Causes and Symptoms of Sagging Under Eyes
Sagging is the appearance of loose skin that is supposed to be tight. First, let's look at the causes and symptoms of sagging under the eyes.
■Progression of sagging due to aging
Sagging develops with age. There are a variety of age-related changes, the first of which is a decrease in bone density. As the bones atrophy, the orbit, which is the hollow that contains the eyeball, widens, and the eye sags.Sagging under the eyes due to imbalance in the eye areaThe first is the
Changes in the muscles around the eyes also have a significant effect on sagging. As we age, the orbicularis oculus muscle relaxes, causing the fat under the eyes to protrude forward, uncontrollably. ThisProtruding orbital fat can also lead to dark circlesPlease note that the following is a list of the most common problems that occur in the marketplace.
In addition, changes in skin elasticity and firmness are also involved. As we age, collagen, which is necessary for firm skin, elastin, which maintains elasticity, and hyaluronic acid, which is necessary for moist skin, decline or deteriorate, causing the skin to lose its elasticity and sag noticeably.
Lifestyle influences on sagging
It is possible that casual daily habits may lead to sagging under the eyes. For example, irritation from friction such as excessive cleansing or rubbing the eyes. The skin around the eyes is only about 0.6 mm thick while the skin of the face is 2 mm thick. Therefore, the skin around the eyes is more sensitive to irritation and easily stretched,Sagging becomes more pronounced when damage is compounded.There is a case.
Overuse of the eyes is another factor that causes sagging. When we blink less frequently due to excessive use of cell phones and computers, not only do the muscles themselves deteriorate, but the blood flow is blocked due to eyestrain, causing puffiness and dark circles. The double punch of sagging and dark circles can make you look even older.
Relationship between genetic factors and sagging
In some cases, sagging under the eyes is strongly related to genetic factors. In particular, the amount of fat around the eyes, the height of the cheekbones, and the position of the bones around the eyeballs have a significant effect. Depending on the skeletal structure around the face, sagging may be noticeable regardless of age.
Treatment for sagging under eyes｜Hiroshima Yayoi Clinic
Next, we will discuss the Hiroshima Yayoi Clinic's procedures that can treat sagging under the eyes.
Non-surgical treatment
Hiroshima Yayoi Clinic uses a non-scalpel, non-cutting treatment method. This treatment method is recommended for those who "do not want others to know that they have undergone treatment," "want to avoid incisions with a scalpel," and "want to reduce risks as much as possible. Another point is that it also reduces concerns about strong pain and downtime. Specific details of the treatment are explained below.
■ Effects and characteristics of ultrasound and radiofrequency therapy
Hiroshima Yayoi Clinic, which offers under-eye sagging treatment, uses Thermagen, a type of high-frequency treatment, and Super HIF, an ultrasound treatment that is designed to be pain-free.
With Thermagen, radiofrequency (RF) heat energy is irradiated to the skin, which stimulates the contraction of collagen in the dermis layer and fiber septa in the subcutaneous tissue,Expected to tighten sagging facial lines and wrinklesIt is also possible to apply heat while minimizing the burden on the skin surface with high frequency electromagnetic waves. In addition, the high frequency electromagnetic waves can apply heat while minimizing the burden on the skin surface, making it difficult to feel pain and heat. One disadvantage to be aware of when undergoing Thermagen is that it is difficult to feel the effects if there is little subcutaneous fat. For firm tightening from the muscle layer deep within the skin, the HIF is the better choice.
Super Hyf" is unique in that it delivers heat only to the deep skin layer (SMAS layer), which is necessary for lifting, without damaging the surrounding tissues.Attractive in that it is easy to feel the effects of a single treatment.It is. Unlike conventional hyphae, it is easy to apply heat evenly to the appropriate areas, and the advantage is that it is difficult for different practitioners to produce different effects. However, care should be taken when irradiating areas with little fat, as there are cases in which the face may appear humped.
■Injection treatment improves sagging and dark circles
Injection therapy also helps improve sagging. At Hiroshima Yayoi Clinic, we offer a treatment for sagging skin using hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid injections are injections of medical-grade hyaluronic acid into the inner skin, and are characterized by the ability to achieve a youthful appearance without discomfort. In addition to sagging under the eyes, it can also be expected to reduce the appearance of dark circles, wrinkles, and lines.
On the other hand, post-procedure risks include the formation of lumps and the development of allergies. Choose a procedure after considering the advantages and disadvantages.
Care after sagging treatment and how to maintain long-term results
Here are some tips on how to care for your skin after sagging treatment and how to follow up regularly to maintain the effects of the treatment.
Postoperative precautions and care
Postoperative precautions vary depending on the treatment. Here we mention the three treatments mentioned earlier.
The precautions regarding postoperative hyaluronic acid injections are to prevent deformation of the injected drug,Avoid use of facial appliances and massage for about 2 weeks.This is to say.
After hyphenation or Thermagen, to reduce the risk of side effects and to avoid prolonged downtime, saunas, strenuous sports, and alcohol consumptionRefrain from doing anything that increases circulation.. It is also important not to irritate the skin by rubbing or excessive cleansing, as pigmentation can easily occur. In addition, careful moisturizing and UV protection are essential.
■Preventive measures in daily life
Attention to daily lifestyle can help prevent sagging. Lack of sleep and dietary imbalances increase the risk of premature absorption of hyaluronic acid, so a review of your daily lifestyle is key. Diet is the best way to experience the effects of the treatment for as long as possible,Conscious intake of vitamins A, B group, C, and E, which help produce protein and collagenLet's do it. Sleep is another demanding factor. Growth hormone, which is involved in the production of collagen in the skin, is secreted during sleep, so you want to make sure you get enough sleep.
In addition to these factors, proper skin care is also essential to prevent sagging. Dryness is a factor that contributes to sagging skin.
Dryness can be reduced by being mindful not to scrub too much when cleansing and washing the face, and by gently rinsing with lukewarm water. After washing the face, moisturize thoroughly with toner, milky lotion or cream, and do not forget to apply sunscreen during the day.
■ Importance of regular follow-up
Treatment effects related to sagging under eyes are not permanent. If you want to maintain the effect, we recommend that you consider reapplication.
The duration of hyaluronic acid injections varies depending on the type of preparation used, the site, and other factors, but in generalAbout 6 months to 1 yearThe effect is believed to last for about two years in some cases. In some cases, the effect may last approximately two years. The frequency of injections is often 3 to 6 months, but this varies from person to person, so please check with your doctor.
As for the duration of the hyph,6 months to 1 yearabout. If you expect a higher effect, allow 6 months.
Thermagen will show primary effects such as improved skin elasticity and firmness for about 1-2 weeks. For about 3 months after that, the collagen content of the skin increases, and secondary effects can be expected. If you are going to have regular treatments,Ideally once every 2 to 3 months.It is.
