Over the years, the skin around the eyes becomes thin and vulnerable.
These areas of the skin are primarily exposed to the external environment, and are also a mirror of physiological disorders in the body.
As a result, many wrinkles appear, which become more and more difficult to get rid of every day.
The use of cosmetics in this case is ineffective, and surgical correction is not always possible.
Modern rejuvenation technologies used today in clinics and beauty salons make it possible to carry out painless correction of cosmetic defects in the skin around the eyes.
The result of such an intervention can be considered an improvement in the elasticity and firmness of the skin, as well as a natural color.
Techniques
When choosing a particular technique, a cosmetologist identifies problems:
- Loss of skin elasticity, resulting in increased severity of the nasolacrimal groove;
- The presence of dry, sallow skin;
- The appearance of swelling of the eyelids, the presence of hernial sacs and dark circles under the eyes;
- The presence of pigmentation and manifestations of rosacea around the eyes.
- The appearance of wrinkles (“crow’s feet”) in the outer corners of the eyes.
Depending on the indications, the doctor chooses exactly the technique that is aimed at solving this problem.
Let's get acquainted with possible ways to rejuvenate the skin around the eyes.

The first signs of changes after the procedure are visible already on days 10-14. The maximum result will be noticeable within 6 months and can last for 2-2.5 years. It is recommended to carry out DOT rejuvenation once every 6 months (sometimes the break can be 1.55 years), or a course of procedures with a break of 1-1.5 months. Reviews about the DOT rejuvenation procedure are mostly positive.
It is important to understand that the success of the procedure depends on the correctness of its implementation and the experience of the doctors. But, basically, the patient always gets the desired result. This rejuvenating course of restoring youthful cells is a unique modern procedure that will quickly rejuvenate the skin of the face and décolleté. Here are a few comments describing DOT rejuvenation, consequences, reviews:
Yaroslava (35 years old): When I first noticed the effects of DOT rejuvenation, I was very surprised! Believe me, I didn’t even expect this therapy to be so effective. Immediately after the procedure, the view was a little scary, but after 6 days I was happy looking at my reflection in the mirror!
Lilia (42 years old): I decided to have laser resurfacing. I was very pleased. There were no wrinkles left on my face and I began to look noticeably younger.

Injection technologies for skin rejuvenation around the eyes
Mesotherapy
This is an injection rejuvenation technique.
Using injections, an individually selected composition of medications is introduced into the skin, the effect of which is aimed at:
- stimulation of cellular metabolism;
- normalization of microcirculation of liquid media;
- regeneration and restoration of the natural structure of tissues;
- increased vascular tone, which reduces the manifestations of rosacea.
Biorevitalization
This method is similar to the previous one, but it involves introducing into the skin preparations that contain hyaluronic acid in pure form or in a mixture with other components.
Hyaluronic acid is able to bind water molecules, due to which the skin becomes hydrated, acquires elasticity and firmness, as a result, fine wrinkles can be smoothed out.
Plasmolifting
Unlike mesotherapy, your own plasma is injected into the area around the eyes.
The advantage of plasma lifting over other injection methods is that if the patient has a history of allergies, this method is not a contraindication.
Botulinum therapy
As in previous cases, it is produced by injection and is quite popular.
Botulinum toxin A preparations (Botox, Dysport) are injected into the facial muscles.
As a result of the effect, facial wrinkles of the skin around the eyes are smoothed out.
Ozone therapy
The method has become widespread in cosmetology.
The best effect is achieved with subcutaneous injection of an oxygen-ozone mixture.
- As a result of blood saturation with oxygen, vascular tone increases, resulting in improved microcirculation.
- The skin texture is evened out, wrinkles in the corners of the eyes become less noticeable, bruises and swelling disappear under the eyes.
Contour plastic
Gels based on hyaluronic acid or collagen are injected into or under the skin.
This involves filling skin defects with fillers and strengthening the contour around the eyes.
As a result, wrinkles in the corners of the eyes are smoothed out and the skin texture is evened out.
Chemical peeling
This is a rejuvenating procedure using trichloroacetic and lactic acids in small concentrations.
As a result of exposure, the severity of age spots and swelling of the skin around the eyes decreases, which gives a rejuvenating effect.
Microneedling
The procedure is based on the use of a small roller with microneedles (mesaroller or dermaroller). When mechanically applied to the skin, microscopic channels are formed.
As a result of damaging action:
- the process of formation of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin is activated;
- the administration of medicinal and cosmetic products is facilitated.
The effectiveness of the procedure is reduced to increasing the tone and elasticity of tissues. The skin looks fresh and tightened.
Why laser treatment?
Rosacea is a chronic condition characterized by facial redness and red follicular rashes.
To get rid of rosacea, laser treatment is best because the beam only reacts to the pink vessels without harming healthy skin. For greater effect and to prevent relapses, drug treatment and a special diet are also prescribed.
Laser treatment for rosacea is performed under local anesthesia, but may still cause discomfort both before and after the procedure.
The only side effect is bruising, which can be covered up with makeup.
Hardware
Thermage and RF lifting
Techniques based on the use of electromagnetic waves.
The result of use is an increase in skin elasticity and a decrease in swelling under the eyes.
Photorejuvenation
The technology includes two methods of influence - radio wave and light.
Under their influence, blood circulation improves and the synthesis of collagen and elastin in tissues is stimulated.
Finds effective use in the presence of vascular networks, pigmentation and fine wrinkles in the eye area.
Laser technologies for skin rejuvenation around the eyes
Fractional laser rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes is gaining well-deserved popularity.
Advantages
1. Efficiency and results. The laser beam fights skin aging and wrinkles. The effect of the procedure is that neighboring tissues are not damaged. Wrinkles and pigmentation disappear, irritation goes away. As a result of internal effects on the skin, its firmness and elasticity increases, and rejuvenation begins.
2. Painlessness and quick recovery. Thanks to local anesthesia, the procedure is painless. The pain is not felt even on the eyelids, where the skin is especially delicate. Both the procedure itself and the rehabilitation period do not take much time. After a day, all traces of laser exposure on the skin disappear.
Contraindications
The procedure is contraindicated:
- during pregnancy;
- exacerbation of atopic dermatitis;
- those suffering from epilepsy, psoriasis, as well as high fever and colds.
After chemical peeling, the procedure is indicated two weeks later.
Post-procedure recommendations
- You should not get any tan for three weeks before and after the procedure.
- The cosmetics used must have protective properties against ultraviolet radiation.
Possible consequences and complications
Fractional laser rejuvenation may be accompanied by side effects. As a rule, in most cases such conditions are normal and go away on their own within a few days.
The most common consequences include the occurrence of pronounced pain in the areas exposed to the laser beam. The appearance of redness, swelling, peeling, scars and age spots cannot be ruled out.
Often after the procedure, an allergic reaction occurs, accompanied by itching and burning. This suggests that the patient has an intolerance to certain components present in the drugs used.
As a result of the secretion of lymph, a crust begins to form on the surface. In no case should you try to eliminate it yourself, which can lead to an increase in the recovery period.

Reviews
Reviews that can be found on the Internet about the rejuvenating effect of laser are ambiguous, but most often positive.
The disadvantages of laser rejuvenation, which patients point out, include:
- soreness;
- the high cost of the procedure and, in some cases, the lack of effect compared to fractional ones.
However, some women admit that they went to a beauty salon rather than to a specialized clinic, since the cost of such procedures in a salon is lower.
Perhaps such results are associated with insufficient qualifications of personnel.
Contraindications to the procedure
Like any other salon procedure, fractional rejuvenation has contraindications. You need to familiarize yourself with them before the procedure - this way you can avoid unpleasant consequences. Let's consider the contraindications in detail:
- pregnancy and breastfeeding: if any changes occur in the body of the expectant or nursing mother, this will certainly affect the child, so it is better to postpone the rejuvenation procedure;
- inflammation and redness in the laser area: if you are going to do fractional rejuvenation on the cheeks where allergies have recently appeared, the cosmetologist will refuse to perform the procedure; the laser can cause even more harm and also leave scars that will not heal;
- chemical peeling: after cleansing your face in this way, you need to wait at least 2 weeks before doing laser rejuvenation; During this time, the layers of the epidermis will become stronger and will be ready to be exposed to the beam;
- oncological diseases of various kinds: in this case, the laser can cause uncontrolled complications;
- diabetes mellitus: this disease is a contraindication to many salon procedures, including fractional rejuvenation;
- infections (both bacterial and viral): if you are sick, wait until you are completely recovered; Remember that fractional rejuvenation occurs at the cellular level, so it is important that no foreign elements invade their structure.
If you have a cold, wait until you are completely recovered to undergo fractional rejuvenation.
There is also a relative contraindication - tanning. Fractional rejuvenation is best performed in winter, when sun exposure to the skin is minimal. You should also give up the solarium.
