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 restoring youthful skin in a very short period of time.To carry out the procedure, a special device is used that emits rays of varying strengths.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 duration of the session are selected by the doctor individually.The standard procedure consists of 5 sessions with a break of a 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 dense.
The cost of the procedure is affected by:
- laser quality;
- number of treated areas;
- the price of caring 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 laser penetration 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, thereby increasing the level of elastin and collagen in the skin.
The laser beam in the procedure of fractional facial skin rejuvenation 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 a minute of delay will lead to a severe burn.It can be used to treat the entire surface or individual areas of facial skin.
After facial rejuvenation with laser, it becomes noticeable how:
- improved skin color;
- the oval of the face was tightened;
- bags under the eyes 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 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 completing the procedure, 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:
- 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 skin in one procedure, while its regenerative resource is preserved and revitalized.As a result, rehabilitation occurs quickly and a long-term increase in the positive effect is observed.
The fractional laser rejuvenation procedure is carried out with a targeted effect, so the epidermis is minimally damaged.The marks disappear after 3-4 days.No anesthesia is required.
Side effects are rare.In some cases it is observed:
- itching that goes away 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 cosmetic procedure, laser rejuvenation has indications and contraindications.
Fractional facial rejuvenation helps eliminate:
- deep and fine wrinkles;
- spider veins;
- age spots;
- scars;
- post-acne.
In addition, laser procedures are indicated for porous skin, uneven skin texture and decreased tissue tone.The skin will acquire a uniform and even tone.
There are also contraindications for laser facial rejuvenation.They should not be neglected, otherwise serious consequences may occur.
It is prohibited to conduct sessions for pregnant and lactating women, as well as people suffering from:
- severe 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, differing 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 smoothes.
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, during the treatment of acne.
The procedure perfectly helps eliminate spot defects, such as:
- expression wrinkles;
- scars;
- pigmentation and others.
The second method of laser rejuvenation is to penetrate 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 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 procedure is quite serious.It is prescribed for very deep scars, serious 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 at once.
Experts advise carrying out these 2 types of facial rejuvenation with laser simultaneously in order to achieve the greatest effect and maximize tissue restoration processes.
Rejuvenation 4D
One of the safest methods aimed at getting rid of facial skin defects and tightening it is 4D laser rejuvenation.This method takes place 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 order.The work is carried out in various modes that enhance each other’s effects.
- The first stage involves lifting 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 that are present in the area of the lips and nose are pushed out and visually smoothed out.The laser beam affects the deep layers, thereby pushing collagen to be produced.As a result, the structure of the deep layers is tightened.
- During the second stage, the skin structure is completely restored, which is expressed in the fact that wrinkles are smoothed out, tone and elasticity increase and pores narrow.
- The third stage helps restore all layers of the skin: deep, medium and superficial.The tissues are provided with a biorevitalization 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 epidermis.As a result, 4D facial rejuvenation results in radiant skin.This result can be achieved in 1 session.All 4 stages are carried out within 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.Thanks to the painless effect of the laser, gums, teeth and oral mucosa are not damaged.
Other positive aspects include:
- efficiency;
- fast and lasting results;
- minor recovery period;
- the possibility of carrying out the procedure at any time of the year.
Innovation of DOT rejuvenation
DOT rejuvenation is a new modern cosmetological method using 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 remedy for combating problems caused by skin aging due to natural biological withering of muscle and connective tissue.
In the case of laser DOT skin rejuvenation, exposure to a special laser with a special wavelength is used.
Through fractional laser beam luminescence in the deep layers of the skin the following occurs:
- restoration of lymph flow and blood flow;
- increased production of elastin and collagen;
- enhancing connective tissue regeneration;
- increased skin turgor;
- resorption of pigment spots, spider veins and nodular joints.
With DOT rejuvenation, the device acts delicately on the skin, which means you can perform a procedure 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 rejuvenating 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 gives positive results gradually.At first, the patient is not able to assess the consequences, because 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, very effective method.During manipulation, thermal energy is passed 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.
As a result of the procedure it is possible:
- improve skin condition;
- refresh color and correct facial contour;
- reduce and smooth out fine wrinkles, vascular formations and age spots;
- increase skin elasticity and density.
The neodymium method of facial rejuvenation lasts at least 12 months.Its effectiveness can be increased if peeling is done before the procedure.This approach will help the laser beams to contact the skin structure more efficiently and deeply.
