Mesotherapy of the skin around the eyes is one of the most effective methods today to get rid of the manifestations of age-related changes on the face, allowing you to significantly rejuvenate the dermis. Wrinkles, puffiness and the presence of dark circles in the eye area, which are caused by various harmful factors, cause serious inconvenience and spoil the appearance and mood. Thanks to the use of mesotherapy, you can quickly and without any complications get rid of all these troubles.
What is the essence of mesotherapy for the skin around the eyes?
Our skin in the eye area is the most delicate and sensitive. To care for it, special, most gentle and at the same time effective products are required. External factors, stressful conditions, the need to constantly strain your eyes while working at the computer - all this negatively affects the condition of our skin. Over time, the process of fluid exchange in tissues slows down, the dermis around the eyes becomes deformed, loses smoothness and elasticity.
To solve the problem, you need to strengthen the facial muscles, activate cell renewal processes, and improve skin tone. The mesotherapy method will help to cope with these problems.
During the session, the specialist makes a subcutaneous injection in the area that requires correction. Existing folds and wrinkles are filled with the solution introduced in this way, making the surface of the skin more even and smooth.
As a result of the procedure, renewal processes in the epidermal tissues are activated at the cellular level. Over the past few years, mesotherapy for the skin around the eyes has received positive reviews from many patients in beauty salons, and studies conducted in clinical settings have proven its high effectiveness in rejuvenation.
The procedure promotes:
- production of collagen and elastin;
- alignment of the facial contour;
- increasing the elasticity of the dermis;
- getting rid of dark circles in the eye area;
After injection of the active solution, blood flow increases in the epidermal tissues, metabolic processes accelerate, and hyaluronic acid is synthesized faster. As a result, the skin becomes more hydrated, signs of irritation and darkening under the eyes disappear.
The main defects requiring elimination are:
- Wrinkles;
- Dark circles;
- Bags;
- Edema.
For the area around the eyes, use delicate products with a pronounced moisturizing effect. Only a doctor of the appropriate specialization can select the appropriate drug and prescribe a course.
For wrinkles
As a rule, the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes is caused by dehydration of the skin and the negative effects of the sun. Therefore, preference should be given to products with hyaluronic acid.
If mesotherapy is carried out for a woman over 30 years old, amino acids for collagen synthesis and B vitamins are added to this component. After 40 years, peptides and a complex of nucleotides are also introduced.
For dark circles under the eyes
Products with hyaluronic acid help fight dark circles.
Experts do not recommend adding any other components to avoid swelling and other unwanted side effects.
Leading cosmetologists of Moscow clinics recommend the line of German Belotero Balance products, which have an optimal degree of density and viscosity.
For bags under the eyes
Mesotherapy cannot eliminate the "bag" completely, but it will make it less noticeable. The less pronounced the problem, the better the result will be.
Usually this is a course of injections with meso-cocktails, which help equalize metabolism in the eye area.
For edema
Swelling under the eyes has a completely different nature than bags, since they are not fatty formations. A different approach is required to fix the problem.
First of all, you need to consult a therapist, endocrinologist or other specialized specialist to determine the cause of eye swelling. Making a diagnosis will determine the feasibility of mesotherapy.
The most effective products are those containing proteins. Because they help activate lymph outflow and improve intracellular metabolism. And they help remove excess fluid from the body.
Types of mesotherapy for the skin around the eyes
Depending on the method of exposure to the skin, classical and needle-free mesotherapy are distinguished.
The classic method involves subcutaneous administration of the drug. In some cases, after the injection, an allergic reaction in the form of irritation, hematomas and small bruises at the puncture sites may occur.
The active composition used in mesotherapy includes specially selected medications with the addition of hyaluronic and glycolic acids and a vitamin-mineral complex.
A variation of the classical method is currently quite popular fractional mesotherapy of the skin around the eyes. When performing this procedure, a special attachment with twelve microneedles of different lengths is used. Thanks to this, several punctures are made simultaneously.
An alternative option for the procedure is correction by applying electric current to problem areas. This method is called electroporation, or needle-free mesotherapy. In this case, special preparations are used that are applied to the skin in the eye area. During the procedure, under the influence of electric current, active substances enter the upper layers of the epidermis. They consist of molecules with a heterogeneous structure, due to which particles of substances penetrate into different layers of the skin.
Types of mesotherapy for the skin around the eyes
Depending on the penetration of meso-cocktails under the skin, two types of procedures are distinguished:
- Injection;
- Injection-free.
The classic method of treating dermal problems is to inject the drug under the skin by puncturing it. In modern cosmetology, fractional mesotherapy around the eyes is popular, which shows good results. It consists of repeated microinjections into the problem area of the skin. The procedure is safe, but it is not suitable for everyone, since in some cases allergies may develop at the puncture site and bruises may occur.
Many people refuse to do mesotherapy for dark circles under the eyes because they are afraid of injections. For this reason, a non-injection method of introducing meso-cocktails under the skin was developed.
Penetration of substances into the dermis occurs:
- Electric waves and cold;
- Laser;
- DC discharge;
- Magnetic waves;
- Oxygen;
- Ultrasonic vibrations.
It should be borne in mind that needle-free mesotherapy of the eyelids saturates the skin with active substances superficially. Due to the insufficient penetration of mesosolutions, this type is less effective compared to injection treatment.
Injection mesotherapy: how it works
The thin skin around the eyelids is extremely vulnerable and susceptible to harmful factors. Its condition is affected by eye strain during work, prolonged exposure to bright sun or frost, lack of sleep, and stress.
With age, metabolic processes in tissues slow down, the skin becomes dry, fine wrinkles and dark circles appear. To cope with these problems, you need a product that combines effectiveness and gentleness. Injection mesotherapy meets these conditions.
The drugs are removed using a thin needle into the dermis. This is the middle layer of the skin, responsible for its elasticity and moisture level.
- Collagen;
- Proteins;
- Hyaluronic acid;
- Elastin.
During life, the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of these substances change, which affects the condition of the skin. The essence of mesotherapy is that the injected drug replenishes the deficiency of the substance and activates the desired effect (smoothing, moisturizing, etc. ).
For injections around the eyes, 3 main components are used.
- Hyaluronic acid – promotes skin hydration and regeneration;
- Vitamins – have antioxidant properties, inhibit the destruction of collagen fibers and promote collagen production;
- Peptides - slow down the aging of skin cells, improve its nutrition and blood supply.
Mesotherapy is a simple and painless procedure. First, the skin around the eyes is treated with a special anesthetic cream. Then the drug selected by the doctor is injected with a thin needle. The procedure is completed by applying a soothing mask to prevent irritation.
The effect of mesotherapy depends on the severity of the problem and the competence of the specialist performing the procedure.
Recommendations for use
Before using the procedure, you should consult a specialist.
Mesotherapy is contraindicated for certain diseases:
- Bleeding disorders;
- Kidney failure;
- Cholelithiasis;
- Skin diseases;
- Allergic reactions to substances contained in the drug;
- Vascular pathology;
- Acute febrile condition.
In addition, eye mesotherapy is contraindicated during menstruation and in the third trimester of pregnancy.
It is important for the procedure to be successful.
- Do not use decorative cosmetics the day before the procedure;
- 3 days before the visit to the cosmetologist, stop taking aspirin, as well as painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs;
- Perform superficial skin peeling a few days before the procedure.
It should be borne in mind that mesatherapy does not imply 1-2 procedures, but a whole course, which should be repeated every six months to maintain the effect.
Preparations for mesotherapy of the skin around the eyes
The skin around the eyes is overly sensitive and easily injured. When caring for it, you need to use only gentle products. Based on this, experts are developing special preparations that are not only able to smooth out unevenness, but also have a delicate effect.
As mentioned above, the basis of the therapeutic solution used in mesotherapy is a vitamin-mineral complex, which helps eliminate dark circles under the eyes, and glycolic and hyaluronic amino acids, due to the influence of which skin unevenness is smoothed. In this case, the amount of active ingredients and additional components is determined individually and depends on the characteristics of the patient’s dermis and the general state of his health.
The skin of the eyelids is very delicate and easily injured, so it needs care using gentle products. For mesotherapy for the dermis around the eyes, Dermahil preparations, which are distinguished by their delicate properties, are effective.
The choice of composition of injection solutions depends on the patient’s age and the degree of skin problems. Cosmetologists use mono-products or cocktails containing a chain of mono-components.
The solutions include the following ingredients:
- Vitamins (stop age-related tissue sagging, improve skin color);
- Hyaluronic acid (eliminates fine and deep wrinkles);
- Vasodilators (enrich the skin with oxygen);
- Glycolic acid (evens out the color of the dermis, eliminates bags under the eyes);
- Peptides (activate collagen production, tighten skin).
Swelling and bruising may occur after some medications are administered. This is an allergic reaction caused by the body's intolerance to certain components. To ensure the safety of the procedure, it is necessary to do allergy tests to eliminate negative consequences.
How is mesotherapy performed for the skin around the eyes?
The average session time is about half an hour. Depending on the condition of the skin, a full course of rejuvenation requires from three to eight procedures, between which it is necessary to take breaks of 7–10 days.
The procedure begins with cleansing the skin of makeup, surface impurities, and dust using cosmetics. Then the skin is disinfected with an antiseptic solution.
To make the procedure painless for the patient, the doctor treats the skin areas with an anesthetic gel or cream. Next, the problem area is subjected to pinpoint injections and injection of drugs.
After the injections, the skin is again disinfected with an antiseptic. At the end of the procedure, the dermis is moisturized with creams.
It is recommended to undergo a full-fledged mesotherapy program around the eyes so that the result between "before" and "after" is clearly noticeable. On average, eliminating skin defects requires from 4 to 10 sessions, with a break between them of 3-7 days.
A mesotherapy session consists of several steps:
- It is necessary to cleanse the skin of cosmetics and possible contaminants. For this purpose, special antiseptic agents are used.
- Then the cosmetologist numbs the skin around the eyes using anesthesia.
- Next, you need to inject the rejuvenating solution into the problem areas. Injections are made using a syringe or a special device. The drug is injected pointwise, filling each fold of the skin. The depth of the needle depends on the depth of the wrinkles.
- With the needle-free method of mesotherapy, an active biological product is applied to the areas requiring correction, after which the skin is exposed to electric current, ultrasound or laser.
- At the end of the main part of the procedure, the dermis must again be treated with an antiseptic, a mask and cream with a moisturizing effect must be applied.
- After the end of the session, the specialist will recommend care products during the recovery process to eliminate unwanted reactions.
At what age can you do mesotherapy for the skin around the eyes?
A network of wrinkles in the eye area forms quite early. Small folds on and around the sensitive and thin skin of the eyelids appear when we smile, frown, squint at the sun or blink. Traces of these emotions remain on the face from an early age. Thus, when deciding whether it is time or not to undergo a mesotherapy procedure, it is necessary to start not from age, but from the appearance of the skin.
A cosmetologist will help you choose the treatment option that is optimal for a particular patient, taking into account the condition of the dermis, the presence and nature of irregularities and the depth of the folds. Some suffer from swelling, some often develop dark circles on their face, while others already in their youth develop a network of small but quite noticeable wrinkles in the corners of their eyes. A professional will identify the problem and tell you how to get rid of it.
Typically, mesotherapy treatment is prescribed to women over 30 years of age. But in some cases this technique is recommended at an earlier age. For example, meso-cocktails help get rid of acne, which often appears in adolescence.
There is an opinion that it is better to postpone a trip to a beauty salon until a later date, and only mature people need corrective procedures. This is a serious misconception, due to which women under 40–50 years of age do not take proper care of the skin of their face and body, believing that when the problem becomes obvious and noticeable to others, one or two procedures will solve it and instantly help get rid of accumulatedyears of defects.
Taking care of your skin for a beautiful appearance and youthful glow is a "job" that needs to be done throughout your life. You should always take care of your skin, promptly responding to problems. The condition of the dermis is influenced by heredity, our habits, the environment and other external factors.
Mesotherapy for the skin around the eyes has no age restrictions. But it is worth remembering that this is a medical procedure and it has a number of contraindications, and it should only be prescribed by a specialist and only for certain problems.
Indications and contraindications for mesotherapy of the skin around the eyes
When anti-aging creams and masks stop helping, and corrective products do not bring the desired effect in the fight against puffiness and bruises under the eyes, it is worth visiting a cosmetologist’s office.
You must sign up for a mesotherapy procedure when:
- small wrinkles appeared in the corners of the eyes;
- the skin of the lower eyelids looks darker;
- swelling and swelling in the eye area;
- the skin of the upper eyelid has become flabby;
- bruises under the eyes are noticeable in the morning;
- age wrinkles appeared.
With the help of mesotherapy, all these symptoms can be eliminated. But it is worth remembering that the occurrence of skin defects is not a disease, but an external manifestation of an internal problem - a malfunction in the normal functioning of some organs.
Before mesotherapy, it is necessary to consult with a professional doctor, who will definitely study the patient’s medical record, take an anamnesis and, only after making sure that skin defects are not a sign of a serious pathology requiring more radical and emergency therapy, will prescribe a cosmetic procedure.
There are contraindications for which mesotherapy cannot be performed:
- period of pregnancy and lactation;
- presence of cancer;
- allergy to the components of the active drug.
Mesotherapy will achieve the desired result only if it is approached with full responsibility and all possible complications are taken into account. However, some side effects may not be avoidable, but they will not be as significant.
Possible side effects and complications after mesotherapy for the skin around the eyes
Side effects after the procedure may include:
- Irritation of the skin around the eyes;
- Small wounds and hematomas.
Usually, these consequences pass quickly and leave no traces some time after the session. When prescribing mesotherapy, the specialist will inform you during what period the procedure should be performed in order to minimize side effects.
If you follow the methodology for performing mesotherapy in the paraorbital area, the risk of negative consequences is low. Minor side effects are possible, which go away on their own after a couple of days and do not require medical intervention:
- Redness of the skin;
- Minor bruises in the affected area;
- Mild swelling at the puncture sites.
According to reviews of mesotherapy around the eyes, complications may arise after the procedure if the cosmetologist did not take into account the individual characteristics of the patient:
- The appearance of lumps on the skin that do not dissolve on their own for several days;
- Severe redness of the skin;
- The appearance of hematomas;
- Allergic reactions;
- Skin atrophy.
Using the services of dubious clinics, there is a risk of complications if the cosmetologist violates the mesotherapy technique:
- Painful sensations;
- State of discomfort;
- Development of inflammatory processes;
- Worsening of chronic diseases;
- Infection.
Sometimes side effects occur due to the patient’s own mistakes if he does not follow the cosmetologist’s recommendations after the procedure. Be sure to follow your doctor's advice and have your face treated only by qualified professionals.
Let's get acquainted with the basic rules that must be followed during the recovery period after the session.
Recommendations for rehabilitation after mesotherapy of the skin around the eyes
During the rehabilitation period, exposure to ultraviolet rays should be avoided; facial skin should not be overheated or overcooled. Before going outside, it is necessary to apply a moisturizing SPF with an index of at least 30 units to the treated areas.
If you follow the doctor’s recommendations, any negative consequences of the mesotherapy procedure will disappear within a couple of days, and the recovery process will be completely completed in a few days.
Here are some general expert tips for this period:
- In the first 24 hours, wash your face only with warm (not hot! ) water.
- Completely stop using cosmetics during the first two days after injections.
- Use sunglasses and other sun protection.
- In the first days, avoid exposure to UV rays on the skin.
- Refuse to visit the sauna, bathhouse, or swimming pool for a week.
- Do not rub your eyes or the skin around them, even if you feel itching or tingling.
In everyday life, special attention should be paid to such an accessory as sunglasses. Do not forget that the skin ages not from age, but from exposure to ultraviolet rays. That is why the use of drugs with a high degree of protection is a more effective method of combating the appearance of wrinkles than any anti-aging cream. Sunglasses are also a good remedy against uneven skin around the eyes. They must be worn not only during the rehabilitation period after a cosmetic procedure, but also at any other time when the sun is shining.
Is it possible to do mesotherapy for the skin around the eyes at home?
Nowadays, on the market of cosmetic devices you can find a special device called a mesoscooter, with which you can accelerate the metabolic process, increase blood circulation and regenerate epidermal cells. The device consists of a pen and a roller with metal needles. As a result of its use, micropores are formed on the facial skin, due to which biologically active substances penetrate deep into the dermis. When performing mesotherapy on your own, you use products enriched with amino acids, vitamins and minerals that fill uneven areas, nourish the skin and increase its elasticity.
Mesotherapy is a medical procedure and therefore requires professional qualifications and experience. Carrying out the procedure on your own can cause damage to the highly sensitive skin around the eyes.
There is a device for home mesotherapy - a mesoroller, which is a roller with needles. However, the effectiveness of this method is much lower than salon procedures.
To prevent punctures from injuring the epidermis, mesoscooters are equipped with the finest needles, the diameter of which does not exceed 0. 2 mm. Since the procedure involves violating the integrity of the skin, the device must be sterilized before and after use.
Mesotherapy is a popular cosmetic procedure that has a rejuvenating effect. But it is worth remembering that in order to achieve the desired result and avoid complications during and after the session, it should be carried out by professional doctors in specialized clinics and medical centers that provide relevant services. When using the method at home, you must consult with a specialist in advance and use high-quality and proven equipment and products.
How much does mesotherapy for the skin around the eyes cost in a beauty salon?
It is difficult to give even an approximate cost of the service, since in each specific case the number of procedures is determined individually. The price of the service also depends on the clinic you choose, the equipment used and the drugs used during the procedure.
Nowadays, you no longer have to spend a lot of time performing complex and unpleasant procedures at home. It is much easier to seek help from real professionals in a specialized center equipped with efficient and modern equipment.
