Lip revitalization and eye contouring for summer

 

These two areas are the “silent victims” of summer. These are areas of extremely thin skin (or mucosa) that do not have the same defense capacity as the rest of the face. Therefore, they are the first to show dehydration, wrinkles in the sun and signs of fatigue after vacations.

 

Here we explain how to treat them medically to keep them safe and protected.

 

 Revitalization of Fragile Zones: Eyes and Lips in Summer

 

The concept of revitalization in these areas is distinguished from “increase” or “relleno”. We do not seek to put on huge lips or change the shape of the eye. We seek to rehydrate the mucosa and dermis to prevent it from drying out, getting damaged and losing its natural color due to salt, chlorine and UV radiation.

 

1. The Contour of Eyes: The Challenge of the Sun and Gesticulation

 

In summer, the eye contour suffers for two reasons: the skin is 5 times thinner than the rest of the face and, in addition, we open our eyes (squinting) constantly in the sunlight. This marks the “cock’s paws” at record speed.

 

1. Medical Treatment: “Periocular Mesotherapy”

This is the selection technique before vacancies.

 The Product: A complex of vitamins, antioxidants and hyaluronic acid is used in the reticulate (liquid) specifically designed to not capture too much water and avoid bags (edema).

 The Objective: Densify thin skin. If the skin is thicker and more nourished, it wrinkles less and is less transparent.

 Nanopore Microneedling: In the summer, instead of deep injecting (morato risk), you can use a micro-needle device to introduce a cocktail of amino acids and Vitamin C. This illuminates the tired look without solar risk.

 

1. Dynamic Prevention: “Solar” Botox”

Many dermatologists recommend a gentle dose of botulinum toxin on chicken feet before June.

 Why: If you relax your orbicular muscle, you will avoid having to “close your eyes” in front of the sun. This prevents wrinkles from being marked in white on tanned skin.

 

1. Care at Home: El Stick y el Frío

 SPF in Stick: Use stick sunscreens designed for eyes. The fluid creams migrate with sweat and sting inside the eye. The stick stays fixed and protects the skin (high risk area for skin cancer).

 Hydrogel Patches: Keep them in storage. When we get back from the beach, the vasodilator drops the bags. The cold and the patches decongest instantly.

 

2. Los Labios: El Efecto “Gloss” sin Maquillaje

 

Los labios are not skin, they are semi-mucous. It does not have sebaceous glands (does not produce grease) or sweat, and only has melanin. They are defenseless before the sun and salt. In the summer it thins out and fills with vertical cracks (incipient barcode).

 

1. Medical Treatment: Hydration (Lip Skinbooster)

Do not confuse it with volume relleno (lip augmentation).

 The Product: A very fluid and elastic hyaluronic acid (Viscoderm or Volite) is used.

 The Technique: Micro-deposits are made in the mucosa and profile.

 The Result: Effective Gloss. The lip does not change size exaggeratedly, but it regains its turgidity, smoothing the vertical edges and looking pink and juicy. It's like carrying a moisturizing balm 24 hours a day, but on the inside.

 Duration: From 3 to 6 months. Perfect for spending the summer.

 

1. Specific Benefits for the Playa

 Avoid “walking lips”: Salt dehydrates through osmosis. The injected hyaluronic acid retains water, preventing the lip from becoming dry and hairy.

 Improves color: When hydrated, microcirculation becomes better and lips become redder/natural pink, without the need for lip stains.

 

1. Care at Home: Balm with SPF

It's incredible how many people are forgotten. Lower lip cancer is real and frequent.

 The Basic: A cocoa (lip stick) with SPF 50. Apply it every time you drink or drink.

 Gentle exfoliation: If your lips are peeled in the sun, don't remove your skin (you'll get cold sores and get rid of a herpes in the sun). Use a sugar and mild honey exfoliant at night and apply a thick layer of pure Vaseline or lip mask.

 

3. Precautions and Times (Timing)

 

If you are visiting these areas before traveling, be careful with the calendar.

 

 The Hematoma Riesgo: The contour of eyes and lips are full of blood vessels. It is very likely that you will salt a small moratón.

 The Golden Rule: If you have a moratorium, FORBIDDEN THE SUN. If the sun hits a bruise (hemosiderin), a permanent brown spot will appear (sun tattoo).

 When to do it: Carry out these treatments at least 10-15 days before going on vacation. This gives you time to lower any inflammation and disappear the moratones before being exposed to UV radiation.

 

1. En Clinic: A Skinbooster session on lips (to hydrate, not to plump) and a periocular vitamin cocktail 2 weeks before traveling.
2. Required: Sun stick for eyes (which doesn't stick), Lip stick SPF 50 and cold eye patches for summer evenings.

 

This way, you avoid the wrinkled look and cut lips typical of September.
