What cosmetic procedures will help to cope with circles under the eyes? How often should they be done and why? And should you trust home care products?
Mesotherapy
Perhaps one of the most effective ways to get rid of dark circles under the eyes. “Ideally, you should choose mesotherapy with preparations based on hyaluronic acid, a complex of vitamins and amino acids that promote the production of collagen and elastin,” notes Veronika Fedorova, cosmetologist at Milfey Frunzenskaya beauty salon. “As a result, the tone and elasticity of the skin will increase, the lymph flow will be activated, pathological dilatations of the vessels of the venous system will be eliminated, due to which the dark bags under the eyes will disappear”. If you want to say goodbye to dark circles forever, then we recommend taking a course of three to four procedures once a year.
Cost: from 3000 r.
Biorevitalization
Biorevitalization is carried out, like mesotherapy, by injection and with the help of special cocktails. By the way, a more concentrated composition is used, which means that the number of necessary procedures is reduced (two or three sessions will be enough for a lasting effect). But there is also a drawback: due to the active components, the manifestation of allergic reactions is likely.
Cost: from 10,000 rubles.
Plasma therapy
In this case, plasma separated from the patient's blood is used as a cocktail. It has a rejuvenating effect, activates immune and metabolic processes, and stimulates the production of its own collagen. “Our task in this case is to improve lymph flow and lighten the skin,” says Mavjuda Tokhirova, cosmetologist, dermatovenerologist at GMT Clinic. "Another plus of this technique is that the puffiness goes away, and as a result, the look is more expressive and fresh."
Cost: from 5000 rubles.
Fillers
Fillers based on hyaluronic acid can be used. "The principle of their action is very simple: fillers are injected into the deep layers in the periorbital zone (in the nasolacrimal groove) - the voids are filled, and the skin above the vessels rises," notes Veronika Fedorova, cosmetologist at Milfey Frunzenskaya beauty salon. "You need to carry out such a procedure once, and the effect after it will last from eight months to a year."
Cost: from 12,000 rubles.
Peeling
Peeling removes dead skin cells and smoothes the skin surface. In order not to injure the delicate skin under the eyes, a finely dispersed composition (without large particles) is usually used. A chemical peel based on fruit extracts will also be good. “Consider: peeling is not always possible. The ideal time for them is autumn-winter,”emphasizes Mavjuda Tokhirova, cosmetologist, dermatovenerologist at GMT Clinic.
Cost: from 2500 r.
Microcurrent therapy
This is a two-in-one treatment that brightens dark circles and fights swelling. Due to the influence of microcurrents, lymph flow and blood supply are improved. The result will be noticeable after the first procedure. Full course - from 6 to 15 sessions.
Cost: from 2500 r.
Laser
The laser is very effective in combating bruises. Modern devices allow you to control the length of the beam and the depth of its penetration into the skin. Under the influence of the laser, the surface cells of the skin are destroyed, which are then quickly renewed. And you get a perfectly even skin tone without blue shadows. However, the result will not be instantaneous - the effect will "appear" in two weeks. Do this procedure once!
Cost: from 3500 r.
Lipofilling
This procedure is carried out only if bruises have arisen as a result of age-related changes. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in two stages: first, adipose tissue is taken and processed, then it is injected into the area under the eyes. Its main drawback is the risk of asymmetry.
Cost: from 35,000 rubles.
Carboxytherapy
During carboxytherapy, carbon dioxide is injected into the problem area, which stimulates blood circulation and skin renewal. The good thing about the procedure is that it has no unpleasant consequences. But the first result will be noticeable only after a week. The number of procedures required is about 8-10, but the effect will last for a year.
Cost: from 4500 r.
Tattoo
You can also hide bruises with the help of tattooing. To do this, the master will inject pigment into the skin to mask the defect. Such a procedure is carried out in three approaches - so that the result is as natural as possible.
Cost: from 35,000 rubles.
Home helpers
“Means against circles under the eyes are night (their goal is to improve microcirculation) and daytime (their task is to moisturize and protect the barrier functions of the skin),” says Mavjuda, a cosmetologist at the GMT Clinic. - Moreover, it is better not to touch the movable eyelid, only on the motionless one and with light hammering movements, so as not to stretch the skin. If after using the cream you plan to do make-up, then you should stand it for 20 minutes, and then your make-up will not slip."
It is also important to choose the right ingredients in terms of composition! “Beauty products will do that will tighten the skin and strengthen the capillaries. At the same time, they should have a cooling, tonic and whitening effect. Vitamin K, retinol, peptides are capable of this,”says Veronika Fedorova, a cosmetologist at the Milfey Frunzenskaya beauty salon. - Also, pay attention that your cream should not contain parabens, hydroquinone, propylene glycol, talc and glycerin - they create a tightness effect and dry the skin.
Deft disguise
Blue circles under the eyes can be masked, you just need to follow a few rules! “Your main beauty weapon in this case is concealer. But don't be in a hurry to rejoice! Keep in mind that the skin around the eyes is very thin and sensitive, so before applying concealer it is better to moisturize it a little with a cream, - recommends Janet Alistanova, make-up artist at MA&MI beauty salon. “Also remember: the concealer has more pigment and less moisture than the foundation, so it is better to powder the skin so that it does not clog into wrinkles after application”.
“A common mistake is to cover up dark circles under the eyes with lighter shades that differ from the general tone of the face. But in this way, on the contrary, you will emphasize your flaw, - says Andrey Tambovtsev, top make-up artist of the studio "Zazerkalye". - Concealers of peach and apricot shades mask well blue circles. The base is optional. By the way, among my favorites I can single out the Sculpt & Sighlight Face Duo liquid contouring product from NYX. This is an off-label product, but it perfectly masks and is more suitable for young skin (without the predominant amount of mimic wrinkles) with a matte finish. Also ideal would be M. A. C's Studio Finish Concealer or any other similar product in a jar that is dense and oily in texture. In most cases, it requires dusting with transparent mineral powder."
