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 many laser-based procedures, which are an excellent alternative to plastic surgery.
What is the technique?
The laser method means the restoration of youthful skin in a very short period of time.To perform the procedure, a special device is used that emits rays of different powers.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 very expensive and time-consuming procedure.
The number of procedures and the duration of the session are chosen by the doctor individually.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 its condition.As a result, it becomes more elastic and dense.
The cost of the procedure is affected by:
- laser quality;
- the number of areas treated;
- the price of care medications used during the session;
- the reputation of the beauty salon and the qualifications of the cosmetologist.
Laser rejuvenation
Laser rejuvenation is performed only on clean skin.The procedure involves fractional laser action.A special device on its surface has photocells responsible for laser penetration under the skin.
As a result of laser exposure, cells are awakened using 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 grid, because it is divided into many very thin microscopic beams.This results in minor damage to the epidermis.
A special device moves very quickly over the skin;just one minute delay will lead to a 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 becomes apparent how:
- improved skin color;
- the oval of the face tightened;
- bags under the eyes disappeared;
- Small and medium wrinkles have become less visible.
The great advantage of this method of facial rejuvenation is that in the outer layer of the skin there are no characteristic points of transition between the renewed dermis, no tubercles or swelling.Thanks to this fact, the external restoration process is almost invisible.
The laser rejuvenation method can also be used to improve the results of laser resurfacing and plastic surgery.After the procedure, 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 a few days:
- Do not stay in the sun for a long time.
- Do not use decorative cosmetics.
- Do not visit the sunroom or the beach.
- Do not expose your face to strong winds, chlorinated or salty water.
Advantages of the laser method
This method of facial rejuvenation allows you to treat large areas of the skin in one procedure, while its regenerative source 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.Signs disappear after 3-4 days.No anesthesia is required.
Side effects are rare.In some cases it is observed:
- itching that goes away in a short time;
- temporary appearance of red spots;
- herpes activation;
- peeling and burning of the skin;
- crust formation.
For complete rejuvenation, you need to undergo 4 to 8 sessions.How many procedures 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 you should take a break of 2-3 weeks.
Indications and contraindications
As with any cosmetic procedure, laser rejuvenation has indications and contraindications.
Fractional facial rejuvenation helps eliminate:
- deep and thin wrinkles;
- spider veins;
- age spots;
- wounds;
- after acne.
In addition, laser procedures are indicated for porous skin, uneven skin structure and decreased tissue tone.The skin will acquire a uniform and even 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 for persons suffering from:
- serious chronic diseases;
- diabetes mellitus;
- low and high blood pressure;
- mental disorders;
- allergic diseases;
- increased skin sensitivity.
Types of laser resurfacing
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 microscopic superficial areas of the skin are removed.In this case, the laser beam penetrates to a depth of 1.5 mm, resulting in:
- 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 tighten the face, give the skin an ideal appearance and eliminate skin irregularities, for example, during the treatment of acne.
The procedure helps to eliminate defects in place, such as:
- expression wrinkles;
- wounds;
- 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 occurs using long laser beams.The upper layers of the epidermis are not affected, the renewal is carried out from the inside.
This fractional laser facial skin resurfacing helps regenerate the deep layers of the skin.It helps to activate metabolic processes and is also necessary for the formation of a stronger collagen framework.This leads to increased firmness and elasticity of the facial skin.
This procedure is quite serious.It is prescribed for very deep wounds, severe redness, as well as 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 performing these 2 types of laser facial rejuvenation at the same time to achieve the greatest effect and maximize tissue restoration processes.
4D Renewal
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 treats facial tissue on the inside and outside of the cheeks in order.Work is done in different ways that enhance each other's effects.
- The first stage involves lifting from the inside of the cheeks, the area around the nose and the 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 and softened visually.The laser beam affects the deep layers, thus pushing the production of collagen.As a result, the structure of the deep layers is tightened.
- During the second phase, the skin structure is completely restored, which is expressed in the smoothing of wrinkles, increased tone and elasticity, and narrowing of pores.
- The third phase helps to restore all skin layers: deep, middle and superficial.Tissues are provided with 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 performed within 1 procedure without interruption, one after the other.
The technique has several 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;
- fast and lasting results;
- short recovery period;
- the possibility of performing the procedure at any time of the year.
DOT Renewal Innovation
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 remedy to combat the problems caused by skin aging due to the natural biological drying 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 occurs:
- restoration of lymphatic flow and blood flow;
- increased production of elastin and collagen;
- increased regeneration of connective tissue;
- increased skin turgor;
- resorption of pigment spots, spider veins and nodular nodes.
With DOT rejuvenation, the device acts delicately on the skin, which means you can perform a procedure for rejuvenating 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.To make the patient comfortable during the 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 is not able to assess the consequences, because swelling and redness of the skin is observed.The optimal effect will be visible only after 14 days.
Method of facial rejuvenation with neodymium
The neodymium laser rejuvenation method is a new, very effective method.During the manipulation, thermal energy passes to 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 restoration and renewal processes.
As a result of the procedure it is possible:
- improves skin condition;
- refresh the color and correct the contour of the face;
- reduce and soften fine wrinkles, vascular formations and age spots;
- increase the elasticity and density of the skin.
The neodymium method of facial rejuvenation lasts at least 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 efficiently and deeply.
