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 procedures, which are an excellent alternative to plastic surgery.
What is the technique?
The laser method allows you to restore youthful skin in a very short time.To carry out the procedure, a special device is used that emits rays of different intensities.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 fairly expensive and time-consuming procedure.
The number of procedures and the duration of the session are chosen individually by the doctor.The standard procedure includes 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 are revived in the inner layers of the skin.Fractional skin rejuvenation can improve its condition.As a result, it becomes more elastic and denser.
The cost of the procedure is affected by:
- laser quality;
- number of areas treated;
- the price of treatment medications used during the session;
- reputation of the beauty salon and qualifications of the cosmetologist.
Laser rejuvenation
Laser rejuvenation is carried out 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.
Following laser exposure, cells are awakened by a thermal current and those that cannot function die.Healthy cells replace dead cells, increasing the skin's level of elastin and collagen.
The laser beam used in the fractional facial skin rejuvenation procedure is called a laser grid, because it is divided into several very fine microscopic beams.This leads to minor damage to the epidermis.
A special device is moved very quickly over the skin;just a minute of delay will result in a serious burn.It can be used to treat the entire surface or individual areas of facial skin.
After laser facial rejuvenation, we notice how:
- improved skin color;
- the oval of the face was tightened;
- the bags under the eyes have 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 transition points between the renewed dermis, there are no tubercles and swellings.As a result, 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.Once the procedure is completed, 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 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 large areas of skin to be treated in a single gesture, while 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 carried out with a targeted effect, so that the epidermis is minimally damaged.The marks disappear after 3-4 days.No anesthesia is necessary.
Side effects are rare.In certain cases, we observe:
- itching that disappears in a short time;
- temporary appearance of red spots;
- activation of herpes;
- peeling and burning of the skin;
- crust formation.
For complete rejuvenation, one must undergo 4 to 8 sessions.The number of procedures needed in your case depends on 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 eliminates:
- deep and fine wrinkles;
- spider veins;
- age spots;
- scars;
- post-acne.
Additionally, laser procedures are indicated for porous skin, uneven skin texture and decreased tissue tone.The skin will acquire an even and uniform tone.
There are also contraindications to laser facial rejuvenation.They should not be neglected, otherwise serious consequences could result.
It is prohibited to carry out sessions for pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as people suffering from:
- serious chronic illnesses;
- 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 to a depth of 1.5 mm, resulting in:
- the skin begins to tighten;
- regenerative processes are activated;
- the skin improves and becomes smoother.
A positive result is visible immediately.This method helps 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 point defects, such as:
- expression lines;
- scars;
- pigmentation and others.
The second method of laser rejuvenation involves penetrating the laser beam into 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 takes place from the inside.
This fractional laser facial skin rejuvenation helps regenerate the deeper layers of the skin.It helps activate metabolic processes and is also necessary for the formation of a stronger collagen structure.This leads to increased firmness and elasticity of the facial skin.
This procedure is quite serious.It is prescribed for very deep scars, severe rashes, 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 simultaneously in order to achieve the greatest effect and maximize tissue restoration processes.
4D rejuvenation
One of the safest methods aimed at eliminating facial skin defects and tightening it is 4D laser rejuvenation.This method takes place in 4 steps.The skin is exposed to a neodymium laser.The beautician processes the tissues on the inside and outside of the cheeks in order.The work is carried out in different modes which reinforce the effects of each.
- The first step is to lift, from 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 at the lips and nose are pushed back and visually smoothed.The laser beam affects the deep layers, thereby pushing the production of collagen.As a result, the structure of the deep layers is tightened.
- During the second stage, the skin structure is completely restored, which results in smoothing of wrinkles, increased tone and elasticity, and narrowing of pores.
- The third step restores all layers of the skin: deep, medium and superficial.The tissues have a biorevitalization effect because they receive a lot of heat without any pain.
- The fourth step relies on cold peeling technology, which polishes the skin's surface.The beautician removes the stratum corneum from the epidermis.As a result, 4D facial rejuvenation helps achieve glowing skin.This result can be obtained in 1 session.The 4 steps are carried out in a single procedure without interruption, one after the other.
The technique has certain 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 positives include:
- efficiency;
- fast and lasting results;
- minor 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 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 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 special wavelength is used.
Thanks to the fractional luminescence of the laser beam in the deep layers of the skin, the following phenomena occur:
- restoration of lymph flow and blood flow;
- increased production of elastin and collagen;
- improve connective tissue regeneration;
- increased skin turgor;
- resorption of pigment spots, varicosities and nodular joints.
With DOT rejuvenation, the device gently acts on the skin, allowing a procedure to be carried out 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 power 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 the laser is intended to be used.
The DOT procedure gradually gives positive results.At first, the patient is not able to assess the consequences, as swelling and redness of the skin are observed.Only after 14 days will the optimal effect be visible.
Neodymium facial rejuvenation method
The neodymium laser rejuvenation method is a new, very effective method.During manipulation, thermal energy is transmitted to the skin using a neodymium laser, which begins to affect the collagen fibers.This leads to the fact that they tighten the skin, triggering the processes of restoration and rejuvenation.
Following the procedure, it is possible:
- improve skin condition;
- refresh the color and correct the contour of the face;
- reduce and smooth 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 the peeling is carried out before the procedure.This approach will help the laser beams contact the skin structure more effectively and deeper.
