Drooping eyelids: 3 innovative solutions

Drooping eyelids are undoubtedly an added concern for many women over 40. Whether you call it a cosmetic or aesthetic concern, it's a concern nonetheless. We'll try to shed some light on this and offer non-invasive solutions to this inevitable decline without a parachute or added excitement . Of course, cosmetic technology has a lot to offer.

Drooping eyelids, like a broken heart, are the result of several factors. The first and most obvious: the natural aging process. With age, the production of collagen and elastin (our favorite proteins that keep skin smooth and firm) decreases , causing the skin to lose elasticity and firmness. It's as if the skin of our eyelids one day says, "That's it, I'm done," and decides to take a long vacation. Add to that the natural effect of gravity, and you have the perfect storm brewing above your eyes.

The other guests at this non-party are the usual suspects: genetics, unprotected sun exposure, stress, and lack of sleep. The result is that the periocular tissues of the eyelids become prone to sagging and distension .

How to lift droopy eyelids?

One of the most effective solutions, although it requires consistency and dedication , is facial yoga. It involves working the orbicularis oculi muscles to keep your eyes open and rested. We've got three simple exercises for you that you can do almost any time of day. You know we like to make your routine easier.

The eyebrow lift: Place your index fingers just below your eyebrows, gently pushing them upward as you try to close your eyes. Hold this tension for a few seconds and repeat 10 times. This exercise strengthens the frontalis muscle, helping to lift the skin of drooping eyelids.

Gaze up at the sky: Tilt your head back, looking at the ceiling. Gently close and open your eyes, keeping your head in this position. Repeat 10 times. This exercise tones the upper eyelid area.

Eye relaxation: Close your eyes tightly for a few seconds, then open them as wide as possible. Repeat this movement 10 times. This helps to relax and tone the muscles around your eyes.

The most efficient cosmetic technology for droopy eyelids.

At SKINVITY you can find two technologies that work on the eye contour area and help to keep the gaze lifted and prevent drooping eyelids for as long as possible .

FixEye is a device designed to treat the eye contour area. It's small, versatile, and combines four technologies. We love it because it allows for very short and efficient treatments , and it's so easy to use. It integrates seamlessly into your daily routine, fits in your handbag, and with consistent use, you'll quickly notice a reduction in fine lines, a reduction in puffiness and dark circles, and a more open-eyed appearance.

It uses a combination of microcurrents and therapeutic heat to stimulate collagen production and improve elasticity. Combined with The Contour, our eye cream formulated with a blend of targeted active ingredients to deeply nourish the skin , it offers a complete daily treatment.

As a star non-invasive treatment, radiofrequency , featured in TriPollar 's facials ( Stop VX2 and Desire ), is unbeatable. These two powerful and effective at-home radiofrequency devices lift and firm the skin of the entire face, including the eyelids. Radiofrequency penetrates the deepest layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin fibers, resulting in firmer, tighter skin. It not only stimulates the collagen your cells already have but also stimulates its production.

It is cellular health that results in a visible and lasting recovery of firmness throughout the face, including the eye contour.

A good idea is to combine your cosmetic technology session with some of the suggested facial yoga exercises. You can even do some exercises using FixEye .

Consistency in treatment is the best way to treat droopy eyelids.

Consistency is key in all aspects of life . In cosmetics, it's fundamental, regardless of the product you use. As Myriam, brand director of SKINVITY, says, "You should always follow the manufacturer's recommendations, because they are backed by science that supports the excellent results they offer."
