Laser facial rejuvenation gives a very natural and permanent effect. This is an excellent choice for surgical procedures.
Thanks to the stimulation of collagen in the skin, it stimulates natural regeneration processes and contributes to a visible improvement in skin condition. What is worth knowing about laser facial rejuvenation?
When should you use a laser for wrinkles?
Almost any anti-aging procedure can be done with a laser. Modern anti-wrinkle lasers have a variety of functions, often in one device:
- is an antidote to wrinkles,
- strengthen and tighten the skin,
- stop coloring,
- close capillaries
- remove acne scars.
Experts know everything about laser facial rejuvenation. This is a procedure that can be used at almost any age. Depending on the device and its parameters, it is possible to treat visible signs of skin aging or provide treatments that strengthen the condition of youthful skin to slow down the aging process. However, people over the age of 30 often decide to undergo laser skin rejuvenation when more noticeable wrinkles, discoloration and dilated capillaries appear on the face.
What is laser facial rejuvenation?
Laser facial rejuvenation is an aesthetic medicine procedure performed by a doctor. The specialist performs a series of laser "shots" aimed at areas of the face that require intensive regeneration. The energy precisely targets imperfections and mobilizes the skin to start its regenerative activities.
The laser emits a light beam of a specific wavelength, which affects specific chromophores in the skin. Chromosomes are substances such as water, melanin (skin pigment) and hemoglobin (blood pigment). Individual substances absorb laser energy, causing a photothermal (or photochemical in the case of picosecond lasers) effect and causing controlled damage to the treated tissue. This way you can eliminate wrinkles, discoloration or dilated capillaries (called spider veins). Fractional lasers, when in contact with water, affect skin cells, stimulating their production of collagen and elastin. Vascular laser captures hemoglobin and thus the blood vessel is closed. On the other hand, lasers designed to remove age spots react with melanin.
Is laser rejuvenation safe?
Provided that an experienced specialist, using professional equipment and in a specialized center, will perform laser facial rejuvenation, you can be sure that the procedure will be safe and will give the expected results. Depending on the device used, the procedure can be more or less painful. For people who are sensitive to pain, the doctor may use a local anesthetic using a numbing cream. Be prepared for irritation, redness and swelling to occur after the procedure. This is a normal skin reaction to laser exposure. The treatment causes controlled inflammation, which encourages the skin to regenerate. The temperature that causes laser facial rejuvenation causes an influx of fibroblasts, i. e. cells that produce collagen fibers. Thanks to this, the skin regenerates from the inside.
Since laser facial rejuvenation is based on the stimulation of natural processes in the skin, you must be prepared for the fact that the effects will not be visible immediately. First, you need multiple treatments to get visible results. Second, laser-initiated collagen remodeling lasts several weeks or even months. Therefore, to get the best results, it is necessary to wait about 3 months after the end of the laser therapy.
