Non-ablative photorejuvenation is a modern cosmetic technology that improves the appearance and condition of the skin.
The medical effect of a laser can be ablative, based on the destruction of the superficial layers of the skin, or non-ablative, in which warmth is achieved and, possibly, the intended destruction of deeper tissues without damaging the superficial layers. The classic methods of laser cosmetology are ablative technologies - skin reappearance, scar tissue 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 light beam ("extended") - hence the word "photo" softens small and medium wrinkles, improves the face, restores the elasticity and softness of the skin; skin aging stops.
Photoregeneration mechanism
With non-ablative photoregion, 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 ray does not interact with it. In the deeper layers of the dermis, which are the target (penetration) of penetration, under the influence of a ray of light, a large number of new collagen molecules are produced - a protein that forms the basis of connective tissue and is responsible for strengthand elasticity. The laser pulse energy is heated in 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 more effective in correcting the first signs of skin aging (from 30-35 years). This is due to the fact that the effect of the laser turns on the reactive forces of the organism itself and age reduces their activity.
