The periorbital zone is the area around the eyes. In this part of the face, the most sensitive skin, therefore, the first signs of aging – bags and facial wrinkles – appear on it first of all. All this can remove microcurrent facial therapy. Electrical stimulation of the skin does not cause discomfort, is available in salons and at home, but is not suitable for everyone.

What problems do microcurrents solve for eyelids?

Electric currents for the face provide the effect of rejuvenation and lifting, remove defects, tighten the skin. Indications for the procedure for the periorbital region (around the eyes):

• wrinkles;
• swelling, bruising, dark circles;
• dryness;
• overhanging eyelids;
• sagging skin.

The effect of microcurrents on the area around the eyes

The essence of the procedure is the impact of weak electrical impulses sent by a special apparatus. In this case, microcurrents affect:

• facial muscles – restore their tone, tighten;
• blood vessels – normalize blood circulation, thereby improving complexion;
• lymph nodes – accelerate lymph drainage, which is why swelling is removed;
• cells – normalize metabolism, stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, reduce the number and depth of wrinkles.

Technique

The microcurrent procedure for the face is carried out in two ways: with moving electrodes or with special gloves. In both cases, a conductive gel is first applied to the treated areas, and then the selected apparatus is used. In this case, the patient does not feel discomfort, the maximum is a slight tingling in particularly sensitive places (for example, on the upper eyelids or in the area of ​​the nasolacrimal groove).

Depending on the purpose of the exercise, it is recommended to attend 7-12 sessions. The specific amount should be checked with a beautician. Rules of preparation:

• do not apply a large amount of cosmetics (but microcurrent carcasses will not harm);
• discuss with the beautician the need for peeling prior to manipulation;
• remove all metal jewelry.

In the cabin

First, the beautician thoroughly cleanses the skin, then applies a conductive gel and begins to treat the area with gloves or moving electrodes.

After the procedure, special serums and creams are used for an additional post-edematous effect. The duration of the session, subject to processing only the area around the eyes – about half an hour.

At home

To conduct microcurrent lymphatic drainage on your own, you need to purchase a special apparatus and gel. Carefully read the description and instructions, this should be a tool for this procedure, and not similar. For microcurrent therapy, myostimulants that are attached are not used. There must be movable electrodes that slide over the skin. House Rules:

• apply the gel only on dry skin;
• wear rubber gloves during handling;
• make sure that you have no contraindications (pregnancy, oncology, infections, the presence of pacemakers);
• remove all jewelry.

For greater efficiency, scrubbing is recommended before microcurrents. Nevertheless, the result of home processing will still be less pronounced than that of a salon, since devices for self-use have weaker technical characteristics.

What procedures can be combined

It is not recommended to do microcurrent manipulations after Botox – electrical impulses will again make the facial muscles mobile. It is possible and even recommended to combine microcurrents with scrubs and peels, massages.
