One day you woke up and realized that bags under your eyes were no longer a morning problem for you. Now they are always with you, whether you like it or not. Alas, the time has come to get rid of your faithful companions by force.
In most cases, permanent bruising and bags under your eyes are not your fault.
Possible reasons:
- genetic predisposition;
- aging;
- diseases of the kidneys, liver, cardiovascular and genitourinary systems.
But you shouldn't put up with this. It’s just that the methods of struggle here are needed as serious as the reasons themselves. Only professional procedures in salons and medical centers will help.
Masks
How do they do it?
Professionals exchanged the miraculous power of raw potatoes with parsley for other drugs. Salon masks for swollen eyelids typically contain collagen, elastin protein, hyaluronic acid, and oils. They create a thin protective film on the skin. But the main thing in such cosmetics is biologically active substances that improve the outflow of fluid through the lymphatic tract. Both the effect and prices depend on them.
Here are the masks they can offer you in beauty salons.
- Alginant masks are masks based on brown algae. This mask can be supplemented with ampoules and concentrates with algae. They maintain skin elasticity and promote the production of fibers in the dermis.
- Masks with medical leech extract (EPM) (“Petals of Life”). Improve the condition of veins, increase the fluidity of blood and lymph.
- Caffeine in masks works against swelling and even breaks down fat cells that can become fat hernias.
- Masks with plant extracts. Ivy creates a drainage effect, milkweed stimulates the breakdown of fats, spurge relieves irritation, fatigue, eliminates dark circles, chamomile gives an anti-edematous effect, parsley increases blood circulation, wheat proteins restore water balance.
Who is it suitable for?
Masks will not harm anyone, even young girls, but they will really only help in unaddressed cases. When the circles under the eyes just begin to round and stand out, you need to start with a course of masks.
Who is it not suitable for?
The only thing that will prevent you from enjoying the process is an allergy to a specific component.
Price
Of course, each salon has its own price level, and companies producing cosmetics have their own. Good quality at an affordable price can be obtained using drugs from Gatineau, Matis, Academie. An eye procedure in a beauty salon with a mask and cream from these companies will cost around 1000 rubles.
What is biorevitalization around the eyes
Biorevitalization around the eyes is a type of mesotherapy that is aimed at improving the condition of the dermis in this area. The positive effect of this cosmetic procedure is achieved through neurohumoral and pharmacological stimulation of cells.
The administered drug consists of large molecules. This prevents the body from quickly breaking down the substance and helps prolong the results of the procedure. Hyaluronate has hydrophilic properties. Settling in the intercellular space, it attracts and retains water particles, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, and accelerates regeneration.
Such injections are used in cosmetology not only independently, but also in combination with other anti-aging procedures. Biorevitalization after blepharoplasty and circular facelift improves tissue healing.
Mesotherapy
How do they do it?
Substances from masks are not able to completely penetrate deep into the dermis. And to solve the problem from the inside, injections help: the active substances are delivered through thin needles directly into the bags and bruises to a depth of 1.5 to 6 mm. However, for the timid, there is also a non-injection method of mesotherapy: a special device injects drugs into the skin under oxygen pressure.
The components of the “cocktail” can be very different: enzymes, vitamins and minerals, lysine, plant extracts, caffeine, as well as extracts from embryonic cells. But a “personal cocktail” can only be selected after a consultation, when a specific problem has been identified. As a result, the substances strengthen muscles and delicate skin, activate and tone blood vessels, and they begin to intensively pump venous blood and lymph.
Who is it suitable for?
Although many call mesotherapy an alternative to surgery, it is not nearly as effective. Excess fluid will decrease, as well as blueness, the skin will become denser, but if there are fat cells, they will not dissolve.
Who is it not suitable for?
Nothing will stop you except the fear of injections. In mesotherapy, everything is innocent: non-toxic substances, local effects (75% of the drug remains in the affected area, no more than 25% goes into the blood). Even people with diabetes can be treated with mesotherapy!
Price
The effect of these procedures is quite long-lasting, but not eternal - after 8-10 months the course must be repeated. And the course includes about six to eight procedures. The price of one ranges from 900 to 2000 rubles, depending on the cost of the drugs administered.
Instead of output
And finally, I would like to add: remember that mesotherapy against dark circles under the eyes does not exclude such simple things, by adhering to which you will reduce the risk of their occurrence:
- Get plenty of rest;
- Use black tea or a cold compress on the eyes to reduce dilation of blood vessels;
- Wear sunglasses to reduce pigmentation;
- Avoid smoking;
- You can’t tolerate delicate skin around your eyes – it will only get worse over time.
Lymphatic drainage
How do they do it?
Many large salons offer to get rid of bags under the eyes by applying electric current to the lymphatic vessels. The purpose of the procedure is to disperse stagnant fluid and waste through the lymphatic system. To do this, point electrodes are placed on and around problem areas according to a certain pattern, through which alternating currents flow. A positive electrode is installed at the beginning of the lymphatic vessel, and a negative electrode is installed towards the lymph node.
It feels like these microcurrents are shaking the skin. In fact, they contract muscles, activate capillaries and drive lymph and venous blood away from the eyes. An hour and a half of this test - and the swelling subsides, and the dark circles lighten. To prevent them from returning in the morning, the effect is secured with tonic masks and creams.
Who is it suitable for?
Lymphatic drainage is called that because it primarily affects lymph, that is, it removes swelling. For fatty hernias, this method will not help much. And you can only determine what problem you have through consultation.
Who is it not suitable for?
In addition to specific sensations, a list of contraindications can be considered a disadvantage of hardware lymphatic drainage: thrombophlebitis or acute skin diseases in the affected area, impaired blood clotting function, fresh hemorrhages, hypersensitivity to pulsed current.
Price
The entire procedure for lymphatic drainage for the eyes takes an hour and a half, and costs on average 1500-2000 rubles in Moscow. Moreover, at least four such procedures are needed.
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:
- Fillers
- Microcurrent therapy (biostimulation)
- Mesotherapy
- Biorevitalization and bioreparation of eyelids
- Blepharoplasty
- 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.
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:
- The whole procedure takes no more than 15-20 minutes;
- good tolerance - no incisions, bandages or restrictions on actions;
- minimum risk of an allergic reaction or post-traumatic consequences;
- 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.
