The eye area is one of the most sensitive and vulnerable areas of the human face.
Skin thinness due to the influence of many internal and external factors leads to a rapid appearance of wrinkles and other signs of premature aging. Therefore, proper care of the skin around the eyes is extremely important; creams and lotions alone are indispensable.
Mesotherapy can come to the rescue, the technique is both safe and effective.
Performance Indications
First, it is necessary to understand the indications for mesotherapy around the eyes. The procedure can be used to eliminate the following manifestations:
- mimics wrinkles;
- swelling and dark circles under the eyes
- dry skin
- decrease in firmness and elasticity
- pale skin color.
It should be noted at once that mesotherapy may not be effective in all cases. Meso-cocktails can have a positive effect in solving existing problems if they occur due to:
- Lack of vitamins, nutrients and acids caused by malnutrition, ecology and other external factors
- natural aging processes leading to metabolic inhibition, cell renewal;
- changes caused by hormonal changes and physiological properties (for example, bags under the eyes due to hernia) cannot actually be corrected using this method.
What substances are used?
The delicate skin around the eyes is perhaps the only area of the human face for which special meso-cocktails are developed and used. In all other cases, the use of conventional, universal means is quite acceptable. Conventionally, these drugs (developed for the eyelid area and the skin under the eyes) can be divided into two categories.
Meso-cocktails designed to solve specific problems
A striking example of this type of medicine is the peptide cocktail for the skin around the eyes. The main active ingredient in such a composition is peptides - special proteins that have a beneficial effect on metabolic processes in the dermis, remove excess fluid and lead to a rapid renewal of skin cells. The injections are performed primarily to reduce swelling and remove circles under the eye.
Meso-cocktails designed to rejuvenate and generally improve the existing situation
Such meso-cocktails are used successfully to moisturize the skin, saturate it with useful components and also to eliminate moderately expressed facial wrinkles. The drugs can also be used as a prophylactic.
Main stages of the procedure
Mesotherapy for the eyelids and under the eyes is performed according to the classical principle of this type of procedure. The skin should be pre-cleansed and treated with an antiseptic to minimize the risk of inflammation. If your pain threshold allows you to avoid anesthesia, it is best to give it up.
Injections are only performed manually, there is no hardware method. This solution reduces the risk of damage to the skin and at the same time helps to achieve a more pronounced effect, as it allows you to act on the problem point by point.
When choosing a cosmetologist and clinic for the first time where the procedure will take place, carefully study patient reviews, because the end result depends largely on the professionalism of the specialist performing the injections. Remember, this moment is just as important as the way the drug is administered and its specific type.
To achieve a pronounced result, you usually need to visit approx. 5-7 sessions with breaks of approx. 10 days. In some cases, however, both more and fewer procedures may be required, all depending on the individual characteristics of the patient and the degree of complexity of the existing problem. A procedure lasts approx. 30 minutes, after which the patient can return to the daily rhythm of life.
Side effects and contraindications
Reviews of mesotherapy in the eyelid and eye area are extremely truthful, after the implementation, various side effects can often be observed. Of course, negative consequences can also be caused by a violation of the technique of introducing the composition, but they are mainly due to the structure of the skin, its thinness and a tendency to increased trauma.
Often the first hours after mesotherapy can be observed:
- edema, including a slight increase in the size of the bags under the eyes
- bruises
- redness;
- soreness and discomfort
- rive.
The negative aspects of mesotherapy include not only the frequent manifestation of side effects, but also the presence of a fairly significant number of contraindications. Thus, the procedure is not recommended in the following situations:
- pregnancy, first months after birth, breastfeeding, menstruation
- reduced immunity and exacerbation of various diseases due to such a condition as well as local viral and bacterial infections (influenza, tonsillitis, ARVI);
- individual intolerance to the injectable preparations for injections
- high sensitivity of the skin to injections and a tendency to scarring;
- diseases of the circulatory system.
In addition, reviews by individual specialists provide information that regular consumption of alcoholic beverages and aspirin a few days before the start of treatment may significantly worsen the expected results.
Skin Restoration Recommendations
How to care for the skin around the eyes after mesotherapy? In fact, there are no specific guidelines. In most cases, side effects disappear within 48 hours after the injections, but complete cure is not completed until the end of 5 or 7 days.
The following recommendations are recommended throughout the rehabilitation period:
- Do not wash with hot water (first day);
- Do not use cosmetics, both decorative and intended for skin care (within 48 hours)
- keep away from direct sunlight (it is recommended to wear sunglasses before going out for 24-48 hours);
- Do not visit saunas, steam baths and solariums (5-7 days)
- Do not rub or scratch the skin, even if you have discomfort and itching.
Benefits of Holding
Let's talk about how after mesotherapy such a pronounced anti-aging effect is formed and the elimination of a variety of problems. The obvious benefits of the technique include factors such as:
- the presence of meso-cocktails specially adapted to the delicate skin around the eyes
- the ability to solve problems in a complex (for example, rejuvenation and elimination of swelling by peptides);
- an additional rejuvenating effect caused by a violation of the integrity of the skin and activation of dermis regeneration;
- short rehabilitation period and no special requirements for its implementation.
Procedure Costs
How much does mesotherapy around the eyes cost? Prices vary and may vary depending on the pricing policy of the clinic you choose and the cosmetic product used for injections.
Mesotherapy of eyelids and skin under the eyes is a very effective method of rejuvenating this area. Due to the presence of special formulations and their introduction directly into the superficial and middle layers of the skin, a positive effect is already observed for 2-3 procedures. Such an effect may be accompanied by side effects, but in general it is characterized by minimal trauma.
