眼皮松弛/下垂

One of the most obvious changes in aging is sagging skin, and the first to change is the eyes. In addition to wrinkles, sagging eyelids are an obvious feature of aging. Therefore, many people pay attention to anti-aging of the eyes, and medical beauty is very targeted and effective in this regard.


Introduction

The sagging of the eye skin is actually the result of skin aging. The body’s collagen is lost, the subcutaneous tissue is continuously reduced, and the intercellular fibers age and lose elasticity. The eye skin loses its support and becomes loose and sagging.


Cause



○ Genetic or congenital causes of sagging eyelids

○ Ptosis

Ptosis is caused by weak upper eyelid muscles, which makes it difficult to open the eyes, causing the upper eyelid to cover the pupil, resulting in sagging double eyelids.

○ Skin sagging due to aging

As we age, the moisture and elasticity of the skin decrease, and the skin on the upper eyelid gradually becomes loose, which will eventually compress the double eyelid line, causing the double eyelids to gradually become narrower and droop, forming inner double eyelids or triangular eyes.

○ Excessive fat in the upper eyelid

When there is too much fat on the upper eyelid, the fat will compress the skin and slowly cover the double eyelid line. If there is too much fat, it may also compress the upper eyelashes, making the eyelashes look droopy. Therefore, this type of excessive fat on the upper eyelid is the ugliest.

○ Long-term use of double eyelid tape or rubbing of eyes

As we age, our skin becomes less elastic. When removing double eyelid tape, the eyelids will be pulled, which may damage the elastic fibers in the dermis and cause the eyelids to sag. Similarly, rubbing and pulling the eyelids will make the skin lose elasticity and is also unhygienic.

○ Irregular work and rest schedule

Many people have the habit of staying up late and sleeping late. Usually, dark circles and bags under the eyes will appear the next day after staying up late. Doing this frequently will cause the skin to be in a state of fatigue for a long time, especially the skin around the eyes, which will soon become loose and wrinkled.

Specific symptoms

Ptosis of the upper eyelids, loose eyelids, accompanied by wrinkles; triple eyelids or multiple eyelids; the so-called “triangular eyes”; excessive sunken eye sockets; dull and lifeless eyes, etc.



Affected population

It is generally common in middle-aged and elderly people, but young people who often stay up late, overuse their eyes, and rub their eyes excessively are also prone to sagging eyes.

Treatment options

A. Thermage for Eyes

Introduction:

Thermage, also known as radiofrequency skin tightening, uses radiofrequency current to act on the skin tissue, stimulating the synthesis of new collagen and reconstructing the collagen scaffold, thereby achieving a comprehensive anti-aging effect of improving wrinkles, tightening the skin, lifting and reshaping the contour. Thermage is the only device approved by the FDA and CFDA for eyelid wrinkle removal and tightening. It has special eye treatments for the periorbital area and has an anti-aging effect on the eye area.

Working principle:

The essence of Thermage is radio frequency. During treatment, the patented treatment probe of Thermage FLX is used to apply radio frequency energy directly and precisely to the dermis, heating the dermis to 65℃~75℃, stimulating the body to start the self-repair mechanism. A large amount of collagen is newly generated in the dermis of the skin around the eyes, and an immediate firming effect is produced, making the skin instantly firmer, and crow’s feet will gradually fade until they disappear.

process:

1. Face-to-face consultation: Develop a Thermage treatment plan based on personal conditions and needs.

2. Preoperative preparation: Clean and disinfect the treatment area and print the treatment “grid”. Before the operation, make sure the treatment head is brand new and unopened.

3. Intraoperative treatment: Thermage skin tightening and wrinkle removal treatment is performed on the selected treatment area.

4. Postoperative repair: QDEL phototherapy mask repair.

5. Precautions after surgery.

Duration: 45-60 minutes

Suitable for the crowd:

  • People with sagging eyes.
  • People who are getting older and have serious aging around their eyes.
  • People whose eye aging conditions cannot be improved by injectable medical aesthetics.
  • People who want long-term comprehensive anti-aging and wrinkle removal for the eyes.
  • People who are not looking for short-term immediate results and have sufficient budget.

B. Eye Thread Lift

Introduction:

Thread lifting is currently a relatively effective lifting method. It uses protein threads that can be absorbed and dissolved by the human body to be implanted into the lower dermis of the skin. The facial lines are lifted according to the spacing and direction of the threads. Through the stimulation of the threads themselves on the skin, the fibrous subcells in the skin are activated and collagen is produced. Facial thread lifting can re-lift the skin’s support, reduce the degree of skin sagging, stimulate the regeneration of collagen, and focus on sagging soft tissue. There are also special threads for the eyes around the eyes.

Working principle:

The area around the eyes is special because there is no fat underneath and the muscles are just below the skin, so try to use only smooth lines instead of jagged lines. At this time, the lines will enter the superficial muscle layer. The doctor will design a plan for large and small lines based on the analysis of the individual facial conditions of the patient.

process:

1. Face-to-face consultation: Develop a wiring design plan based on your individual facial condition and needs.

2. Apply anesthetic: Apply anesthetic externally, clean and disinfect the thread insertion site.

3. Preoperative preparation: Understand the thread embedding plan and check the protein thread product and quantity.

4. Intraoperative treatment: Thread embedding is carried out according to the treatment plan.

5. Precautions after surgery.

Duration: 30-45 minutes

Suitable for the crowd:

  • People whose eyes begin to sag and the corners of their eyes begin to droop;
  • People who want to improve sagging eyes naturally and quickly in the short term;

C. Radiofrequency gold microneedle-eye treatment

Introduction:

Radiofrequency gold microneedle is a new radiofrequency treatment technology that integrates dot matrix, microneedle and radiofrequency technology. The main principle is to generate multiple magnetic fields under the skin through multi-source radiofrequency control of multiple groups of positive and negative electrode phase control, and transmit energy waves evenly layer by layer under the skin, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen, thereby achieving the effect of tightening the skin and reducing wrinkles. Radiofrequency gold microneedle can be specifically used for treatment around the eyes.

Working principle:

During treatment, the mechanical stimulation of the extremely sharp conical 24K gold non-insulated microneedles made with special technology and the biological effects and thermal stimulation of the radio frequency in the unique dot-matrix pulse mode are used to stimulate the skin’s self-repair system, thereby inducing the production and remodeling of new collagen and elastin, improving skin microcirculation, and is a revolutionary dermal collagen regeneration method. Therefore, it is also effective in removing wrinkles and firming the eyes, and fading fine lines around the eyes and crow’s feet.

process:

1. VISIA skin test: scientifically displays skin conditions and problems.

2. Face-to-face consultation: Develop a treatment plan based on individual circumstances and needs.

3. Patch test: Perform a patch test 24 days in advance and proceed if there is no allergic or uncomfortable reaction.

4. Preoperative preparation: Apply anesthetic, clean and disinfect the treatment area. Adjust the treatment mode.

5. Intraoperative treatment: Adjust the treatment mode according to the selected treatment area and proceed in sequence.

6. Postoperative repair: hospital-grade medical repair mask.

7. Precautions after surgery.

Duration: 30-45 minutes

Suitable for the crowd:

  • People who have already experienced the onset of eye aging or senility, and whose eyelids are beginning to sag;
  • People who want to improve sagging eyelids gradually as a daily skin care product;
  • People who do not pursue short-term immediate effects and want to comprehensively improve the condition around the eyes;
