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 restoration of young skin in a very short period of time.To carry out the procedure, a special device is used that emits rays of different power.The effectiveness of the technique is very high, so the positive result is immediately visible.Rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes with a laser is quite an expensive and time-consuming process.
The number of procedures and the duration of the session are selected 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 renewal 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 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 resurfacing is only done 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 the dead cells, thus increasing the level of elastin and collagen in the skin.
The laser beam in the process of fractional facial skin rejuvenation is called a laser grid, because it is divided into many very fine microscopic beams.This results in minor skin damage.
A special device moves over the skin very quickly.just one minute of delay will result in a serious burn.It can be used to treat the entire surface or individual areas of the facial skin.
After laser facial rejuvenation, it is noticeable how:
- improved skin color;
- the oval of the face tightened.
- 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 points of transition between the renewed dermis, there are 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 is completed, the face is treated with a softening solution specially designed for this purpose.
After rejuvenating the skin of the face with a laser, cosmetologists recommend following some important rules for several days:
- Do not stay in the sun for a long time.
- 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 the skin in one procedure, while its regenerative pore is preserved and rejuvenated.As a result, recovery takes place quickly and a long-term increase in the positive effect is observed.
The laser fractional rejuvenation procedure is carried out with a targeted effect, so the skin 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 subsides in a short time.
- temporary appearance of red spots.
- activation of herpes;
- peeling and burning of the skin.
- crust formation.
For complete rejuvenation, you need to undergo from 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 need to take a break of 2-3 weeks.
Indications and contraindications
As with any aesthetic procedure, laser rejuvenation has indications and contraindications.
Fractional facelift helps eliminate:
- deep and fine wrinkles;
- spider veins;
- age spots;
- scars;
- after acne.
In addition, laser procedures 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 neglected, otherwise serious consequences may occur.
Sessions are prohibited for pregnant and lactating women, as well as for people 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 resurfacing, differing in the method and depth of impact: The first method of laser resurfacing 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, resulting in:
- the skin begins to tighten.
- regenerative processes are activated.
- the skin is improved and smoothed.
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, when treating acne.
The procedure perfectly helps to eliminate point defects, such as:
- expression wrinkles;
- scars;
- pigmentation and more.
The second method of laser rejuvenation is the penetration of the laser beam into the deeper layers of the skin - about 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 rejuvenation takes place from within.
This fractional laser facial 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 process is quite serious.It is prescribed for very deep scars, severe rashes and also if the face has been 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, in order to achieve the maximum result and maximize tissue restoration processes.
4D revitalization
One of the safest methods aimed at getting rid of facial skin defects and tightening it is 4D laser resurfacing.This method is carried out in 4 stages.The skin is exposed to a neodymium laser.The cosmetologist treats the facial tissues on the inside and outside of the cheeks in turn.Work is performed in a variety of ways that reinforce each other's results.
- 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 present in the area of the lips and nose are pushed out and visually smoothed.The laser beam affects the deep layers, thus stimulating collagen production.As a result, the structure of the deep layers is tightened.
- During the second stage, the structure of the skin is completely restored, which is expressed in the fact that wrinkles are smoothed out, tone and elasticity increase and pores are narrowed.
- The third stage helps to restore all skin layers: deep, middle and superficial.The tissues have a biorejuvenation 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 skin.As a result, 4D facial rejuvenation results in glowing skin.This result can be achieved in 1 session.All 4 stages are carried out in 1 process without interruption, one after the other.
The technique has some advantages.One of the most important advantages is the painless process.Thanks to the painless effect of the laser, the gums, teeth and oral mucosa are not damaged.
Other positive aspects include:
- effectiveness?
- fast and lasting results.
- short recovery period;
- the possibility of carrying out the procedure at any time of the year.
DOT Revitalization Innovation
DOT rejuvenation is a new modern cosmetology method that uses the latest technologies.This procedure is highly effective and is carried out in progressive cosmetology centers and plastic surgery clinics.This system is a universal treatment to combat problems caused by skin aging due to the natural biological withering of muscles and connective tissue.
In the case of DOT laser skin rejuvenation, exposure to a special laser with a specific wavelength is used.
Through the fractional luminescent laser beam, the following occurs in the deep layers of the skin:
- restoration of lymphatic flow and blood flow.
- increased production of elastin and collagen.
- strengthening the regeneration of connective tissue.
- Increased skin thrust.
- absorption of pigment spots, spider veins and nodular joints.
With DOT rejuvenation, the device acts gently on the skin, which means 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 strength of the device's sensors.To facilitate the patient during the resuscitation procedures, it is recommended to use one of the methods of local anesthesia in the place where the laser is intended to be used.
The DOT process gives positive results gradually.Initially, the patient is not able to appreciate the consequences, because swelling and redness of the skin is observed.Only after 14 days will the optimal result be visible.
Neodymium Facial Rejuvenation Method
The neodymium laser rejuvenation method is a new, very effective method.During the manipulation, thermal energy is injected 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 restoration and rejuvenation processes.
As a result of the procedure it is possible:
- improvement of skin condition.
- refresh the color and correct the contour of the face.
- reduction and smoothing of fine wrinkles, vascular formations and age spots.
- increase the elasticity and density of the skin.
The neodymium facial rejuvenation method lasts at least 12 months.Its effectiveness can be increased if peeling is done before the procedure.This approach will help the laser rays to contact the skin structure more effectively and deeply.
