Abstract

Eyes area is of high importance in esthetic dermatology. This area is one of the most difficult for procedures. Skillful treatment can significantly improve the quality of patients’ life. The aim of the study was to present and differentiate a variety of changes observed in the eye area and factors stimulating their appearance and enhancing intensity. This article also presents treatment methods in the field of esthetic dermatology, which are used in the in the following problems: eyelid edema, fatty bags under the eyes, vascular circles under the eyes, pigment shadows, periorbital melanosis, structural shadows, tear trough, wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity and dry skin around the eyes. Their correct diagnosis requires the knowledge of the characteristics of the skin structure within the eye area and also the mechanisms responsible for disorders in its functioning. Many patients and people performing procedures, limit the problems within eye area to a generalized division into shadows, swelling and wrinkles under the eyes and probably to one selected form of therapy. However, as it has been shown in this review, the variety of defects is large. Actions in case of problems with skin around the eyes require a systemic, multi-specialist.
