The Skin Around the Eyes - envie.co.uk (2024)

The Skin is formed of 3 main layers, the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous layer. Each layer has its own function and nutrient activity. The skin around the eyes is the thinnest skin we have on our entire bodies. The skin around the eyes is also the most delicate skin and can be difficult to treat. As the ageing process develops signs of ageing can become prominent around the eyes.

Wrinkles around the eyes are one of the first signs of ageing that appear on our faces. These small ones, often called crow’s feet, can already appear in women at avery young age. Can wrinkles be minimised? Yes, and with minimally invasive methods. Check.

Wrinkles under the eyes – where do they come from?

Why are wrinkles formed around the eyes? As it is not difficult to guess, it is primarily about the started ageing processes. No one can avoid this, although there is no denying that in some wrinkles will be smaller, and in some, they will be larger. With age, the skin, not only the one around the eyes, loses the ability to produce collagen. What is collagen? It is aprotein responsible for the elasticity and elasticity of the skin. In healthy, young skin, collagen takes the form of “springs”. Over time, however, it is damaged. It ceases to curl and thus – no longer fulfils the same function as before. Skin that is becoming less and less elastic cannot quickly return to asafe state. As aresult, wrinkles are formed.

It is also worth adding that the skin around the eyes tends to dry out. It is very thin and delicate. It does not contain sebaceous glands and afatty layer. You also need to pay attention to mast cells – cells responsible for allergic reactions. You already know why it is the skin around the eyes that first lets you know about the reaction not only to new cosmetic products but also to strong fragrances or impurities.

The skin around the eyes is very sensitive – susceptible not only to the appearance of wrinkles but also to bruising or excess water.

The facial expressions of our faces are also responsible for the formation of wrinkles. More than once you have probably heard not to squint because it will end up with the formation of wrinkles. Indeed, there is something in it – often ruffled skin will “repay” with wrinkles. We can’t stop our facial expressions. And even if – it would certainly be very difficult and burdensome.

Treatments for wrinkles around the eyes

Here is alist of safe and proven treatments that are worth considering in the fight against wrinkles.

Treatments based on hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is asubstance that occurs naturally in our body. Its most important task is to bind water molecules. This preparation is valued in aesthetic medicine for maintaining an appropriate level of hydration. No wonder that it is often used to revitalize the skin or reduce wrinkles. The effects of using this method last up to half ayear.

Needle mesotherapy

Why is it worth considering needle mesotherapy? This is agreat method aimed at regeneration, nourishment or hydration of the skin around the eyes. Aspecialist in aesthetic medicine selects the appropriate substances individually for the patient. It administers them intradermally to aspecific place on the skin, e.g. around the eyes. Often used in the method of needle mesotherapy, the preparation is platelet-rich plasma.

Botox

Botox is agreat way to reduce mimic wrinkles. Already avery small (and thus safe dose) paralyzes the mimic muscles, which are responsible for the formation of wrinkles.

HIFU

How about an ultrasonic facelift? This method is recommended primarily for people with lowered eyebrows or excess upper eyelid (or drooping eyelid). It is also perfect for kinks and small wrinkles of the lower eyelids or the famous crow’s feet.

PDO threads

Another very effective therapy, which is not only effective or safe, but also long-lasting. The task of the threads administered under the skin is the process of neocollagenesis, i.e. the production of new collagen, which helps the skin regain tension and firmness.

Laser treatments

Laser treatments for wrinkles? Absolutely! Laser treatments have agreat rejuvenating or smoothing effect. Specialists use laser light pulses here, which provide excellent results after just one treatment. The laser light reaches deep and induces strong regenerative processes. Thus, collagen production is stimulated.

There are many great treatments to help reduce the signs of ageing. It is always best to have areputable clinic and to have athorough consultation. This way the treating practitioner can find out about your daily habits and lifestyle before implanting atreatment plan. Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers need to be carried out in the most safest way possible therefore we recommend that you seek advice from anurse or doctor who is specialised in these fillers and botox.
