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. For the procedure, a special device is used that emits rays of different possibilities. 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 rather expensive and laborious process.
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 can sparingly affect the skin. The process 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 cost of the process is affected by:
- laser quality,
- number of areas to be addressed,
- price of care products applied during the meeting,
- the reputation of the beauty salon and the qualifications of the beautician.
Perform laser rejuvenation
Laser rejuvenation is performed only on clean skin. The process consists of the fractional action of the laser. A special device has photocells on its surface, which 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 can not function die. Healthy cells replace dead cells, increasing the level of elastin and collagen in the skin.
The laser beam in the process of fractional rejuvenation of facial skin is called a laser beam because it breaks down into many very thin microscopic rays. This results in minor skin damage.A special device is driven very fast on the skin, only a minute delay will lead to a serious burn. Can be used to treat the entire surface or individual areas of facial skin.
After laser facial rejuvenation, it feels like:
- improved skin color,
- tight oval face,
- the 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 skin, without tuberculosis and swelling. Due to this fact, the recovery process is almost invisible.
The laser rejuvenation method can also be used to improve the results of laser rejuvenation and plastic surgery. After the procedure, the face is treated with a specially designed emollient solution.
After laser skin rejuvenation, cosmetologists recommend following a number of important rules for several days:
- Avoid sun exposure.
- Do not use makeup.
- Do not go to the solarium and the beach.
- Do not expose your face to strong air, 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 process, while its regenerative source is maintained and rejuvenated. As a result, recovery begins quickly and there is a long-term increase in positive outcome.
Fractional laser rejuvenation is performed with a spot effect, so the skin has minimal damage. The traces disappear within 3-4 days. No anesthesia required.
Side effects are rare. In some cases, there is:
- itching that disappears in a short time,
- temporary red dots;
- activation of herpes,
- peeling and skin burns,
- crusting.
For a complete rejuvenation, you should go through 4 to 8 sessions. The number of procedures required in your case depends on the age and condition of the skin. A qualified cosmetologist can answer this question. There should be a 2-3 week break between procedures.
Indications and contraindications
As with any cosmetic procedure, laser rejuvenation has its indications and contraindications.
Fractional facial rejuvenation helps eliminate:
- deep and fine wrinkles,
- spider veins,
- age points,
- scar;
- acne.
In addition, laser procedures are indicated for porous skin, uneven relief and reduction of tissue tone. The skin will acquire a uniform and even tone.
There are contraindications to laser facial rejuvenation. They should not be neglected, otherwise serious consequences may occur.
It is forbidden to hold sessions for pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as for people who suffer 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, which differ in method and depth of exposure: The first method of laser facial rejuvenation is a procedure that removes superficial tiny areas of skin. In this case, the penetration of the laser beam is made at 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 immediately visible. This method is used to lift the face, give the skin an ideal appearance, eliminate skin abnormalities, for example, during the treatment of acne.
The procedure is ideal for eliminating imperfections, such as:
- mimics wrinkles?
- scars,
- pigmentation and others.
The second method of laser rejuvenation is to penetrate the laser beam into the deeper layers of the skin - about 3-5 mm. In this case, the exposure to the face is done with large laser beams. The upper layers of the skin are not affected, rejuvenation takes place from the inside.
This fractional facial skin rejuvenation with laser helps regenerate deep layers of skin. It promotes the activation of metabolic processes and is also necessary for the formation of a more resistant collagen framework. This leads to an increase in the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
This process is quite serious. Recommended for very deep scars, severe rashes and if the person has been chemically damaged. The main advantage of this method is the complete absence of a recovery period. It differs from the subtraction in that the entire surface of the face is treated at the same time.
Experts advise to perform these 2 types of laser facial rejuvenation at the same time, in order to achieve the greatest result and maximize the activation of tissue repair procedures.
4D Revitalization
4D laser rejuvenation is one of the safest ways to remove blemishes and tighten. This method is performed in 4 steps. The skin is exposed to a neodymium laser. The beautician processes the tissues of the face in order from inside and outside the cheeks. Tasks are performed in different ways, enhancing the action of the other.
- 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 on the lips and nose are pushed and smoothed out visually. The laser beam affects the deeper layers, thus pushing collagen to be produced. As a result, the deep layer structure tightens.
- During the second stage, the skin structure is completely restored, which is reflected 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 bio-rejuvenation is provided to the tissues due to the fact that they receive a lot of heat completely painlessly.
- The fourth stage is based on cold exfoliation technology, during which the surface of the skin is polished. The beautician removes the stratum corneum of the skin. As a result, the 4D facial rejuvenation leads to glowing skin. This result can be achieved in 1 session. All 4 stages are performed in 1 process without interruption, one after the other.
The technique has some advantages. One of the most important advantages is the painless procedure. The painless laser effect does not damage the gums, teeth and oral mucosa.
Other positives include:
- efficiency,
- fast and permanent result,
- short recovery period,
- the ability to execute the procedure at any time of the year.
DOT Revitalization Innovation
DOT rejuvenation is a new modern cosmetological method using the latest technologies. This procedure is very effective, performed in progressive cosmetology centers and plastic surgery clinics. This system is a flexible treatment for skin aging problems due to the natural biological breakdown of muscles and connective tissue.
In the case of DOT laser skin rejuvenation, a special laser with a specific wavelength is applied.
Fractional laser radiation appears in the deep layers of the skin:
- restore lymph flow and blood flow,
- increased production of elastin and collagen,
- enhancing connective tissue regeneration,
- enlarged skin,
- absorption of age spots, vascular networks and nodules.
During DOT rejuvenation, the device acts gently on the skin, which means you can perform the process of rejuvenating 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 sensors of the device. To make the patient comfortable during rejuvenating procedures, it is recommended to apply one of the methods of local anesthesia to the place where it is planned to operate with a laser.
The DOT process gradually gives a positive result. 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 result be seen.
Neodymium face rejuvenation method
The neodymium laser rejuvenation method is a new, very effective method. During the manipulation, the thermal energy is transmitted to the skin by a neodymium laser, which begins to affect the collagen fibers. This leads to the fact that they tighten the skin cover, starting the recovery and rejuvenation processes.
As a result of the process, it is possible:
- improve skin condition,
- refresh the color and correct the contour of the face,
- reduction, smoothing of fine wrinkles, vascular formations and age spots,
- improve skin firmness and density.
The neodymium facial rejuvenation method takes at least 12 months. Its effectiveness can be increased if the peeling is done before the procedure. This approach will help the laser beams come in better and deeper contact with the skin structure.
