The effectiveness of the technique is so high that a positive result will be noticeable after the first time.
The laser rejuvenation procedure has a cumulative effect, since after the first session in the inner layers of the skin, the natural processes of elastin and collagen production are activated, which are responsible for the smoothness and elasticity of the skin.At each subsequent session, the skin rejuvenates, the maximum effect can be observed six months after the start of the procedure.

How is laser rejuvenation performed?
Immediately before the start of the procedure, a deep facial cleansing is required, for which soft scrubs and exfoliating compositions are used. Laser treatment is carried out exclusively on clean skin.
Depending on the desired end result, both individual areas of the face and the entire skin surface can be treated with a laser. The best option is to carry out rejuvenation not only on the face, but also on the neck and décolleté.
The laser beam penetrates deep into the skin, heating its inner layers, thus actively reducing old collagen fibers, which automatically triggers the production of new ones. Laser facial rejuvenation is performed with pulses lasting between 0. 2 and 0. 5 ms, which is absolutely safe and poses no risk to human health.
The result of laser exposure to the skin are newly formed recovery foci - separate areas of the face where the active process of natural elastin production takes place. A huge plus is the fact that the outer layer of the skin has intact microscopic areas, this makes the recovery process almost invisible externally, that is, there are no transition points between the renewed skin, there are no swellings and bumps.
After the end of the process, the face is treated with a special emollient solution, it is not recommended to use decorative cosmetics for several hours and to stay in the sun for a long time. Otherwise, there are no contraindications, although most experts recommend not visiting the beach and solarium in the first days after the sessions and not exposing the face to severe cracking and contact with salt or chlorinated water.
