What is it?
Laser rejuvenation of a person is one of the most critical procedures in cosmetology, the essence of which is to completely eliminate pigmentation and wrinkles from the face. It is possible to achieve such a result thanks to laser equipment. It includes a huge number of options with which the cosmetologist controls the temperature and depth of the beam penetration.The most important part of the procedure is the correct selection of parameters.
That is why it is recommended to carefully choose specialists, because even the smallest mistake can lead to the fact that a woman will receive burns or other skin changes that cannot be turned.
During the choice of the optimal regime, the cosmetologist takes into account the individual characteristics of the body, skin type, its thickness and spectrum of processing.In addition, what kind of problem the patient is trying to solve is important. It should be noted that getting rid of wrinkles in one session will not work. To do this, you will have to undergo a whole course of laser rejuvenation of the face. Only under the condition of competent and correct selection of parameters can you achieve the desired results and not harm the body. Laser rays can boast of destructive effects due to their high temperature, due to which the cells of the cover completely burn out and tissue renewal occurs.
Laser rejuvenation is very popular thanks to a number of advantages, among which the following can be distinguished.
- In the process of processing and after it there will be no traces on the face. It is possible to achieve this result due to the point effect on skin defects. Already after 4 days, any signs of the fact that this procedure has recently been carried out completely disappeared.
- Laser rejuvenation allows you to treat a large area of the skin in a short period of time (1-2 sessions). The result can be seen after the first procedure.
- The procedure is almost no painful sensations. Even women with a small pain threshold will feel a small tingling tingling and that's it. In most cases, there is no need to use painkillers to carry out such manipulations.
- The ability to quickly return youth and attractiveness not only to the face, but also of the neckline and area around the eyes. These areas of the skin are most sensitive to pain.
Indications for use
It is worth noting that this technology must only resort to if other soft technologies could not cope with the problem and were not effective. The fact is that laser rejuvenation is a radical method of updating. The procedure is effective in tightening the eyelids and skin, in the elimination of wrinkles in the area of the nose and lips, changes in the outline of the face, getting rid of pigmentation and the consequences of demodecosis.
Contraindications
Any salon procedures have their own contraindications, and the processing of the skin with a laser is no exception. Otherwise, the negative effect of manipulation can cause serious harm to the body. Such procedures are prohibited from patients with the following characteristics of the body:
- with immunodeficiency, as a result of which they often suffer from infectious diseases;
- during pregnancy or breastfeeding;

In addition, the procedure should be abandoned in cases where retinoids have been taken over the past six months.There are also a number of certain diseases in which you can resort to laser rejuvenation of the face only after consulting with a specialist. In the presence of contraindications, it is better to first wait for a complete recovery, so that the body is maximum is ready for the influence of the laser. Despite the fact that the procedure itself is completely safe, in the presence of certain diseases, it is able to provoke their accelerated development.
If, due to the presence of contraindications, this rejuvenation method cannot be used, then one can give preference to others.
Varieties
Modern cosmetology centers offer their customers a huge selection of types of laser rejuvenation. They try to take into account not only the effectiveness of such manipulations, but also provide a choice of a certain variety, taking into account the depth of penetration and the degree of influence on the skin.The following types are distinguished depending on this criterion.
- Ablative rejuvenation.A distinctive feature of such a procedure is that the exposure to laser rays on the skin occurs. Thanks to this, it is possible to eliminate the skin microparticles, and the processed area heals more efficiently. The results from such rejuvenation can be seen after the first procedure.
- Non -resigned.The main difference between such a method is that it involves a deeper penetration of rays without affecting the outer layer of the skin. This process takes more time, but its effectiveness is an order of magnitude higher.
Professional cosmetologists advise to combine several types of laser rejuvenation in order to obtain a full and durable effect.
Laser biorevitalization is considered another rather popular species.The bottom line is that drugs based on hyaluronic acid and collagen are administered under the skin, after which the skin is exposed to low intensity rays. The main advantage of the methodology is that the tissues of the face are practically not heated: the temperature can increase by a maximum of 1 degree of Celsius. Thanks to this, the skin cells are not damaged and no pain occurs.
Laser rejuvenation of 4D is also very popular today.This technique is considered one of the most effective and productive. It includes 4 laser technologies, including innovative - obtaining access to deep skin layers through the oral mucosa.
Depending on the individual characteristics of the patient’s body and the type of problem, a procedure with a different level of exposure is carried out. The choice is carried out by a specialist, and the condition of the skin can improve in a matter of minutes.
After laser rejuvenation, the 4D contour of the face is pulled up, wrinkles are eliminated, and the tone improves. The skin gains a velvet structure and smoothness, and the pores narrow.
Among the main advantages of this procedure, the following can be distinguished:
- It is carried out once, and the effect lasts 1. 5 years;
- does not need the recovery period - immediately after the session you can sunbathe in the sun, visit the pool or sauna;
- Safety and efficiency-any side effects are excluded;
- 4D rejuvenation is carried out without anesthesia and preliminary preparation.
Among the contraindications to this type of rejuvenation, pregnancy, the use of retinoids and the presence of infectious diseases can be noted.
The process itself is carried out in 4 stages, in which a combination of several lasers is used. A certain level of exposure is set for each device, so the effect is increased several times. Initially, nasolabial folds and cheeks are subjected to laser influence, after which the manipula is inserted into the oral cavity. As a result, it is possible to smooth out the folds and carry out a tightening of the deep layers of the epidermis.
During the second stage, the restoration of the skin structure occurs, due to which its elasticity improves, tone and the wrinkles are eliminated.
In great demand today is also the technology of the Fraxel laser rejuvenation, which is one of the safest and most effective techniques in hardware cosmetology. It makes it possible to eliminate cosmetic defects in a short period of time. The procedure got its name because it is carried out on the basis of the Fraxel SR1500 advanced laser system. The apparatus is based on the principle of focal effects on certain areas of the skin.
Among the distinctive advantages of the Fraksel technology, the following can be noted:
- Significant skin improvement;
- renewal of covers at the cellular level due to regeneration;
- point effect on small areas of the skin;
- the ability to quickly eliminate age -related changes;
- the ability to process all areas, including the skin around the eyes;
- The procedure is so sparing that it can be carried out even on the thinnest skin;
- Maximum safety due to control over the intensity of the beam.
Among the indications for the use of "fraxel" - wilting the skin, melasm, wrinkles and stretch marks.
Another type of laser rejuvenation is a lifting, considered an excellent replacement for plastic surgery. The warming energy of the laser installation ensures the production of its own collagen, as a result of which the skin is tightened and wrinkles are smoothed. In addition, the procedure has a positive effect on the blood circulation and helps to improve complexion.
A distinctive feature of laser lifting is that it does not bring any pain and discomfort, and also does not require the patient a long recovery period.
Despite the fact that this procedure can be carried out on any area of the skin, it is often resorted to to improve the condition of the skin of the face or neckline.
Among the distinctive advantages of laser lifting against the background of other rejuvenation methods, the following can be distinguished:
- In the process of this procedure, the skin is not damaged;
- This rejuvenation technique can be carried out for any skin;
- advanced devices are used to control the wavelength;
- complete absence of side effects;
- The effect can be seen after the first procedure;
- It is carried out without the use of anesthesia.
Laser lifting is the most gentle and painless way of rejuvenation. Using this procedure allows you to look much younger, eliminate the sagging of the skin and return its tone. The technique is based on non-operational intervention, which makes it possible to get rid of most cosmetic defects in a few hours.
At home, such work is not carried out, as it requires professional skills and expensive equipment.
Preparation
One of the advantages of laser rejuvenation of the face is that the procedure does not require any preliminary preparation. Despite this, doctors advise excluding alcohol use a few days before, since its presence in the blood can adversely affect the patient's well -being when using anesthesia.
How is the procedure going?
The main advantage of this procedure is that it does not bring any pain and discomfort. This is another plus for people who are afraid of pain.
The course of laser rejuvenation can be divided into the following stages.
- Application of surface anesthesia, so that during the action of the laser the patient will not feel any pain. In the worst case, small tingling are possible. As anesthesia, the anesthetic is mainly used, which is applied before the start of the session.
- Carrying out rejuvenation using a special apparatus, the principle of operation of which is concentrated on a fractional laser. The duration of the session does not exceed one hour, although the exact time depends on the number of zones that will be processed.
- Application to the surface of the skin of the cream for accelerated recovery.
- Inspection and consultation of a specialist.
After the laser rejuvenation of the face, it will take at least a week in order for the skin to get a new look, and the traces will disappear already on 3-4 days. This is a fairly short period of time if you compare with surgical interventions.
Depending on the individual characteristics of the body in the first few days, edema or redness can remain on the face, but immediately with peeling of the skin, dead cells begin to leave.
Subsequent care
A distinctive feature of laser rejuvenation is that after such a cosmetological procedure there is no need for a rehabilitation period. The very next day you can use foundation and other cosmetics. In addition, you can sunbathe in the sun, visit a sauna or pool.
Possible complications
Due to the fact that over the past 10 years, laser technologies have improved significantly, possible complications are reduced to almost zero. One of the most common complications in the process of this procedure is the "gauze effect" and the appearance of foci of hyperpigmentation.
The essence of the "gauze effect" is that atrophic scars appear on the face.Usually this phenomenon can be seen when using CO2 laser, which provides for the penetration of a laser beam in the shape of a grid. It should be noted that such a problem arises solely due to the inexperience and unprofessionalism of the cosmetologist. If the specialist incorrectly determined the thickness of the skin and did not take into account all the characteristics of the body, then erroneous setting parameters can cause the "gauze effect". That is why the consultation of an experienced cosmetologist is a mandatory step before starting fractional improvement of the skin.
Other characteristic troubles of laser rejuvenation include the occurrence of bubbles with a liquid of various colors. After such bubbles, scars or areas with minimal pigmentation can be created. The appearance of hematomas, which are inevitable in cases where the vessels are damaged, is also likely.
