Representatives of the beautiful half of humanity from time immemorial have been doing everything to ensure that the first signs of aging visit them as late as possible. If previously natural materials were used for these purposes, now in the era of the development of modern technologies, a huge number of cosmetic products have been developed that help women to remain beautiful and young.

The area under the eyes is considered one of the most delicate, it is by it that the age of a woman is usually determined, which is produced by wrinkles, dark circles and especially bags and edema. Quite a large part of the beauty industry is aimed at helping ladies overcome this serious problem. There are creams, and masks, and concealers (as a decorative tool). Recently, patches with microneedles, which are also called “beauty commas,” have been especially popular.

In simple terms, a patch is a sticker that is impregnated with a special serum with active substances. It “sticks” under the eyes and has a powerful effect on the area that betrays your fatigue, sleepless nights.

The love for patches went to Russian girls from Asian women. Those have long been using this element of cosmetological progress and cannot imagine their beauty ritual without using these miraculous means.

Premium brands often favor materials such as silk or biocellulose.. The active substance is hyaluronic acid and other elements that provide lifting and skin rejuvenation.

It's obvious that ordinary patches are undeniably popular, however, cosmetologists have developed an effective tool that has truly unique properties - these are patches with microneedles. At the initial stages, similar technologies were used to administer vaccines and drugs through the skin, and later began to be used to maintain the beauty of a woman's face.

A filler with needles looks like there are hundreds of tiny needles on its “working” surface that, when in contact with the skin, come off the patch itself and deliver the beneficial substance directly to the dermis cells. Of course, these are not the needles that we used to understand by this word, and particles of the active ingredient, which is brought by experts to a solid state.
