The sign of beautiful, healthy skin is known - smooth, silky, elastic, with a natural healthy glow and even color - it fades and fades every year.They are replaced by dryness, dullness, wrinkles... These manifestations are accompanied by enlarged pores and vascular networks, pigment spots appear... Fortunately, today all these aesthetic problems, which are considered the main signs of aging, can be solved quickly and thoroughly - laser skin rejuvenation will help with this.
Laser facial skin rejuvenation: an emphasis on technology
Laser facial skin rejuvenation - resurfacing or peeling - may be the most optimal among the options to solve the problem of aging "in one move".Indeed, with the advent of new models of laser devices, all other methods of treating aging symptoms and similar defects found in cosmetology have receded into the background.Laser in cosmetology is primarily a multidisciplinary platform.Thanks to this quality, cosmetologists have the opportunity to perform various treatments during one procedure.The new device for fractional laser resurfacing provides long-term results, is relatively non-aggressive, and allows you to work on almost any part of the body (not just the face).What is important is that the device for fractional laser resurfacing can be used to rejuvenate the skin from any type of photo.Therefore, solving aesthetic problems with the help of lasers on dark, very dark or tanned skin has become possible recently.In addition, several types of laser skin rejuvenation are available today.
Laser facial skin rejuvenation: procedure options
The latest generation devices make it possible to perform a variety of anti-aging procedures such as fractional skin rejuvenation, superficial or deep laser skin resurfacing on the face and the whole body.They all work according to the following principle: under the influence of laser pulses, the process of photothermolysis occurs in the skin (epidermis and the outer layer of the dermis) - old cells are destroyed so that during the regeneration process they are replaced by new, young ones.As a result, after recovery, fresh skin (in every sense of the word) grows on the face or in other treatment areas.
With a fractional skin rejuvenation laser, the beam allows a dosed effect on micro-areas of "old" and problematic skin, "evaporating" dead cells, stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin proteins, and also destroying pathogenic microflora.After the treatment, the natural stimulation of the tissue self-healing process begins: young and healthy tissue is formed, the color and texture of the skin becomes even.
Indications for laser fractional skin rejuvenation: significant signs of aging and photoaging, wrinkles, uneven skin texture;small scars, scars (including after acne).
Separately, it is worth noting another procedure, which is included in the range of capabilities of the latest models of the device - carbon laser peeling.This technology combines laser action and light beams (which provide additional photorejuvenation).The nuance of this procedure is a special carbon enhancer, a gel mask, which contains carbon dioxide nanoparticles.Nanogel is called carbon (translated as "carbon").The cosmetic effect of nanogel is based on its ability to penetrate deep into the skin, bind epidermal cells, and also attract sebum, dust, and residual dirt.The carbon nanogel should also prepare the skin for exposure to the laser beam, resulting in uniform exfoliation of dead and keratinized epidermal cells.At the same stage, the inflammatory process is leveled.Carbon laser peeling is suitable for treating acne and normalizing skin lipid metabolism (seboregulation).
Indications for carbon laser peeling: problem skin prone to inflammatory rashes, acne, blackheads, increased oil, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, early signs of aging and photoaging, age spots.
As a rule, with laser skin rejuvenation, the aesthetic effect is achieved with minimal discomfort: if the resurfacing is done superficially, it happens that there is no need for preliminary anesthesia.No marks/scars remain, which is especially important when localizing aesthetic defects on the face.With fractional rejuvenation, the selective destruction of abnormal areas makes it possible to remove cosmetic defects at a certain depth without damaging nearby tissues.The surrounding tissue does not heat up and, therefore, is not damaged.
Laser skin rejuvenation: when the signs coincide with the possibilities
Sometimes rejuvenation and laser skin lifting is not the only task of a cosmetologist.However, laser skin rejuvenation is, first of all, an integrated approach: fighting the signs of aging and at the same time treating dermatological problems.Thanks to the new technology that allows you to control the power and duration of the laser pulse, cosmetologists can choose the depth of resurfacing for each phototype of the skin and adjust the trajectory of the laser beam to solve some other specific and more specific problems.The equipment of the device (replaceable applicator-nozzle), various pulse durations, the ability to adjust the beam size, energy density and depth of pulse penetration ensure a wide range of therapeutic effects at a high speed of the procedure.So, having decided on laser skin rejuvenation, you can expect a comprehensive effect.In particular, in many salons you can perform not only laser skin rejuvenation (resurfacing, tightening), but also:
- heal or soften acne and post-acne,
- remove wine stains
- get rid of visible symptoms of rosacea and clinical manifestations of rosacea,
- removes various types of pigment spots,
- reduce the appearance of cellulite,
- reduce fat deposits,
- remove scars and scars,
- remove or correct stretch marks,
- get rid of the tattoo.
Wrinkles - shallow and mimic, sagging skin, age spots, telangiectasias, spider veins, red and blue spider veins, hemangioma and telangiectasia, seborrheic keratosis, rosacea and rosacea, benign skin tumors (lentigines, coffee spots, nevi), small blue veins - with almost all skin defects that can be treated by laser beam!Some lasers are also used for nail therapy - strengthening the structure of the nail plate and increasing its growth.Using a laser, cosmetologists can perform high-precision coagulation of any type and diameter of vessels, but unfortunately, this method does not work for varicose veins.Usually, several sessions are needed to achieve the final result.
Contraindications to laser facial rejuvenation procedures are also quite extensive.These are malignant and premalignant diseases, hematological diseases, severe chronic diseases, infections and exacerbations of dermatological diseases, damage to the intended treatment area, as well as pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Laser skin rejuvenation: features and disadvantages
Of course, laser skin rejuvenation is not a 100% ideal procedure: most of the results will depend on the skill and experience of the cosmetologist (for this reason, you should approach the choice as carefully as possible).Accurate, predictable, safe effect at the source of the problem, computer control of the impact depth - a guarantee of a clear and lasting therapeutic effect, as well as a minimal recovery period.By using sufficient power and adjusting the wavelength, an experienced cosmetologist achieves predictable results, which significantly reduces the possibility of side effects.
No less careful than cosmetologists and clinics, you should choose the time for laser skin rejuvenation: on a cloudy autumn day, for example.The risk of side effects in the form of hyperpigmentation is much lower.In addition, during the winter, sweat decreases, and this in turn reduces the risk of developing an inflammatory reaction.
It is important to know: not all lasers used for rejuvenation (rejuvenation) of the skin of the face or body are equally effective: some types of devices do not have a high selective ability.For this reason, it is impossible, for example, to selectively grind or freeze a blood vessel without damaging the surrounding tissue when part of the energy is projected onto it in the form of heat and burns.It is also difficult to achieve an effective effect on a deep vessel.Such complications will not arise if devices of the latest model are used, operating at wavelengths that are optimal for selective exposure.They provide the ideal combination of parameters required for effective skin rejuvenation: power, wavelength, pulse duration, beam diameter, color spectrum.
After laser skin rejuvenation, recovery time is required, which varies depending on the depth of resurfacing (peeling).Therefore, having decided on this procedure, it is better to take a vacation to "sit" in the four walls for some time.
One of the unpleasant drawbacks is the short period of results after acne treatment: scars return after a few years - the so-called skin memory is triggered, therefore the gold standard to solve this problem today is still a more invasive procedure - puncture (excision).
To avoid complications and get the expected results, you need to take a constructive approach to the problem of laser skin rejuvenation - undergo diagnostics, identify the cause of defects, choose home care cosmetics, including for the recovery period after the procedure.As for possible complications and side effects, they are mainly associated with insufficient care after laser rejuvenation (reduction or exfoliation).
Side effects and complications
After fractional laser rejuvenation, a relatively large area of skin is damaged to a considerable depth.Naturally, after the procedure there is constant swelling (lasting several days), inflammation, and blood.Deep damage to the surface of the skin is fraught with the development of infection and problems with healing, and therefore requires careful attention: the doctor carefully selects medical cosmetics for the recovery period, explains the application regimen and carefully monitors the entire recovery period.
