Laser facial rejuvenation refers to non-surgical methods and helps people who want to get rid of age-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. A special device is used for the procedure, which emits rays of different strength. The efficiency of the technique is very high, so you can immediately see a positive result. 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 chosen by the doctor individually. The standard procedure consists of 5 sessions with a break per month. This approach is able to have little effect on 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 skin rejuvenation can improve its condition. As a result, it becomes more elastic and dense.
The price of the procedure is influenced by:
- laser quality;
- number of areas to be treated;
- price of care products that are applied during the session;
- the reputation of the beauty salon and the qualification of the beautician.
Carrying out laser rejuvenation
Laser rejuvenation is performed only on clean skin. The procedure consists in the fractional action of the laser. A special device has photocells on its surface that are responsible for the penetration of the laser under the skin.
As a result of the action of the laser, with the help of the heat current the cells wake up 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 procedure for fractional rejuvenation of facial skin is called a laser array because it is broken into very very thin microscopic beams. This causes minor damage to the epidermis
A special device drives on the skin very quickly, just a minute delay will cause severe burns. It can be used to treat the entire surface or individual areas of facial skin.
After rejuvenating the face with a laser, it becomes noticeable as:
- improved skin color;
- face oval tight;
- no bags under the eyes;
- small to medium wrinkles are less visible.
A big plus 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 and swelling. Due to this fact, the recovery process is almost invisible outside.
The laser rejuvenation method can also be used to improve the results of laser reconstruction and plastic surgery. After the procedure, the person is treated with a specially designed emollient solution.
After laser rejuvenation of facial skin, cosmetologists recommend that you follow a few important rules for a few days:
- Avoid sun exposure.
- Do not use makeup.
- Do not go to the solarium and the beach.
- Do not expose your face to strong winds, chlorinated water or salt water.
Advantages of the laser method
This method of facial rejuvenation allows you to treat large areas of skin in 1 procedure, while its regenerative resource is preserved and revitalized. As a result, rehabilitation begins quickly and there is a long-term increase in the positive effect.
Fractional laser rejuvenation is performed with a point effect, so that the epidermis is minimally damaged. Traces disappear within 3-4 days. No anesthesia required.
Side effects are rare. In some cases there are:
- itching that subsides in a short time;
- temporary red spots;
- activation of herpes;
- skin peeling and burns;
- cover.
For complete rejuvenation you need to go through 4 to 8 sessions. How many procedures are needed in your case depends on the age and condition of the skin. A qualified cosmetologist can answer this question. There should be a break of 2-3 weeks between procedures.
Indications and contraindications
As with any cosmetic procedure, laser rejuvenation has indications and contraindications.
Factional facial rejuvenation helps eliminate:
- deep and fine wrinkles;
- spider veins;
- age spots;
- mark;
- acne.
In addition, laser procedures are indicated for porous skin, uneven relief and reduction of tissue tone. The skin will acquire an even and even tone.
There are contraindications for laser facial rejuvenation. They should not be ignored, otherwise serious consequences can 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;
- hypersensitivity of the skin.
Types of laser rejuvenation
There are 2 types of laser rejuvenation, differing in method and depth of exposure: The first method of laser facial rejuvenation is a procedure that removes surface microscopic areas from the skin. In this case, the penetration of the laser beam takes place at a depth of 1. 5 mm, which leads to:
- 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 lift the face, give the skin an ideal appearance, remove skin imperfections, for example, during the treatment of acne.
The procedure is great for removing precise imperfections, such as:
- mimics wrinkles;
- marks;
- pigmentation, etc.
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 exposure of the face is done with the help of long laser beams. The upper layers of the epidermis are not affected, rejuvenation is done from the inside.
This fractional laser rejuvenation of facial skin helps to regenerate deep skin layers. It promotes the activation of metabolic processes and is also necessary for the formation of a more lasting collagen framework. This leads to an increase in the firmness and elasticity of the skin
This procedure is quite serious. It is prescribed for very deep scars, severe rashes and if the face is damaged by chemicals. The main advantage of this method is the complete absence of a recovery period. It differs from the ablative in that the entire surface of the face is treated at once.
Experts advise to perform these 2 types of laser facial rejuvenation at the same time in order to achieve the greatest effect and maximize the activation of tissue repair processes.
4D rejuvenation
Laser 4D rejuvenation is one of the safest ways to eliminate imperfections and tighten. This method is performed in 4 stages. The skin is exposed to a neodymium laser. The beautician treats the facial tissues in a row on the inside and outside of the cheeks. The works are performed in different modes, intensifying the action with each other.
- The first step is lifting on 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 that are present in the area of the lips and nose are pushed out and visually smoothed. The laser beam acts on the deeper layers, thus pushing out the production of collagen. As a result, the structure of the deep layers is tightened.
- During the second stage, a complete restoration of the structure of the skin is performed, which is expressed in the fact that wrinkles are smoothed, tone, elasticity and pores are tightened.
- The third stage helps to restore all layers of the skin: deep, medium and superficial. The effect of biorevitalization is provided to the tissues due to the fact that they receive a lot of heat completely painless.
- The fourth stage is based on the cold peeling technology, during which the skin surface is polished. The beautician 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 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 laser effect does not damage the gums, teeth and oral mucosa.
Other positives include:
- efficiency;
- fast and consistent result;
- small recovery period;
- the possibility to carry out the procedure at any time of the year.
DOT-rejuvenating innovation
DOT rejuvenation is a new modern cosmetology method using the latest technologies. This procedure is highly effective, it is performed in progressive cosmetology centers and clinics for plastic surgery. This system is a universal remedy for the problems caused by skin aging due to the natural biological breakdown of muscle and connective tissue.
In the case of DOT laser skin rejuvenation, a special laser with a special wavelength is applied.
The fractional radiation of a laser beam in the deep layers of the skin appears:
- restoration of lymph flow and blood flow;
- increases the production of elastin and collagen;
- enhancing connective tissue regeneration;
- increased skin turgor;
- resorption of age spots, vascular networks and nodes.
During DOT rejuvenation, the device has a delicate effect on the skin, 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 sensors of the device. In order to make the patient comfortable during rejuvenating procedures, it is proposed to apply 1 of the methods of local anesthesia at the place where the laser operation is planned.
The DOT procedure gives a positive result gradually. At first, the patient is unable to assess the consequences because there is swelling and redness of the skin. Only after 14 days will the optimal effect be seen.
Neodymium face rejuvenation method
The neodymium laser rejuvenation method is a new, very effective method. During the manipulation, heat energy is transferred to the skin with a neodymium laser, which begins to affect the collagen fibers. This leads to the fact that they tighten the skin cover, starting the processes of recovery and rejuvenation.
As a result of the procedure it is possible:
- improving the condition of the skin;
- refresh the color and adjust the contour of the face;
- reduction, smoothing of fine wrinkles, vascular formations and age spots;
- improve the firmness and density of the skin.
The neodymium face rejuvenation method lasts at least 12 months. Its effectiveness can be increased if the peeling is performed before the procedure. This approach will help the laser beams to bind better and deeper into the skin structure.
