A modern method in cosmetology is laser rejuvenation of the face, which allows you to effectively combat age-related changes. The device for the procedure is a representative of a new generation of lasers for fractional treatment, which allows a gentle and safe effect on the epidermis.
Before starting anti-aging recovery sessions, it is important to get acquainted with the list of indicators and contraindications, as well as learn 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, overall recovery and synthesis activation.
It is carried out by the action of laser beams passing through the fractional cage, acting on the epidermis and the inner layers of the skin. The beam can be divided into several subtle micro-beams, resulting in a point effect on the condition of the tissues.
Local action does not damage adjacent skin areas. The micro-wounds left behind by the laser create a stressful heat shock condition for the cells.
They begin to actively divide, accelerating the synthesis of collagen-elastin fibers, which are responsible for the youth and elasticity of the epidermis. With age, the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers slows down, causing a visible prolapse of these tissues, the appearance of wrinkles, looseness, ptosis.
Fractional technology provides instant stimulation of all physiological processes occurring in the deep layers of the epidermis. Micro-injuries begin to actively heal, which leads to a natural shrinkage of the epidermis cover, providing strong lifting with accelerated wound healing.
Fractional exposure promotes the formation of the newly formed subcutaneous collagen framework, accelerated synthesis of cells and substances, activation of physiological microprocesses. In the complex, such a movement with a laser beam passing through the fractional cage leads to natural rejuvenation, pores narrow, healthy skin returns and relief is smoothed.
At what age is the procedure shown
The laser rejuvenation procedure is effective and safe, but according to experts, there are relative age limits for application.
The use of fractional technology is not recommended until the age of 17, because at this age the formation of skin structures continues, there is a possibility of deep damage to the skin. Also, laser rejuvenation should not be used after 60 years, during which time all the recovery processes in the body slow down.
The optimal age to start the procedure is 25-30 years after the first signs of skin aging appear. The intensity of the course and the regularity of the sessions are calculated by the cosmetologist on the basis of individual characteristics.
Instructions for laser rejuvenation procedure
Facial laser rejuvenation is a reliable fractional technology that is a powerful stimulant to activate internal processes.
Procedures are performed for the following indicators:
- Dull skin, hyperpigmentation.
- Age-related changes, deep wrinkles in the eye area, nasolabial folds.
- Dark rings and bags under the eyes.
- Prone to demodicosis, dilated veins.
- Adverse changes in epidermal tissue.
- Deep relief, presence of scars and marks on the skin.
- Loss of clear lines, oval swelling of the face.
- Prone to acne breakouts, acne scars and post-acne, enlarged pores.
Cosmetologists recommend laser therapy to prevent aging, skin renewal and restoration of skin structure.
Contraindications
Despite the general beneficial effects of the laser on the epidermis, it is necessary to read a number of contraindications before laser therapy sessions.
Fractional rejuvenation is not recommended:
- with keloid scar;
- during pregnancy and lactation;
- , in case of exacerbation of herpes infection; for oncological diseases
- ;
- presence of severe chronic diseases in the acute stage;
- dermatosis in the treatment areas; with a lack of immunity
- ;
- skin infections, focal rashes, skin diseases (psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis);
- epilepsy, autoimmune diseases.
The use of laser beams after chemical coatings is not recommended; should last at least 2 weeks. Before starting the procedure, the patient needs to consult a doctor to rule out contraindications that may lead to negative consequences.
Benefits
Laser fraction technology has many advantages over cosmetic procedures:
- The laser beam passing through the fractional lattice moves in the direction of the point without damaging the adjacent areas of the epidermis.
- After the laser treatment, no wounds, burns or other serious marks remain on the skin.
- Rehabilitation after the procedure does not take more than 3-4 days, most complications occur.
- Laser technology is effective because a specialist can treat a large area of skin in 1 session. The result is noticeable a few days after 1 session.
- The procedure is non-invasive, safe, there is no risk of infection. The laser beam works without 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 feeling serious discomfort.
One of the main advantages of the method is its versatility, because it can be subjected to fractional treatment, which is the most sensitive and sensitive to painful areas - around the eyes, décolleté, cervical region. The method can be used for all skin types, regardless of color type and tissue characteristics.
Grinding features with Clear Brilliant
Laser facial rejuvenation is a hardware method performed by certified specialists in a clinic. The innovative fractionation device Clear Brilliant belongs to the new generation of equipment.
This is a highly sensitive device that allows you to control the intensity and depth of exposure to laser micro-rays, which makes it one of the most reliable. The directed movement of the scattered light beam penetrates to the required depth, does not damage the neighboring areas, does not cause swelling and redness.
The principle of operation is to concentrate the beam with a built-in manipulator and penetrate to a depth not exceeding 0. 4 mm. The beam diameter is regulated by an integrated optimization system, equipped with a single distribution system in motion.
The laser can be used for deep or surface grinding. The wavelength is adjusted in the range of 1440-1997 Nm, depending on the chosen exposure method.
Thermal microtrauma occurs in the treated areas to activate internal recovery and microcirculation processes. The laser has a sensitive effect on the cortical layer by enhancing the natural processes of cell rejuvenation and tissue renewal.
Can be used for any phototype, including tanned or dark skin. One of the advantages of the device is the painlessness of the procedure, a short recovery time and at the same time the speed of processing large areas of the epidermis in one procedure.
Thanks to its wide field of application, the laser can be used not only for facial rejuvenation, but also in complex applications to restore the elasticity of the skin on the inner surface of the mammary glands, arms and thighs.
The principle of operation of this laser is the same as other non-ablative fractional devices, but with maximum safety. The most effective method of laser treatment using professional cosmetics.
Sessions are a synthesis of laser effects and delivery of biologically active components to overcome age-related problems, restore skin elasticity and youth.
Is it possible to remove pigmentation
In cosmetology, modern laser technologies are actively used to eliminate hyperpigmentation. Intensely colored areas do not look aesthetically pleasing, they may be the result of age-related changes or individual characteristics of melanin production in the skin.
The essence of the procedure for the removal of age spots by the fractional method is a local effect on the lower layers of the skin, but without compromising the integrity of the subcutaneous layers.
Fractional laser beam inhibits melanin, which is responsible for the formation of age spots. The number of sessions to remove pigmentation is determined by a cosmetologist after assessing the condition of the skin, the characteristics of the color type and the severity of the color of the spots.
The laser can erase:
- freckles;
- sunspots;
- age-related hyperpigmentation;
- melasma;
- pigmented changes after trauma;
- epidermal mol.
The result is the destruction of melanin in the treated area, the renewal of cells by normalizing the accumulation of healthy pigment. As a result, the pigmentation gradually peels off along with the keratinized layer of the epidermis.
How the procedure works
Laser facial rejuvenation is an effective complex procedure performed in a specialized salon or clinic.
Before starting the course, it is necessary to undergo minimal training: do not sunbathe 2 weeks before the procedure, do not wipe the area with alcohol, exclude chemical peels and aggressive cosmetic procedures.
It is recommended that you do not take antibiotics, sulfonamides or anticoagulants.
Standard meeting algorithm:
- consultation is carried out, skin condition is assessed, medical questionnaire is filled out, except for possible contraindications.
- Sites are degreased with a special non-alcoholic compound before laser treatment.
- Eyes should be protected with special goggles to prevent damage to the mucous membranes of the eyes.
- The doctor makes 2-3 transitions from the treatment areas with a fractional addition. The laser warms the areas, the pulse duration, the depth of penetration of the beam is regulated by a cosmetologist.
- After the session, a special soothing composition is applied to the skin, as well as a restorative mask that helps heal micro wounds.
The specialist may recommend the use of an anesthetic ointment to reduce pain in the most sensitive areas.
Patients may experience a slight nausea during the procedure.
Recover after laser coating
After the laser surface, the skin needs careful care because the internal regenerative processes are activated. After laser therapy, the skin is most sensitive to the sun, so you should apply a protective cream with at least SPF 35 before going out.
The post-procedure period covers the following activities:
- It is not recommended to visit the solarium or sunbathe for 2 weeks.
- Avoid thermal treatments, baths and saunas other than swimming, as the skin is sensitive. It is recommended to take a hot shower instead of a hot bath for 3 days.
- In order not to damage the epidermis, chemical peeling and deep rubbing are strictly prohibited.
- Provide maximum hydration, apply hyaluronate-based creams and masks.
- Instead of washing, wipe the laser-treated areas with antiseptics.
- Do not apply alcohol to the treated areas, which can cause dryness and irritation.
After the laser treatment, the skin may feel a slight redness and then begin to peel. Shells are not removed; this can disrupt the structure of the epidermis. A moisturizing ointment will help soften skin
Decorative cosmetics are allowed for 2 days after the session, but you should choose the most natural and lightweight products. Proper care promotes rapid recovery, eliminates the development of adverse side effects. For a thorough recovery, a cosmetologist may recommend taking vitamins and rinsing with boiled ozone water.
Recommended ratio
Laser facial rejuvenation is an innovative technology designed for effective but most reliable effects. It is important to rule out contraindications before starting procedures to avoid negative consequences. At the initial consultation, the doctor assesses the condition of the epidermis and determines the number of sessions.
> The degree is calculated based on the following:
- age of the patient;
- depth of aesthetic problem;
- individual features;
- belongs to this or that phototype;
- laser type.
The optimal number of sessions for patients between the ages of 25 and 40 is 3-4 procedures with a 2-3 week interval for a cosmetologist. After 40 years, age-related changes are more global, so a specialist can schedule a course of 5-6 sessions over a period of 3-4 weeks.
Therapy can be combined with microdermabrasion sessions, surface peeling, mesotherapy and specialized facial care programs.
