NoIn medical terminology the term blepharochalasis is used: it is, in fact, the so-called “drooping eyelid”. Visible sign of aging, it makes the look appear tired, sad, subject to “gravity”. And for this reason it is one of the most frequent worries. However, it is possible to enhance this type of look, with some simple tricks. Or, intervening with ad hoc treatments.
Drooping eyelid, causes and beauty remedies
The drooping eyelid is a manifestation of laxity due to loss of elasticity of the connective structures of the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the eyelid area. It is often associated with a local accumulation of adipose tissue. The elastic fibers over time they degrade causing the area to collapse, which is unable to counteract the force of gravity.
The causes? The same as global aging: unhealthy habits such as sleeping little, an unhealthy lifestyle, photoaging, but also facial expressions. But even small habits such as removing make-up badly, not nourishing the particularly sensitive and thin skin in the area.
Remedies for drooping eyelids: from cold water to blepharoplasty
Sagging eyelids are therefore the result of a natural skin aging process. The inestheticism can be mitigated both with daily remedies, some very simple, and with more thoughtful choices.
1. Cold water, the most immediate remedy
It’s a great classic: if you slept little at night, in the morning the swollen eyes highlight the drooping eyelids more. Cold water, or rather cold effect Beauy Tools, can help. It causes local vasoconstriction, reducing tissue edema and therefore slightly attenuating the blemish.

Sleeping on a comfortable, not too high pillow allows you to facial muscles to decontract by draining liquids and detoxifying the tissues.
3. Potatoes or cucumbers for tired eyes
A real “grandmother’s” remedy, that’s it Fresh potatoes and cucumbers from the fridge, cut thinly and then placed on the eyelids, can help. The potato deflates thanks to the catalase enzyme, the cucumbers with ascorbic and caffeic acids.
4. Localized massages
Facial gymnastics is always a great help in these cases because strengthens the orbital muscles, as well as promoting lymphatic drainage. This combines a muscle strengthening action with an anti-gravity effect.
5. Traction threads, the scalpel-free protocol
It is a scalpel-free protocol that performs a true non-surgical facelift. The increasingly popular method consists in the application of traction threads composed of polydioxanone, absorbable by the skin, anchored in precise points connecting the sides of the eye with the hairline. The result lasts about a year.
6. Fractional laser to stimulate collagen
Another non-invasive treatment, it works by heating the local tissue around the eyes, so as to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin fibers with a supporting effect on the area. The result takes time to be visible and requires a few days of recovery.
7. Botox push up effect

8. Blepharoplasty
It’s therethe most requested operation among 40-50 year olds: today, blepharoplasty is less invasive and is based on techniques that are not necessarily surgicalthe ultimate solution for removing excess skin from the eyelid, then sewing the two edges together with a single stitch, so as to make the scar invisible.
