The eyes are one of the first areas of the face to show signs of aging. In a study examining the preferences of aesthetically oriented women, the majority of respondents ranked the periorbital area as one of the areas of the face that bothered them the most.
The skin around the eyes is thin, especially vulnerable to dehydration, has almost no subcutaneous fat, it is a mimically active area. A key role in periorbital skin aging is played by the degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which consists mainly of collagen, elastin and fibronectin and serves as the supporting structure of the skin.
