TOP 6 procedures for the skin around the eyes
Delicate skin around the eyes primarily betrays our age and lifestyle. Since people look directly into the eyes when communicating, we want this part of the face to be as well-groomed and young as possible.
To get a really good and long-lasting result, home care alone is often not enough. It is professional cosmetology procedures that help make the skin smoother, remove wrinkles, swelling and dark circles. We talk about the 6 best procedures for the area around the eyes in this article.
Features of the skin around the eyes
The first wrinkles on the skin around the eyes can appear as early as 30 years old. This is due to the fact that this zone has the thinnest and most mobile skin. The circular muscle of the eye is woven into the skin, and it is because of this that wrinkles form when laughing, squinting in the sun or working for a long time in front of a monitor. Often with age, the functions of the muscles can increase, as a result of which the eyes tire faster even without heavy loads.
All this leads to the fact that the muscle becomes more noticeable. This is manifested by dark circles under the eyes, puffiness or a drooping upper eyelid.
Modern cosmetology knows how to help smooth out age-related changes in the skin around the eyes or prevent their premature appearance. To determine the optimal treatment, the doctor conducts a thorough study of the patient’s skin condition and determines the stage of skin aging from 0 (no signs of aging) to 4 (strong age-related changes).
It should be noted that aesthetic cosmetology can achieve really good results if the skin is in the first stages of aging. More serious age-related skin changes will not be smoothed as well by hardware and injection procedures and usually require surgery.
The best injection procedures for the area around the eyes
Injection techniques are an important tool in the arsenal of Esteva Clinic doctors. Below we describe in detail the specifics of using each injection technique.
Botulinum toxin injections
For more than 40 years, botulinum therapy has been widely used by aesthetic medicine clinics to combat wrinkles. First of all, the drug is used in the areas around the eyes and lips, because that is where dynamic wrinkles first appear. One of the main advantages of the procedure is that the drug is excellent for preventing wrinkles and preventing age-related changes in the skin. To do this, you should sign up for the procedure from the age of 25.
The action of botulinum toxin is aimed at blocking the nerve impulse, which allows you to fix the circular muscle of the eye. At the same time, facial expressions are preserved, but become calmer and more restrained.
The injection procedure itself is very simple and clear. In just one visit to a cosmetologist, the skin around the eyes can change significantly. This requires only 6 microscopic punctures with a special needle and about 10 minutes of time for the entire procedure. The method is very careful, due to which the rehabilitation period is practically absent. The maximum result from the procedure will be noticeable 2 weeks after the injection and lasts for 4-6 months. It is recommended to use botulinum toxin twice a year.

Filler injections
In the case when static wrinkles appear on the face, botulinum toxin alone will not be enough. Then the cosmetologist offers to connect injections of fillers based on hyaluronic acid, which smooth the skin of the face. Soft filler Belotero Soft. is suitable for eliminating wrinkles in the area around the eyes.
This unique preparation is specially designed for the thin skin around the eyes and the elimination of small wrinkles. The filler is also introduced with the help of special thin needles. Although the procedure is very quick and takes no more than 15 minutes, for additional comfort, doctors offer local anesthesia with a cream.
As a resultafter the procedure, the skin around the eyes becomes smoother and moisturized. The effect is achieved thanks to the drug, which fills every wrinkle in the area of the procedure.
Fillers can be used as a one-time procedure. However, for the best effect, it is recommended to complete a course of 3 procedures with an interval of one month. The result of such a course will be stored for 6-12 months.
Read more about the procedure in the article “Blanching: filling wrinkles with filler“. Also, you can evaluate with your own eyes the results of Esteva Clinic patients before and after blanching.
Biorevitalization
Another injection method that perfectly copes with wrinkles on the eyelids. For biorevitalization in our clinic, the drug Rejuran, is used, which additionally helps fight puffiness around the eyes. The drug also improves skin color and is effective in combating dark circles under the eyes.
Rejuran does not cause side effects in the form of swelling, as it does not contain hyaluronic acid and consists of polynucleotides. As a result of injections, an active process of cell renewal and production of own collagen is launched. Externally, this manifests itself by leveling the tone and texture of the skin, which becomes healthier and more radiant.
Microinjections are performed with prior local anesthesia. The procedure itself is quick and as comfortable as possible – in 10-15 minutes the doctor completely treats the area around the eyes.
Biorevitalization is carried out in a course of 4 procedures with an interval of 2 weeks. The result will be noticeable already after the first procedure and lasts for 6-12 months, after which Rejuran biorevitalization can be repeated again.
If you want to know more details about the procedure, you will be interested in the article “Biorevitalization: deep moisturizing of the skin and smoothing of small wrinkles“. You can see photos before and after biorevitalization with Rejuran at the Esteva aesthetic medicine clinic below.
Mesotherapy
The last on our list is an injection procedure that is excellent for improving the condition of the skin around the eyes. Special preparations-cocktails consisting of many useful substances are used for injections. Today, the best tools for the procedure are RRS Eyes and Jalupro Young Eye, which contain a minimum amount of hyaluronic acid for hydration without swelling. The main powerful component is peptides and amino acids, which stimulate the production of collagen and protect against the premature formation of wrinkles.
Mesotherapy must be completed in a course of 4 procedures every 2 weeks. The effect will last for 10-12 months.
You can learn more about the procedure in our separate article “Mesotherapy: features, recommendations, contraindications, how many procedures are needed“.
Hardware methods for improving the skin around the eyes
To combat wrinkles around the eyes, clinics in Ukraine also offer a choice of several hardware procedures. At the Esteva clinic, we use 2 techniques that have proven to be the best for working with the delicate skin around the eyes.
SMAS lifting
The procedure allows you to influence the deep layers of the skin and muscles without damaging the integrity of the skin. Lifting is performed using the Ultraformer III device, which has a special nozzle for working with the area around the eyes.
The effect on the face is carried out using ultrasound. The depth and strength of the action is regulated by the doctor, while preventing tissue overheating. As a result, the necessary controlled heating occurs, which leads to the tightening of the skin and subcutaneous fat bags.
After the procedure, the condition of the skin around the eyes significantly improves – bags under the eyes, drooping eyelids and sagging become lesspronounced or completely disappear.
The procedure is completely comfortable, has no rehabilitation period and takes about 30 minutes. The effect will be noticeable immediately and will continue to grow for 3 months. SMAS lifting is recommended 2 times a year, to achieve the maximum result.
For those who want to learn even more details about the hardware method, the article “SMAS lifting ULTRAFORMER III”, and the result of the procedure can be estimated in the photo below.
CO2 laser grinding
Fractional polishing of the facial skin with a CO2 laser is considered the most popular cosmetology procedure in the world. This is due to the fact that the technique has a stunning effect, which usually has blepharoplasty (a rather serious surgical operation). That is why grinding is often called pseudoblepharoplasty – for its positive effect without complex rehabilitation.
During the procedure, the skin receives a controlled burn, the depth and strength of which is selected for each patient individually. In our clinic, the Adonyss device (USA) is used for the procedure.
Dwelling and redness will remain in the area around the eyes for the first few days, crusts will come off in another week. When the cleaning of the skin from crusts is completed, the face acquires a smooth tone and relief.
Depending on the condition of the skin, the procedure is recommended to be carried out with different frequency. For patients with minimal skin laxity and age-related changes in the eyelids, one visit to a cosmetologist per year is sufficient. The more severe the skin changes, the more often it is necessary to carry out the procedure – 2-3 times a year, a course of several procedures.
We talked about the procedure in more detail in our article “Laser grinding with a CO2 laser”.
In order to get the maximum result, cosmetologists recommend combining several methods. The doctor will be able to choose the optimal combination of injection and hardware procedures for the skin around the eyes during an individual consultation.
If you want to rejuvenate the skin around the eyes, you need to choose only the best aesthetic medicine clinic for an appointment.
