How to get rid of expression wrinkles around the eyes, on the forehead, near the mouth?

Wrinkles under the eyes may appear earlier than in other areas, because the skin here is thin, devoid of fat, and constantly forced to withstand significant loads. At risk for the appearance of deep wrinkles around the eyes are women and men with very active facial expressions and those who like to squint constantly. Fine wrinkles under the eyes can appear as early as 20-25 years old; over time they only become deeper and more noticeable. Stress, bad habits, and negative heredity accelerate the manifestation of age-related changes. You have two options - either leave everything as it is, or start fighting with age.

DRUGS AND DEVICES USED IN THE CENTER FOR THE PROCEDURE

The following methods can effectively and quickly remove wrinkles under the eyes:

1. Anti-wrinkle eye mesotherapy eliminates even very deep furrows and is carried out by injection using cocktails. A needle or cannula is used to administer drugs.
2. Dermadrop is a non-injection mesotherapy.
3. Biorevitalization is aimed at filling folds with hyaluronic acid.
4. Botulinum therapy (BTA) – botulinum blocks nerve impulses, resulting in the disappearance of expression wrinkles in the eyes.

Other methods of rejuvenation are fractional resurfacing, laser peeling, TCA chemical peeling. You can use these methods independently or in combination to improve results.

Chemical peeling as a means of combating wrinkles

You are probably familiar with peeling. This is the removal of the upper layer of the epidermis with all the excess that has accumulated on it and indirect stimulation of the deeper layers. Particularly effective for removing age spots, acne, dead, excess dead skin cells.

It would seem, what does wrinkles have to do with it? The fact is that this very effective cleansing procedure simultaneously triggers natural regeneration processes. And the skin becomes more elastic - small wrinkles are smoothed out, and large ones become less noticeable. Therefore, peeling can also be called a means of combating age-related and facial imperfections.

PREPARATION FOR THE PROCEDURE, REHABILITATION, CONTRAINDICATIONS

To remove wrinkles under the eyes after 40 years or at an earlier age (from 25-30 years), you do not need to give up your usual lifestyle, but you need to make some adjustments to improve the results of the procedure and minimize possible side effects. 2 weeks before and a month after the procedure, you need to stop visiting solariums, beaches, and increased physical activity; stop taking blood thinning medications a week or at least 3-4 days. After rejuvenation, you should not sunbathe, visit baths, saunas, or use decorative cosmetics. Contraindications – acute and chronic diseases, pathological changes in the epidermis in the area, cancer, other serious pathologies, lactation and pregnancy. There are also relative contraindications - they are rather precautionary measures.

Homemade facial skin care

Skin rejuvenation for men should be carried out using home care products in combination with cosmetic procedures. For home care:

• Cleanse your skin regularly with special products. Mandatory care products include: cleansing gel, toner and cream. Many men use aftershave lotions containing alcohol. Such lotions dry out the skin, disrupting its structure. When choosing an aftershave cosmetic, it is important to ensure that it does not contain alcohol. It is better to use a moisturizer after shaving and washing your face. The choice of men's cosmetics is much smaller than that of women's. You can use feminine care products, but it is better to choose those that are intended for combination and oily skin. It is recommended to choose cosmetic products from the same line and it is better to consult with a good cosmetologist. Proper care helps nourish and moisturize the skin, as well as avoid oily shine and rashes.
• Water balance. The daily norm is considered to be 2 liters of water, or at least 1.5 liters per day. Juices, tea and coffee do not count. Water nourishes skin cells and prolongs youth. If you add lemon juice and mint to water, toxins will be more actively removed from the body, metabolism and the immune system will improve.
• Quitting bad habits such as excessive drinking and smoking. Within a month, men's skin will acquire a lighter and healthier appearance, and swelling will go away.

For men, as well as women, to rejuvenate their facial skin, it is recommended to make moisturizing and nourishing masks. At home, a parsley mask is good for oily skin. Grind 40-50 g of greens. Pour a glass of milk and bring to a boil. After the mask has cooled, strain and apply to the face. Effect: smoothing wrinkles, reducing skin oiliness.

In order to tighten the pores, an oatmeal mask is recommended. Pour 2 tbsp. l. rolled oats with boiling water and cover with a lid for 20 minutes. Strain and apply for half an hour.

A mask made from cucumber, almond oil and yolk will help get rid of wrinkles. Grate the cucumber, add butter and yolk and beat. It’s good to keep the mask on for about 40 minutes.

To nourish the skin, use a mask of banana, yogurt, honey. Stir the ingredients and apply on the face for 10 minutes.

Causes of expression wrinkles

All our feelings and emotions are primarily reflected on the face. It seems to project an internal state. It is simple to explain this from a scientific point of view: the facial muscles are in close contact with the fibers of the skin, so they tend to react to any emotions. Throughout the day, various events happen to us, both positive and negative.

And the face reacts to all this: the muscles contract, and due to this, they are overstrained. The result of this tension is wrinkles.

But this is only a small part of the reasons that lead to wrinkles. There are others:

• Poor care and use of low-quality cosmetics. For example, our skin definitely needs hydration. If she doesn't receive it, then wrinkles form.
• Heredity. The type of skin and its tendency to develop all kinds of imperfections (including wrinkles) are transmitted to us at the genetic level.
• Stress. When we experience some negative emotions, we, as a rule, involuntarily tense and wrinkle our forehead and nose, lower the corners of our mouth, and move our eyebrows. The skin has the ability to remember facial expressions. During stressful situations, the level of adrenaline and the stress hormone (cortisol) increases in the body. Together they cause the skin to age faster.
• Lack of sleep. The skin simply does not have time to recover. If you constantly sleep poorly or do not get enough sleep, then it ceases to be elastic and ages.

• Use of harmful substances. The most common are, of course, alcoholic drinks and cigarettes. They dry out the skin and prevent nutrients and vitamins from being absorbed properly.
• Frequent exposure to direct sunlight. Ultraviolet light accelerates the aging process of the skin, making it dry and inelastic.
• Age-related changes. They start at age 25. Little by little, the skin loses elasticity, moisture and is much less resistant to external influences.

Botox injection sites to eliminate wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. Number of injections

Instead of Botox, you can use its analogues, which give the same result. The number of units of botulinum toxin administered depends on the drug used and the condition of the tissues in the periorbital area.

Correction of facial wrinkles with botulinum toxin

In all the variety of cosmetic procedures, Botox injections for the correction of facial wrinkles should be highlighted.

Some medicines, completely unexpectedly for their creator, turned out to be useful in places completely different from those originally intended. “Botox” (the exact name is botulinum toxin A) is just such a drug. Back in 1982, it was conceived as a remedy to help cope with strabismus, and even had already undergone the first clinical trials. It was during the test that it turned out that it helps muscle fibers contract less.

The result was amazing: the muscles responsible for facial expressions relaxed, and this effect was observed for several months. At the same time, the muscles received a sufficient amount of blood and worked as usual. Experts have concluded that this drug is safe and can be used for cosmetic purposes.

It took another eight years before Botox became popular. It received its widespread use in 1993 after the publication of Professor Blitzer on the use of the drug to eliminate wrinkles in the face and neck. From that moment until, for example, 2002, the demand for Botox increased sixfold. By the way, “Botox” is a special name for botulinum toxin A, invented for sales. After this, the procedure itself received this name.

There is another drug for the correction of facial wrinkles - Dysport. Let's figure out what it is and what it has to do with Botox. Let's start with the fact that if Botox has long taken a leading position in the cosmetology market, then Dysport has just declared itself. In fact, it is absolutely identical to Botox, only produced by a different pharmaceutical company. They have one main component, botulinum toxin type A + hemagglutinin in the required consistency. Their only and main difference is the substances used in the manufacturing process. If Botox has sodium chloride, then Dysport has lactose.

These drugs are also produced using different technologies. But this information is unknown for certain, since both manufacturers hide the manufacturing technology. Another significant difference is the dosage of the active substance per bottle. "Botox" contains a smaller amount (only 100 units), but "Dysport" contains much more (300-500 units).

There is no consensus yet on which drug is the most effective. What exactly to choose for the procedure is up to the client or cosmetologist to decide. In Russia, both Botox and Dysport are permitted and widely used in cosmetic procedures.

With the help of these drugs you can reduce the number of wrinkles. You can smooth out absolutely any, located on different areas of the skin of the face:

• on the forehead (horizontal creases);
• between the eyebrows (vertical);
• on the bridge of the nose (horizontal);
• in the corners of the eyes;
• above the upper lip;
• on the chin.

With the help of Botox, you can also eliminate blemishes and rejuvenate the skin of the neck and décolleté. You will be able to see the final result 2 weeks after the procedure. But some changes will be noticeable after a few days. To remove the drug from the body, you do not need to take any additional steps; it gradually leaves on its own after about six months or a year. The amount of the drug administered (in units) determines how long the effect will last.

But, as before any serious procedure, proper preparation is needed here. Be sure to read the list of contraindications. It's quite extensive. As a rule, professional cosmetologists will talk with you in advance, examine the condition of your skin, the places where you plan to inject the drug, and discuss all contraindications. Only after this you will receive permission for the procedure.
