All About Microneedle Patches

From time immemorial, representatives of the beautiful half of humanity have been doing everything to ensure that the first signs of aging visit them as late as possible. If before for these purposes, improvised natural materials were used, now in the era of the development of modern technologies, a huge number of cosmetic products have been developed that help women stay beautiful and young.

The area under the eyes is considered one of the most delicate, it is on it that the age of a woman is usually determined, which is given by wrinkles, dark circles, and especially bags and swelling. Quite a large part of the beauty industry is aimed at helping women overcome this serious problem. Here are creams, masks, and concealers (as a decorative tool). Recently, patches with microneedles, which are also called "beauty commas", have been especially popular.

In simple terms, a patch is a sticker that is impregnated with a special serum with active substances. It "sticks" under the eyes and has a powerful effect on the area that betrays your fatigue, sleepless nights.

Love for patches went to Russian girls from Asian women. Those have long been using this element of cosmetological progress and cannot imagine their beauty ritual without the use of these miraculous remedies.

There is a great variety of different bases and fillings of patches that work with a certain effect. The cost of the product largely depends on this. Inexpensive ones usually have a tissue base, made in the form of a collagen gel. They are good for moisturizing and whitening skin with unwanted dark circles.... Masks for dry and pigmentation-prone skin are also affordable.

Premium brands often favor materials such as silk or biocellulose... The active ingredient is hyaluronic acid and other elements that provide lifting and skin rejuvenation.

It's obvious that ordinary patches are indisputably popular, however, cosmetologists have developed an effective remedy that has truly unique properties - these are patches with microneedles. At the initial stages, similar technologies were used to inject vaccines and drugs through the skin, and later they began to be used to maintain the beauty of a woman's face.

A filler with needles looks like there are hundreds of tiny needles on its "working" surface, which, upon contact with the skin, break off from the patch itself and deliver the beneficial substance directly to the cells of the dermis. Of course, these are not the needles that we are used to understanding by this word, and particles of the active ingredient, which is brought to a solid state by specialists. Getting into the layers of the skin, they begin to simply dissolve.

Let's start with the main advantages of microneedle patches:

1. they penetrate deeply into the stratum corneum of the skin, without injuring it, but at the same time providing a therapeutic effect, which has a beneficial effect on the appearance around the eyes;
2. the result of using patches at home is comparable to cosmetic procedures in the salon;
3. if we compare the effect of conventional fillers and those with microneedles, the latter will be more useful for combating swelling and bags.

As for the shortcomings, they also exist.

1. In order to achieve a lasting effect from patches with microneedles, a course of use is required. The same cannot be said about conventional fillers that have an immediate effect.
2. The cost of quality patches with microneedles is quite high compared to conventional ones, although many experts believe that it is worth paying, because the effect is long-term.

Today, there are several manufacturers of patches with microneedles on the cosmetic market. Since fillers, as mentioned above, came to us from Korea, the conclusion suggests itself that it is there that they make truly high-quality means to combat dark circles under the eyes.

She produces holographic effect patches that are in line with the latest trends in the online blogging industry. The composition of such original anti-dark circles products contains hyaluronic acid of two types, which differ in molecular weight...
