A modern technique in cosmetology - laser facial rejuvenation, which allows you to effectively fight 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 affect the epidermis.
Before you start 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, overall recovery and activation of synthesis.
The action on the epidermis and inner layers of the skin is performed due to the work of laser beams, passed through the fractional partition lattice. It is able to split the beam into several thinner micro-beams, as a result of which a point effect on the condition of the tissue is provided.
On-site action does not damage adjacent areas of skin. The micro-wounds left behind by the laser create a stressful heat shock condition for the cells.
They begin active division, accelerated synthesis of collagen-elastin fibers occurs, 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 a noticeable tissue prolapse, the appearance of wrinkles, numbness, ptosis.
Fractional technology provides immediate stimulation of all physiological processes occurring in the deeper layers of the epidermis. The micro-damages begin to heal actively, which leads to a natural reduction of the epidermis collision, provides powerful erection in combination with accelerated wound healing.
Fractional exposure contributes to the creation of a newly formed subcutaneous collagen framework, accelerated synthesis of cells and substances, activation of physiological microprocesses. In the complex, such an action by a laser beam passing through a fractional lattice leads to natural rejuvenation, pores narrow, a healthy complexion returns and relief is softened.
At what age is the procedure indicated
The laser renewal procedure is effective and safe, but, according to experts, there are relative age restrictions for its implementation.
Fractional technology is not recommended to be used until the age of 17, as at this age the formation of skin structures continues, there is a possibility of deep skin damage. Also, laser rejuvenation should not be used after 60 years, during this period all recovery processes in the body slow 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 the laser renewal procedure
Laser face rejuvenation is a safe fractional technology that is a powerful stimulant to activate internal processes.
Procedures are performed in accordance with the following indications:
- Dull complexion, hyperpigmentation.
- Presence of age-related changes, deep wrinkles in the eye area, nasolabial folds.
- Dark circles and bags under the eyes.
- Tendency to demodicosis, enlarged vessels.
- Negative changes in the structure of the epidermis.
- Strong relief, the presence of scars and marks on the skin.
- Loss of line clarity, swollen oval of face.
- A tendency for acne, acne scars and acne after acne, enlarged pores.
Cosmetologists recommend laser therapy to prevent aging, deep rejuvenation and restoration of skin structure.
Contraindications
Despite the overall beneficial effect of laser on the epidermis, a number of contraindications should be recognized before laser therapy sessions.
Fractional renewal is not recommended:
- with a tendency to keloid scarring;
- during pregnancy and lactation;
- in case of worsening herpes infection;
- for oncological diseases;
- presence of severe chronic diseases in the acute phase;
- dermatoses in treatment areas;
- with lack of immunity;
- skin infections, focal rashes, skin diseases (psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis);
- epilepsy, autoimmune disorders.
It is not recommended to use a laser beam after chemical peels; must pass a period of at least 2 weeks. Before starting the procedure, the patient should consult a doctor to rule out contraindications that may lead to negative consequences.
Benefits
Fractional laser technology has many advantages over analog cosmetic procedures:
- Laser rays, passing through the fractional lattice, act firmly, without damaging the adjacent areas of the epidermis.
- After laser exposure, no scars, burns or other serious marks remain on the skin.
- Rehabilitation after procedures does not last more than 3-4 days, mostly passes without complications.
- Laser technology is effective, as a specialist can treat a large area of skin in 1 session. The result is visible in a few days after 1 session.
- The procedure is non-invasive, safe, there is no risk of infection. The laser beam works non-contact on the surface, but the thermal radiation penetrates deep into the tissue.
Laser rejuvenation is a painless technology, during the sessions, patients can feel a tingling sensation without any significant discomfort.
One of the main advantages of the method is its versatility, as the most delicate and sensitive areas to the 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 color type and structure features.
Grinding feature with Clear Brilliant
Laser face rejuvenation is a hardware method performed by a certified specialist in a clinic. The innovative Clear Brilliant fractional device belongs to the new generation of devices.
This is a very sensitive instrument that allows you to control the intensity and depth of exposure to micro laser beams, which makes the device one of the safest. The directed action of the scattered beam of light penetrates to the required depth, does not damage neighboring areas, does not cause swelling, redness.
The principle of operation consists in concentrating the beam with an integrated manipulator and penetrating to a depth of no more than 0. 4 mm. The diameter of the beam is regulated by an integrated optimization system, it is equipped with a uniform moving distribution system.
Deep or superficial grinding can be performed with laser. The wavelength is adjustable in the range of 1440-1997 Nm, depending on the chosen exposure method.
Thermal microtrauma occurs in order to activate the internal recovery processes and microcirculation in the treatment areas. The laser acts delicately on the cortical layer, intensifying the natural processes of cell renewal and tissue regeneration.
Can be used on any phototype, including tanned or dark skin. One of the advantages of the device is the painless procedures, a short healing period, as well as the speed of processing large areas of the epidermis in one procedure.
Due to the wide range of applications, the laser can be used not only for facial rejuvenation, but also in complex programs to restore the elasticity of the skin of the mammary glands, the inner surface of the arms and thighs.
The principle of operation of this laser is identical to that of other non-ablative fractional devices, but implemented with maximum safety. The most effective method of laser treatment using professional cosmetics.
Sessions are a synthesis of laser exposure and distribution of biologically active ingredients in order to eliminate age-related problems, 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 look unaesthetic, they 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 with the fractional method consists of a local effect on the lower layers of the skin, but without compromising 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 eliminate pigmentation is determined by a cosmetologist after assessing the condition of the skin, the characteristics of the color type, as well as the severity of the color of the spots.
The laser can remove:
- feather;
- "sunspots";
- age-related hyperpigmentation;
- melasma;
- pigmented changes after trauma;
- epidermal markers.
The result is the destruction of melanin in the treated area, cell renewal by normalizing the accumulation of healthy pigment. As a result, the pigmentation gradually peels off along with the keratinized layer of the epidermis.
How the procedure is going
Laser facial rejuvenation is a complex effective procedure performed in a specialized salon or clinic.
Before starting the course, you should undergo minimal training: do not sunbathe 2 weeks before the procedure, do not wipe the area with products containing 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 performed, an assessment of the skin condition is made, a medical questionnaire is completed with the exception of possible contraindications.
- Cheeks degrade with a special non-alcoholic composition before laser treatment.
- Eyes should be protected with special goggles to avoid damage to the eye mucosa.
- Using the fractional mouthpiece, the doctor makes 2-3 passes through the treatment areas. The laser heats the areas, the pulse duration, the depth of penetration of the beam is adjusted by the cosmetologist.
- After the session, a special soothing composition is applied to the skin, as well as a regenerating mask that promotes healing of micro-wounds.
The specialist may recommend the use of an anesthetic oil to relieve pain in the most sensitive areas.
During the procedure, patients may experience a tingling sensation.
Laser Recurrence Recovery
Skin after laser reappearance requires careful care, as internal regenerative processes are activated. After laser therapy, the skin is more sensitive to the sun, so before you go out, you should apply a sunscreen with a factor of at least SPF 35.
The post-procedural period includes the following activities:
- It is not recommended to visit the sunroom 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.
- is strictly forbidden to perform dry peeling, deep cleansing, so as not to damage the epidermis.
- Provide maximum hydration, apply hyaluronic creams and masks.
- Instead of washing, wipe the laser-treated areas with antiseptic.
- Avoid applying alcohol-based products to treated areas that may cause dryness and irritation.
After laser exposure, the skin may experience slight redness, after which it begins to peel. Crusts can not be removed; this can disrupt the structure of the epidermis. A moisturizing ointment will help soften the skin.
Applying decorative cosmetics is allowed for 2 days after the session, but you should choose products with the most natural and light composition. Proper care promotes rapid recovery, eliminates the development of adverse side effects. For a comprehensive restoration, the cosmetologist may recommend taking vitamins, bathing with ozonated boiled water.
Recommended rate
