Fresh look for spring

A fresh and youthful appearance without signs of fatigue? Who doesn't dream of that. Most of us lead quite an intense lifestyle these days, which also leaves its mark on our skin. You can feel and look like a teenager, but the body shows signs we don't expect. Skin aging is a completely natural process, and even if we lead a healthy lifestyle, it's not enough to make the skin look less tired. External aggressors, genes, lifestyle – all play a huge role. Often, lack of sleep is not the main cause of dull skin and dark circles under the eyes. Of course, it triggers cortisol, the stress hormone, which leads to skin dryness. However, there are other causes as well. How to fight them?

Dark Circles Under the Eyes
The reason could be genetic predisposition. If you have thin skin, you are also more prone to this. You might also have more pigmentation than others, making the skin appear darker. Allergies, UV rays, aging cause blood vessels to dilate. We recommend thickening the skin of the eyelids using the RF INFINI or PLEXR PLUS method, mesotherapy with platelet-rich plasma REGENERIS, ANGEL, or the DARK CIRCLE cocktail, as well as treating the tear troughs and dark circles with STYLAGE S/M hyaluronic acid.

Bags Under the Eyes
These are different from dark circles. Fat deposits under the eyes can be a result, and genetics also play a big role here. Lack of sleep, salt consumption, diet, alcohol, etc., also have an impact. A solution might be PLASMAGE blepharoplasty.

Frown Lines
Low-set eyebrows or an overactive corrugator muscle and procerus muscle can give an angry appearance. Neurotoxin comes to the rescue, relaxing the muscles and giving a friendly look. The effects last 3-4 months.

Drooping Mouth Corners
Drooping mouth corners can make you look older and sadder than you feel. In such cases, the levator anguli oris muscle is weakened, and here too, neurotoxin can help. This non-surgical treatment can be combined with fillers for nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the mouth. Depending on the clinical picture, we recommend STYLAGE L with Stylage S, Zimmer DEEP with Zimmer Refresh, or Princess Voluma Croma with Princess Filler or Rich.
