For most people, under-eye dark circles are one of the most significant aesthetic concerns. Fundamentally, under-eye dark circles consist of three main components: genetically inherited dark circles, deepening of the under-eye hollows, and dark circles caused by slowed circulation. Dr. Lida Çiteli, your Medical Aesthetic Doctor, explained what you need to know about Eyelit Treatment, which has started to be used in recent years for the treatment of under-eye dark circles and bags.
Under-Eye Dark Circles Due to Genetic Reasons
Under-eye dark circles that develop due to genetic transmission are closely related to a person's skin structure. In people with fair skin, the skin around the eyes is white and thin. In these individuals, the blood accumulated in the vessels causes that area to appear bluish or purplish.
Under-Eye Hollows
As we age, the bone structure of our face begins to thin. As a result of this thinning, the bone naturally moves backward. This creates hollows under the eyes, which then lead to under-eye dark circles.
Slowed Blood Circulation Under the Eyes
This type of under-eye bruising usually stems from lifestyle and habits. Insufficient sleep or excessive sleeping habits, heavy use of cigarettes and alcoholic beverages, high salt consumption, hormonal medications, thyroid and liver diseases, kidney problems, and many other factors cause the blood circulation under the eyes to slow down. This slowdown eventually leads to puffiness and dark circles around our eyes.
What is Eyelit Application?
Eyelit application is a method that has recently joined medical aesthetic treatments. Briefly, the Eyelit procedure is a medical carbon dioxide application. Medical carbon dioxide is also currently used in fat melting and weight loss treatments. When medical carbon dioxide, which can also be applied to the under-eye area and upper eyelid, penetrates the lower layer of the skin, it acts as a trigger for the formation of a new vascular network.
How is Eyelit Application Performed?
In the Eyelit application, specially produced medical carbon dioxide is heated to a certain level and delivered in a controlled manner to a small point under the skin. As a result of activating the gas delivery system, the patient may feel a slight burning sensation and swelling. This application speeds up blood flow in the area, thus treating dark circles and puffiness.
Are the Effects of Eyelit Application Permanent?
Yes, the Eyelit application is **permanent**. However, the permanence of the Eyelit application depends on certain conditions. The new vascular network created under the person's eye is a permanent vascular improvement. However, if the person continues the lifestyle habits that cause under-eye dark circles, such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, insufficient sleep, and spending long hours in front of screens, the permanence of the results will also be compromised.
When Does Eyelit Application Show Its Effect?
The effect of the Eyelit Application begins to be seen immediately after the procedure. Generally, desired results can be achieved with a **three to six session** application.
What is the Treatment Efficacy of Eyelit Application?
The efficacy of the treatment arises from the formation of a new vascular network by the body to resolve the circulatory problems in the tissue caused by carbon dioxide gas. The newly formed vascular network ensures that the area is nourished with more oxygen. As a result, the color of the skin in the area lightens. Blood that could not be drained previously is now drained more easily.
What Should Be Considered After Eyelit Treatment?
After the Eyelit application, the patient should not wash the treated area for two to three hours. Other than that, there are no specific precautions the person needs to take. The person can continue their normal life.
Who is Suitable for Eyelit Application?
Eyelit application is an aesthetic intervention that can be applied to individuals who complain about eye bags, wrinkles around the eyes, and drooping eyelids. Eyelit application is generally recommended for individuals over the age of 35. Furthermore, people experiencing significant drooping and puffiness problems around their eyes are considered suitable for Eyelit treatment. However, as with any aesthetic intervention, the person's lifestyle, general health status, and personal preferences must be taken into account in Eyelit treatment. Some people may not be deemed suitable for Eyelit treatment due to health problems or skin structures. Therefore, before deciding on Eyelit treatment, you should definitely consult your dermatologist and medical aesthetic doctor to jointly decide on the most appropriate treatment method for you.
