The first signs of skin aging appear at the age of 25. Unfortunately, but this border is usually not the oldest date, but the last detection of age issues. Raw laser resurfacing for rejuvenation is now a procedure of yesterday, and for good reason, as women have the opportunity to do without the lengthy “resuscitation” of very reddened and, in essence, traumatized skin during the procedure.
The latest technology, minimally invasive and safe - fractional laser skin rejuvenation, restoration and acceleration of cell rhythm (growth and metabolism, as well as removal of harmful substances).
How does it work? When exposed to a focused laser beam, microdamage to skin tissue occurs with a "column" or "cone" directed perpendicular to the surface of the skin. The cells surrounding the microdamage go into a state of heat shock, due to which they begin active division to restore the skin area at the location of the microdamage. As a result, it leads to tightening of the damaged area, which gives the skin a smoothness, practically erasing wrinkles and a noticeable lifting effect.
Indications for fractional laser rejuvenation, benefits of this procedure
Laser rejuvenation procedures are a life-saving remedy for a number of problems:
- dull complexion;
- indistinct facial contours, fuzzy 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 cosmetology is characterized by painlessness and comfort during the procedure. There are no traumatic effects, there are practically no risks (note the modest list of contraindications at the end of the article). The biggest advantage is quick recovery. In essence, the main rehabilitation period lasts 1-2 days. This time is determined by the diameter of the micro-damage to the skin by the laser, the smaller it is, the faster the rehabilitation will pass (for example, fractional rejuvenation with a CO2RE laser received a lot of rave reviews). You will not have any scarring or abnormal shine on the skin, after the first procedure you will see the result immediately, and it will not be masked by swelling or severe redness of the skin.
Features of modern laser facial rejuvenation procedures
First of all, they cleanse the skin in the areas of expected laser pollution and cosmetics. Then an anesthetic cream is used (note that there are no overly caring clinics that ignore this remedy), which almost completely eliminates the unpleasant sensations during the procedure itself, and directly transcends to work 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 suitability, accountability and participation. The specialist should clearly understand what you want and give you a detailed idea of its feasibility and what is needed for it. Together you choose the optimal scheme of procedures, select the optimal mode and the exposure depth. Be sure to listen to all the tips for taking care of yourself during rehabilitation, find out what other procedures (fillers, injections, massage courses or masks) can be performed for the best effect, and for which it is not themoment.
The duration of the procedure, as well as the number of procedures required in a course, depends on the task / problem with which you are applying at the aesthetic medicine center or clinic. On average, the treatment of the skin of the face and décolleté takes about an hour, the procedure may be one-time or require 1-2 repetitions with an interval of 2-6 months between them.
In the first few days a slight redness is possible, during the first week the dead skin cells will peel off. One of the important recommendations of specialists during this period is the use of creams with a high protection factor from harmful ultraviolet rays. According to various estimates, the effect of fractional laser rejuvenation can last up to 2 years.
