Modern technique in cosmetology - laser facial rejuvenation, 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 you to gently and safely act on the epidermis.
Before starting anti-aging recovery sessions, it is important to familiarize yourself with the list of indications and contraindications, as well as learn about the nuances of the technology and methods of exposure.
The essence of fractional technology
Laser facial rejuvenation is based on fractional technology, its essence consists in non-surgical restoration of turgor, elasticity, general recovery and activation of synthesis.
The action on the epidermis and the inner layers of the skin is due to the work of laser beams passing through the separating fractional grid. It is able to divide the beam into several thinnest micro-beams, resulting in a point effect on the condition of the tissues.
Topically applied action does not damage adjacent areas of the skin. The micro-wounds left by the laser create heat shock stress for the cells.
They begin active division, there is an accelerated 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, this leads to visible tissue prolapse, the appearance of wrinkles, sagging, ptosis.
Fractional technology provides immediate stimulation of all physiological processes occurring in the deep layers of the epidermis. Microdamages begin to heal actively, which leads to a natural reduction of the epidermal lid, provides a powerful lift in combination with accelerated wound healing.
Fractional action contributes to the creation of a newly formed subcutaneous collagen framework, accelerated synthesis of cells and substances, activation of physiological microprocesses. In the complex, a similar action with a laser beam passed through a fractional grid leads to natural rejuvenation, the pores are narrowed, the healthy complexion returns and the relief is smoothed.
At what age is the procedure indicated
The laser rejuvenation procedure is effective and safe, but experts say there are relative age limits for its application.
Fractional technology is not recommended for use until the age of 17, as 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 this period all the recovery processes in the body are slowed down.
The optimal age to start procedures is after 25-30 years, when the first signs of skin aging appear. The intensity of the course and the regularity of the sessions are calculated by the cosmetologist according to the indications, based on the individual characteristics.
Indications for laser rejuvenation procedure
Laser facial rejuvenation is a safe fractional technology that is a powerful stimulant to activate internal processes.
The procedures are performed according to the following indications:
- Turbid complexion, hyperpigmentation.
- The presence of age-related changes, deep wrinkles in the eye area, nasolabial folds.
- Dark circles and bags under the eyes.
- Tendency to demodicosis, dilated vessels.
- Negative changes in the structure of the epidermis.
- Significant relief, presence of scars and scars on the skin.
- Loss of clarity of lines, swollen oval on the face.
- Prone to acne breakouts, acne scars and post-acne enlarged pores.
Contraindications
Despite the general beneficial effect of the laser on the epidermis, a number of contraindications should be known before the sessions with laser therapy.
Partial rejuvenation is not recommended:
- with a tendency to keloid scars;
- during pregnancy and lactation;
- in case of exacerbation of herpes infection;
- for cancer;
- the presence of severe chronic diseases in the acute stage;
- dermatosis in the treatment areas;
- with immune deficiency;
- skin infections, focal rashes, skin diseases (psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis);
- epilepsy, autoimmune disorders.
The use of a laser beam after chemical peeling is not recommended; a period of at least 2 weeks must elapse. Before starting the procedure, the patient should consult a doctor to rule out contraindications that may lead to adverse effects.
Benefits
Laser fractionation technology has many advantages over cosmetic analogue procedures:
- The laser beams, passing through the fractional grating, act directly without damaging the adjacent areas of the epidermis.
- No scars, burns or other serious marks remain on the skin after laser exposure.
- Rehabilitation after procedures does not take more than 3-4 days, proceeds mostly without complications.
- Laser technology is effective because a specialist can treat a large part of the skin in 1 session. The result is noticeable a few days after 1 session.
- The procedure is non-invasive, safe, no risk of infection. The laser beam works non-contact on the surface, but the heat radiation penetrates deep into the tissue.
Laser rejuvenation is a painless technology, during the sessions patients may feel a slight tingling sensation without significant discomfort.
One of the main advantages of the method is its flexibility, as the most delicate and vulnerable to painful areas can be subjected to fractional treatment - the area around the eyes, décolleté, cervical area. The method can be applied to any skin type, regardless of the color and texture characteristics.
Clear Brilliant Grinding Feature
Laser facial rejuvenation is a hardware method performed by certified specialists in a clinic. The innovative Clear Brilliant fractional device belongs to the new generation of equipment.
This is a highly sensitive tool that allows you to control the intensity and depth of exposure to laser microbeams, making the device one of the safest. The directed action of the scattered beam of light penetrates to the required depth, does not injure adjacent areas, does not cause swelling, redness.
The principle of operation consists in focusing the beam with a built-in manipulator and penetrating to a depth of no more than 0. 4 mm. The diameter of the beam is regulated by a built-in optimization system, it is equipped with a uniform distribution system in motion.
The laser can be used for deep or surface grinding. The wavelength is adjusted in the range 1440-1997 Nm, depending on the chosen exposure method.
Thermal microtrauma occurs to activate internal recovery and microcirculation processes in the treatment areas. The laser acts delicately on the cortical layer, 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 procedures, a short recovery period, as well as the speed of processing large areas of the epidermis in one procedure.
Due to its wide range of applications, the laser can be used not only to rejuvenate the face, but also in complex programs to restore the elasticity of the skin of the mammary glands, the inner surface of the hands and thighs.
The principle of operation of this laser is identical to that of other non-labile fractional devices, but is realized with maximum safety. The most effective method of laser treatment using professional beauticians.
Sessions are a synthesis of laser exposure and delivery of biologically active components to eliminate age-related problems, to restore skin elasticity and youth.Is it possible to remove pigmentation
Modern laser technologies in cosmetology are actively used to eliminate hyperpigmentation. Intensely colored areas appear unaesthetic, may be the result of age-related changes or individual characteristics of melanin production in the skin.
The essence of the procedure for removing age spots by fractional method consists in a local effect on the lower layers of the skin, but without violating the integrity of the subcutaneous layers.
The fractional laser beam inhibits melanin, which is responsible for the appearance 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 remove:
- freckles;
- "sunspots";
- age-related hyperpigmentation;
- melasma;
- pigmented changes after trauma;
- epidermal moles.
The result is the destruction of melanin in the treated area, cell renewal with normalization of the accumulation of healthy pigment. As a result, the pigmentation gradually peels off along with the stratum corneum of the epidermis.
How the procedure works
Laser facial rejuvenation is an effective complex procedure that is 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 stop taking antibiotics, sulfonamides and anticoagulants.
Standard session algorithm:
- a consultation is conducted, the condition of the skin is assessed, a medical questionnaire is filled in, except for possible contraindications.
- Sites are degreased with a special alcohol-free compound before laser treatment.
- The organs of vision must be protected with special goggles to avoid injury to the mucous membranes of the eyes.
- Using the fractional nozzle, the doctor makes 2-3 passes through the treatment areas. The laser heats the areas, the duration of the pulse, the depth of penetration of the beam is regulated by the cosmetologist.
- After the session, a special soothing composition is applied to the skin, as well as a regenerating mask that promotes the healing of micro-wounds.
The specialist may recommend the use of an anesthetic ointment to relieve pain in the most sensitive areas.
Patients may experience a slight tingling sensation during the procedure.
Recovery after laser grinding
The skin after laser restoration needs careful care, as the internal regenerative processes are activated. After laser therapy, the skin is most sensitive to the sun, so before going outside, you should apply a protective cream with a factor of at least SPF 35.
The post-procedure period includes the following activities:
- It is not recommended to visit the solarium or sunbathe for 2 weeks.
- Avoid thermal treatments, baths and saunas, as well as the pool, as the skin becomes more sensitive. It is recommended to take a warm shower instead of a hot bath for 3 days.
- It is strictly forbidden to perform chemical peeling, deep rubbing, so as not to damage the epidermis.
- Ensure maximum hydration, apply creams and masks based on hyaluronate.
- Instead of washing, wipe the laser-treated areas with antiseptics.
- Avoid applying alcohol-based products to treated areas that can cause dryness and irritation.
After laser exposure, the skin may become slightly red, then begin to peel off. The barks cannot be removed; this can disrupt the structure of the epidermis. Moisturizing ointment will help soften the skin.
The application of decorative cosmetics is permissible for 2 days after the session, but you must choose products with the most natural and light composition. Proper care promotes rapid recovery, eliminates the development of negative side effects. For complete recovery, the beautician may recommend taking vitamins, washing with boiled ozonated water.
