The first signs of aging appear when you turn 25. Unfortunately, this limit is usually not the earliest date, but rather the latest detection of age-related problems. Rough laser rejuvenation treatment is now a yesterday's procedure, and for good reason, as women have the option to forego the long “resuscitation” of the skin, which is very red and essentially traumatized during the procedure.
The latest, minimally invasive and safe technology - fractional laser skin rejuvenation, restoration and acceleration of the cell rhythm (growth and metabolism as well as elimination of harmful substances).
How does it work? When exposed to a focused laser beam, microdamage to the skin tissue occurs with a "column" or "cone" directed perpendicular to the skin surface. The cells surrounding the micro-damage go into a state of heat shock, causing them to actively divide to restore the skin area in place of the micro-damage. This leads to a tightening of the damaged area, whereby the skin is smoothed, wrinkles are practically eliminated and a noticeable lifting effect is achieved.
Indications for fractional laser rejuvenation, advantages of this procedure
Laser rejuvenation procedures are a life-saving cure for a number of problems:
- dull complexion;
- blurred facial contours, blurred oval, loose skin;
- fine and deep wrinkles;
- enlarged pores;
- scars and scars, including those resulting from acne;
- age spots and visible capillaries;
- stretch marks.
Modern laser cosmetics are characterized by painlessness and comfort during the procedure. There are no traumatic effects, there are practically no risks (see the humble list of contraindications at the end of the article). The biggest benefit is quick recovery. Essentially, the main rehabilitation period lasts 1-2 days. This time is determined by the diameter of the skin microscopic damage from the laser. The smaller this is, the faster the rehabilitation goes (for example, fractional rejuvenation with a CO2RE laser has received many rave reviews). You will not have any scars or unnatural shine on the skin, after the first procedure you will see the result immediately and it is not masked by swelling or severe reddening of the skin.
Features of modern laser facial rejuvenation procedures
First of all, they cleanse the skin of dirt and cosmetics in the areas where it is exposed to the laser. Next, an anesthetic cream is used (note that there are not too caring clinics that ignore this remedy), which almost completely eliminates unpleasant sensations during the procedure itself and goes right beyond working with the laser. All you will feel is warmth and maybe a subtle tingling sensation.
When choosing a doctor, focus primarily on the degree of adequacy, responsibility and involvement. The specialist should clearly understand what you want and give you a detailed idea of how achievable it is and what is required for it. Together you choose the optimal procedural scheme, the optimal mode and the optimal exposure depth. Be sure to listen to all advice on care during rehabilitation and find out what other procedures (fillers, injections, massages, or masks) can be done for the best effect and which the time is not.
The duration of the procedure and the number of procedures required in a course depend on the task / problem with which you are applying to the center or clinic for aesthetic medicine. On average, the treatment of the skin on the face and décolleté lasts about an hour, the procedure can be simple or require 1-2 repetitions with an interval of 2-6 months.
In the first few days a slight reddening is possible, in the first week dead skin cells peel off. One of the main recommendations of specialists at this time is the use of creams with a high factor of protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation. According to various estimates, the effect of fractional laser rejuvenation can last up to 2 years.
Contraindications for laser rejuvenation procedures: pregnancy and lactation, exacerbation of neurodermatitis and psoriasis, inflammation in the laser treatment area, acute infectious diseases, neoplasms in the treatment area, impaired blood clotting and systemic connective tissue diseases, oncological diseases, epilepsy. Fractional laser rejuvenation should wait a bit if you've got a fresh tan / have actively used a tanning salon in the past month as it has significantly increased the sensitivity of your skin.
