You will look several years younger after completing the courses.

The essence and effect of the technique

Laser facial skin rejuvenation is a technique in which laser radiation acts on the skin. To do this, a laser source - a laser device - is used for a device that allows the depth of penetration of the laser beam into the skin, the adjustment of the exposure time and the radiation temperature.

The correct choice of the parameters of the procedure is the most important condition for successful rejuvenation, as burns can appear on the face with the slightest mistake of the beautician.

Upon penetrating the tissue, the laser beam causes mild damage to the cells, in response to the irritation that occurs, the cells begin to actively produce collagen and elastin, and new cells continue to proliferate.

Stimulation of the regeneration processes leads to the complete renewal and renewal of the facial skin. The second name of the procedure is laser peeling.

Types of laser rejuvenation

Depending on the depth of laser penetration, there are several types of laser rejuvenation:

1. Laser renovation. . . The laser "works" in the surface layer of the epidermis, peeling off dead cells. The result of the procedure becomes noticeable after a week: the skin becomes velvety to the touch, the fine wrinkles disappear. The process uses three types of laser beams: erbium, carbon, or neodymium.
2. Laser biorevitalization. . . The radiation penetrates the deep layers of the skin while some cells are killed. The technique is tougher than laser renovation, but provides a strong anti-aging effect. To enhance the effect of the laser, apply a mixture of cosmetic nutrients to the skin. After the procedure, the deep wrinkles disappear and the contour of the face improves. Recovery after biorevitalization occurs within three months, during which time edema and severe exfoliation of the epidermis may persist.
3. Fragmented peeling. . . Fractional laser rejuvenation is the most effective and gentle method. The peculiarity of the method lies in the fact that the laser beam is divided into many microwaves, as a result of which it has a softer effect on the skin. The radiation reaches the skin in the form of a mesh, so intact cells remain among the foci of cell damage - contributing to faster tissue regeneration and a stronger rejuvenating effect. The strength of the beam can be varied during fractional peeling with a carbon dioxide or erbium laser.

Stages of the procedure

You should see an appointment with a cosmetologist before performing the procedure. The doctor identifies the problems that exist, asks the patient if there are any contraindications to the procedure, and talks about how laser rejuvenation will take place.

If the patient’s skin is prone to increased pigmentation, a whitening cream is prescribed a few days before the rejuvenation session. The patient should be aware that they should not exercise, drink hard, or drink alcohol before the procedure.

1. The face is cleansed with the help of traditional cosmetics.
2. An anesthetic cream is applied to the skin.
3. After a few minutes, the anesthetic is washed and a gel is applied to facilitate sliding of the nozzle of the fractionated device. Glasses are placed on the patient's eyes.
4. The doctor moves the nozzle over the face, laser-influencing each area in sequence.
5. The treatment lasts 15-60 minutes, after which a soothing cream is applied to the skin.

In total, you have to go through 3-4 procedures, with a break between them of 1-2 months.
