Laser therapy is one of the most modern ways to treat various skin diseases and other problems.However, for many, it causes concerns in connection with some rumors.In this article, we will consider this type of treatment, its pros and cons, to still find out what such therapy is.
What is the laser rejuvenation of the skin
Town affects all the internal organs of a person and tissue, and so far this process, unfortunately, is impossible to stop.In addition, the facial tissue is affected not only by the environment, but also by facial expressions, as well as articulatory and chewing functions.In this regard, the facial tissues are very vulnerable.
With age, the collagen frame of the skin is weakened, so the tissues fall, the facial features sometimes change beyond recognition.From this point of view, wrinkles are not the most terrible “age” trouble.Young people have enough collagen in the skin, so the tissues of the face and body successfully confront omission.But over time, collagen fibers are poorly produced, and therefore the skin sags.
One of the most effective ways to combat age is a lifting (lifting).Today, there are a lot of methods to make a tightening without the intervention of the surgeon, but most of them are unsafe or not as effective as laser rejuvenation.When the client wants to get a quick result, he turns to the clinic for the skin suspension procedure, and as a result, there is a very unfavorable effect, which contributes to premature aging.To get rid of skin sagging, there are non -invasive technologies.
Deep chemical peeling and dermabrasion can be considered not entirely relevant methods of rejuvenation, although recently they were very popular.Laser technologies are modern and safe.There is no risk of infection to the patient, and the master can accurately control the depth of the laser and his uniformity.These are very important advantages.
Radiation affects biological tissues.Chromophores absorb light in a certain wavelength range.Skin structures are 90% of the water.For water, the wavelength range is an infrared spectrum, for hemoglobin - green, for hair and melanin of the skin - red.
Possible complications
Laser rejuvenation can also cause negative manifestations:
- severe facial edema;
- persistent redness;
- burn;
- the emergence of a clear border between the radiation of skin areas and the rest;
- hyperpigmentation;
- strengthening rashes;
- Exacerbation of herpes.
The causes of complications are errors in the procedure, poor preparation for it, poor -quality care.
What is the effect of laser skin rejuvenation
If you still are afraid of something and do not decide on the procedure for fractional rejuvenation of the face, read the reviews of the patients who have passed through this.The procedure is almost painless, will not take much time, a long rehabilitation and intervention of the surgeon will not take.The effects of laser rejuvenation are listed below:
- Getting rid of scars, vascular stars, stretch marks and pigmentation on the face;
- Pore narrowing;
- The skin will become more elastic and elastic.This is possible due to the fact that in the course of the procedure in skin cells, collagen and elastin are synthesized under the influence of laser radiation;
- Reduction of wrinkles;
- Removal of "goose legs";
- Improving complexion;
- The appearance of a clearer contour of the face.
One week after the session, the result will be obvious.But it needs to be fixed, so several procedures will be required.
What is the laser rejuvenation of the skin of the face
Depending on how deeply the laser beam penetrates into your skin, the mechanism of exposure changes.The client can choose the most suitable method for the laser rejuvenation of the face.
Ablandative laser rejuvenation
Very micro-membranes of the skin are removed by laser.Those zones that were damaged during healing are pulled together.After the first session, you will notice an amazing result.
Non -resigned laser rejuvenation
When microzones are damaged, collagen and elastin are updated in the skin.The laser beam penetrates deep into the skin of the patient, so the outer layers will not suffer, the renewal of collagen occurs in the deep layers.The process lasts longer than with an ablap laser rejuvenation.
The most optimal option is a combination of various types of laser rejuvenation, because in this case the cells are renewed both on the surface of the skin and in the deep layers.But still you should consult with the master.
The course of intervention
Laser rejuvenation is usually carried out on an outpatient basis, in a cosmetology room.As a rule, it needs local anesthesia, for example, using an analgesic cream.
After anesthesia, the cosmetologist uses a special nozzle.Using the exact movements of the laser beam, it removes the old cells of the epidermis.After that, the growth of young epitheliocytes is stimulated.
When processing with a non -resident diode laser, anesthesia is not always required, there may be enough cooling gel.
The session lasts 30-45 minutes, in some cases up to 2 hours.
What are the types of laser rejuvenation
There are several types of laser peeling.
1) superficial
This method is designed to process the deformed upper layer of the skin, i.e.epidermis.
Such peeling allows you to quickly remove pigment spots and make uneven skin smooth.
Superficial peeling is suitable for the lip, neckline, neck zones and around the eyes, that is, it can be trusted with the most sensitive areas.
Such procedures include most types of fractional rejuvenation of the face and all types of laser grinding of the skin.
2) Middle
This type of peeling is suitable for those who want to get rid of keratinized cells in the basal (lowest) layer of the epidermis.
Middle peeling helps to smooth wrinkles of various depths, as well as keloid scars and stretch marks.In addition, he saves the patient from warts, shallow scars, which are the result of acne, papillomas, aligns the complexion, eliminating age spots.Middle peeling affects problem areas on the neck, face, neckline, hands.
The skin is irradiated with a frequent mesh of rays of various types of lasers, including neodymium, erbium and CO2 laser.This method is called fractional.Each type of laser has its advantages and disadvantages.They are due to various wavelengths, the depth of penetration and the methodology of the procedure.
A completely different method of median peeling is a laser dermabise.It differs in that in addition to laser beams, the skin during the session receives a lot of additional energy, which contributes to the formation of microvs, in which the fabrics evaporate due to the influence of the laser.In this case, laser grinding is carried out using CO2 and Erby laser.
3) deep
Deep peeling includes laser rejuvenation of the face performed with the help of the device, as well as the RF unit.Such methods are considered the most effective.We can say that this is a tightening without surgery.
In RF mentioned above, laser rays penetrate deep into the epidermis.At the same time, radio frequency energy has an effect on the deep layers.As a result, the problem areas of the face and body warm up.
And the fractional RF shape of the face and laser rejuvenation using the Palomar apparatus allow us to make collagen bundles denser and form a supporting frame for the skin from them.In addition, during the procedure, anti -aging and regenerative processes are activated in those areas on which the master acts with a laser.
The advantage of the fractional RF facility of the face and laser rejuvenation using the Palomar apparatus is also that the effect of procedures improves within six months after passing the course.
Advantages and risks
Like any cosmetic technology, laser rejuvenation has its pros and cons.
Advantages:
- The procedure gives a very good anti -aging effect;
- A wide range of indications: thin wrinkles, consequences of acne, pigment spots, telary ectosions;
- a decrease in the manifestations of photo starting caused by a long stay in the sun;

A laser rejuvenation session when performing a qualified cosmetologist is usually safe.However, although rarely, complications and side effects develop:
- infectious inflammation with the development of dermatitis;
- the formation of scars or phenomenon of "gauze" - a fine mesh on the skin surface;
- Hyper- or hypopigmentation in the processed area.

How the laser rejuvenation procedure goes
For the procedure, a special laser is needed, which efficiently processes problem areas of the patient's skin.It can be used on the skin of any state and thickness.
Laser bundles (fractions) contribute to the evaporation of small areas of the skin, our eyes cannot see them.The fabrics warm up, which is why the old collagen and elastin are destroyed.As a result, the skin is partially updated, and its condition improves.
The procedure of laser rejuvenation of the face is carried out in a few steps:
- First, the master prepares the skin of the client for the upcoming procedure.To do this, the skin area on which the effect will be carried out is cleared, a special cream is applied to it, which allows reducing pain.
- The specialist carefully examines the skin and enters the appropriate data into the fractional laser.
- With the help of a laser, areas of the skin in a certain sector evaporate.It lasts about half an hour.
- On this, the procedure is coming to an end.The skin is treated with special ointment.
Do not hope to notice the effect immediately after leaving the office of the master of laser rejuvenation.First, the skin will turn red, perhaps there will be a small edema.Do not be alarmed, this is permissible.The skin will completely recover in three days, and the effect will be noticeable after 10 days.
To fix the result, you should take a course of sessions, especially if you experience significant skin problems.Field laser rejuvenation of the face and skin has a cumulative property.
Advantages of the laser method
This method of rejuvenation of the face allows you to process large areas of the skin for 1 procedure, while its recovery resource is preserved and revived.As a result, rehabilitation occurs quickly and there is a long increase in a positive effect.
The rejuvenation procedure with a fractional laser is carried out by a point effect, so the epidermis is damaged minimally.Traces disappear after 3-4 days.Anesthesia is not required.Side effects are rare.In some cases, there is:
- itching passing in a short time;
- temporary appearance of red spots;
- activation of herpes;
- peeling and skin burn;
- The formation of crusts.
For complete rejuvenation, you need to go from 4 to 8 sessions.How many procedures will be required in your case, depends on the age and condition of the skin.A qualified cosmetologist will be able to answer this question.Between the procedures you need to take a break of 2-3 weeks.
Are the consequences possible after the procedure possible
Side effects after laser rejuvenation of the skin are possible, but are rarely observed:
- The occurrence of light itching.
- The formation of red spots in the zone of exposure to the laser.
- Activation of the herpes virus.
- Violation of the integrity of the skin: peeling, small burns, the formation of crust.
It is worth remembering that it is not necessary after laser rejuvenation that you will notice any of the listed symptoms.If they are, then they will pass in a few days.In most patients, everything goes without consequences.It depends on the sensitivity of the skin and its structure.
Approximately 4% of patients show negative consequences, such as:
- The skin, prone to seborrhea, is covered with white eels (miliums).
- After the procedure, scars or keloid scars remain.
- Hyperpigmentation of the skin.
- Exacerbation of herpes and the activation of its rashes (despite the prevention).
Recovery period
Immediately after the procedure, some of the patients may have undesirable effects.Usually they are insignificant and quickly disappear.The most commonly noted:
- swelling and redness of the treated area;
- Moderate irritation resembling a sunburn.
In rare situations, the manipulation causes burning, the formation of scars or age spots.
Rehabilitation depends on the type of radiation and size of the processed surface.A deep effect is accompanied by a more pronounced effect, but a long recovery period is required.Soft procedures, such as processing with a diode laser, do not need prolonged rehabilitation.
Usually recovery takes 2 weeks.At this time, the destroyed epidermal cells are rejected, and new places are occupied by new ones.Redness or fine peeling can remain longer.
