:

1. no scars remain;
2. short recovery period;
3. bleeding and infectious complications are excluded (as with any surgical intervention).

If you follow medical recommendations, the result will be visible for more than 5 years. After such a procedure, it is important to use specialized cosmetics.

Lipofilling

The essence of this surgical procedure is that fatty tissue is injected into the area of ​​the lower and upper eyelids with a special syringe. Subcutaneous fat tissue is taken from those parts of the patient's body where it is present in excess. This could be the buttocks, thighs, stomach, etc.

These “fat” injections lift and tighten the eyelids, helping to get rid of those nasty dark circles. The advantages of lipofilling of the upper and lower eyelids are painlessness and a short rehabilitation period.

Alas, some percentage of adipose tissue is absorbed over time. Sometimes this percentage is very large, which is why it is not possible to achieve the desired result. Moreover, this is a surgical procedure and not a cosmetic procedure.

In cosmetology, an analogue of lipofilling is contouring with fillers. Instead of fat, fillers based on hyaluronic acid are injected. Read about this method above.

Questionable methods

Mesothreads

This is one of the newest rejuvenation technologies. At different levels, thin needles are inserted under the skin, with mesothreads (threads) stretched inside them. They are made from polydioxanone, a self-absorbable suture material. The inserted needles are removed, but the mesothreads remain under the skin.

After about six months, these threads disintegrate into substances that are safe for the body. In their place there remains a seal that keeps the skin from sagging. In addition, mesothreads stimulate collagen production.

But they do not eliminate bruises and will not be able to tighten the skin under the eyes. Even Aptos threads, which are introduced locally into the desired area for lifting, will not cope with this. By the way, if you are offered a thread eyelid lift, know that these are also mesothreads (or Aptos threads).

Laser peeling

During this procedure, the top layer of skin is removed, which helps rejuvenate the area. But dark circles under the eyes are not removed with this procedure. Yes, it will smooth out wrinkles and renew your skin, but don’t count on more.

Carboxytherapy for eyelids

With this method, CO2 (carbon dioxide) is injected under the skin. As they write, blood and lymph circulation is stimulated, which makes it possible to activate metabolic processes in the tissue. And it is quite possible that the formation of collagen and other active substances occurs more intensively.

As I was told at the Arbat Aesthetic clinic, such a procedure is a stupid scam for money. In the fight against bruises and circles, carboxytherapy is like a “plaster against corns on the sole.” Yes, there is a general therapeutic effect from the method. But if you keep grinding for a whole year, then maybe there will be something in the end. And no one from adequate cosmetic clinics does this procedure.

Conclusion and tips

Naturally, each method is effective in a specific situation. And for the results to last for a long time, you need a healthy diet and proper eyelid skin care. Any cosmetologist and doctor will tell you that daily care is necessary. Therefore, we use professional cosmetics and maintain muscle tone.

Now you have seen that there are many cosmetic ways to remove dark circles and dark circles under the eyes. Therefore, choose a professional clinic and consult with specialists.

Just remember that any medical procedures must be licensed! Especially if it is associated with effects on the skin (injections or hardware techniques). And doctors must have the appropriate education. A familiar cosmetologist at home who has completed an accelerated course in cosmetology can apply a mask to your face. But only a doctor can inject needles or perform procedures using any device.

Reasons for the appearance of folds

Every girl wonders why wrinkles appear under the eyes? This does not always mean aging skin. A person may be more susceptible to wrinkles for a number of reasons:

1. Smoking and alcohol abuse contribute to the evaporation of collagen, resulting in the formation of voids and folds under the skin;
2. Active people are more susceptible to wrinkles. Smile marks, crow's feet when smiling - this is a normal process, for the most part they add charm. In addition, physiognomy claims that people with early signs of happiness live longer;
3. Inappropriate care: forgetting to remove makeup before bed, not using night cream, washing with plain soap.

If depressions suddenly appear, it makes sense to think that a network of wrinkles may indicate diseases of some internal organ.

For peeling, removing eye wrinkles, dryness and dark circles, mix one or two drops of honey with 2-3 drops of fresh lemon juice, this recipe was recommended by the women's forum. Apply the mixture to the area under the eyes for 15-20 minutes. To prevent the appearance of wrinkles on dark skin, you need to use tomato juice.

Coconut and almond oil - This is more of a preventive measure than a method of serious treatment. Before going to bed, apply a little warm coconut oil to the skin around the eyes, mouth, forehead, neck and other areas where the dermis is sagging and aging. Thanks to the huge amount of antioxidants in the product, the ether will quickly eliminate wrinkles and give the face a pleasant color and aroma.

With these products you need to do massages regularly; we recommend fighting wrinkles twice a day. They are also used in micro-gymnastics to warm up the surface of the epidermis and accelerate the penetration of beneficial substances inside.

Professional medicine

Many women find it inconvenient to use traditional recipes every day; for them it is easier to either buy ready-made self-care products or periodically attend rejuvenation sessions. The most effective ways to eliminate wrinkles under the eyes are:

1. Mesotherapy treatment;
2. Injections;
3. Laser resurfacing;
4. Plastic surgery operations.

Mesotherapy – this is an impact on a certain area using a special roller with spikes or a smooth structure. A composition is applied to the surface of the massager, often vitamins, hyaluronic acid, and active serums. The price of the procedure is very reasonable, but repeated sessions cannot be avoided. The beauty salon will offer corrections once a month.

Injections are the most effective, safer than surgery, and have good reviews. With their help, a special substance is introduced under the dermis to a certain depth, which is necessary to fill empty spaces. Which previously housed collagen. The disadvantage of the technique is that it is necessary to periodically renew the amount of substance in the folds, there is a high probability of allergies, and the injection sites look ugly. Most often, Restylane, hyaluronic acid, Botox, Dysport, vitamins A and B are used for injections against wrinkles under the eyes; after the session, a special anti-wrinkle cream must be applied.

Laser resurfacing and photorejuvenation – these are quite expensive procedures, but very effective. Most often, the result lasts for 5-10 years, depending on the initial state of the dermis and the lifestyle of its owner. These techniques effectively eliminate both the first expression wrinkles near the eyes and laugh lines in the corner of the mouth and nasolabial area, and age spots. Afterwards, you can’t do makeup, use natural abrasive scrubs, or sunbathe for two weeks.

Many girls after plastic surgery are satisfied with the result until they are 20 years old. This is the most radical method; when using it, the doctor surgically tightens the sagging dermis. Aesthetic cosmetology does not recommend using this method to eliminate several early wrinkles. Plastic surgery is appropriate for serious abnormalities when other methods do not provide the desired effect. The cost of an eye session in small cities such as Volgograd, Ufa, Ryazan will be about 8,000 rubles, in large cities - Moscow, St. Petersburg, Minsk - up to 10,000.

Hardware techniques corrections are more popular, although they require longer recovery and more contraindications. It is advisable to begin restoring the condition of the dermis at the age of 25 years. Also, before getting rid of wrinkles under the eyes in this way, it is advisable to undergo a diagnosis of the body. Surgical intervention is not prescribed for nearby vessels and oncology.

General recommendations

Any of the methods listed will not be effective if you do not follow the recommendations of specialists. Tips from cosmetologists on how to prevent the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes:

1. Take eye vitamins to keep your skin smooth and elastic. You can use the company Aevit, Vita Mama, Pregnavit, Pregnakea and others;
2. Always remove makeup at night;
3. It is very important that cosmetics are of high quality and natural;
4. The reasons for the appearance of wrinkles may lie in the genetic code, the state of the body, and nutrition. Review your body's tendencies;
5. During the first time after surgery, control your facial muscles when smiling; this plays a key role in the effectiveness of wrinkle treatment.

The condition of the area around the eyes can either make or break the overall appearance of your face. This is where the first signs of skin aging usually appear. Cosmetologists joke that modern thirty-year-olds can be distinguished from twenty-year-olds only by the presence of “crow’s feet” in the corners of their eyes.

Dark circles under the eyes, or the myth of lack of sleep

Most people suffering from chronically dark circles under their eyes are convinced that it is all due to poor lifestyle choices. We are accustomed to believing that there is a direct relationship between dark circles under the eyes and lack of sleep. However, you have probably met those who sleep little, but have not encountered this problem.

You shouldn’t blame yourself for having a couple of cocktails at the bar or working in front of the computer late into the night. Dark circles under the eyes do not appear as a result of some incorrect daily routine, nor do they disappear, as if by magic, if you sleep for at least 8 hours, avoid parties and computers.

To understand what actually causes dark circles under the eyes, we will have to use purely medical terms.

Where does everything come from?

The cause of dark circles under the eyes is similar to how similar cosmetic defects appear on any other part of the body. With the difference that bruises on the body are a consequence of a contusion, and circles under the eyes appear due to much weaker injuries. But the essence is the same: bruises appear where the capillaries are damaged or weakened (by nature or due to disease).

The capillaries of the skin under the eyes are so fragile that they can be damaged even by what they are designed for - blood flow. In this case, blood cells manage to migrate outside the capillaries, which gives the effect of bruises under the eyes. The process is especially noticeable in those with thin epidermis: capillaries, as well as the consequences of their damage, tiny hemorrhages, are visible through the skin under the eyes. The more transparent the skin in this area, the worse the cosmetic effect.

Why do some people's capillaries fail to fulfill their main purpose?

1. You can’t argue with genetics: if your mom and dad gave you weak blood vessels, you’ll either have to seriously deal with this problem (which, by the way, goes beyond the scope of the article), or come to terms with the “gift” of your ancestors.
2. Addiction to nicotine and alcohol has a negative effect on capillaries. After a party with libations, capillaries (and therefore circles under the eyes) become more noticeable.
3. For many women, the periodic appearance of dark circles under the eyes is associated with their cycle. As a rule, the closer it begins, the more difficult it is for the capillaries and the stronger the shadows lie under the eyes.
4. Those who like to sunbathe should remember: ultraviolet radiation destroys the matter of capillaries.

Didn't find yourself on the list? You can lead a righteous lifestyle, have excellent health and... still the reason for frustration will not go away. Bruises under the eyes can be caused by increased pigmentation of the skin of the lower eyelids, and can also be determined by the structure of the orbit and the shape of the eyelid.

Now for the good news: there are many ways to get rid of under-eye circles.

An experienced cosmetologist will definitely tell you what the cause of your bruises is. Most likely, he will advise giving up bad habits (including the love of tanning), and recommend products to strengthen and tighten the skin around the eyes. But there are also more radical methods: injection cosmetology can offer “panda” girls very, very much.

“Bruises under the eyes and the initial retraction of the eye orbit can be eliminated by injection,” says cosmetologist Vitaly Osminkin.

According to the specialist, the filler is painlessly injected near the eye orbit, as a result of which microcirculation improves. Due to the destructuring vitamin complex, the darkness under the eyes disappears, and the retraction of the orbits - due to the correct distribution of the drug. The result of this procedure lasts from 1 to 1.5 years.

What about creams? It would be wrong to say that they are ineffective in combating the problem, but they are certainly an aid. To choose a suitable cream, you need to carefully read the composition in search of certain substances.

Everything can be hidden!

Properly done makeup will not allow others to know about the existence of bruises under the eyes. Why is it that not everyone manages to hide this cosmetic flaw? Selecting cosmetics for the area around the eyes is a painstaking task, the intricacies of which not everyone is privy to. Even experienced beauty consultants cannot always give correct advice on the shade of concealers and correctors; sometimes the lighting in the store can also be misleading.

When it comes to application method, Bobbie is adamant that you need a small, thin brush to apply the concealer to the darkest, deepest areas. So, if a store consultant advises purchasing a brush in addition to concealer, this is not done out of a desire to force the customer to spend more money.

Bobby Brown also believes that after applying the concealer, it is advisable to set it with a thin layer of translucent powder for durability. The question, of course, arises whether the powder will dry out the skin, making makeup untidy and emphasizing wrinkles. “Concealer does not apply neatly and emphasizes wrinkles if the skin around the eyes is poorly moisturized, so be sure to use caring creams or gels as a base for makeup. But do not overdo it, otherwise the corrector will “float”. Moderation is important in everything,” says Jesse Powers, makeup artist for Make Up For Ever.

Jesse also breaks down the ins and outs of proper technique for applying under eye concealer:

Judging by the description, hiding bruises is almost a jewelry job. You don’t always have time for aerobatics, so in the morning rush you can use the recommendations of Taiba Jafri, international makeup director at Laura Mercier: the main thing is to avoid purple and gray shades in eye makeup, they only emphasize bruises. But golden shades of eye shadow will distract attention from cosmetic imperfections. You should not line the lower eyelid with a pencil, especially the inner part, as this also accentuates the circles under the eyes. And don’t forget about blush in a natural, delicate shade that will distract unnecessary attention.

Do bags plus swelling equal health problems?

There is a common belief that dark circles and bags under the eyes are similar problems in nature. But in reality this is not the case, and the causes of bags under the eyes are different from the causes of bruises.

“We must clearly separate two phenomena that are absolutely unrelated to each other, but often occur in the ensemble. Dark circles under the eyes are a violation of blood microcirculation, the loss of translucent, thin skin or, which is much less common, excessive accumulation of melanin (the latter occurs only in very dark and dark-skinned people). Bags under the eyes, puffiness (maybe “blue”) are often acquired in nature and are quite often associated with health problems,” says Vitaly Osminkin.

To understand how to deal with bags, it’s worth understanding a little about how exactly they arise. Between the skin around the eyes and the subcutaneous tissue there is a membrane consisting of connective tissue. Over time and under the influence of unfavorable factors, this tissue can become so thin that fatty tissue begins to penetrate through it, located directly under the skin and forming the hated bags. The resulting fatty tissue can grow or swell, making the bags very noticeable. In some people, the upper eyelids also become swollen. The reasons and “trigger mechanism” are the same as in the case of the lower eyelid.

Swelling and bags are a much more complex problem than dark circles under the eyes. If only because, before trying to get rid of them in a cosmetologist's office or purchasing creams, it is important to go to the doctor and find out if there are any health problems. Having passed this important stage, you can begin to think about how to get rid of the deficiency.

Where to put the bags?

After we found out that bags under the eyes and accompanying swelling are, in fact, small hernias, it would be logical to decide that only a plastic surgeon’s scalpel can help get rid of them. But that's not true.

“If the bags under the eyes are minor, a cosmetologist can deal with them using mesothreads or filler. The specialist will take into account your age, general tissue condition, lifestyle and the presence of concomitant acute and chronic diseases. If the bags are pronounced and the cosmetologist has doubts that it is possible to cope with invasive techniques, a competent doctor will first send the patient to a plastic surgeon for a consultation,” Vitaly Osminkin reassures those who are desperate and are immediately thinking about blepharoplasty.

Since swelling and bags are the result of health problems and poor lifestyle choices, their development can at least be stopped by seriously addressing the cause rather than the effect. For those who do not dare to face a needle and scalpel, cosmetic products that contain substances that improve the outflow of fluid through the lymphatic tract, for example, extracts of parsley, horsetail, sage, and caffeine, will help. Collagen, elastin and vitamin K will improve skin turgor, making it denser, which will prevent further protrusion of adipose tissue. In the warm season, you need to take care to protect the skin around the eyes from the sun, which thins the epidermis.

Alas, many people are familiar with all of the listed problems around the “mirror of the soul” firsthand. Perhaps among our readers there are those who can share effective advice themselves? We are very interested!
