• Dark circles and bruises under the eyes

Dark circles under the eyes are extremely unsightly; they create the effect of a tired face, making a person look older than his age. Therefore, they are often hidden with concealers. The cause of the problem is often obvious - lifestyle. Constant lack of sleep, stress, prolonged work at the computer, smoking and alcohol can lead to a deplorable state of the skin. Lack of water and poor nutrition - for example, excess salt in food or lack of vitamins C, K and B - also do not contribute to a fresh look. And exposure to the sun on unprotected skin causes melanin to be synthesized intensively, causing pigmentation.

However, dark circles under the eyes can also appear for reasons beyond our control: age-related changes, the proximity of blood vessels to the surface of the skin, hormonal levels, certain diseases, taking medications. Allergic reactions can lead to mechanical damage to the skin of the eyelids due to constant friction. Ultimately, genetic predisposition and facial structure may be the cause of bruises.

When deciding how to get rid of circles under the eyes in women , it is necessary to take into account a number of features characteristic of the female body. In this case, the reasons that provoke shadows under the eyes include the specific anatomical structure, weakness of the muscular-ligamentous system, active facial expressions, thin and delicate skin, as well as hormonal changes and some chronic diseases, for example, venous insufficiency.

When the question arises of how to treat under-eye circles in men who have thicker skin than women, laser resurfacing may be the right option. In addition, mesotherapy and plasma therapy methods are effective and successfully used for men.

Also, in men, circles on the lower eyelids can sometimes indicate inflammatory processes in the prostate gland. In addition, in the stronger sex, impaired blood supply to the eyelid area is more common, associated with injuries to the nose, as well as abuse of alcohol and cigarettes.

The optimal solution to the problem for both women and men will be selected by a cosmetologist after an examination.

Feel the magic of microcurrents. Indications for use.

Cosmetologists recommend microcurrent therapy in various cases. We have already familiarized ourselves with the possible results and rejuvenation. In what other cases is a positive effect irreplaceable? Sometimes microcurrent therapy is recommended after a harsh peel (such as laser or chemical). In addition, microcurrents have a beneficial effect on inflammation and muscle spasms, soothing them and removing excess stagnant fluid (lymphatic drainage). Also, such light therapy is desirable in the postoperative period (in the format of rehabilitation).

Doctors are still arguing about how useful microcurrents are for the face and how often to do the therapy. But many people pay attention that thanks to the normalization of internal metabolic processes and improvement of muscle tone, the skin regains its radiance. Additionally, you will receive a light facial massage and a relaxing procedure, which, according to experts, will even help you cope with stress and get rid of insomnia. Every cell of your face and body will thank you for such care: they will be saturated with oxygen and begin the process of regeneration.

In cosmetology, microcurrents (see description of the procedure) refer to hardware rejuvenation. To enhance the effect on the lymphatic and circulatory systems of the face and body, special nourishing gels are used during manipulation with microcurrents. As in the case of biorevitalization and mesotherapy, the substance can contain a whole range of useful components. They include antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, amino acids. Each composition has its own characteristics and accents, useful in certain cases.

How to care for your skin after salon procedures?

If salon procedures have solved the problem of dark circles under the eyes, then you should take care to ensure that it does not arise again.

• You should consult with a cosmetologist about the possibility of using cosmetics at home to prevent bruises under the eyes (creams, emulsions, masks)
• Adjust sleep and eating patterns
• Drink enough water
• Carry out a full range of procedures prescribed by a cosmetologist
• Use only high-quality decorative cosmetics.

Why does this problem occur?

Bags and bruises under the eyes can be bothersome for various reasons, among which I would like to note the following:

• Hereditary predisposition and structural features of the skin.
• Age-related changes that inevitably occur.
• Spending a long time in front of a computer monitor with your head tilted down.
• Inadequate sleep.
• The influence of toxic substances on tissues, this often happens among lovers of bad habits: alcohol, smoking.
• Among the reasons, some pathologies can be noted, for example, the urinary system, cardiovascular, endocrine.

Before choosing methods to remove bags and bruises under the eyes, cosmetology recommends undergoing an examination and identifying the cause. The diagnosis can only be made by a specialist.

Modern methods help remove dark circles under the eyes, cosmetology receives good reviews, but not everyone has the opportunity to visit such clinics. In such cases, pharmaceutical products can come to the rescue.

They are easy to use and can be purchased without a doctor's prescription. Before use, be sure to read the instructions. The most effective means include:

• "Badyaga." Available in the form of ointments or powders. It contains dried seaweed, which is great for treating bruises and swelling. To solve the problem, you need to apply a compress for 20 minutes daily. It must be taken into account that the product cannot be applied to wounds.
• "Heparin ointment." It's cheap and solves the problem well. In addition, the constituent components will prevent infection and inflammation. The ointment dilates blood vessels, which helps eliminate bruises.

• "Troxevasin". This ointment helps not only with bruises and injuries, but also relieves bruises around the eyes. The use of the drug leads to a decrease in inflammation, swelling is reduced, and there is a slight analgesic effect.

Before purchasing products, it is better to consult a dermatologist.

Lipografting

Minimally invasive surgery, during which a tissue graft is taken from a patient from any part of the body and implanted in the eye area. Lipofilling should be carried out by a specialist with experience, since the presence or absence of side effects will depend on his professionalism.

Lipografting is performed for:

• sagging skin around the eyes,
• swelling and bruising on the eyelids.

All procedures performed by a cosmetologist are contraindicated:

1. Women carrying a child.
2. Nursing mothers.
3. Diabetics.
4. Patients with tumor pathologies, inflammatory processes on the skin of the face, those with individual idiosyncrasies, recent infectious diseases, and chronic diseases of internal organs in the regression stage.

Bruises, dark circles, bags and puffiness under the eyes, which occur systematically, may not appear if you adhere to a healthy lifestyle. All cosmetic procedures eliminate defects under the eyes only for a while, since the use of masks, lifting and filler injections give a short-term effect.

Clear reasons for the unsightly infraorbital area

Clearly visible signs of the appearance of circles under the eyes, which blepharoplasty can sometimes help get rid of, are listed below:

- unharmonious lifestyle (smoking, drinking alcohol);

- rapid weight loss;

- dehydration of the body;

- genetic inheritance (close passage of blood vessels to the surface of the skin);

- erratic daily routine, lack of sleep, chronic fatigue (these are one of the main links in the overall chain of appearance of ugly, dark, infraorbital circles);

- insufficient or erroneous care of the paraorbital area;

- impaired metabolism;

- hypovitaminosis;

- increased pigmentation in the infraorbital area.

Infraorbital bruises can be the cause of internal diseases. If any, they affect the expansion of the vascular network, interfere with oxygen supply through the blood, and reduce the strength of the vascular tissue. Such negative tendencies cause dark blood vessels to clearly show through the skin texture, thereby forming unsightly dark circles. Having this information, you realize that against dark circles under the eyes .

Mesoparation

This method is recommended for girls over 30. It is during this period that the first symptoms of skin aging appear, expressed in a decrease in tissue tone and elasticity. An effective method of rejuvenation by mesoparation consists of introducing into the eyelid area preparations containing synthesized collagen protein, plant components, hyaluronan and multivitamins.

A cosmetologist selects the listed elements for injection, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient’s body. To ensure that no pain occurs during this method, the skin must be treated with anesthetic drugs. The duration of one such procedure is 25 minutes, and the entire mesotherapy cycle is carried out 4-9 times with an interval of one week. The mesoparation technique is applicable to eliminate under the eyes:

• subcutaneous extravasations in the form of bruises,
• dark pigment spots,
• bluish swelling and protrusion of the lower eyelids.

Prevention of darkening of the eye area

It is much wiser not to fight bruises, but to try to prevent their occurrence. To do this, you need to start leading a healthy lifestyle and, if possible, eliminate bad habits. A prerequisite is adherence to a daily routine and adequate sleep.

Cosmetologists also strongly advise reconsidering your diet and including as many vegetables and fruits, dairy products and fish as possible. When consuming these products, the body will receive a sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals, which has a positive effect on the condition of the epidermis, including accelerating the regeneration process and metabolic processes.

Each cosmetic method for correcting darkening in the lower eyelid area has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is impossible to objectively assess which technique is more effective, since the result depends on individual characteristics and the severity of the cosmetic defect. In order not to make a bad choice and achieve a pronounced effect, you need to select a procedure together with a cosmetologist and only after identifying the original source of the disorder.

Cosmetological methods for eliminating dark circles under the eyes

Aesthetic cosmetology centers offer many different cosmetic procedures aimed at correcting bruises in the lower eyelid area. They are classified into 2 groups:

• carried out by injection (the most popular procedure in this group is mesotherapy). You can resort to such methods of eliminating cosmetic defects no earlier than 25 years. The main advantage of such techniques is that the effect of injections lasts up to 3 years;
• procedures during which the integrity of the skin is not compromised. Such procedures are more gentle and have fewer restrictions. But for a lasting effect they need to be taken in a course.

Regardless of the method used, any procedures designed to correct dark spots under the eyes are aimed at strengthening capillaries and eliminating signs of broken blood vessels. Both hardware and injection techniques generally have a positive effect on the condition of the skin, healing and toning it.

Fillers

Fillers are synthetic preparations whose main active ingredient is hyaluronic acid. After injection into the under-eye area, the filler stimulates cell renewal and actively moisturizes the skin from the inside. The injections have a complex effect and generally improve the condition of the skin.

It is worth considering that the injected drug is absorbed quite quickly. If bruises under the eyes are constantly present, the procedure will have to be repeated after 5–6 months.

The main advantages of fillers:

• no negative impact on facial muscles;
• short duration of the procedure (usually the event takes about 20 minutes);
• lack of rehabilitation. A woman can begin her usual activities immediately after the end of the session;
• minimal risk of allergies and other complications;
• the effect lasts for 5–9 months.

Like any injection technique, the injection of fillers causes severe pain, so such procedures are not recommended for people who are susceptible to pain.

Mesotherapy

This cosmetic procedure involves the injection of vitamin cocktails, which are prepared individually for each client. Most often they are based on:

• collagen;
• extracts of medicinal plants;
• elastin;
• organic acids.

Mesotherapy has a complex effect: eliminates bruises, fights swelling, stimulates the process of tissue regeneration. It is worth considering that mesotherapy is a cumulative procedure, so the pronounced effect will be noticeable no earlier than after 3 sessions. The introduction of meso-cocktails, like fillers, is a rather painful process that can provoke the occurrence of small hematomas. To minimize pain and the risk of complications, it is recommended that the procedure be performed only by professionals.

Biorevitalization and bioreparation

These procedures are aimed at healing and restoring the skin. Biorevitalizants consist exclusively of hyaluronic acid. Biological agents have a more complex composition:

• ascorbic acid;
• hyaluronic acid;
• riboflavin;
• amino acids.

As cosmetology practice shows, the introduction of bioremedies is more effective because they stay in the skin longer. In essence, bioreparation is no different from mesotherapy and also includes a course of 5-6 procedures. As for biorevitalization, it gives an effect only with an integrated approach. For visible results, a woman will have to adjust her diet, start doing massages and follow a drinking regime.

Biostimulation

This hardware procedure combines the best properties of ultrasound, electrophoresis and electromagnetic therapy. Since biostimulation has a complex effect, it has a positive effect on muscle fibers, activates the regeneration process and accelerates natural physiological processes. All this leads to the fact that bruises under the eyes become almost invisible. The procedure is painless and is also carried out in a course.

Blepharoplasty

This technique relates more to plastic surgery rather than cosmetology. During it you can not only get rid of bruises, but also change the shape of the eyelids and the shape of the eyes. To combat darkening, laser blepharoplasty is most often performed, which has the following advantages:

• short rehabilitation process;
• absence of scars and cicatrices;
• absence of bleeding and likelihood of infectious complications.

If blepharoplasty is performed correctly, the effect will last for more than 5 years.

Lipolifting

A surgical procedure in which fat cells are injected into the lower eyelid area using a thick syringe. Fat tissue is collected from the patient himself from those places where fat is present in excess. Lipolifting tightens the eyelids while helping to get rid of bruises. The procedure is practically painless and is not accompanied by long-term rehabilitation. Its only drawback is the lack of long-term effect.

Carboxytherapy

The procedure involves injecting carbon dioxide under the skin. Carboxytherapy stimulates blood flow and lymph circulation, thereby activating metabolic processes.

Despite its prevalence, many cosmetologists assure that carboxytherapy is not suitable for combating bruises, since it is more aimed at improving tissue health in general.

Plasmolifting

Plasmolifting is a modern non-injection method of rejuvenation and activation of the regeneration process. Since instead of drugs, the patient’s own plasma, previously enriched with platelets, is injected under the skin, the risk of side effects after such an intervention is practically absent. Depending on the need, injections are administered into both the superficial and deep layers of the dermis. As a result of this effect, the production of collagen and elastin is stimulated, the process of blood circulation and cell regeneration is activated. After completing the course, the skin becomes healthy and tightened, and the dark circles under the eyes disappear.

Laser treatments

Laser procedures are often used to remove dark spots under the eyes. The most common of them is laser photothermolysis. The procedure involves hardware laser treatment of problem areas. During this effect, old skin cells are cleaned off and the formation of new tissue is stimulated. To achieve a lasting effect, you will need to undergo about 4 procedures. The advantage of the technique is that it is suitable for people whose capillaries are close to the surface layers of the skin.

Doctor's recommendations before and after the procedure

Two weeks before the procedure and two weeks after: you cannot sunbathe, visit a solarium, or perform chemical peels. The doctor will also clarify which medications (some antibiotics, sulfonamides, etc.) should not be taken. Three days before and three days after the procedure, you should not wipe the area where the laser will work with alcohol-containing products, or visit a sauna, bathhouse or swimming pool.

The rehabilitation period lasts about two to three days. A slight redness appears on the treated area, which goes away on its own. In some cases, swelling or crusts may appear: they will go away in a couple of weeks or even earlier if they are treated several times a day with drugs such as Panthenol or Bepanten.

Fillers

The use of fillers is one of the most common cosmetic procedures that help combat this phenomenon. It allows you to eliminate only visual defects, but not the root of the problem.

Filler is a cosmetic composition presented in the form of a silicone filler made from hyaluronic acid. The procedure for its use involves injecting the drug into the area of ​​skin located under the eyes. After introducing the component, all the active substances included in the product begin to stimulate the appearance of new cells, moisturizing the skin from the inside.

As practice shows, to achieve the desired effect, the product must be used 2-3 times with an interval of several months between procedures.

The injection of fillers is a procedure that has almost no contraindications. The only case when it is not recommended is if a woman has sensitive skin.

This method works great for dark circles around the eyes. The procedure has a number of advantages, which puts it in one of the first places:

• The duration of the session is no more than 20 minutes.
• If you use this method to remove dark circles under the eyes, the procedure, cosmetology claims, does not leave behind unpleasant cuts. You don't have to wear bandages and experience discomfort.
• Minimal likelihood of developing allergic reactions.
• The effectiveness is high and lasts for up to 12 months.

In cosmetology, fillers with hyaluronic acid are most often used. It is found in the human body, so it is not perceived as a foreign substance.

Cosmetology quickly helps remove dark circles under the eyes, before and after photos, reviews confirm this. The effect is noticeable almost immediately after the procedure. The skin becomes denser, its elasticity increases, dark circles disappear. The look becomes more expressive, younger and fresher.

But to get the desired result, it is important to choose a good clinic and an experienced specialist, a professional in his field.

About the regularity of sessions and the prolonging effect

If you ask a specialist how often you can do microcurrents for the face, he will most likely offer you 10-15 sessions with a break of 3-4 days, this is the most optimal option. Many clinics offer a large discount when paying for a course of procedures. To permanently normalize muscle tone, we recommend regular adjustments. To consolidate the result, try injections and microcurrents (the contraindications are similar), but in this case the break between sessions should be much longer so that your skin has time to recover after the injections.

We hope that you are convinced: manipulation with microcurrents is a pleasant physiological procedure with a lifting and drainage effect, aimed at eliminating small defects. By improving the visual and aesthetic appearance of your face using microcurrent therapy, you will further improve your mental state and get a good mood. The effect is “three in one”, as they say.

Admit it, are you interested in microcurrents? Indications and contraindications overlap with many other procedures, but there are no traces of injections, no redness, no burns if you are in the hands of a qualified specialist. A simple, universal, absolutely non-traumatic method that will restore healthy tone to your skin, help restore collagen levels, and also trigger biochemical synthesis to restore youth.

But remember that microcurrent therapy is still physical therapy; you should not expect an absolutely dramatic effect from it and the return of youth. Although deep down in your soul you will probably feel a positive uplift and happiness when you see yourself in the mirror after the session: dull skin will glow, a spark of youth will appear in your eyes. After all, microcurrent lymphatic drainage has exactly this magic.
