Despite her poor health and lack of cosmetic care at a young age, her face looks smooth, healthy and radiant. Over the years, its appearance gradually changes: first the pleasant color disappears, the first wrinkles appear, then spider veins, young spots and deep folds appear. Each change indicates that the skin is aging. When normal facial masks do not work, powerful treatments can help, one of which is laser rejuvenation of the face.
The advantage of fractional photothermolysis (this is its second name) is complete safety and high efficiency in removing wrinkles and other imperfections. This procedure is a mild alternative to surgery or injections.
Laser skin rejuvenation technology
What causes skin aging? There are several main reasons:
- Deterioration of metabolic processes;
- delayed or incomplete waste disposal;
- Deterioration of cell growth function;
- Decreased supply of nutrients to cells.
Of course, it is impossible to start the reverse process of cellular regeneration, but there is an opportunity to activate the activity of "sleeping" cells. To do this, laser face rejuvenation is used. After heat treatment, the viable cells become active, the weak ones die completely, and strong specimens are allowed to emerge. In short, the cellular composition of the skin is renewed.
The quality and speed of the recovery process depends on the diameter of the laser beam. Its thickness should be less than 200 microns. Fractional thermolysis has improved the results of laser cleaning: instead of a single ray, many microscopic rays act on the surface of the skin like a net. Local zones are an innovation in the use of laser technology. They help to keep healthy areas of the skin untouched, thereby helping in early healing.
Types of fractional laser rejuvenation
Rejuvenation and lifting are performed using two effective methods that differ in some characteristics of the laser.
- Cleansing the entire surface of the skin
Its main function is to evaporate the upper cells of the epidermis. The upper, visible microscopic areas are removed, resulting in skin tightening. As a result, the first sign of aging disappears - small wrinkles.
- Method of exposure without damaging the skin surface
Works in the deeper, lower layers of the epidermis without affecting the upper region. In this way, it is recommended to solve the deep problems associated with the unique process of skin aging. With the help of laser light, a new membrane skeleton of the cell is built, the metabolic process is activated, collagen production is improved, and as a result, the skin looks younger.
Both methods are aimed at local treatment, ie the areas around the skin are not damaged - this is necessary for rapid and complete recovery of the skin. In fact, the rejuvenation of a surface fractional laser can be called a warm shock, which restores the growth of healthy cells.
The combination of the two methods allows you to get the maximum result from the pulse, which is doubled externally and internally. This method is used in many modern clinics with laser devices.
Procedure and results of the procedure
The advantage of laser skin treatment is that it is painless, which is a positive factor for people who are afraid of the disease. The procedure itself is divided into several stages.
- After facial anesthesia, the patient does not feel pain, but feels a slight tingling sensation in the treatment area. The anesthetic is used immediately before the session.
- Conduct a session using a special device based on the use of fractional lasers. The duration of the session is one hour, but the exact time depends on the number of areas cleared.
- Apply revitalizing cream to the skin.
- Consult a skin care professional
It takes a week to get a renewed skin look. This is a slightly shorter period compared to surgery, for example.
For the first two days, your face will remain swollen, and then it will turn red and your skin will turn yellow - the process of removing dead cells has begun. They are replaced by healthy, young cells that give your face a fresh, youthful look.
Indicators for fractional photothermolysis
Most women and some men also take care of themselves, so young people with facial expressions are not only popular, but also provide other parts of the body with laser photothermolysis.
Patients often call if necessary:
- Restoration of the skin of the whole body or parts of it seemed special;
- capillary network removal and pigmentation;
- reduce holes;
- removal of scars, stretch marks, scars;
- skin whitening;
- smooth or remove wrinkles on your face;
- rejuvenates the skin of the hands, chest and neck;
- skin texture renewal, lifting.
There are general and specific contraindications to each procedure in the salon, laser treatment of the skin is not particularly important.
Thus, the use of fractional lasers is not allowed in patients with one of the following diagnoses:
- immunodeficiency, resulting in frequent infectious diseases;
- pregnancy, lactation;
- dermatosis in the treatment area;
- scars;
- cancer;
- chronic blood diseases, diabetes;
- herpes
In addition, laser rejuvenation should be postponed if you have been using retinoids for six months before a session and have a new burn on your body.
Every woman, regardless of age, wants to be attractive and healthy
There are several diseases for which the procedure can be performed, but only after consulting a specialist, and therefore consult a doctor before the session. However, if one or more contraindications are identified, it is recommended to wait until the body is fully recovered or the laser is ready. The procedure itself is safe, but if there is a disease, it can lead to its further development.
If you can't use a laser, you need to inject other ways to get rid of the signs of aging, such as Botox or hyaluronic acid.
