The first signs of skin aging appear when you turn 25. Unfortunately, this boundary is usually not the earliest date, but the latest age problem detection. Raw laser resurfacing for rejuvenation is now a yesterday procedure, and for good reason, because women have the option to do without the lengthy "resuscitation" of skin that is very red and essentially traumatized during the procedure. .
The latest technology, minimally invasive and safe: skin rejuvenation with fractional laser, restoration and acceleration of the rhythm of cells (growth and metabolism, as well as removal of harmful substances).
How does it work? When exposed to a focused laser beam, micro-damage occurs to the skin tissue with a "column" or "cone" directed perpendicular to the skin surface. The cells surrounding the microdamage go into a state of thermal shock, as a result of which they begin active division to restore the skin area to the place of the microdamage. As a result, this leads to the strengthening of the damaged area, which gives a smoothness of the skin, practically erasing wrinkles and a noticeable lifting effect.
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 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 the fast recovery. Basically, the main rehabilitation period lasts 1-2 days. This time is determined by the diameter of the laser skin microdamage, the smaller it is, the faster the rehabilitation will pass (for example, fractional rejuvenation with a CO2RE laser has garnered many rave reviews). You will not have scars or unnatural luster of 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.
Characteristics of modern laser facial rejuvenation procedures
First of all, they clean the skin in the areas of programmed laser exposure from pollution and cosmetics. Next, an anesthetic cream is used (note that there are no too 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. You will only feel warmth and perhaps a subtle tingling sensation.
When choosing a doctor, focus primarily on the degree of appropriateness, responsibility and participation. The specialist must clearly understand what you want and give you a detailed idea of how achievable it is and what is needed for it. Together you choose the optimal scheme of procedures, select the optimal mode and depth of exposure. Be sure to listen to all the advice on how to take care of yourself during rehabilitation, find out what other procedures (fillers, injections, a massage course or masks) can be done for the best effect and for which this is not the time.
The duration of the procedure, as well as the number of procedures required in a course, depends on the task / problem with which you go to the aesthetic medicine center or clinic. On average, the treatment of the skin of the face and décolleté lasts about an hour, the procedure can be single or require 1-2 repetitions with an interval of 2-6 months from each other.
In the first days a slight redness is possible, during the first week dead skin cells peel off. One of the important recommendations of specialists during this period 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 coagulation and systemic diseases of the connective tissue, oncological diseases, epilepsy. Fractional laser rejuvenation is worth a bit of a wait if you have a fresh tan / have been active in tanning beds for the past month, as this has significantly increased the sensitivity of your skin.
