Non-ablative photorejuvenation is a modern cosmetic technology that improves the appearance and condition of the skin.
The medical effect of a laser can be ablative, based on the destruction of the surface layers of the skin, or non-ablative, in which heating and, perhaps, targeted destruction of deeper tissues is achieved without damaging the surface layers. The classic methods of laser cosmetology are ablative technologies - skin renewal, removal of scar tissue. However, modern lasers can stimulate positive changes in the skin without significant damage. Such influences are actively used to achieve an effect called photorejuvenation. Under the influence of a specially created ("enhanced") light beam - hence the word "photography" smoothes small and medium wrinkles, improves complexion, restores elasticity and smoothness of the skin; skin aging stops.
The mechanism of photorejuvenation
With non-ablative photorejuvenation, microbeam penetrates the tissues to the required depth (up to 3 mm). Passing through the epidermis (the surface layer of the skin), the beam does not interact with it. In the deeper layers of the dermis, which are the target of penetration, under the influence of a ray of light, a large number of young collagen molecules are created - a protein that forms the basis of connective tissue and is responsible for its strength and elasticity. The energy of the laser pulse heats all layers of the skin, contributing to the improvement of microcirculation.
The best result is achieved in young and middle-aged people, ie the method is the most effective for correcting the first signs of skin aging (from 30 to 35 years). This is due to the fact that the effect of lasers involves the reactive forces of the organism itself, and age reduces their activity.
Indications for laser skin rejuvenation
- wrinkles, looseness and dull skin color;
- noticeable network of rosacea (spider veins);
- dark spots.
The effectiveness of the method
The result is noticeable even after one procedure (it appears after 3-4 weeks). The course of laser rejuvenation usually consists of 3-10 procedures. The break between procedures should be 1 month.
The effect of non-ablative photo rejuvenation consists of:
- visible smoothing of wrinkles;
- reduction of dry skin, the feeling of "tightness" of the skin disappears or is significantly reduced;
