Laser facial rejuvenation is a non-surgical method and helps people who want to get rid of age-related changes in their skin.Modern cosmetology offers numerous laser procedures that are an excellent alternative to plastic surgery.
What is the technique?
The laser method means restoring the youth of the skin in a very short period of time.To perform the procedure, a special device is used that emits rays of different strengths.The effectiveness of the technique is very high, so the positive result is visible immediately.Laser rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes is a rather expensive and time-consuming procedure.
The number of procedures and the duration of the session are selected individually by the doctor.The standard procedure consists of 5 sessions with a month break.This approach can have a gentle effect on the skin.The procedure has a cumulative effect, because after 1 session, the natural processes of collagen and elastin production are restored in the inner layers of the skin.Fractional skin rejuvenation can improve its condition.As a result, it becomes more elastic and dense.
The cost of the procedure is affected by:
- laser quality;
- number of treated areas;
- the cost of maintenance drugs used during the session;
- reputation of the beauty salon and qualification of cosmetics.
Laser rejuvenation
Laser rejuvenation is performed only on clean skin.The procedure involves fractional laser exposure.A special device on its surface has photocells responsible for the penetration of the laser under the skin.
As a result of exposure to the laser, the cells wake up with a thermal current, and those that cannot function die.Healthy cells replace dead cells, thus increasing the level of elastin and collagen in the skin.
The laser beam in the fractional facial skin rejuvenation procedure is called a laser beam because it is divided into many very thin microscopic beams.This leads to slight damage to the epidermis.
A special device moves on the skin very quickly;just one minute delay will result in severe burn.It can be used to treat the entire surface or individual areas of the skin of the face.
After laser facial rejuvenation, it is noticeable how:
- improved skin color;
- the oval of the face was tight;
- 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, no tubercles or swellings.Thanks to this fact, the external recovery process is almost imperceptible.
The laser rejuvenation method can also be used to enhance the results of laser resurfacing and plastic surgery.After the procedure is completed, the face is treated with a softening solution specially created for the purpose.
After laser facial skin rejuvenation, cosmetologists recommend following a number of important rules for a few days:
- Do not stay in the sun for a long time.
- Do not use decorative cosmetics.
- Do not visit a tanning bed or beach.
- Do not expose your face to strong wind, chlorinated or salt water.
Advantages of the laser method
This method of facial rejuvenation allows you to treat large areas of the skin with one procedure, while its regenerative resource is preserved and revitalized.As a result, rehabilitation occurs quickly and a long-term increase in the positive effect is observed.
The fractional laser rejuvenation procedure is performed with a targeted effect, so the epidermis is minimally damaged.The marks disappear after 3-4 days.No anesthesia is required.
Side effects are rare.In some cases, it is observed:
- itching that passes in a short time;
- temporary appearance of red spots;
- activation of herpes;
- peeling and burning of the skin;
- crust formation.
For complete rejuvenation, it is necessary to go through 4 to 8 sessions.How many procedures will be needed in your case depends on the age and condition of the skin.A qualified cosmetologist can answer this question for you.You should take a break of 2-3 weeks between procedures.
Indications and contraindications
Like any cosmetic procedure, laser rejuvenation has indications and contraindications.
Partial facial rejuvenation helps to eliminate:
- deep and fine wrinkles;
- spider veins;
- age spots;
- marks;
- after acne.
In addition, laser treatments are indicated for porous skin, uneven skin texture and reduced tissue tone.The skin will acquire an even and uniform tone.
There are also contraindications for laser facial rejuvenation.They should not be ignored, otherwise serious consequences may occur.
It is forbidden to hold sessions for pregnant and lactating women, as well as for people suffering from:
- severe chronic diseases;
- diabetes mellitus;
- low and high blood pressure;
- mental disorders;
- allergic diseases;
- increased skin sensitivity.
Types of laser rejuvenation
There are 2 types of laser rejuvenation, differing 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 leads to:
- the skin begins to tighten;
- regenerative processes are activated;
- the skin is improved and smoothed.
The positive result is visible immediately.This method is used to tighten the face, give the skin an ideal look and remove skin irregularities, for example during acne treatment.
The procedure perfectly helps to remove point defects, such as:
- expressive wrinkles;
- marks;
- pigmentation and others.
The second method of laser rejuvenation is the penetration of the laser beam into the deeper layers of the skin - approximately 3-5 mm.In this case, the effect on the face is carried out 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 to regenerate the deep layers of the skin.It helps to activate metabolic processes and is necessary for the formation of a stronger collagen framework.This leads to increased tightness and elasticity of the skin of the face.
This procedure is quite serious.It is prescribed for very deep scars, serious 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 ablative in that the entire surface of the face is treated at once.
Experts advise that these 2 types of laser facial rejuvenation be performed simultaneously to achieve the greatest effect and to increase tissue repair processes.
Rejuvenation 4D
One of the safest methods aimed at removing defects on the skin of the face and tightening it is 4D laser rejuvenation.This method takes place in 4 stages.The skin is exposed to a neodymium laser.The cosmetologist treats the facial tissues from the inside and outside of the cheeks in order.The work is carried out in different modes, which mutually enhance their effects.
- The first stage includes lifting of 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 in the area of the lips and nose are pushed and visually smoothed.The laser beam affects the deep layers, thus stimulating the production of collagen.As a result, the structure of the deep layers tightens.
- In the second stage, the structure of the skin is completely restored, which is expressed in the smoothing of wrinkles, increase in tone and elasticity and narrowing of pores.
- The third stage helps to restore all layers of the skin: deep, middle and superficial.The tissues get a biorevitalization effect due to the fact that they receive a lot of heat completely painlessly.
- The fourth stage is based on cold peeling technology, which polishes the surface of the skin.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.All 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 positive aspects include:
- efficiency;
- quick and lasting results;
- short recovery period;
- possibility of carrying out the procedure at any time of the year.
Innovation of DOT rejuvenation
DOT rejuvenation is a new modern cosmetic method using the latest technologies.This procedure is very effective and is performed in progressive cosmetology centers and plastic surgery clinics.This system is a universal tool to combat the problems caused by skin aging due to the natural biological drying of muscle and connective tissue.
Laser DOT skin rejuvenation uses exposure to a special laser with a special wavelength.
Fractional luminescence of a laser beam in the deep layers of the skin produces the following:
- restoration of lymphatic flow and blood flow;
- increased production of elastin and collagen;
- strengthening the regeneration of connective tissue;
- increased skin turgor;
- resorption of pigment spots, cobwebs and nodal joints.
With DOT rejuvenation, the device acts delicately on the skin, which means you can perform a rejuvenation procedure on 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 strength of the device's sensors.To ensure the patient's comfort during the rejuvenating procedures, it is recommended to use one of the methods of local anesthesia in the place where the laser is intended.
The DOT procedure gives positive results gradually.At first, the patient cannot appreciate the consequences, as swelling and redness of the skin are observed.The optimal effect will be visible only after 14 days.
Neodymium facial rejuvenation method
The neodymium laser rejuvenation method is a new, very effective method.During the manipulation, thermal energy is transmitted into the skin with a neodymium laser, which begins to affect the collagen fibers.This leads to the fact that they tighten the skin, starting the recovery and rejuvenation processes.
As a result of the procedure, it is possible:
- improvement of skin condition;
- refreshing the color and correcting the contour of the face;
- reduces and smoothes 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 done before the procedure.This approach will help the laser beams to contact the skin structure more effectively and deeply.
