Because the skin around the eyes is much thinner, it becomes dry and loses elasticity much faster. To prevent the formation of early wrinkles, dark circles and bags under the eyes, the skin in this area requires special care. Thanks to modern minimally invasive methods of rejuvenating the area around the eyes, it has become possible to restore youth and a naturally beautiful appearance to this area of the face without surgical intervention. Properly selected skin care products and timely cosmetic procedures can save you from the first wrinkles and stop the aging process of the skin.
How to keep the skin around your eyes youthful.
There are several most effective methods for rejuvenating the periorbital zone.
Mesotherapy
“Beauty” injections, which are a specially selected vitamin cocktail based on hyaluronic acid. The skin is saturated with nutrients and moisture from the inside. The appearance and structure of the skin noticeably improves, fine wrinkles are smoothed out and the complexion is evened out.
Plasma therapy
The patient's own platelet-rich plasma is injected under the patient's skin. Cell regeneration processes are activated, the skin around the eyes is noticeably tightened.
Chemical peeling
Thanks to the main peeling ingredient - trichloroacetic acid, the upper layers of the skin dissolve, and the natural process of skin regeneration begins. Traces of post-acne, small wrinkles and age spots disappear.
Botox and Dysport
Under the influence of botulinum toxin, facial activity stops for some time, which reduces the severity of wrinkles and prevents their new formation.
Contour plastic
Injections of fillers of different densities based on hyaluronic acid fill uneven areas and moisturize the skin from the inside. The content of hyaluronic acid and collagen in skin cells increases.
Laser resurfacing
The procedure solves the problem of skin unevenness, eliminates scars, and stimulates the natural production of collagen and hyaluronic acid in skin cells.
Lifting with threads
During the procedure, biocompatible threads are introduced under the skin. They are securely fastened thanks to notches and notches. Some time after their installation, the process of tightening sagging tissues begins and skin cell regeneration occurs. Thanks to the powerful collagen framework formed, thread lifting can be safely called a non-surgical facelift.
Correction of the nasolacrimal trough
During the procedure, special atraumatic soft cannulas are used. A preparation based on hyaluronic acid is injected into the area of the nasolacrimal groove. The nasolacrimal groove is smoothed out, the skin texture is evened out.
Thermolifting
Natural skin renewal processes are triggered through controlled damage to the upper layers of the skin. Age-related changes are leveled out, small wrinkles are smoothed out.
Lipofilling
Liposculpture is considered a minimally invasive rejuvenation technique. During the procedure, the patient's own fat tissue is transplanted into an area where there is a lack of soft tissue. Lipofilling is indicated for loss of volume in the area of the lower eyelids, eyebrows, nasolabial folds and lips.
Often, patients are first injected with fillers into the nasolacrimal groove, cheekbones, and the area of the middle third of the face. This result is enough for a year. If the patient likes the result with the filler, then after a year the second stage can be done with lipofilling. Your own fat takes root forever and does not cause swelling.
In some cases, with fairly pronounced changes in the nasolacrimal trough and a clear lack of filling in the middle zone of the face, it is more advisable to carry out lipofilling immediately, since to correct pronounced changes in the nasolacrimal trough and middle zone, more gel injection is required, which always causes swelling (pasty) of the periorbital and middle zones faces. This may not always give an aesthetic result and be liked by the patient. It is especially contraindicated to use fillers in cases of initial swelling in these areas (for example, morning, evening swelling or after drinking heavily).
Professional techniques
Cosmetic establishments offer a wide range of activities aimed at rejuvenating facial skin. Taking into account the nature of the specific problem, the specialist will select the most effective ways to eliminate it. Common indications for professional procedures include the following:
- Wrinkles at the outer corner of the eye (“crow’s feet”).
- Puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.
- Pronounced nasolacrimal groove.
- Drooping of the upper eyelid.
- Pigment spots and rosacea.
- Unevenness of the relief.
- Dry skin.
Of course, this is not a complete list of reasons for turning to cosmetologists, but these problems worry the largest number of women. They arise due to loss of tone and elasticity of the dermis, insufficient nutrition and hydration of the epithelium, and other changes. Taking into account the severity of the defect and the individual characteristics of the skin, the salon will select the optimal rejuvenating technique.
Modern techniques offered in beauty salons will help you most effectively combat the signs of aging on your facial skin.
Acid peeling
The essence of peeling is to remove the surface layer of the epidermis, consisting mainly of keratinized (dead) cells. For this, various natural acids are used:
- Glycolic.
- Dairy.
- Grape.
- Almond.
- Reed, etc.
The skin around the eyes is very delicate, so only superficial peeling is used in this area. Thanks to the desquamation of the outer layer in the epithelium, the processes of regeneration and restoration are stimulated. The skin then becomes renewed, fresh and more youthful. Pigment spots disappear, wrinkles decrease, relief improves.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is becoming a very popular means of rejuvenating the skin around the eyes. This is a technique, the essence of which is the introduction of special compounds into the dermis. Injections are carried out with an ultra-thin needle to a depth of up to 3 mm. A solution with an individually selected composition enters the middle layer of the skin, which often includes:
- Vitamins and minerals.
- Herbal extracts.
- Amino and nucleic acids.
- Antioxidants.
- Enzymes.
Highly active components are included in various parts of metabolism, normalizing blood circulation and biochemical reactions at the cellular level. As a result, tissue structure improves, vascular tone increases, and regenerative processes are stimulated.
Biorevitalization
As a type of mesotherapy, biorevitalization is based on injections of hyaluronic acid. It is a component of the connective tissue matrix that forms the basis of the dermis. Hyaluronic acid is able to retain liquid for a long time, maintaining water balance in the skin. This leads to smoothing of wrinkles, increased elasticity and the appearance of a lifting effect. Additionally, there is a narrowing of pores and the elimination of dark circles under the eyes.
The biorevitalization procedure triggers the natural processes of proteoglycan synthesis in the dermis, therefore a prolonged rejuvenating effect is observed.
Plasmolifting
Thinning and sagging skin can also be tightened by injecting one’s own blood (plasma with platelets) into the skin. The technique is technically similar to mesotherapy, only the substrate is different. The result of such cosmetic manipulation is the activation of metabolic processes and stimulation of the synthesis of collagen and elastane fibers. Cell mitoses are intensified, which leads to accelerated renewal of the skin.
Botulinum therapy
Botulinum therapy is becoming a very popular procedure for the skin around the eyes. It allows you to quickly smooth out wrinkles, and the effect lasts for a long time. The essence of the technique is represented by injections of drugs based on botulinum toxin (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) into the facial muscles. Extensive experience in the use of these products in modern aesthetic cosmetology allows us to speak about the high safety and effectiveness of the technique.
Laser methods
Skin rejuvenation in the periorbital area using laser radiation is a common hardware correction procedure. The so-called resurfacing is in great demand, during which coagulation of the surface layer of the epidermis occurs, and then its accelerated restoration. Aged cells are also removed using fractional photothermolysis - the safest and at the same time effective technique. Laser rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes occurs through remodeling (restructuring) of the skin, while pigment spots that are the result of excessive accumulation of melanin are also removed.
Thermolifting
The skin around the eyes is also rejuvenated by thermolifting. With the help of thermal effects, the blood supply to the dermis is increased, the division of fibroblasts and their synthesis of fibers (collagen, elastin) are activated. As a result of controlled thermal damage, the process of skin renewal at the micro level is launched, which externally manifests itself in the form of increased tone, tightening of folds and smoothing of wrinkles.
Photorejuvenation
A hardware technique that combines light and radio wave exposure is called photorejuvenation. And although this is a relatively new way to eliminate the external signs of aging, it has already gained quite a popularity. The result of the procedure is the activation of the synthesis of elastic fibers in the dermis, increasing skin tone and eliminating wrinkles. Additional effects include narrowing pores, suppressing inflammatory processes and evening out color tone.
By adjusting the required length and intensity of radiation, the specialist helps achieve optimal results from photorejuvenation.
Microneedling
Another technique associated with controlled local damage to the skin is microneedling. It requires a special tool - a dermaroller with microscopic needles. By creating invisible channels in the skin, it is possible to activate the synthesis of collagen fibers and elastin, which manifests itself in increased tone and elasticity, and filling of wrinkles. In addition, cosmetics and nutrients penetrate into the dermis more easily through the created pores.
Many women who are faced with the first signs of aging decide to rejuvenate the eyelids and skin around the eyes. There are many professional techniques that allow you to achieve a good aesthetic result. But which one to choose in a particular case, it is better to ask a specialist.

In what cases is hardware eye treatment prescribed for children?
In a child, the main part of the problems with visual function is associated with a malfunction of the eye muscles. Therapy using devices for small patients is prescribed in the following cases:
- Tired eyes syndrome. Appears after being at the computer or TV screen for a long time,
- Spasm of accommodation. Diagnosed with many ophthalmological diseases,
- Myopia. This disease is often inherited. The greatest effect from hardware treatment is observed in the first stages of the pathology,
- Strabismus,
- Farsightedness,
- Astigmatism,
- Pathology of the cornea,
- Amblyopia. The essence of the disease is that the child has vision in only one eye or visual acuity is significantly reduced. People call the disease “lazy eye”
- Cataract.

Indications for use
Hardware treatment of eyes in children and adults is carried out for the following diseases:
- refractive error in the form of myopia, farsightedness or astigmatism;
- strabismus;
- amblyopia;
- insufficiency of binocular vision of any nature;
- spasm of accommodation;
- condition after surgery on the organ of vision.
Although hardware treatment for the eyes is indicated for amblyopia, it is impossible to improve the quality of a person’s vision using correction. Scientists cannot give an exact answer about such reasons. Strabismus is a deviation of one or both eyes to the side, causing binocular vision to be impaired and the image entering the brain to be blurred. In the case of such pathology, new technologies using special devices will help.
Nearsightedness or farsightedness is a refractive error where the image is focused on something other than the retina. In this case, laser stimulation or another procedure that has a positive effect on the organ of vision helps. Hardware treatment of myopia or asthenopia, which are the most common types of visual dysfunction, is an additional method of therapy and is used in combination with other methods.
The journal “Attending Physician” for 2020 states that hardware exposure is used if there are contraindications to laser vision correction, such as diabetes, immunodeficiency and childhood.
Magnetic stimulation and photostimulation of the eyes using the AMO-ATOS device
Various types of magnetic therapy are used in ophthalmology. One of them is the effect of a traveling magnetic field.
Indications for use
Physiotherapy procedures using this device can help patients with iridocyclitis, keratitis, optic neuritis, intraocular hemorrhages, thrombosis of the central vessels of the retina, keratopathy of various etiologies, inflammatory diseases of the anterior segment of the eye, glaucoma, serous dacryoadenitis, and accommodation disorders.
In general, magnetic therapy with AMO-ATOS is effective for various eye diseases associated with tissue swelling and inflammation.
The therapy is useful for the treatment of amblyopia, spasm of accommodation and atrophy of optic nerve fibers. During the procedures, with the help of additional options, the visual organs are stimulated due to the movement of the magnetic field source from the temporal to the occipital region. This increases the effectiveness of physical therapy in the treatment of optic nerve fiber atrophy and amblyopia.
Cost of treatment
The clinic on Komarova offers hardware eye treatment for adults and children. The price of one hardware treatment procedure using the AMO-ATOS device (for amblyopia, visual fatigue, myopia) is 350 rubles.
Diseases eliminated by hardware eye treatment methods
It is better to start fighting many diseases of the visual organ in childhood. When early eye treatment is started, excellent results can be achieved. Nowadays, many ailments are being treated without the use of surgical procedures. Such diseases include:
- Myopia. The patient clearly sees all objects near him. But when looking into the distance, the picture blurs.
- Farsightedness. The disease is the opposite of myopia. It is formed in early childhood and in people over forty years old.
- Astigmatism. A disease characterized by irregular shape of the lens and cornea. If the disease is neglected and not noticed in time, it will gradually develop into strabismus.
- Strabismus. This disease involves a lack of symmetry between the eyes.
- Binocular vision impairment.
- Amblyopia. In practice it is called a lazy eye. In such a situation, the patient may have no vision at all in one eye or visual acuity may be greatly reduced.
- Glaucoma.
- Presbyopia. A disease associated with aging of the lens.
- Partial optic nerve atrophy.
- As a rehabilitation after surgical manipulations on the eyes.
For myopia and farsightedness, hardware eye treatment is carried out to increase visual acuity, reduce progression and increase the performance of the visual organ.
The latest computer techniques, color impulse therapy and chromotherapy are used to treat amblyopia. Thanks to such methods, visual acuity increases by more than three lines. The first treatment course gives modest results, but if you carry out several more such sessions, the effect will be noticeable. Therefore, in such a situation, treatment lasts at least three months. The main condition for amblyopia is regular wearing of glasses and tapes. This disease is a serious pathology. Therefore, it can only be treated in childhood. In adults, amblyopia cannot be cured.
Regular training gives excellent results. Especially if hardware eye treatment concerns children. It is recommended to start training as early as possible. If in childhood diseases can be eliminated in ten sessions, then adults will have to try and carry them out much more often.
The effect of vision treatment using hardware techniques
Naturally, it is quite difficult to get high results in a short period of time. It all depends on the patient’s age, the degree of the disease, the condition of the body and the regularity of exercise. Hardware vision treatment for children includes at least ten sessions. For adults, everything is much more complicated and the process can drag on for a month.
Hardware eye treatment brings results in the form of:
- improving visual acuity;
- normalization of microcirculation in the eye;
- reducing the development of diseases;
- improving performance.
The treatment plan is prescribed by the ophthalmologist individually for each patient after diagnosis.
