Treatment of eye bags
Treatment of swollen eyelids
Lymphatic drainage treatment
Facial disintoxication treatment

Eye bags are characterized by an edema of swelling in the lower eyelid. They can be caused by the accumulation of liquids, by a presence of localized fat or by genetic origin. The treatment of eye bags is a complex treatment.

In the first place, the bags of watery origen are due to a modification of the parameters of hydric accumulation of the person that suffers them. This organic alteration causes the antiaesthetic bags as manifestation of the incapacity of the kidney to eliminate and drain the excess of liquid. Sometimes, lack of sleep is what is responsable for the bags of watery origin, tiredness or the excess of alcohol and tobacco.They are, undoubtedly, the most common.

Very linked to the eye bags, is presented the swelling of the eyelids. This aesthetic alteration is due to a deficiency of the lymphatic microcirculation of the ocular contour. Maybe there is no relationship with the bags, but it is aggravated with these. It is usually observed on waking up, after a night of little sleep or after having slept a lot. During the night liquid can accumulate that is easily drained by pressing the connective tissue and that are appreciated visually thanks to the multiple blinkings that activate lymphatic microcirculation. A good life hygiene, with enough sleep, and avoiding the consumption of alcohol is the best prevention to avoid swollen eyelids.

This variety of “watery” eye bags that is usually manifested in the mornings on getting up is normally suffered when we sleep too much in a position that favours the flow of humoral liquids towards the head. For this reason, independently of the treatment, you must advise the client affected by these bags that he or she sleeps with a pillow that raises their head from the trunk.

In second place, the bags of fat origin are produced by an accumulation of adipose tissue under the eyes. These bags can have their origin in a multitude of causes, but the lack of emulsion of the fats by the liver stands out. They are seen when the fat over which the eye rests causes some little hernias, that press the connective tissue and that are visually appreciated as bulgings localized under the eyes. These bags are treated surgically in a permanent way, but can also be improved with a treatment continued with AUTOMATIC VITALTERM.

In third place, when the bags have a genetic origin, a permanent aesthetic result cannot be guaranteed under any current technique. The biology of the client is what determines their continual reappearance. These cases have difficult aesthetic treatment. However, a paliative treatment with Capacitive Diarthermia favours the drainage of the exudates and significantly improves the appearance of the client.

To determine the origin of the bag is simple and is performed slightly pressing the eyelid: In the case of bags because of fat, a constant pressure is appreciated and the characteristic dimple is not formed.

The bags are, therefore, manifestations of internal disfunctions with which they are related. Therefore, it is difficult to give them a solution if the internal cause that originates them is not improved. The system of regulation or emulsion of the fats (the liver) in the case of the bags of fatty origin. It is recommendable to send the client for a medical revision of the organic system linked to the nature of the bags.

If you manage to eliminate the cause that generates the aesthetic disfunction, it is logical to think that the consequence will also be to dim (the bags themselves). If on the other hand, you work exclusively on the manifestation of the program, you will be able to obtain a transitory effect according to each organism.

The treatment of eye bags manages to improve the drainage of the retained and of the exudates in the outline of the eyes. For this reason, lymphatic circulation must be improved and the reduction of the edema for the retention of liquids.

The treatment consists of application of the appliance together with an adequate cosmetological product for the nature of the bags: For those of watery origin, you will opt for a product with draining active principles or of orbicular treatment; for the bags of adipose origin. The treatment consists of the application of the apparatus of AUTOMATIC VITALTERM together with a cosmetological product adequate for the nature of the bags: for those of watery origin, it will be opted for a product with draining active principles or of orbicular treatment; for the bags of adipose origin, it will be opted for a product with lipolitic principles. The cosmetological product chosen must have a pleasant texture for its penetration. Priority will be given to those cosmetics in gel form. The emulsioned forms could aggravate the problem.

Next, the apparatus of AUTOMATIC VITALTERM will be applied such as is shown in the adjoining diagrams. The application must be performed with confidence on behalf of the operator, safety and decision.

The treatment of Diathermia must be performed under the individual parameters of each client. The passive plate is placed between the homoplates and must remain well-fixed to the body at all times. As a general rule, the same pressure that the body of the client exerts on lying down on the bed is enough to ensure total contact, but even so you must prevent it from being moved. The application of the apparatus must be performed in the whole ocular surface.

The speed of application must be medium and must always correspond to the electrical characteristics of the treated tissue (extremely sensitive, concerning the fine skin that surrounds the eye and the great watery concentration of the eye in itself). Greater sensation of heat is produced in those zones with greater bone presence: or rather, the cheek bone and the temple. The power of application must also be adjusted to these individual properties (20-25%) and must be regulated continually throughout the session, according to the subjective indications that the client gives.

The size of the appliers must be coherent with the zone of treatment selected (The round plate of 33 mm of diameter is chosen by defect) and the natural size of the factions of the client must not be exceeded. The manipulation of the applier must be flat over the surface of the skin at all times, adapting itself to the irregularities of the client’s factions.

The recommendable standard of treatment is of 2 to 3 sessions per week on alternate days. It is advised between 10 and 15 sessions, according to the seriousness of the problem. The approximate treatment time is of 10 minutes per session (between 5 and 7 minutes per eye is enough). The treatment is completed with one maintenance session per month.

It is recommendable to complete this treatment applying the active plate in the renal zone (back) and the passive plate in the abdomen perpendicularly in the case of eye bags of watery origin. In the case of eye bags of adipose origin, it is advisable to apply the plate at the height of the liver (back) and the passive plate perpendicularly to the previous (abdomen) . This treatment must be prolonged for 20 minutes. Its aim is to stimulate the functioning of these organs and contribute to the functions of drainage and cleaning of the organism. It is recommended to perform hand massages or stimulation of the organic functions of elimination by means of podal reflexology,

The results that have been obtained are better in the eye rings of watery origin than in those of adipose origin. These last ones are also visibly reduced on decongestioning the orbicular zone, but its final treatment is usually surgical.

TREATMENT TYPE: Eye bags
NUMBER OF SESSIONS: 10 sessions
TIME PER SESSION: 10 minutes (five minutes in each eye)
FRECUENCY OF THE SESSIONS: twice per week
PRODUCT USED: Conducting gel, antiwrinkle product, firming product, product of eye contours, draining product, lipolitic product.
PROBLEM: The presence of bags under the eyes. It is necessary to specify the origin of the eye bags: genetic, pathological, due to stress, to tiredness, etc.
ELEMENTS TO TREAT: The contour of the eyes and eye bags.
POSITION OF THE CLIENT: The client must be lying down.
ACCESSORIES Round circular plate.
-Size Small or the second measure of the round plates. The choice is according to the problem and the shape of the eyelid.
- Application: Sliding application of the round plate. In this zone you must not make circular movement because it would be unpleasant for the client, since it would open and close the eyelid continually with the resulting risk of penetration of product ..
PERFORMANCE: Introduce the appropriate product for the eye bags by means of a massage with the fingertips. Put the conducting gel on the surface of the ocular cavity with the help of a tweezer. Apply the circular plate, with much softness, without pressing, by the eye rings and eye lids for 5 minutes. Do the same process with the other eye.
RECOMMENDABLE COMPLEMENTS: A specific face mask. Consumption of depurative infusions linked to the organ thart give rise to the bags.
RESULTS The eye bags that have their origin in tiredness or in the stress of the client obtain a very considerable improvement. The bringing of oxygen that produces the apparatus of AUTOMATIC VITALTERM contributes to the elimination of retained toxins, to the increase of blood flow in the zone and to the regeneration of the tissues and of the cells. The eye bags reduce and the skin acquires greater smoothness.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: None known. Make sure that you don’t wear contact lenses.
COMMENTARY The skin must be prepared before beginning the treatment. For this it is necessary to procede to clean the whole zone of make up, even the mascara of the eye lashes.
The power of the apparatus to apply over the ocular zone must be low, concerning an extremely sensitive zone.
You must ask the client what is the cause of the appearance of the eye bags. If with the result of some internal disorder, you must warn ,her that they will come out again. If the problem is genetic, it is very difficult that the eye rings disappear. They can be improved, but they will always be noticed. In the case of eye bags whose origin is stress, an improvement is observed.
