Non-ablative rejuvenation is a modern cosmetic technology that improves the appearance and condition of the skin.
The medical effect of the laser can be ablative, based on the destruction of the surface layers of the skin, or non-ablative, which achieves heating and possibly targeted destruction of deeper tissues without damaging the surface layers. Classic methods of laser cosmetology are ablative technologies - skin restoration, scar removal. However, modern lasers can stimulate positive changes in the skin without significant damage. Such influences are actively used to achieve an effect called photorejuvenation. Under the influence of a specially created ("improved") light beam - hence the word "photo" smoothes small and medium wrinkles, improves the complexion, restores the elasticity and smoothness of the skin; skin aging stops.
Photorejuvenation mechanism
With non-abrasive photorejuvenation, the micro beam penetrates the tissues to the required depth (up to 3 mm). Passing through the epidermis (the surface layer of the skin), the beam does not interact with it. In the deeper layers of the dermis, which are the target (s) of penetration, under the influence of light rays produce a large number of young molecules of collagen - a protein that is the basis of connective tissue and is responsible for its strength and elasticity. The energy of the laser pulse heats all layers of the skin, contributing to the improvement of microcirculation.
The best result is achieved in young and middle-aged people, ie the method is most effective for correcting the first signs of skin aging (30-35 years). This is due to the fact that the effect of the laser converts the reactive forces of the body itself, and age reduces their activity.
Indications for laser skin rejuvenation

Efficiency of the method
