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 treatments that are a great alternative to plastic surgery.
What is a technique?
The laser method means restoring the youth of the skin in a very short time. A special apparatus is used for the procedure, which emits rays of different intensities. The efficiency 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 procedure.
The doctor individually chooses the number of procedures and the duration of the session. The standard procedure consists of 5 sessions with a break per month. This approach is rarely able to affect the skin. The procedure has a cumulative effect, because 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 procedure is affected by:
- laser quality;
- number of areas to be treated;
- price of care products applied during the session;
- the reputation of the beauty salon and the qualifications of the beauticians.
Performing laser rejuvenation
Laser rejuvenation is performed only on clean skin. The procedure consists of the fractional action of a laser. A special device has photocells on its surface, which are responsible for laser penetration under the skin.
As a result of the action of the laser, with the help of heat current, the cells wake up and those that cannot function die. Healthy cells replace dead cells and thus increase the level of elastin and collagen in the skin.
The laser beam in the process of fractional rejuvenation of the facial skin is called a laser array, because it is broken into many very thin microscopic beams. This results in less damage to the epidermis.
A special device drives very fast on the skin, just a minute delay will lead to a serious burn. It can be used to treat the entire surface or individual areas of the skin.
After laser rejuvenation, it becomes noticeable as:
- Improved skin color;
- face oval taut;
- bags under the eyes disappear;
- 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 regenerated dermis, no tubercles and swelling. Due to this fact, the recovery process is almost invisible to the outside.
The laser rejuvenation method can also be used to improve the results of laser pruning and plastic surgery. At the end of the procedure, the face is treated with a specially designed soothing solution.
After laser facial skin rejuvenation, cosmetologists recommend following a few important rules for a few days:
- Avoid sun exposure.
- Do not use makeup.
- Don't 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 the treatment of large areas of skin in 1 procedure, while its regenerative resource is preserved and revitalized. As a result, rehabilitation begins quickly and a long-term increase in positive effect is observed.
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 is:
- itching that disappears in a short time;
- temporary red spots;
- herpes activation;
- peeling and skin burns;
- cruise.
Complete rejuvenation requires between 4 and 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.
Facial facial rejuvenation helps eliminate:
- deep and fine wrinkles;
- spider veins;
- age spots;
- scar;
- acne.
In addition, laser procedures are indicated for porous skin, uneven relief, and decreased tissue tone. The skin will take on a uniform and even tone.
There are contraindications for laser facial rejuvenation. They should not be ignored, otherwise serious consequences may occur.
It is forbidden to conduct sessions for pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as people who suffer:
- 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 method and depth of exposure: The first method of laser facial rejuvenation is a procedure that removes superficial microscopic areas of skin. In this case, the penetration of the laser beam is performed to a depth of 1. 5 mm, which results in:
- The skin begins 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, gives the skin an ideal look, removes skin imperfections, for example, during the treatment of acne.
The procedure is great for removing imperfections with highlighted points, such as:
- mimics wrinkles;
- scars;
- pigmentation, etc.
Another 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 to the face takes place using long laser beams. The upper layers of the epidermis are not affected, rejuvenation is done from the inside.
This fractional laser facial skin rejuvenation helps restore deep skin layers. It stimulates the activation of metabolic processes, and is also necessary to create a more permanent collagen framework. This leads to an increase in the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
This process is quite serious. It is prescribed for very deep scars, strong rashes and if the face is damaged by chemical means. The main advantage of this method is the complete absence of a recovery period. It differs from the ablative one in that the entire surface of the face is treated at once.
Experts advise to simultaneously perform these two types of laser facial rejuvenation to achieve the greatest effect and maximize the activation of the tissue repair process.
4D rejuvenation
Laser rejuvenation with 4D is one of the safest ways to remove stains and tighten. This method takes place in 4 phases. The skin is exposed to the neodymium laser. The beautician treats the facial tissues inside and outside the cheeks, respectively. The works are performed in different ways, amplifying the interaction.
- 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 creases located in the area of the lips and nose are squeezed out and visually smoothed. The laser beam affects the deeper layers, thus stimulating the collagen produced. As a result, the deep layer structure is tightened.
- During the second phase, the skin structure is completely restored, which is expressed by the fact that wrinkles are smoothed, tone, elasticity and pores are tightened.
- The third phase helps to regenerate 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 painlessly.
- The fourth phase is based on 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 phases are carried out within 1 procedure without interruption, one after the other.
The technique has certain advantages. One of the most important benefits is the painlessness of the procedure. The painless laser effect does not damage the gums, teeth and oral mucosa.
Other positive elements include:
- efficiency;
- fast and lasting result;
- less recovery period;
- Ability 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 very effective, it is performed in progressive cosmetology centers and clinics for plastic surgery. 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 used.
Fractional laser beam radiation occurs in the deep layers of the skin:
- restoration of lymph and blood flow;
- increased production of elastin and collagen;
- improving connective tissue regeneration;
- increased skin turgor;
- resorption of age spots, vascular networks and nodules.
During DOT rejuvenation, the device acts sensitively on the skin, which means that you can perform the procedure of rejuvenating the eyelid, 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 manipulations, it is suggested to apply 1 method of local anesthesia at the place where it is planned to work with the laser.
The DOT procedure gradually gives a positive result. Initially, the patient is unable to assess the consequences because swelling and redness of the skin occurs. Only after 14 days will the optimal effect be seen.
Neodymium method of facial rejuvenation
The neodymium laser non-decoupling method is a new, very efficient method. During the manipulation, heat energy is transferred to the skin by a neodymium laser that 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 to:
- improve skin condition;
- refresh the color and correct the contour of the face;
- reduce, smooth out fine lines, 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 to better and deeply come into contact with the structure of the skin.
