Laser facial rejuvenation

No woman wants to grow old, so she strives with all her might to prolong her youth and get rid of age-related changes. You can get rid of them with cosmetics. Of course, such cosmetics are very expensive, but beauty requires sacrifice. Moreover, cosmetic products do not always help to eliminate all the ailments that the fairer sex of different ages have.

Also, a representative of the weaker sex can carry out a special cosmetic operation for herself, which will help her get rid of all the shortcomings.

What is laser facial rejuvenation

This is a correction that requires a careful and responsible approach.

With this procedure, the fairer sex can:

• get rid of age spots, wrinkles;
• correct sagging areas.

In addition, when using laser facial rejuvenation, the patient can:

• reduce pore size;
• make the skin of the face more uniform and give it a more natural color;
• get rid of age-related changes;
• eliminate vascular networks;
• get rid of age spots;
• make the skin softer without using practically any cosmetics;
• make the skin smoother, the skin of the face healthier, give it a healthy shade;
• to rid the fairer sex of spider veins;
• enhance the body's production of collagen, elastin, which affect the elasticity of the skin.

The procedure is performed for women over 30 and under 50. The laser beam has the same effect on the tissues of any woman. But whether it is possible or not to carry out this effect for a particular patient, only the doctor will say.

The laser facial skin rejuvenation procedure has positive and negative qualities.

For example, the procedure:

• Does not leave behind any scars or other unpleasant marks. This is due to the fact that the laser beam has a point effect on the problem area. After 3-4 days, all unpleasant symptoms will go away on their own.
• Helps to deal with problems affecting most of the skin. It also makes the skin more aesthetically pleasing.
• Does not cause any painful sensations in the patient. During exposure, a representative of the weaker sex may feel a slight tingling sensation, but in this case it is not necessary to use anesthetics.
• Helps to rejuvenate the area where the patient most often experiences severe pain. The procedure is performed on the neck, décolleté, skin around the eyes, i. e. in places where other cosmetic procedures cannot be carried out.

In addition to the positive, this procedure also has negative qualities.

For example, here's the procedure:

• It has a much lower effect compared to conventional surgery. Usually the effect lasts 5 years, and then the patient will have to do the procedure again.
• Will not help get rid of deep wrinkles.
• It has a very high cost. If the patient knows that she cannot cope with all the shortcomings in 1 procedure, then she will have to save up a tidy sum of money for a second procedure.

Causes and indications

Facial rejuvenation is a useful procedure, but it cannot be performed by all women.

For example, it is carried out if a woman has:

• wrinkles. Moreover, the procedure helps to get rid of both deep and not deep wrinkles;
• the first age-related changes in the skin;
• decreased skin tone;
• heterogeneous complexion;
• many moles, warts;
• many vascular patterns localized on the surface of the face;
• Dark spots.

And also the procedure helps to narrow enlarged pores, get rid of blackheads and acne.

Types, methods and principles of laser rejuvenation surgery

Conventionally, laser facial rejuvenation is divided by women into several main types.

Ladies can spend:

1. Fractional ablative rejuvenation. Such an operation is very common among citizens. It helps to get rid of small defects. Moreover, the specialist has a point effect on the problem area with a laser. If a woman has many different defects, then the procedure is carried out in a course. Usually the course includes 6-7 procedures. Moreover, the process of the formation of new cells depends on the zone in which the impact was carried out. In some women, the integrity of adjacent tissues also suffers during the procedure. And for some ladies, she does not suffer at all.
2. Laser biorevitalization. During the procedure, the physician effectively and quickly removes deep wrinkles, old scars, but does not perform a full-fledged surgical intervention for the fairer sex. At the same time, during the operation, the physician acts with short-term impulses on the upper layers of the epidermis. Thanks to this, cells divide faster, the process of collagen production by the body is activated, damaged skin is restored. The formed new fabrics look fresh, renewed, elastic, they have a completely new structure. During the procedure, a specialist applies a special preparation to the skin surface, which, using a laser beam, quickly penetrates into the deep layers of the epidermis. So the skin is moisturized, its condition improves.
3. Non-ablative rejuvenation. This procedure is significantly different from the effect in which the doctor uses conventional long laser beams. Such an effect not only helps to get rid of age-related changes, but also eliminates scars, acne, and age spots. Moreover, during the procedure, several shortcomings localized on the surface of the face are eliminated at once.
4. Laser resurfacing. This procedure is performed with a sapphire or erbium laser. The rays have a mild effect on the skin, help to give the skin a toned appearance and restore its former elasticity. The procedure helps to get rid of acne breakouts, to tighten the oval of the face.
5. Peeling. The procedure is carried out with a carbon dioxide or erbium laser. But when using a carbon dioxide laser, scars may appear in the fairer sex. The Erbium beam has a shallower insertion depth, but it only helps to get rid of dead areas localized on the surface of the skin. This procedure lasts 30 minutes. But you need to do at least 3 procedures and the interval between exposures should be at least 5 days.
6. DOT or dermal optical thermolysis. This is a completely new procedure that helps a woman to rejuvenate her skin. Moreover, such an effect helps to get rid of imperfections localized on the skin around the eyes. In this case, the beam is embedded at a shallow depth, therefore, all exposure is carried out using an erbium laser beam. It has a point effect on the problem area, so the procedure becomes less dangerous for humans. To achieve the desired effect, it is enough to do only 1 session.
7. Fractional photorejuvenation. This is a laser procedure that helps to get rid of old skin particles. This effect helps to improve the elasticity, tone of the skin, makes it fresher, and the person's face rested. All the necessary parameters for the device are selected first by the doctor on the computer. Thanks to this, this operation is considered safe. After such a procedure, the skin becomes smoother, the surface of the face is smoothed, acquires all the properties inherent in new and renewed skin.

The first age-related changes appear precisely on the skin around the eyes. It is here that the first wrinkles, bags form in the fairer sex, the skin sags. These signs make a woman older, but the lady cannot carry out hardware cosmetic procedures.

Currently, it is fractional photorejuvenation that is in special demand among citizens, becausethis is a simple and safe method of correction, after which complications almost never appear in patients.

After this procedure:

• reduced pore size;
• the skin becomes more uniform and acquires a natural color;
• the fairer sex may no longer see the first signs of aging on her face;
• the vascular network is completely eliminated;
• almost no age spots are visible;
• the skin becomes softer. Moreover, no additional cosmetic products are required.

In addition, laser facial rejuvenation is performed with different lasers.

Laser used:

• Carbon dioxide CO2. This is the most accessible type of treatment, which has a very good intensity. After such exposure, the skin looks smooth, elastic. In addition, such a laser helps to get rid of moles, warts, and fine wrinkles. Also, the laser helps to get rid of the initial stage of cancer.
• Erbium. It is less intense, but very accurate. It is much better than carbon dioxide and laser. After such an effect, the patient does not have age spots. Such a laser helps to get rid of wrinkles located on the skin near the eyes, and it also helps to eliminate fine wrinkles.
• Diode. This is the most famous cosmetic laser. It warms up the deep layers of the skin, activates the process of collagen and elastin production by the body.
• Fraxel. A gas laser is used here. It has a broad spectrum of action. Such a laser rejuvenates the cells of the face, accelerates the process of their regeneration.

In addition, during the procedure, the following is used:

• Vascular laser. It helps to get rid of spider veins and asterisks localized on the surface of the skin. A device with such a laser first cools the skin, so the risk of burns in a lady is minimized. Moreover, during the procedure, the doctor affects the problem area not with one, but with several rays at once. One is the target of the other. In this case, the hemoglobin heats up, the vessel is sealed, and disappears from the skin surface.
• Neodymium laser. This is a very powerful laser that penetrates the deep layers of the skin. Such a laser helps to get rid of scars, scars, spider veins.
