The signs of aging and daily activity are inevitable, and one of the first areas where we notice them is often in the eyes. You look at yourself in the mirror and begin to notice certain losses of volume, bags, dark circles... A 'tired' appearance where sometimes we struggle to recognize ourselves.
Today, we are here to talk about different tools that can help us balance, treat, or even reverse these effects to regain a luminous and rejuvenated look.
One of the first signs is usually the gradual sagging of the skin in the area under the eyes, which can lead to the bags and dark circles becoming more noticeable.
For cases in initial stages, fillers in different formats can be used:
With hyaluronic acid: it is a product of very high quality that is absorbed over the course of months, making it a good option if you want to see the effect temporarily (without surgery or hospitalization).
With your own fat (lipofilling): it is a technique in which we use your own fat cells extracted from other parts of your body. The advantage over hyaluronic acid is that it is a completely natural element and the effect is permanent. This would be the process (through a small outpatient procedure):
In both cases, lost volume is provided, and with lipofilling, collagen is also stimulated, and skin quality is improved.
If you are also concerned about darkened under-eye circles, we can recommend certain very specific cosmetic products that are highly effective for this. You can request personalized cosmetic advice on this link on our website without the need to physically visit the clinic.
In more advanced stages of the presence of bags and dark circles, we can perform a lower blepharoplasty, which consists of a small surgery in which we directly remove the bags, making the effect also definitive. In this case, we can take advantage of the surgery itself to complement with lipofilling, so we fill in the right volumes to give a completely rejuvenated appearance to the periocular area:
If, on the other hand, you are concerned about the sagging skin in the upper eyelid area, there is the option of an upper blepharoplasty, which removes the excess skin, restoring firmness to the eyelid.
It is very common to combine upper and lower blepharoplasties (complete blepharoplasty) along with lipofilling in a single surgical procedure, which yields very satisfactory results. In the following case, you can see the combined effect of everything:
In addition to all of this, there is the possibility of improving the shape of your eyebrows (in case of drooping, asymmetry...) by combining it with a small eyebrow lift.
As a complement, we can also apply non-surgical treatments on the skin such as platelet-rich plasma (obtained with a simple blood test in the clinic), which greatly helps in collagen stimulation and cell regeneration, achieving a 'juicier' and rejuvenated skin and gaze effect.
The doctors at STEM Beauty have many years of experience and study in all of these procedures, and we will be delighted to thoroughly evaluate your case to find the optimal solution for you and help you showcase your best self this very summer.
Get in touch with us, and we will address all your doubts and concerns.
