Laser facial rejuvenation refers to non-surgical methods and helps people who want to get rid of aging-related skin changes. Modern cosmetology offers a variety of laser-based 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 time. For the procedure, a special apparatus is used that emits rays of different intensities. The effectiveness of the technique is very high, so a positive result is visible immediately. Laser rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes is a very expensive and laborious procedure.
The number of procedures and the duration of the session are selected by the doctor individually. The standard procedure consists of 5 sessions with an interval per month. This approach is capable of moderately affecting the skin. The procedure has a cumulative effect, as the natural processes of collagen and elastin production are revived in the inner layers of the skin after 1 session. Fractional rejuvenation of the skin 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 to be treated;
- price of care products that are applied during the session;
- the beauty salon's reputation and the beautician's qualifications.
Performing laser rejuvenation
Laser rejuvenation is performed only on clean skin. The procedure consists of the fractional action of the laser. A special device has photocells on its surface, responsible for the penetration of the laser under the skin.
As a result of the action of the laser, with the aid of the heat current, cells are awakened and those that do not work die. Healthy cells replace dead cells, thereby increasing the level of elastin and collagen in the skin.
A laser beam in the fractional rejuvenation procedure for facial skin is called a laser matrix, because it is divided into many very fine microscopic beams. This results in minor damage to the epidermis.
A special device is applied to the skin very quickly; just a minute late can cause severe burns. Can be used to treat the entire surface or individual skin areas of the face.
After laser facial rejuvenation, it becomes noticeable as:
- improved skin color;
- tight oval face;
- bags under the eyes are gone;
- small to medium wrinkles are less visible.
A 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, nor tubers and swelling. Due to this fact, the external recovery 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 specially designed emollient solution.
After laser facial skin rejuvenation, beauticians recommend following a series of important rules for several days:
- Avoid exposure to the sun.
- Don't wear makeup.
- Don't go to the solarium and the beach.
- Do not expose your face to strong wind, chlorinated water or salt water.
Advantages of the laser method
This facial rejuvenation method allows you to process large areas of the skin in 1 procedure, while its regenerative resource is preserved and revitalized. As a result, rehabilitation comes quickly and there is a long-term increase in the positive effect.
Fractional laser rejuvenation is performed with a punctual effect, so that the epidermis is minimally damaged. The traces disappear within 3-4 days. Anesthesia is not required.
Side effects are rare. In some cases, there is:
- itch that goes away in a short time;
- temporary red spots;
- activating herpes;
- skin peeling and burns;
- crust.
For complete rejuvenation, you need to go through 4 to 8 sessions. The amount of procedures required in your case depends on your age and skin condition. A qualified cosmetologist can answer that question. There should be a 2-3 week interval between procedures.
Indications and contraindications
Like any cosmetic procedure, laser rejuvenation has indications and contraindications.
Fractional facial rejuvenation helps eliminate:
- deep and fine wrinkles;
- pots;
- age spots; scar
- ;
- acne.
In addition, laser procedures are indicated for porous skin, irregular relief and decreased tissue tone. The skin will acquire a uniform and uniform tone.
There are contraindications for laser facial rejuvenation. They should not be overlooked, otherwise serious consequences can occur.
It is forbidden to hold sessions for pregnant and lactating women, as well as those with:
- 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 vary in the method and depth of exposure: The first laser facial rejuvenation method is a procedure that removes superficial microscopic areas of the skin. In this case, the laser beam penetrates at a depth of 1. 5 mm, resulting in:
- the skin starts to tighten;
- regenerative processes are activated;
- the skin is improved and smoothed.
A positive result is immediately visible. This method is used to lift the face, give the skin an ideal appearance, eliminate skin irregularities, for example, during the treatment of acne.
The procedure is great for eliminating specific imperfections, such as:
- simulates wrinkles;
- scars;
- pigmentation and others.
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 face is exposed by means of long laser beams. The upper layers of the epidermis are unaffected, rejuvenation is done from the inside.
This fractional laser facial skin rejuvenation helps to regenerate the deep layers of the skin. It promotes the activation of metabolic processes, being also necessary for the formation of a more durable collagen structure. This leads to an increase in skin firmness and elasticity.
This procedure is very serious. It is prescribed for very deep scars, severe skin rashes and if the face is damaged by chemicals. The main advantage of this method is the total absence of a recovery period. It differs from the ablative because the entire face surface is processed at once.
Experts advise performing these 2 types of laser facial rejuvenation simultaneously to obtain the greatest effect and maximize the activation of tissue repair processes.
4D rejuvenation
4D laser rejuvenation is one of the safest ways to remove stains and tighten. This method occurs in 4 steps. The skin is exposed to a neodymium laser. The beautician processes facial tissues in the order of the inside and outside of the cheeks. The works are carried out in different modalities, reinforcing each other's action.
- The first step is to lift 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 present in the area of the lips and nose are projected outward and visually smoothed. The laser beam affects the deeper layers, thus pushing the collagen to be produced. As a result, the structure of the deep layers is reinforced.
- During the second stage, a complete restoration of the skin structure occurs, which is expressed in the fact that wrinkles are smoothed, tonicity, elasticity and tight pores.
- The third stage helps to restore all layers of the skin: deep, medium and superficial. The biorevitalization effect is provided to the fabrics because they receive a lot of heat in a totally painless way.
- The fourth stage is based on cold peeling technology, during which the surface of the skin is polished. The beautician removes the stratum corneum from the epidermis. As a result, 4D facial rejuvenation results in radiant skin. This result can be achieved in 1 session. All 4 steps are performed in 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. The painless effect of the laser does not harm gums, teeth and oral mucosa.
Other positives include:
- efficiency;
- fast and permanent result;
- shorter recovery period;
- the possibility to perform the procedure at any time of the year.
DOT rejuvenation innovation
DOT rejuvenation is a new modern cosmetic method that uses the latest technologies. This procedure is highly effective, performed in progressive cosmetology centers and plastic surgery clinics. This system is a versatile remedy for problems caused by skin aging due to the natural biological deterioration of muscle and connective tissue.
In the case of DOT laser skin rejuvenation, a special laser with a special wavelength is applied.
The radiation from the fractional laser beam in the deep layers of the skin occurs:
- restoration of lymphatic flow and blood flow;
- increased production of elastin and collagen;
- increased connective tissue regeneration;
- increased skin turgor;
- resorption of age spots, vascular networks and nodules.
During DOT rejuvenation, the device acts on the skin gently, which means that you can perform the 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. In order to make the patient comfortable during manipulations of rejuvenation, it is proposed to apply one of the methods of local anesthesia in the place where the laser operation is planned.
The DOT procedure gradually gives a positive result. At first, the patient is unable to assess the consequences, as there is swelling and redness of the skin. Only after 14 days will the ideal effect be seen.
Neodymium facial rejuvenation method
The neodymium laser rejuvenation method is a new and very effective method. During manipulation, thermal energy is transmitted to the skin with a neodymium laser, which begins to affect collagen fibers. This leads to the fact that they tighten the skin coverage, initiating the recovery and rejuvenation processes.
As a result of the procedure, it is possible to:
- improves skin condition;
- updates the color and corrects the face contour;
- reduce, smooth fine wrinkles, vascular formations and age spots;
- improves the firmness and density of the skin.
The neodymium facial rejuvenation method lasts at least 12 months. Its effectiveness can be increased if the peeling is done before the procedure. This approach will help the laser beams to come in better and deeper contact with the skin structure.
