Origin and effect of the technique

Laser rejuvenation of facial skin is a technique in which laser radiation is applied to the skin. For this purpose, a laser source - laser installation - is a device that can adjust the depth of penetration of the laser beam into the skin, exposure time and radiation temperature.

The correct choice of procedural parameters is the most important condition for a successful resuscitation, because with the slightest mistake from the cosmetologist, burns may appear on the face.

Penetrating into the tissue, the laser beam causes little damage to the cells, in response to the irritation that has arisen, the cells begin to actively produce collagen and elastin, and the growth of new cells resumes.

Stimulating regenerative processes lead to a complete rejuvenation of the facial skin, rejuvenation. The second name of the procedure is laser peeling.

Types of laser refreshes

There are different types of laser refreshments, depending on the depth of laser penetration:

1. Laser resurfacing. . . The laser works in the surface layer of the epidermis, exfoliating dead cells. The result of the procedure is noticeable after a week: the skin becomes smooth to the touch, smooth wrinkles disappear. During the procedure, three types of laser beams are used: erbium, carbon or neodymium.
2. Laser biorevitalization. . . The radiation enters the deep layers of the skin, and some cells are destroyed. The technique is more advanced than laser resurfacing, but gives a strong anti-aging effect. To enhance the effect of the laser, the beautician applies a combination of nutrients to the skin. After the procedure, deep wrinkles disappear and face contour improves. Recovery after bioremediation occurs within three months, severe edema and peeling of the epidermis may continue during this period.
3. Fractional peeling. . . Fractional laser resurfacing is the most effective and simultaneous method. The specificity of the procedure is that the laser beam is broken down into many micro-beams, which results in a softer effect on the skin. Radiation strikes the skin in the form of a mesh, therefore, intact areas remain between the focus of cellular damage - this contributes to faster tissue regeneration and a more powerful rejuvenating effect. The strength of the beam during fractional peeling can be changed by using a carbon dioxide or erbium laser.

Steps of the procedure

Before you perform the procedure, you need to come to an appointment with a cosmetologist. The doctor recognizes the problems, asks the patient if there are any violations of the procedure, talks about how the laser resurfacing will be performed.

4. The doctor moves the nozzle over the face, applying a laser sequentially on each area.
5. The treatment lasts 15-60 minutes, after which a moisturizing cream is applied to the skin.
