The eye area is one of the most sensitive and vulnerable areas of the human face.
The thinness of the skin due to the influence of many internal and external factors leads to the rapid appearance of wrinkles and other signs of early aging. That is why proper care of the skin around the eyes is extremely important, creams and lotions alone are a must.
Mesotherapy can come to the rescue, the technique is safe and effective.
Indications for implementation
First, you need to understand the indications for mesotherapy around the eyes. The procedure can be applied to remove the following manifestations:
- mimics wrinkles;
- puffiness and dark circles under the eyes;
- dry skin;
- decrease in firmness and elasticity;
- pale skin.
It should be noted immediately that mesotherapy may not be effective in all cases. Meso cocktail injections can provide a positive effect in solving existing problems if they arise due to:
- vitamin, nutrient and acid deficiency caused by poor diet, ecology and other external factors;
- natural aging processes leading to inhibition of metabolism, cell renewal;
- Changes caused by hormonal changes and physiological characteristics (for example, bags under the eyes due to a hernia) are practically impossible to correct with this method.
What medications are used?
The delicate skin around the eyes is perhaps the only area of the human face for which the development and use of special meso-cocktails is envisaged. In all other cases, the use of conventional universal means is quite acceptable. Conventionally, these medications (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 surprising example of this type of preparation is the Peptide Cocktail for the skin around the eyes. The main active ingredient of such a composition are peptides, special proteins that have a beneficial effect on metabolic processes in the dermis, remove excess fluid and lead to accelerated renewal of skin cells. The injections are done primarily to reduce puffiness and remove dark circles.
Meso cocktails designed to rejuvenate and generally improve the existing situation
Such meso cocktails are successfully used to hydrate the skin, saturate it with useful components, and also to remove moderately expressed facial wrinkles. Drugs can also be used as a prophylactic agent.
The 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 must be pre-cleaned and treated with an antiseptic to minimize the risk of inflammation. If your pain threshold allows you to avoid anesthesia, then it is best to leave it.
The injections are carried out only manually, it is not a hardware method. This solution reduces the risks of skin injuries and at the same time helps to achieve a more pronounced effect, since it allows you to act on the problem promptly.
When choosing a beautician and clinic for the first time, where the procedure will be carried out, carefully study the reviews of patients, because the final result largely depends on the professionalism of the specialist who performs the injections. Remember, this point is as important as the way the medicine is introduced and its specific type.
To achieve a pronounced result, as a rule of thumb, you should visit 5-7 sessions with breaks of about 10 days. However, in some cases, both more and fewer procedures may be required, it all depends on the individual characteristics of the patient and the degree of complexity of the existing problem. A procedure takes about 30 minutes, then the patient can return to the rhythm of daily life.
Side effects and contraindications
Reviews of mesotherapy on the eyelid and eye area are extremely true, after its 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 further trauma.
It can be seen more frequently in the first hours after mesotherapy:
- edema, including a slight increase in the size of the bags under the eyes;
- bruises;
- redness;
- pain and discomfort;
- tear.
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. Therefore, the procedure is not recommended for the following situations:
- pregnancy, first months after childbirth, lactation period, menstruation;
- decreased immunity and exacerbation of various diseases against the background of such a condition, as well as local viral and bacterial infections (flu, tonsillitis, ARVI);
- individual intolerance to constituents prepared for injections;
- high sensitivity of the skin to injections and a tendency to scar formation;
- diseases of the circulatory system.
Additionally, individual specialist reviews contain information that regular intake of alcoholic beverages and aspirin a couple of days before starting therapy can significantly worsen expected results.
Recommendations for skin restoration
How exactly should the skin around the eyes be cared for after mesotherapy? In fact, there are no specific guidelines. In most cases, the side effects go away within 48 hours after the injections; however, full recovery is completed only at the end of 5 to 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 skin care (within 48 hours);
- stay out of direct sunlight (sunglasses are recommended before going outside for 24-48 hours)
- do not visit saunas, steam rooms and solarium (5-7 days);
- do not rub or scratch the skin, even if it is sore and itchy.
Benefits of maintaining
Let's talk about how after mesotherapy such a pronounced anti-aging effect is formed and the elimination of several different problems. The obvious advantages of the technique include factors such as:
- the presence of meso cocktails specially adapted for the delicate skin around the eyes;
- the ability to solve problems in a complex (for example, rejuvenation and removal of puffiness with peptides);
- an additional rejuvenating effect caused by a violation of the integrity of the skin and the activation of regeneration of the dermis;
- short rehabilitation period and no special requirements for its implementation.
Cost of the procedure
How much does mesotherapy around the eyes cost? Prices vary and may differ depending on the pricing policy of the clinic you choose and the cosmetic product used for the injections.
Mesotherapy of the eyelids and skin under the eyes is a very effective method to rejuvenate this area. Due to the presence of special formulations and their introduction directly into the superficial and middle layers of the dermis, a positive effect is already observed for 2-3 procedures. Such an effect may be accompanied by side effects, but is generally characterized by minimal trauma.
