Thin and vulnerable skin around the eyes is the first to reveal a person’s age. Mesh facial wrinkles, sagging skin, folds, bruises and bags under the eyes - all this spoils the appearance and gives the face a tired expression.
Over the years, changes become more and more noticeable, and tissue tone decreases faster and faster. Rejuvenation of the eye area is possible with the help of blepharoplasty, laser resurfacing, injection cosmetology and, finally, RF lifting. The method is based on radio wave exposure to the deep layers of the skin. The procedure is painless, has no complications and is recommended for both women and men.
What is RF lifting
Radio wave lifting is a hardware method for correcting age-related changes such as wrinkles, sagging tissue, skin unevenness, etc. Its essence comes down to stimulating fibroblasts - connective tissue cells responsible for the elasticity and youth of the skin. The effect on fibroblasts leads to the launch of rejuvenating processes - the production of collagen and elastin. During the session, the epidermis is not exposed to any influence - radio wave signals are sent specifically to the dermis. After the procedure, no traces remain on the skin.
The advantages of RF lifting are:
- safety;
- no marks on the skin (no punctures or damage to the epidermis);
- painlessness;
- very fast rehabilitation period;
- the ability to rejuvenate in the summer;
- compatibility with other procedures, hardware and injection;
- high efficiency.
RF rejuvenation is characterized by increased effect during the first month after the procedure due to natural regeneration processes.
What thins the skin under the eyes, or you need to know the enemy by sight
???? Sun
. Nothing ages the skin faster than ultraviolet radiation. Sunglasses and SPF filters for the area around the eyes are our everything! With one caveat: any protective cream has a rather heavy composition for the delicate skin of the eyelids. Therefore, ideally, it is better to shade the area around the eyes with glasses and a hat, and also try not to go out into the active sun. And on the beach, it’s better to smear the area around the eyes, not forgetting to rinse thoroughly and carefully in the bathroom.
I won’t even talk about the solarium. The harmful effects on the skin are even greater there. And standard solarium glasses are only designed to cover your eyelids. What about the area under the eyes?
???? Aggressive washing.
Even if a woman has thick facial skin, regular washing with soap/rubbing her eyes will dry out her delicate skin day after day. How to wash? I'll tell you below.
???? “Lack of sleep” and “oversleep” in equal measure.
Facial skin is restored only at night. In the dark. Daytime sleep does not count; it only gives rest to the body and brain. At night, the body produces other hormones, body temperature drops, and in the skin, on the contrary, regeneration processes proceed better. More details here:
Sleep and look younger? Was it possible? All the secrets are in one article!
???? Poor quality eye cosmetics.
It just seems like the pencil or mascara only touches the eyelashes and eyelids. The area under the eyes reacts to decorative cosmetics.
???? The habit of squinting and wincing.
Look in the mirror how the skin under your eyes wrinkles during emotions. It wrinkles like paper. This does not mean that you need to forget about emotions. But if a person has poor vision and does not use lenses/glasses, then the skin wrinkles during the day much more often than it seems.
???? Radiation from screens/monitors.
This, of course, is the scourge of modern humanity: many spend hours in front of a flickering computer or with their head bent over a tablet/smartphone. The eyes get tired, and the skin underneath reacts first.
???? Lack of posture.
A constantly tense neck and a forward posture of the head month after month and year after year lead to the fact that the tendon helmet also moves closer to the forehead. Look in the mirror, place your palm on your forehead and lower your skin to your eyebrows. Do you see how the skin in the bridge of the nose also goes down? And the nose, in turn, along its lateral surfaces “adjacent” to the skin around the eyes. We do not notice these processes of the face “flowing down” under the influence of gravity. But we clearly see the obvious consequences of age-related ptosis - tissue drooping in women aged 40-50+, or even earlier.
???? Hypertonicity of facial muscles.
It is logical that contracted muscles also compress the skin located above them. But if you think that it is enough to relax only the orbicularis oculi muscle, then I’m afraid to disappoint you. See how many facial muscles affect the condition of the eye:
What to do? Cause panic on the ship? No, this is not our method. We will act in a comprehensive manner, because only this approach produces results.
And no, you won’t see recommendations on my channel to go and inject yourself with Dysport or do mesotherapy. Of the professional hardware procedures for the area around the eyes, I would only focus on LPG massage and microcurrents. But in general, I suggest, first of all, of course, what any woman can do at home.

Rf lifting around the eyes - procedure technology
To carry out radio wave rejuvenation, we use the Thermafine device. There is no need to use anesthesia - the session is comfortable and quick. The doctor cleans the area around the eyes and applies a special gel conductor to it. The procedure takes no more than 20 minutes. While treating the area around your eyes, you will feel the tissue warming up. The temperature on the device is set individually for each patient. At the end of the session, the doctor will apply a moisturizing cream to the skin of your eyelids.
Skin care after RF eye lifting
Since radio wave lifting does not damage the skin, there is no need to use healing ointments. In the first days after the procedure, it is not recommended to use cosmetics in the area of the upper and lower eyelids. For three to five days, solariums and saunas are prohibited. You can't stay in the open sun. You should not visit the pool.
After a couple of days you will return to your normal rhythm of life. After the first session you will see positive changes on your skin. After a month, they will become more noticeable - RF lifting has an increasing effect. After a course of procedures, you can achieve results comparable to laser or surgical rejuvenation.
How to prevent aging of the eye area?
Of course, the most effective way to prevent and slow down skin aging is a healthy lifestyle, namely:
- Good dream;
- Proper nutrition;
- No stress;
- The right cosmetics.
All this greatly affects both the general condition of the skin and the skin around the eyes. However, this will not always be enough to preserve beauty and youth. In this case, proven methods come to the rescue in the form of nourishing natural masks, facial gymnastics, etc.
The main advantages of these rejuvenation methods are their naturalness, versatility and accessibility. For masks, you can use fresh fruits, vegetables and other beneficial substances, and gymnastics for the skin around the eyes will always help restore skin resources and slow down aging. In this article we will look at the most effective, proven and popular methods that have become the secret to preserving youth and beauty for many women.

Gymnastic exercises
The methods of Carol Maggio and other famous specialists have clearly shown that eyelid lifting at home can be competitive with even the most modern cosmetic procedures. And this despite the fact that gymnastics is completely free and can be done even at home, taking 5-15 minutes. Exercises perfectly tone and strengthen muscles, restore and tighten the skin in the eye area.
It is worth considering that there are a large number of exercises that will help enhance the effect of cosmetic procedures, providing a powerful complex effect. Among the most effective exercises, it is worth highlighting the following techniques:
- Close your eyes and squeeze your eyelids as tightly as possible. You should feel the pressure. After this, open your eyes as wide as possible and hold this position for 3-4 seconds. The exercise should be done for 2-3 minutes. It is important that you do not feel dizzy during execution, otherwise you need to reduce the time and delay with the eyelids open;
- Open your mouth as wide as possible to tense other facial muscles. Blink quickly for 2-3 minutes. The correct sensation would be tension and heaviness of the eyelids;
- Look with your eyes in different directions, making cross-shaped or rotational movements. This type of eyelid lifting massage has long established itself as one of the most effective techniques for rejuvenation;
- Press your fingers into the corners of your eyes and then pull the skin to the side. This position must be held for 5-10 seconds, after which let your eyes rest and repeat again. Total execution time – 2 minutes;
- Open your eyes wide, then pull back the skin in the temple area with your index fingers. Alternately close and open your eyes for one minute.

How often can you do RF facial lifting?
For safe and natural rejuvenation, it is imperative to maintain an interval between procedures. It lasts 2-4 weeks. In each case, the number of sessions is different, usually 2 sessions or more are required. You can repeat the RF lift course once a year.
Rf lifting – contraindications and consequences
Thermolifting of the eyelids is contraindicated for:

Non-surgical Thermafine lifting is not performed on patients under 25 years of age.
The procedure does not have any negative consequences. In rare cases, allergic reactions to the gel used as a guide during lifting are possible. The deeper the wrinkle, the longer it will take to eliminate it using this method. Fine wrinkles disappear almost immediately, but to correct transverse wrinkles and creases you need to be patient.
The method demonstrates the greatest effectiveness for patients 30-50 years old. At a later age, it is better to first have eyelid surgery, and then bring this area to perfection with the help of radio wave lifting.
