Laser facial rejuvenation is a non-surgical method and helps people who want to get rid of age-related skin changes.Modern cosmetology offers many laser-based procedures, which are an excellent alternative to plastic surgery.
What is the technique?
The laser method means recovering the youth of the skin in a very short time.To carry out the procedure, a special device is used that emits rays of different intensity.The effectiveness of the technique is very high, so the positive result is immediately visible.Laser rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes is a rather expensive and time-consuming procedure.
The doctor individually selects the number of procedures and the duration of the session.The standard procedure consists of 5 sessions with a break of one month.This approach can have a gentle effect on the skin.The procedure has a cumulative effect, since after 1 session the natural processes of collagen and elastin production in the inner layers of the skin are revived.Fractional skin rejuvenation can improve your condition.As a result, it becomes more elastic and dense.
The cost of the procedure is affected by:
- laser quality;
- number of areas treated;
- the price of medications used during the session;
- reputation of the beauty salon and qualifications of the cosmetologist.
Laser rejuvenation
Laser resurfacing is performed only on clean skin.The procedure involves a fractional laser action.A special device on its surface has photocells responsible for the penetration of the laser under the skin.
As a result of laser exposure, cells are awakened by a thermal current and those that cannot function die.Healthy cells replace dead cells, thereby increasing the level of elastin and collagen in the skin.
The laser beam in the facial fractional skin rejuvenation procedure is called a laser grid because it is divided into many very thin microscopic beams.This results in minor damage to the epidermis.
A special device is passed over the skin very quickly;just a minute of delay will cause a serious burn.It can be used to treat the entire surface or individual areas of facial skin.
After laser facial rejuvenation, you will notice how:
- improved skin color;
- the oval of the face tensed;
- the bags under the eyes disappeared;
- Small and medium wrinkles have become less noticeable.
The great advantage of this method of facial rejuvenation is that in the outer layer of the skin there are no characteristic transition points between the renewed dermis, there are no tubercles and swelling.Thanks to this fact, the exterior restoration process is almost invisible.
The laser resurfacing method can also be used to improve the results of laser resurfacing and plastic surgery.Once the procedure is completed, the face is treated with a softening solution specially designed for this purpose.
After laser facial skin rejuvenation, cosmetologists recommend following a number of important rules for several days:
- Don't stay in the sun for too long.
- Do not use decorative cosmetics.
- Do not visit the solarium or the beach.
- Do not expose your face to strong winds, chlorinated or salt water.
Advantages of the laser method.
This method of facial rejuvenation allows you to treat large areas of skin in a single procedure, while preserving and revitalizing its regenerative resource.As a result, rehabilitation occurs quickly and a long-term increase in the positive effect is observed.
The fractional laser rejuvenation procedure is carried out with a specific effect, so the epidermis suffers minimal damage.The marks disappear after 3-4 days.No anesthesia is required.
Side effects are rare.In some cases it is observed:
- itching that disappears in a short time;
- temporary appearance of red spots;
- herpes activation;
- peeling and burning of the skin;
- scab formation.
For complete rejuvenation, it is necessary to carry out 4 to 8 sessions.The number of procedures that will be required in your case depends on the age and condition of the skin.A qualified cosmetologist can answer this question for you.Between procedures it is necessary to take a break of 2 to 3 weeks.
Indications and contraindications.
As with any cosmetic procedure, laser resurfacing has indications and contraindications.
Fractional facial rejuvenation helps eliminate:
- fine and deep wrinkles;
- spider veins;
- age spots;
- scars;
- post-acne.
Additionally, laser procedures are indicated for porous skin, uneven skin texture, and decreased tissue tone.The skin will acquire an even and uniform tone.
There are also contraindications for laser facial rejuvenation.They should not be neglected, otherwise serious consequences may occur.
It is prohibited to hold sessions for pregnant and lactating women, as well as people who suffer from:
- serious chronic diseases;
- diabetes mellitus;
- high and low blood pressure;
- mental disorders;
- allergic diseases;
- increased skin sensitivity.
Types of laser resurfacing
There are 2 types of laser rejuvenation, which differ in the method and depth of impact: The first method of laser facial rejuvenation is a procedure in which superficial microscopic areas of the skin are removed.In this case, the laser beam penetrates to a depth of 1.5 mm, which produces:
- the skin begins to tighten;
- regenerative processes are activated;
- the skin improves and softens.
A positive result is visible immediately.This method is used to firm the face, give the skin an ideal appearance and eliminate skin irregularities, for example, during acne treatment.
The procedure perfectly helps to eliminate specific defects, such as:
- expression wrinkles;
- scars;
- pigmentation and others.
The second method of laser resurfacing involves penetrating the laser beam into the deeper layers of the skin, approximately 3 to 5 mm.In this case, the effect on the face is produced using long laser beams.The upper layers of the epidermis are not affected, rejuvenation takes place from the inside.
This fractional laser facial skin rejuvenation helps regenerate the deep layers of the skin.It helps activate metabolic processes and is also necessary for the formation of a stronger collagen structure.This leads to greater firmness and elasticity of the facial skin.
This procedure is quite serious.It is prescribed for very deep scars, severe skin rashes, and also if the face is damaged by chemicals.The main advantage of this method is the complete absence of a recovery period.It differs from the ablative in that the entire surface of the face is treated at once.
Experts advise performing these 2 types of laser facial rejuvenation simultaneously to achieve the greatest effect and maximize tissue restoration processes.
4D Rejuvenation
One of the safest methods aimed at eliminating facial skin defects and tightening it is 4D laser rejuvenation.This method is developed in 4 stages.The skin is exposed to a neodymium laser.The cosmetologist processes the facial tissues on the inside and outside of the cheeks in order.The work is carried out in several ways that enhance the effects of each.
- The first stage involves lifting from the inside of the cheeks, the area around the nose and lips.The device has a special device that is inserted into the oral cavity.The folds that are present in the area of the lips and nose are pushed outward and visually smoothed.The laser beam hits the deep layers, thus boosting collagen production.As a result, the structure of the deep layers is reinforced.
- During the second stage, the skin structure is completely restored, which is expressed in the fact that wrinkles are smoothed, tone and elasticity increase, and pores are narrowed.
- The third stage helps to restore all layers of the skin: deep, middle and superficial.The tissues obtain a biorevitalization effect because they receive a lot of heat in a completely painless way.
- The fourth stage is based on cold peeling technology, which polishes the skin surface.The cosmetologist removes the stratum corneum of the epidermis.As a result, 4D facial rejuvenation results in radiant skin.This result can be achieved in 1 session.The 4 stages are carried out within 1 procedure without interruption, one after the other.
The technique has certain advantages.One of the most important advantages is the painlessness of the procedure.Thanks to the painless effect of the laser, the gums, teeth and oral mucosa are not damaged.
Other positives include:
- efficiency;
- fast and long-lasting results;
- shorter recovery period;
- the possibility of carrying out the procedure at any time of the year.
DOT Rejuvenation Innovation
DOT rejuvenation is a new modern cosmetological method that uses the latest technologies.This procedure is very effective and is carried out in progressive cosmetology centers and plastic surgery clinics.This system is a universal remedy to combat problems caused by skin aging due to the natural biological wear and tear of muscles and connective tissue.
In the case of DOT laser skin rejuvenation, exposure to a special laser with a special wavelength is used.
Through the fractional luminescence of the laser beam in the deep layers of the skin, the following is produced:
- restoration of lymph and blood flow;
- increased production of elastin and collagen;
- improve connective tissue regeneration;
- increased skin turgor;
- resorption of pigment spots, spider veins and nodular joints.
With DOT rejuvenation, the device acts gently on the skin, meaning you can perform a procedure to rejuvenate the eyelids, neck and décolleté.The intensity of the sensations during the session depends on the sensitivity of the skin, the pain threshold and the power of the device's sensors.In order for the patient to feel comfortable during rejuvenation procedures, it is proposed to use one of the methods of local anesthesia in the place where the laser is intended to be used.
The DOT procedure gives positive results gradually.At first, the patient cannot evaluate the consequences, because swelling and redness of the skin is observed.Only after 14 days will the optimal effect be visible.
Neodymium facial rejuvenation method.
The neodymium laser resurfacing method is a new and very effective method.During the manipulation, thermal energy is passed to the skin with a neodymium laser, which begins to affect collagen fibers.This leads to tightening of the skin, initiating the restoration and rejuvenation processes.
As a result of the procedure it is possible:
- improve skin condition;
- refresh color and correct facial contour;
- reduce and smooth fine wrinkles, vascular formations and age spots;
- increase the elasticity and density of the skin.
The neodymium facial rejuvenation method lasts a minimum of 12 months.Its effectiveness can be increased if peeling is performed before the procedure.This approach will help the laser rays contact the skin structure more efficiently and deeply.
