Laser facial rejuvenation: a description of the procedure

The laser beam has become a real breakthrough in the field of cosmetology. In 75% of cases of dealing with skin damage, he managed to replace injections, surgery.

Laser treatments not only successfully remove scars and blemishes, but also remove the signs of aging.

What is this

Laser rejuvenation is performed using a special device.

The air moves along the body in a special "handle". The impulses penetrate through the layers of the skin to a depth of 1 mm. Under the influence of high frequencies and heating, old cells are destroyed. Untouched tissues begin to react by releasing increased amounts of elastin and collagen that repair the damaged dermis. Renewed skin becomes thicker, more elastic. The optimal temperature was selected for each skin area to avoid burns.

In this case, the treatment is practiced not only on the face, but also on other parts of the body. Thighs, abdomen, chest, forearms, arms suffer no less due to age-related wear and tear.

As a result of the correct procedure, the effects are marked:

• visible smoothing of deep wrinkles;
• small wrinkles on the face disappear;
• discoloration hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, post-acne, vascular network and scarring;
• narrowing of enlarged pores;
• leveling the surface of the dermis;
• appearance of healthy skin stimulating blood circulation;
• tighten face and body contours.

Noticeable improvements are visible after the first session. To consolidate successful rejuvenation, a course of 5 problem area treatments is provided.

Types of laser rejuvenation

There are several variations of this procedure. Each has its own characteristics. By choosing a variety for an individual problem, the solution will be as productive as possible.

• With penetration into the upper layers of the skin.It works best with minor damage to the puncture site. One surface beam is applied. Only the damaged area is exposed, not healthy skin. The result is achieved quickly and lasts a long time. Works well on expression lines.
• No damage to the surface of the skin.It is perfectly manifested by deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, contours of sagging. Much of the skin is treated at the same time (for example, the whole face). The longest beams are used. Only the hidden layers of the dermis are affected, the surface remains intact. Heat stimulates the natural metabolic processes in the cells. A pleasant side effect is the removal of post-acne, wide pores.
• Biorevitalization.Pulses are given briefly with multiple repetitions. Thus, the rays painlessly break down dead cells and actively stimulate collagen production. Special cosmetics (usually hyaluronic acid) are used, which the laser brings deep into the skin. The method is used in the fight against deep wrinkles, persistent lines of expression. It has a cumulative effect. Biorevitalization is one of the best alternatives to injections.
• Resurfacing.Erbium or sapphire laser gently removes the upper layers of the old epidermis. Younger tissues remain, which makes the skin look tighter and more even, small wrinkles become invisible.
• 4D rejuvenation.Fastest display. A permanent visible result appears after the first procedure. 4 types of beams are used (FRAC3, SmothLiftin, SupErficial, PIANO). Such a combination improves deep processes, restores elasticity and freshness to the skin, and copes with wrinkles of various sizes.
