From the age of 30, it is common to start noticing the first signs of aging, with the area around the eyes being one of the first to show such signs.
Symptoms such as a tired expression, pronounced dark circles, bags, and sagging eyelids begin to become evident. The eyes play a crucial role in social interactions, acting as a calling card. Thus, the presence of wrinkles in this region can be a concern for many people. However, there are solutions available.
How do wrinkles of the aging eye appear?
The process of facial aging begins at a certain stage of life, influenced by factors such as genetics, preventive care, and specific skin characteristics, which can determine the intensity of wrinkle formation.
Over time, degenerative changes occur in the collagen and elastin fibers present in the dermis. Additionally, there is atrophy of the muscles responsible for facial expression, changes in bone structure, and reorganization of facial fat.
These transformations can result in the formation of wrinkles, characterized by visible depressions on the skin’s surface.
Why are wrinkles more visible in the eye area?
The skin around the eyes is particularly sensitive, delicate, and thinner compared to the rest of the face. This is why the first signs of aging tend to manifest in this area, showing wrinkles, expression lines, dark circles, and sagging.
Another factor that contributes to the visibility of wrinkles in this region is the constant movement of the eyelids throughout life, due to the rapid contraction of muscles to perform actions such as blinking or tearing.
Finally, the eye area has a large number of blood vessels that absorb products used daily, such as makeup, and is continuously exposed to environmental factors, such as sunlight and cold. These elements can accelerate the aging process if proper care and protection are not taken.
Are there procedures to treat this aging around the eyes?
Of course. There is a wide range of options that achieve good results:
- FOTONA Laser: This treatment uses laser technology to rejuvenate the skin, improving texture and reducing wrinkles and sagging. It is a non-invasive procedure and stimulates collagen production.
- PDO Thread Lifts: This method involves the application of polydioxanone (PDO) threads under the skin, providing an immediate lifting effect. These threads promote cell regeneration and collagen production, improving skin firmness.
- Hyaluronic Acid: The application of hyaluronic acid through injectable fillers can smooth fine lines and restore lost volume in the eye area. This treatment offers natural and long-lasting results.
- Botox: Injections of botulinum toxin, known as Botox, help relax the muscles responsible for expression wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother and more rejuvenated appearance.
- Skinboosters: This treatment involves injecting moisturizing substances into the skin, improving its quality, elasticity, and luminosity, resulting in a fresher and younger appearance.
- Microneedling: Microneedling uses small needles to create micro-lesions in the skin, thus stimulating collagen production and cell renewal. This procedure is effective in reducing wrinkles and improving skin texture.
- Peeling: Facial peeling is a treatment that involves the application of chemical solutions to promote skin renewal, reducing spots, wrinkles, and improving its texture and tone.
Each skin is unique, and therefore each case is different. A professional will help you understand which treatment is best for you. The sooner the treatment is started, the better and faster the results will appear.
Nowadays, aesthetic medicine is very advanced, and it is already possible to delay and mitigate the aging of the eyes.
We know that wrinkle-free skin and eyes free from that tired look are very important for the self-esteem of both women and men. More and more people are seeking to mitigate, or even eliminate, the effects of aging so that self-esteem returns and we can smile with our eyes again.
And how can we prevent wrinkles and aging eyes?
To minimize the formation of wrinkles in the eyelid area, it is recommended to:
- Wear sunglasses with UVA/UVB protection and apply specific sunscreen for the lower eyelids.
- Hydrate the area well with products and creams recommended by specialists.
- Avoid tobacco consumption and moderate alcohol consumption.
- Drink plenty of water, keeping ourselves hydrated.
