The laser beam has become a real breakthrough in the field of cosmetology. In 75% of cases of skin malformations, it was able to replace injections, surgery.
Laser treatments not only successfully remove scars and blemishes, but also eliminate signs of aging.
What is
Laser rejuvenation is carried out using a special device.
The ray moves along the body in a special "handle". The impulses penetrate the skin layers to a depth of 1 mm. Under the influence of high frequencies and heating, old cells are destroyed. The intact tissue begins to react with the release of increased amounts of elastin and collagen, which repair the damaged dermis. The renewed skin becomes denser, more elastic. The optimum temperature is selected for each area of the skin to prevent burns.
In this case, the treatment is carried out not only on the face, but also on other parts of the body. The thighs, abdomen, chest, forearms and hands do not suffer less from age-related wear and tear.
Following the correct procedure, the effects are marked:
- visible smoothing of deep wrinkles;
- small wrinkles on the face disappear;
- discoloration of hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, post-acne, vascular network and scars;
- narrowing of enlarged pores;
- level the surface of the dermis;
- the appearance of a healthy complexion by stimulating blood circulation;
- tightening the contours of the face and body.
Noticeable improvements are visible after the first session. To consolidate the successful rejuvenation allows a course of 5 treatments of the problem area.
Types of laser rejuvenation
There are several variations of this procedure. Each has its own characteristics. Selecting a variety for an individual problem will make the solution as productive as possible.
- With penetration into the upper layers of the skin.Works best with small pitted blemishes. A single surface beam is applied. Only the damaged area is exposed, healthy skin is not affected. The result is obtained quickly and lasts a long time. Works well on expression lines.
- No damage to the skin surface.Perfectly manifested by deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sagging contours. A large area of skin is treated at one time (for example, the whole face). The longest beams are used. Only the hidden layers of the dermis are affected, the surface remains intact. The heat stimulates the natural metabolic processes of the cells. A pleasant side effect is the removal of large pores after acne.
- Biorevitalization.Pulses are given for a short time with multiple repetitions. Thus, the rays painlessly break down dead cells and actively stimulate collagen production. Special cosmetics (usually hyaluronic acid) are used, which the laser delivers deep into the skin. The method is used in the fight against deep wrinkles, persistent expression lines. Has a cumulative effect. Biorevitalization is one of the best alternatives to injections.
- Resurfacing.Erbium or Sapphire laser gently removes top layers of obsolete epidermis. Younger tissue remains, making the skin firmer, more even, fine wrinkles become invisible.
- 4D rejuvenation.Fastest view. A lasting visible result appears already after the first procedure. 4 types of beams are used (FRAC3, SmothLiftin, SupErficial, PIANO). Such a combination improves deep processes, restores elasticity and freshness to the skin, resists wrinkles of various sizes.
