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 restoring the youthfulness of the skin in a very short period of time.To carry out the procedure, a special device is used that emits rays of varying 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 number of procedures and session duration are selected by the doctor individually.The standard procedure involves 5 sessions with a one-month break.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 are reactivated in the internal 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 influenced 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 rejuvenation is performed only on clean skin.The procedure involves fractional laser action.A special device on its surface has photocells responsible for penetrating the laser under the skin.
As a result of exposure to the laser, 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 is moved over the skin very quickly;just one minute late will cause a severe burn.It can be used to treat the entire surface or individual areas of facial skin.
After laser facial rejuvenation, it becomes noticeable how:
- improvement of skin color;
- the oval of the face was narrowed;
- the bags under the eyes have disappeared;
- Small and medium wrinkles have become less noticeable.
The big 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 or swellings.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 completing the procedure, the face is treated with a softening solution specially designed for this purpose.
After facial skin rejuvenation with laser, cosmetologists recommend following a number of important rules for several days:
- Don't 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, preserving and revitalizing its regenerative resource.As a result, rehabilitation occurs quickly and a long-term increase in positive effect is observed.
The fractional laser rejuvenation procedure is performed with a targeted effect, so the epidermis is minimally damaged.The signs disappear after 3-4 days.No anesthesia is required.
Side effects are rare.In some cases we observe:
- itching that disappears quickly;
- temporary appearance of red spots;
- herpes activation;
- flaking and burning of the skin;
- crust formation.
For complete rejuvenation it is necessary to undergo 4 to 8 sessions.How many procedures will be necessary in your case depends on your age and skin condition.A qualified cosmetologist can answer this question for you.Between procedures you need to take a break of 2-3 weeks.
Indications and contraindications
Like any cosmetic procedure, laser rejuvenation has indications and contraindications.
Fractional facial rejuvenation helps eliminate:
- deep and fine wrinkles;
- varicose veins;
- age spots;
- scars;
- post-acne.
Furthermore, laser procedures are indicated in case of porous skin, irregular skin structure and decreased tissue tone.The skin will acquire a smooth, even tone.
There are also contraindications for laser facial rejuvenation.They should not be neglected, otherwise serious consequences may occur.
It is forbidden to conduct sessions for pregnant and breastfeeding 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 rejuvenation
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 up to a depth of 1.5 mm, determining:
- the skin begins to tighten;
- regenerative processes are activated;
- the skin improves and smoothes.
A positive result is immediately visible.This method is used to firm the face, give the skin an ideal appearance and eliminate skin irregularities, for example when treating acne.
The procedure perfectly helps to eliminate spot defects, such as:
- expression wrinkles;
- scars;
- pigmentation and others.
The second method of laser rejuvenation consists in penetrating 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, rejuvenation is performed 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 ablative in that the entire surface of the face is treated simultaneously.
Experts recommend carrying out these 2 types of laser facial rejuvenation simultaneously to achieve maximum effect and maximize tissue restoration processes.
4D rejuvenation
One of the safest methods to eliminate facial skin defects and firm it is 4D laser rejuvenation.This method takes place in 4 phases.The skin is exposed to a neodymium laser.The cosmetologist neatly treats the facial tissues on the inside and outside of the cheeks.The work is carried out in various ways that enhance each other's effects.
- The first phase involves lifting 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.Folds in the lip and nose area are visually pushed and smoothed.The laser beam hits the deep layers, thus stimulating the production of collagen.As a result, the structure of the deep layers is strengthened.
- In the second stage the structure of the skin is completely restored, which is expressed in the fact that wrinkles are smoothed, tone and elasticity increase, and pores narrow.
- The third phase helps to restore all layers of the skin: deep, medium and superficial.The tissues receive a biorevitalization effect as they receive a lot of heat in a completely painless way.
- The fourth phase 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 in 1 procedure without interruption, one after the other.
The technique has some 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 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 highly effective and is performed 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 wilting of muscles and connective tissue.
In the case of DOT laser skin rejuvenation, exposure to a special laser with a special wavelength is used.
The following occurs through the luminescence of the fractional laser beam in the deep layers of the skin:
- restoration of lymphatic flow and blood flow;
- increased production of elastin and collagen;
- improve the regeneration of connective tissue;
- increased skin firmness;
- resorption of pigmentary spots, varicose veins and nodular joints.
With DOT rejuvenation, the device acts gently on the skin, which means that a procedure can be performed to rejuvenate the eyelids, neck and décolleté.The intensity of sensations during the session depends on the sensitivity of the skin, the pain threshold and the strength of the device's sensors.To make the patient comfortable during rejuvenation procedures, it is proposed to use one of the methods of local anesthesia in the place where you plan to use the laser.
The DOT procedure gives positive results gradually.Initially, the patient is not able to assess the consequences, as 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 rejuvenation method is a new and very effective method.During 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 processes of restoration and rejuvenation.
Following the procedure you can:
- improve skin condition;
- refresh the color and correct the contour of the face;
- reduce and smooth out 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 beams contact the skin structure more efficiently and deeply.
