What problems occur in the eye area?

EYE AREA DEFORMITIES

1. Thin eyebrows and eyelashes

This problem can be solved by permanent make-up to be applied by an experienced person using high quality devices and materials. Even in the absence of any eyebrows, it is important not to go outside the eyebrow area and to use the hair technique when applying the permanent eyebrow make-up.

2. Drooping eyelid and under eye

Many methods are used depending on the amount of deformation in the skin.

• Toxin Application

If drooping eyelid is not severe and the eyelid improves as the eyebrow is raised, the condition can be treated using Toxin Application. It cannot be used for the wrinkles under the eye. It smoothens the crow feet and prevents them from getting deeper.

• Plasma Energy
  Plasma energy allows for renewal of the tissues through controlled evaporation on the epidermis layer of the skin. The elasticity of the tissue increases as it is renewed. It allows for smoothening the wrinkles on the eyelid, under the eye and crow feet. Seances applied once a month are repeated if needed. Maximum 3 seances are performed.
• Fractional Laser
  The skin around the eyes is very thin. Regular Fractional laser systems cannot be used around the eyes. The application is performed using modes that create smaller and slighter damages. It allows for improved quality by renewing the skin suffering from wrinkles or loss of elasticity in approximately 500 or 1000 spots per eyelid. Seances are applied once a month, and maximum 3 seances are performed.
• Mesotherapy
  It involves intradermal injection of a mixture composed of amino acids, proteins and vitamins in order to improve deformation, replenish missing elements in the skin, and complete the cell activation. Depending on the need, a couple of seances are applied at 15-day intervals.
• Filler
  It can be used for deep crow feet or fine lines in people who do not prefer Toxin Application. Fillers can be applied especially in case of deep tear troughs that result in a tired expression. The filler material applied in the eye area must be a product with a lower molecular size.
  In case of eye area deformities, after a thorough examination, some of these methods or a combination of them are applied depending on what the skin needs.

  What are the treatment methods for syringoma?
  Syringoma can be removed using erbium, carbon dioxide (CO2) laser or electrical surgery. In general, it can require 1-3 seances. Good results are obtained in people with fairer skin. The treatment can leave behind white marks in the application area in people with dark circles around their eyes. It should be kept in mind that syrinfomas may recur after treatment.

Blood lipid levels in the other half of the patients were found normal. Good cholesterol level of people with xanthelasmas may be low. In addition, it is a sign of tendency to arteriosclerosis. People with xanthelasmas should have their blood lipid levels checked. Furthermore, they should avoid foods that may increase their blood lipid levels. Treatment of xanthelasmas is done for cosmetic reasons. What are the treatment methods of xanthelasma?
  Treatment methods for these lipid patches include laser, surgical removal, electrical surgery or chemical peeling. In case of laser treatment, erbium, CO2 and plasma energy systems are used. Xanthelasmas may recur after treatments. Due to skin renewal after the laser treatment of the skin, the xanthelasmas are less likely to recur with the laser treatment.
• What is a milium?
