No one is immune from an accidental black eye. This is most unpleasant if you have to go to work in a couple of days or are planning to attend an event. Well, if you are a girl and you have bruises under your eyes, you don’t even need a reason. However, you can get rid of a bruise within one day at home, thanks to several proven recipes. We will tell you how to quickly remove a black eye from a blow in this article.
Let us briefly list the main reasons for the appearance of dark circles.
Wrong reason #1
Disruption of the functioning of internal organs - liver, kidneys, etc. Internal organs have nothing to do with the real manifestation of dark circles under the eyes!
True reason #1
The skin under the eyes is very delicate. There is a layer of fat under the skin that thins and “goes away” with age. The blood vessels and orbicularis oculi muscle begin to “shine through” the thin skin. If you have had thin lower eyelid fat since childhood (anatomical feature), then dark circles may appear from a young age.
True reason #2
With age, the skin accumulates pigment (due to disruption of melanocytes in the periorbital area).
True reason #3
Anatomical structure of the orbital region with deep-set eyes.
In a separate article you will find a complete description of the causes of dark circles under the eyes.
Additional reasons
Bone resorption (thinning and change in the shape of the skull with age) - provokes retraction of the orbital region, the bone pulls the orbital ligament, which in turn pulls the skin. Thus, the formation of a nasolacrimal trough quite often accompanies the formation of dark circles.
The most popular combination of causes of lower eyelid imperfections is age-related thinning of the fat layer, loss of skin turgor (decreased skin thickness) and acquired pigmentation.
What diseases cause
An unhealthy lifestyle, taking medications and prolonged exposure to the sun are not always the main primary sources of manifestations. It happens that this is the first bell signaling that there are problems in the body. These include both functional and pathological changes, including:
- kidney and liver diseases, among additional symptoms: jaundice, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, heaviness in the gastrointestinal tract, problems with urination;
- metabolic disorders, lack of vitamins, manifested in the form of drowsiness, apathy, and fatigue;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system can be determined if, in addition to blueness, dizziness, shortness of breath, and rhythm disturbances are observed;
- chronic fatigue in people with a constant desire to sleep, mood swings, frequent colds, headaches and poor sleep;
- endocrinological are expressed in an excess or deficiency of important hormones, nervousness, sweating;
- insufficient or excessive hydration of the face, in the form of oily shine or flaking, pallor or rosacea, etc.
If additional symptoms appear in combination with blue discoloration in the lower eyelid, it is important not to delay and consult a specialist. Most problems are solvable and easily treated with medication, and after eliminating the root cause, the skin restoration complex will help you quickly achieve a healthy appearance without the need to use dense layers of foundation and powder.
Really working ways to remove dark circles.
The method for correcting dark circles depends on the cause of their occurrence. Believe it or not, but none of the home remedies can remove dark circles even after 1 month of constant use.
It is important to correctly and accurately determine the causes of occurrence in order to effectively eliminate this deficiency.
Getting rid of pigmented dark circles.
Pigment can be removed from the skin in two ways : using IPL photorejuvenation or using special lightening chemical peels.
Number of required procedures:
- IPL photorejuvenation: 1-2 procedures (cost 5000 rub.),
- Chemical peelings - from 2 to 6 procedures (cost - from 3000 rubles).
In difficult cases, a combination of these two methods is used. Before such aggressive procedures, it is advisable to conduct a course of biorevitalization or plasma therapy: the skin should be prepared, otherwise, after getting rid of the pigment, we will return the skin to turgor and a healthy appearance.
CO2 laser peelings and polishing on thin skin of the lower eyelids do not provide results in getting rid of pigmentation. Harsh chemical peels should also not be used on thin eyelid skin.
You can often hear that mesotherapy helps with dark circles : this is true, however, in the case of thin and flabby eyelid skin. Mesotherapy is often ineffective against pigmentation. If pigmentation is weak, you can try a course of meso-procedures (4-8 pcs.) with special preparations.
Getting rid of anatomical dark circles
If the dark circle of the lower eyelid in the lower part is outlined by a tear trough, then this is a direct indication for filler injections . In this case, the principles of correction coincide with the procedure for correcting the nasolacrimal groove.
Contusion (bruise) of the eye
Most often, a contusion (or bruise) of the eye occurs due to a blow to the eyeball with some object. For example, with a fist during a fight or with a snowball during a game. The affected person feels a sharp pain in the eye, lacrimation appears, photophobia occurs, and visual acuity may sharply decrease.
If there is no rupture of the eyeball or a penetrating wound, then at the first moment the victim may not feel any consequences. But after some time, vision suddenly becomes worse. It is worth remembering that even seemingly minor eye injuries can lead to very serious complications. Therefore, you should not self-medicate under any circumstances. It is better to immediately seek medical help from an ophthalmologist. Only he, after the examination, will be able to prescribe the necessary treatment for you and monitor the condition of your eye.
What urgent measures need to be taken before visiting a doctor? To begin with, you need to provide the injured eye with absolute rest. To do this, completely eliminate movements and turns of the head, stop any, even minimal, physical activity (bending forward, lifting heavy objects, sudden movements). Next, you need to apply a sterile gauze bandage to the eye, which can be soaked in antibiotic eye drops (Levomycetin or Albucid). This will serve as a good prevention of infections.
How to remove circles with fillers.
Eliminating dark circles under the eyes with filler is a type of contouring that follows a certain algorithm and has its own specifics.
The method is based on the principle of leveling the skin relief of the lower eyelid area , compensating for age-related changes.
Hyaluronic acid, which is the basis of the preparations for this correction, attracts water and thus saturates the area under the eyes, as if compensating for the loss of fatty bags.
The cost of the procedure directly depends on the cost of the drug. Usually the price starts from 15,000 rubles. If you are offered correction with fillers for contouring at a much lower price, this is a reason to ask a few questions:
- What drug will you be given and can it be used in this area?
- What technique will be used for correction - will you leave the cosmetologist with bruises under your eyes?
- Do the cosmetologist and the clinic have all the necessary licenses and certificates?
In any case, we advise you to consult with our specialists at least by phone - such consultations are free.
We select special fillers – not too dense and not too liquid. This helps to achieve a noticeable smoothing, brightening and toning effect without the so-called overcorrection. The presence of filler under the thin and delicate skin of the eyelids will not be noticeable to anyone - not even you. And as a memory of the procedure, only an expressive, clear, enchanting look will remain.
Duration of correction: 15-20 minutes.
Painful sensations: absent, we work not with a needle, but with a cannula!
Rehabilitation: none, thanks to the same cannula. There are no side bruises or swelling, after the procedure you can start living a full life. The only visual manifestation is the absence of dark circles!
How long does the result last: 12-16 months, depending on the individual characteristics of the body.
The procedure takes 15 minutes - are you ready to spend 15 minutes to forget about the problem for at least six months?
Proper eye rejuvenation - why is it rare?
Careful and high-quality implementation of this procedure is only possible for competent cosmetologists who have undergone appropriate training and improved their skills.
Alas, others have already tried to attract clients with this service, thereby spoiling its reputation - patients left clinics with bruises and bruises under their eyes, disappointed in contour plastic surgery, and sometimes in cosmetology in general.
Levon Chakhoyan is a recognized expert in rejuvenation, conducts training master classes and hands-on training for other cosmetologists. Eye rejuvenation performed by him is a standard example of the procedure!
We guarantee the absence of any traces after injections of fillers for dark circles under the eyes, because:
- We follow the author’s technique for administering the drug;
- We do not use “universal” fillers, but special fillers designed to work specifically in the periorbital zone;
- We work with a cannula - an atraumatic instrument, unlike a regular needle.
How do we perform injections for dark circles under the eyes?
For those who are terrified of pain, we offer superficial anesthesia. In 90% of cases, fillers already contain lidocaine, so additional application is required only for patients who are afraid of the injection itself.
The whole process takes no more than 10-15 minutes:
- The eyelid and cheekbone are disinfected;
- The sterile instrument and preparation are opened;
- A puncture is made in the cheekbone area;
- The cannula moves closer to the eyelid and distributes the drug “fan”;
- The session ends with a light massage.
Having completed the procedure, we give the patient a mirror, and almost everyone is amazed: “Where are the dark circles? Where is the swelling? Where is at least the bleeding wound from the injection?” But they are not there!
The only thing you will notice after contouring is the absence of dark circles and nasolacrimal trench. And, as a result, global transformation and rejuvenation of the entire face. See all the work of our cosmetologists on removing circles in the lower eyelid area.
It must be expensive?
The most frequently asked question! How much do you value your beauty and youth?
The cost of rejuvenating the orbital area with fillers starts from 15,000 rubles. The volume of the drug administered depends on the severity of the problem. There are corrections for 20,000 rubles and 40,000 rubles.
The duration of the effect is 9-14 months. Divide the indicated amounts by 1 year, during which you will look several years younger. Acceptable?
What then? — we select personal care for you, perhaps prescribe a course of procedures that should help reduce the appearance of circles and bruises under the eyes after the drug resolves in a year.
Once again, please note that with the correct technique, you should not have any traces left after the procedure!
First aid
The skin around the eyes is very delicate, so the impact mark will be noticeable. Disguising an aesthetic defect is quite problematic. If you let the situation take its course, the hematoma can last up to three weeks and will change its shades.
After injury, the following actions should be taken as soon as possible:
Bodyaga for the face for bruises under the eyes
- first of all, the patient needs to be calmed down, sat down or laid on the bed;
- apply something cold. This could be ice, a cold water bottle, frozen food from the freezer, or even a cold metal object. Ice must be wrapped in something to prevent tissue frostbite. It is important that the damaged area is cooled for twenty minutes. Cold is applied not only to the hematoma itself, but also to the cheek. Experts recommend doing cold soaks every hour during the first 24 hours after injury;
- for acute pain, give some kind of painkiller, for example, Analgin or Spazmalgon. You should not give Aspirin, as the drug thins the blood. This can lead to the fact that the blood will not clot for a long time, which will lead to an increase in the hematoma in size and the occurrence of edema;
- exclude heat exposure. Warming compresses are allowed on the second day. Excessive heat on the first day may cause increased bruising;
- stop nosebleeds. Do not blow out excess blood, this can lead to the spread of the hematoma to the nose and cheek area;
- In the first hours after a bruise, you should purchase a drug at the pharmacy to reduce swelling and resolve the hematoma.
ATTENTION! Low temperatures constrict blood vessels. As a result, less blood collects under the skin. Cold will help cope not only with swelling, but also with severe pain.
If there are no open wounds, warming up is allowed from the second day. A boiled egg or heated salt wrapped in a bag is suitable for this. Such heating is best performed throughout the entire healing period.
There are several other methods that can be classified as unprofessional.
Home Remedy #1: Patches
For some reason, “patches” are considered the most popular remedy against dark circles.
Most patches do not get rid of dark circles.
Professional patches with micro-goals are the only working option . The purpose of such products is to saturate the skin with moisture, making it thicker so that the blood vessels and muscles do not show through. In the case of pigment circles, any patches are powerless.
The results from the patches are there as long as you apply them, but as soon as you stop using the patches, the problem comes back.
You can study in detail the topic of patches as a remedy for dark circles in our separate article.
Home Remedy #2: Creams and Ointments
Creams with lightening ingredients and all kinds of ointments are not able to fight the causes of dark circles, since they are not able to penetrate deep into the skin.
