Modern technique in cosmetology - laser facial rejuvenation that allows you to effectively combat age-related changes. The procedure device is a representative of a new generation of laser for fractional treatment, which allows you to gently and safely affect the epidermis.
Before starting anti-aging recovery sessions, it is important to familiarize yourself with the list of indications and contraindications, as well as learn about the nuances of the technology and methods of exposure.
The essence of fractional technology
Laser facial rejuvenation is based on fractional technology, the essence of which is non-surgical restoration of turgor, elasticity, general recovery and activation of synthesis
The action on the epidermis and inner layers of the skin is done thanks to the work of laser beams that pass through the separation of the fractional grid. It is capable of splitting the beam into several thinnest micro-rays, resulting in a point effect on the condition of the tissue.
Locally directed action does not damage adjacent areas of the skin. The micro-wounds that the laser leaves behind create a stressful state of heat shock for the cells.
They begin with active division, there is an accelerated synthesis of collagen-elastin fibers that are responsible for the youth and elasticity of the epidermis. Over the years, the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers slows down, leading to visible tissue prolapse, the appearance of wrinkles, sagging, ptosis.
Fractional technology enables instantaneous stimulation of all physiological processes that occur in the deep layers of the epidermis. Micro lesions begin to actively heal, leading to a natural reduction of the lobe of the epidermis, providing a strong lift combined with accelerated wound healing.
Fractional action contributes to the creation of the newly formed subcutaneous framework of collagen, accelerated synthesis of cells and substances, activation of physiological microprocesses. In the complex, such action of the laser beam passing through the fractional lattice leads to natural rejuvenation, the pores are narrowed, a healthy complexion is restored and the relief is smoothed.
At what age is the procedure indicated
The laser rejuvenation procedure is effective and safe, but, according to experts, there are relative age restrictions for its application.
Fraction technology is not recommended to be used until the age of 17, because the formation of skin structures continues at this age, there is a possibility of deep skin damage. Also, laser rejuvenation should not be used after the age of 60, during which period all recovery processes in the body slow down.
The optimal age to start the procedure is after 25-30 years, when the first signs of skin aging appear. The intensity of the course and the regularity of the sessions are calculated by the cosmetologist according to the indications, based on individual characteristics.
Indications for laser rejuvenation procedure
Laser facial rejuvenation is a safe fractional technology that is a powerful stimulant for activating internal processes.
Procedures are performed according to the following indications:
- Dark complexion, hyperpigmentation.
- Presence of age changes, deep wrinkles in the eye area, nasolabial folds.
- Eyelids and bags under the eyes.
- Predisposition to demodicosis, varicose veins.
- Negative changes in epidermal texture.
- Expressed relief, the presence of scars and scars on the skin.
- Loss of line clarity, swollen oval face.
- Prone to acne, acne scars and post-acne, enlarged pores.
Cosmetologists recommend laser therapy to prevent the aging process, deep renewal and renewal of skin structure.
Contraindications
Despite the general beneficial effects of lasers on the epidermis, a number of contraindications should be familiarized with before laser therapy sessions.
Fractional rejuvenation is not recommended:
- with a tendency towards keloid scars;
- during pregnancy and lactation;
- in case of worsening herpes infection;
- for oncological diseases;
- presence of severe chronic diseases in the acute phase;
- dermatosis in treatment areas;
- with lack of immunity;
- skin infections, focal rash, skin diseases (psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis);
- epilepsy, autoimmune disorders.
It is not recommended to use a laser beam after chemical peeling, a period of at least 2 weeks must pass. Prior to the procedure, the patient needs a medical consultation to rule out contraindications that may lead to negative consequences.
Benefits
Laction fraction technology has many advantages over cosmetic procedures-analogues:
- Laser beams, passing through the fractional grating, act in a directed manner, without damaging adjacent areas of the epidermis.
- After laser exposure, no scars, burns or other serious marks remain on the skin.
- Rehabilitation after the procedure does not last longer than 3-4 days, it usually passes without complications.
- Laser technology is effective because an expert can treat a large area of skin in one session. The result is noticeable in a few days after one session.
- The procedure is non-invasive, safe, there is no risk of infection. The laser beam acts non-contact on the surface, but the thermal radiation penetrates deep into the tissue.
Laser rejuvenation is a painless technology, during the sessions patients can feel a slight tingling sensation, without significant discomfort.
One of the main advantages of the method is its versatility, because the most sensitive and sensitive to painful areas can undergo fractional treatment - the area around the eyes, décolleté, cervical area. The method can be used for any skin type, regardless of color type and texture characteristics.
Special feature of Clear Brilliant grinding
Laser facial rejuvenation is a hardware method performed by certified specialists in the clinic. The innovative Clear Brilliant fractional device belongs to a new generation of equipment.
This is a very sensitive instrument that allows you to control the intensity and depth of exposure to laser micro-rays, which makes the device one of the safest. The directed action of the scattered beam of light penetrates to the required depth, does not injure adjacent areas, does not cause swelling, redness.
The principle of operation consists in focusing the beam with a built-in manipulator and penetrating to a depth of no more than 0. 4 mm. The beam diameter is regulated by a built-in optimization system, equipped with a unique motion distribution system.
The laser can be used for deep or surface grinding. The wavelength is adjustable in the range of 1440-1997 Nm, depending on the selected exposure method.
Thermal microtrauma occurs to activate internal recovery and microcirculation processes in treatment areas. The laser acts sensitively on the cortical layer, enhancing the natural processes of cellular rejuvenation and tissue regeneration.
Can be used for any phototype, including tan or dark skin. One of the advantages of the device is the painlessness of the procedure, a short recovery period, as well as the speed of processing large areas of the epidermis in one procedure.
Due to its wide range of applications, the laser can be used not only to rejuvenate the face, but also in complex programs to restore the elasticity of the skin of the mammary glands, the inner surface of the arms and thighs.
The principle of operation of this laser is identical to the principle of operation of other non-ablative fractional devices, but implemented with maximum safety. The most effective method of laser treatment using professional cosmetic products.
Sessions are a synthesis of laser exposure and delivery of biologically active components to eliminate age-related problems, restore skin elasticity and youth.
Is it possible to remove pigmentation
Modern laser technologies in cosmetology are actively used to remove hyperpigmentation. Intensely colored areas look unaesthetic, may be the result of age-related changes or individual characteristics of melanin production in the skin.
The essence of the procedure of removing age spots by the fractional method consists in the local effect on the lower layers of the skin, but without disturbing the integrity of the subcutaneous layers.
Fractional laser beam has a depressing effect on melanin, which is responsible for the appearance of age spots. The number of sessions for removing pigmentation is determined by the cosmetologist after assessing the condition of the skin, the characteristics of the type of color, as well as the strength of the color of the spots.
Laser can remove:
- freckles;
- "sunspots";
- age hyperpigmentation;
- melasma;
- pigmented changes after trauma;
- moles of the epidermis.
The result is the destruction of melanin in the treated area, cell renewal with the normalization of the accumulation of healthy pigment. As a result, the pigmentation gradually peels off along with the keratinized layer of the epidermis.
How the process goes
Laser facial rejuvenation is an effective complex procedure that is performed in a specialized salon or clinic.
Before starting the course you must undergo minimal preparation: do not sunbathe 2 weeks before the procedure, do not wipe the area with products containing alcohol, exclude chemical peels and aggressive cosmetic procedures
It is recommended to stop taking antibiotics, sulfonamides and anticoagulants.
Standard session algorithm:
- a consultation is conducted, an assessment of the skin condition is performed, a medical questionnaire is filled out with the exception of possible contraindications.
- Before the laser treatment, the spots are degreased with a special alcohol-free ingredient.
- The organs of vision must be protected with special goggles to avoid injuries to the mucous membranes of the eyes.
- The doctor conducts 2-3 passes through the treatment zones with a fractional extension. The laser heats the areas, the duration of the pulse, the depth of air penetration is regulated by a cosmetologist.
- After the session, a special soothing composition is applied to the skin, as well as a regenerating mask that promotes the healing of micro-wounds.
A specialist may recommend the use of anesthetic ointment to relieve pain in the most sensitive areas.
During the procedure, patients may feel a slight tingling sensation.
Recovery after laser surface application
The skin needs careful care after laser renewal, because internal regenerative processes are activated. After laser therapy, the skin is most sensitive to the sun, so before going outside, you should apply a protective cream with a factor of at least SPF 35.
The post-procedure period includes the following activities:
- It is not recommended to visit the solarium or sunbathe for two weeks.
- Avoid thermal treatments, baths and saunas, as well as swimming pools, as the skin becomes more sensitive. It is recommended to take a shower instead of a warm bath for 3 days.
- Chemical peeling, deep scrubbing is strictly forbidden, so as not to injure the epidermis.
- Enable maximum hydration, apply creams and masks based on hyaluronate.
- Instead of washing, wipe the laser-treated areas with antiseptics.
- Avoid applying alcohol-based products to treated areas that can cause dryness and irritation.
After exposure to the laser, the skin may feel a slight redness, after which it begins to peel. The crusts cannot be removed, which can disrupt the structure of the epidermis. Moisturizing ointment will help soften the skin.
The application of decorative cosmetics is allowed 2 days after the session, but choose products with the most natural and light composition. Proper care promotes rapid recovery, eliminates the development of negative side effects. For a comprehensive restoration, the cosmetologist may recommend taking vitamins, washing with boiled ozonated water.
Recommended rate
Laser facial rejuvenation is an innovative technology developed with the goal of effective but safest effect. Before starting the procedure, it is important to exclude all contraindications in order to avoid negative consequences. At a preliminary consultation, the doctor determines the number of sessions by assessing the condition of the epidermis.
> The rate is calculated based on:
- patient age;
- depth of aesthetic problem;
- individual characteristics;
- belonging to one or the other phototype;
- type of laser device.
The optimal number of sessions for patients aged 25 to 40 years is 3-4 procedures with an interval of 2-3 weeks in a visit to a cosmetologist. After 40 years, age changes are more global, so a specialist can prescribe a course of 5-6 sessions with an interval of 3-4 weeks.
