laser skin rejuvenation

Laser skin rejuvenation using fractional laser (erbium laser Er:YAG) is the newest method today and is widely used in cosmetic surgery.The laser acts on the skin, causing many micro-damages on the surface.The cells surrounding these damaged areas undergo heat shock and begin the process of division and restoration of the microdamaged area (the same technique used to remove stretch marks).After some time, the damaged areas tighten, the skin becomes smooth, and all skin irregularities (wrinkles, stretch marks, small scars) disappear.The procedure produces a skin tightening effect (lifting) and shows very good skin smoothing results even after a single procedure.

The efficacy of laser skin rejuvenation

The repair process of the damaged area begins immediately after surgery.Recovery of the epidermis takes anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the diameter of the microlesion.Erbium lasers create microdomains whose diameter, even at maximum power, does not exceed 200 microns.This minimizes the risk of complications and shortens the recovery period.

The laser rejuvenation procedure itself involves using a laser beam to create tiny cylindrical holes in the skin.The depth and diameter depend on the power of the laser beam and are controlled by the doctor throughout the procedure.

Skin treated with fractional laser heals quickly.The micro-dimples heal and tighten, and newly formed collagen fibers tighten the skin.Significant improvement can be seen within two weeks of surgery.In addition, this treatment increases skin tone, smoothes the skin's surface, makes wrinkles disappear, texture becomes more even, and existing stretch marks and scars become less noticeable.

Types of laser skin rejuvenation

Laser rejuvenation is a general term and is divided into several types.Each program has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.

1. Fractional ablation facial rejuvenation.Common areas of cosmetic operations.Thanks to its implementation, small single defects can be eliminated.In order to eliminate them quickly and permanently, they must be limited - the combination of multiple skin imperfections into a single one complicates the task of the cosmetologist and requires one session (on average, up to 5-7 sessions).Cell renewal in different areas of the face requires different rates.In some areas, the integrity of the tissue can be compromised, while in other parts of the face, the tissue can remain healthy.In order to treat only the problem areas, the beautician will use a special spot carbon dioxide laser.Due to the tightening of the skin surface, a good lifting effect is achieved.By reshaping the skin, acne scars disappear.The disadvantages of this method are that there is an increased risk of infection due to skin damage, and the recovery period is quite long - up to 5 days.
2. non-ablative rejuvenation.This procedure is indicated for severe skin problems – rashes, scars, and skin damage caused by chemicals.In this case, the entire surface of the face is covered immediately.Use the Erbium Cosmetic Laser.Laser beams do not damage the epidermis; they pass through it and precisely heat the collagen deep within the skin, causing it to tighten and thicken.The advantages of this method are: short recovery time, preservation of the integrity of the epidermis, and elimination of the possibility of infection and inflammation.

3. laser skin resurfacing– This is the simplest and gentlest effect that can be achieved even at home using special equipment.Using sapphire and erbium lasers.Facial skin is slightly tightened, contours are improved, and fine lines, crow's feet, or acne disappear.
4. laser bioregenerationis a new non-surgical technique that helps eliminate deep scars and wrinkles without the use of a scalpel.This is done with short pulses that remove the top layer of epidermis.This stimulates cell division and renewal of skin layers.Collagen production increases.It uses a special type of laser - low-intensity infrared, also known as a cold laser.Before laser irradiation, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid is applied to the desired area of the skin. After the laser opens the transmission channel, it enters the deep tissue and is evenly distributed there.Because of this, this non-surgical rejuvenation method has received many positive reviews.

Although carbon dioxide lasers are more aggressive than other types of laser, they provide the most visible skin-lifting and rejuvenating results.The ability to work along the skin's tension lines allows you to achieve good tightening results even in patients over 55 years old.Today, this is how blepharoplasty is performed - tightening the skin around the eyes on the face.

Characteristics of laser rejuvenation of skin around the eyes.The area around the eyes is most susceptible to wrinkles, eye bags, crow's feet, and sagging.The slightest imperfections in this part of the face are immediately noticeable: they have a negative impact on the overall appearance.The skin here is thin and fragile, so the use of aggressive substances and methods to treat it is strictly prohibited.

some time after surgery

Most clients underestimate the importance of laser facial rejuvenation.They mistakenly believe that the final result depends only on the skill of the doctor.But in reality, procedures performed in an esthetician's office require follow-up care.If done correctly, the results will last a long time.After the operation, the beautician warned against the following actions in the near future:

• Apply water or steam to the body - go to a swimming pool, sauna, hammam;
• Expose your skin to UV radiation – sunbathe in a solarium on the beach;
• Undergo radical cosmetic surgery—peeling, microdermabrasion;
• Taking antibiotics and hormonal drugs;
• Perform activities that help speed up blood circulation and its flow to the face - massage, physical exercise.

It is recommended not to go outdoors.The skin being treated is very sensitive: environmental influences can adversely affect the skin condition.The first use of decorative cosmetics is also a no-no.This especially applies to the issue of using tinted products.Patients need to apply special medications to their skin.It is necessary to distribute the drug on the skin until the red spots on the face are completely eliminated - this irritation is typical of the related surgery.Once skin color returns to normal, a cream containing hyaluronic acid will aid in the skin's overall recovery.Any compression, especially alcohol compression, is strictly prohibited!If scabs have formed on the treatment area, do not remove or comb them off.Violations of integrity increase the risk of bacterial infection.
