Today, many surgical and non-surgical treatments for saggy, tired and aging skin are available. The choice of the method of rejuvenation will depend on the type of violation with which we are dealing. For example:

• The withering skin of the upper eyelids may need to be lifted due to weakening of the muscles and the formation of excess skin.
• Lower eyelids may require treatment of thinning skin and eliminate swelling, as well as removal of fatty bags.
• Dark circles under the eyes need separate procedures.

Volume and hydration

The most effective, but at the same time, an easy way to make the smooth skin around the eyes - injectable fillers. They give the skin a natural look and help to fight with sunken eyes. Also, fillers can improve the condition of the circles under the eyes, however, they are not able to fight the fat body.

There are several types of specially developed gel based hyaluronic acid( Teoxane Redesnsity II, Anteis Esthetis and Restylane), with which you can reduce the number of wrinkles around the eyes.

Laser skin rejuvenation

Laser surgery is a non-invasive method to tighten the skin around the eyes. Rejuvenation of Flaxel or CO2 laser will help to gradually and very gently restore the youthfulness of the skin of the eyelids. It can be used in parallel with surgical techniques or excipients.

Important! At the microscopic level, lasers are able to cause thermal sensations of the skin, to which the skin immediately reacts by healing and dropping of old cells, and new cells appear instead.

Also CO2 laser is able to improve the elasticity of the skin, its structure and reduce fine or deep wrinkles, freckles and acne scars.

Surgical methods

If non-surgical methods can not give the desired result, then blepharoplasty is used( surgery to reduce eyelids).This procedure is the most effective way to achieve a beautiful appearance.

The surgeon makes very small incisions under the eyes and eyelids, removes excess fat and performs skin tightening, and then sutures cuts. Removing fat under the eyes significantly reduces swelling.

Important! Also, surgery allows you to remove sagging eyelids, but it does not fight with overhanging eyebrows or dark circles - these problems should be eliminated separately.
