When meeting a person, we first look at his face. By the nature of the location of wrinkles, one can say about age, personal qualities, and even about what emotions a person experiences. The skin around the eyes is one of the most sensitive areas of the body. Therefore, modern women seek to care for and tone the eyelid region in a timely manner. Eye lifting is a method to prevent and minimize skin aging. It is no secret that most women use numerous creams that claim to have a miraculous effect on delicate skin, but do not always cope with the task. It was then that such an effective procedure as lifting the skin around the eyes came to the rescue.
At home
Beauticians recommend starting skin care from the age of 25, as the skin around the eyes does not produce fat, therefore it is the thinnest and susceptible to external environmental factors. Care should be systematic, preferably in the morning and evening. You can also resort to plastic surgery, a rather radical method, but able to instantly tighten the skin. There are some drawbacks here: the operation requires preparation, rehabilitation, and it is also very expensive.
(SPA) methods, various cosmetic procedures are also quite effective way suspender. In the modern world, creamy, serum, gel products come to the aid of women. Here it is advisable to trust a cosmetologist and, taking into account the characteristics of the skin, choose the appropriate product.
When the initial signs of aging are manifested, it is recommended to use slightly traumatic types of lifting, since at this stage the effect will be greatest. Signs that you should start the procedure are the appearance of slightly identified wrinkles on the eyelid (both upper and lower), folds or bags under the eyes, overhanging of the upper eyelid, drooping eyebrows.
Please note that funds with a lifting effect must be applied without pressure, without injuring the skin.
Easy care should be for young skin, and in adulthood it is necessary to use lifting creams.

- increase the tone of the skin of the eyelids;
- minimization of puffiness;
- wrinkle removal;
- nourishing and moisturizing the delicate skin around the eyes;
- comprehensive maintenance of the effect after lifting.
The constituent components may be different, but the basic ones are almost always:
- vitamin base (vitamin A synthesizing collagen fibers), E, C (antioxidant that protects against UV rays);
- acids (hyaluronic hydrates and softens the skin, alpha-hydroxy acid promotes the renewal of skin cells, removes age spots, alpha-lipoic acid fights cosmetic defects);
- enzymes (coenzyme Q10 fights against aging and provides immune defense);
- fruit acids, plant extracts, oils.
Effectiveness Methods
In order for the lifting procedures to have the maximum tightening effect on the skin, is worth consider the following methods to increase efficiency:
- the application of the drug is carried out from the nose to the fixed eyelid, then move to the lower eyelid - to the bridge of the nose, without touching the region of the moving eyelid;
- we do not injure the skin, we apply funds by patting the ring fingers;

Home recipe
If you don’t feel like going for an eyelid operation, try to improve the condition of the skin around the eyes with the help of homemade Cleopatra Cream. To do this, mix 4 tsp. aloe juice, 50 ml of rose water and 20 ml of pure water. The mixture is heated in a water bath, and in the process of heating with constant stirring, interior fat or lard (120 g) is gradually added. Store the finished cream in sterile jars in the refrigerator. Apply it to the skin around the eyes in the morning and evening.
Features in the salons
In addition to home care, there is non-surgical lifting, including injections, hardware lifting, thread lifting, fillers. Here it is necessary to take into account that Botox injections and biorevitalization are preventive methods, Botox freezes facial muscles without smoothing them. Biorevitalization rejuvenates the skin and is effective in treating small wrinkles, the result of this procedure is short-term, course treatment is necessary at least twice a year.
When thread lifting (pulling the skin with threads), materials such as gold or platinum threads are used, which create a skeleton and skin elasticity effect. The threads are set in the opposite direction, fixed with notches, thereby ensuring their fixation.
The advantages of thread reinforcement are:
- maximizing blood circulation in tissues and stimulating cellular processes inside under the influence of precious metals;
- gold prevents the formation of free radicals;
- long action of gold and platinum mesh.
According to reviews, a person after such a procedure is absolutely close to natural. The rehabilitation period is only a couple of days. There are no seams and cuts.
It should be noted that the use of threads has a preventive purpose, they are not able to tighten and strengthen, can not cope with the load of reinforcement.After fifty years, the effect of the release of threads is possible, since when this age is reached, the skin around the eyes becomes thinner.
Hardware lifting includes procedures using various equipment (ultrasound, radio waves, laser fitting, darsonval, photorejuvenation). Such procedures involve intense thermal action with activation of cell processes, improved blood supply, reduction of collagen fibers and wrinkles, and exposure to electromagnetic pulses.
RF lifting allows you to start the process of collagen production, rejuvenation, thereby regenerating the natural collagen in the cells and membranes of the epidermis. The result of RF lifting is long-lasting. The result of RF lifting can be increased with the use of biorevitalization and mesotherapy. This method is suitable for everyone, without age restrictions. At the initial stage of skin aging, collagen recovery is much faster, and therefore the result will be better. Wrinkles nevertheless become less deep, the skin becomes radiant and toned.
The result largely depends on the reaction of the skin to the procedure, therefore there is no guaranteed result, it is important to understand that there are individual characteristics that can give a more or less obvious effect. But in any case, there will be a positive effect, firmness and elasticity will increase, eyes will become more expressive.
Thus, the following advantages of RF lifting can be distinguished:
- fast manifestation of the result;
- security;
- painlessness;
- no risk of infection;
- duration up to 3 years;
- lack of a rehabilitation period, restrictions on age and time of year for lifting.
After the procedure, it is advisable not to use cosmetics, creams, avoid exposure to UV rays, or visit a sauna for 3-5 days. With eyelid lifting, the eyeball is not affected, but this procedure requires the presence of a highly specialized doctor. The skin is very thin, so there is a certain risk to the eyes. An RF lifting session lasts about half an hour. For a sustained long-term effect, three to seven sessions will be required with two-week intervals. The required amount is set by the doctor.
Specialists identify contraindications to this procedure:
- disorders of the thyroid gland;
- pregnancy;
- lactation stage;
- hypertension;
- malignant tumors;
- metal implants;
- diabetes;
- cardiovascular disease.
In addition to the above, there is also an operational method of skin lifting - surgical eyelid lift. Blepharoplasty is an operation performed in a hospital under general anesthesia. This method urgently requires a thorough examination to identify contraindications. After the operation, the patient is in the hospital for up to 3 days, and rehabilitation as a whole will require at least 2 months. Consequently, the operational method is used mainly when other methods of lifting are impractical.
Surgical eyelid lift, as a rule, is not performed for patients older than 60 years.
