The laser beam has been a real breakthrough in cosmetology. In 75% of cases of skin defects, injections and surgeries have replaced them.
Laser treatment not only successfully removes scars and blemishes, but also eliminates the signs of aging.
What is this
Laser rejuvenation is performed by a special device.
The beam moves along the body in the form of a special "thread". The impulses penetrate the skin layers to a depth of 1 mm. Under the influence of high frequencies and heat, old cells are destroyed. Solid tissues begin to react with the release of increased amounts of elastin and collagen, which repair damaged skin. Renewed skin becomes firmer and more elastic. The optimum temperature for each area of skin is selected to prevent burns.
In this case, the treatment is applied not only to the face, but also to other parts of the body. The thighs, abdomen, chest, forearms, and hands are no less damaged by age.
As a result of the correct procedure, the effects are noted:
- smoothing visible deep wrinkles;
- small facial wrinkles disappear;
- hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, acne, vascular network and discoloration of wounds;
- narrowing of enlarged pores;
- smooth the surface of the dermis;
- Appearance of healthy skin by stimulating blood circulation;
- strengthen the contours of the face and body.
Significant progress is visible after the first session. Consolidating successful rejuvenation allows for 5 treatments for the problem area.
Types of laser rejuvenation
There are several variations of this procedure. Each has its own characteristics. Selecting an assortment for an individual problem will make the solution as productive as possible.
- By penetrating the upper layers of the skin. 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.
- Does not damage the surface of the skin.Perfectly shows with deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sagging contours. A large area of skin is treated at once (for example, the whole face). The longest beams are used. Only the hidden layers of the dermis are affected, the surface remains intact. Heat stimulates natural metabolic processes in cells. A nice side effect is the removal of large pores after acne.
- Biorevitalization.Strokes are repeated many times for a short time. Thus, the rays painlessly break down dead cells and activate collagen production. Special cosmetics (usually hyaluronic acid) are used, the laser penetrates the skin. The method is used to combat deep wrinkles, persistent lines of expression. Has a cumulative effect. Biorevitalization is one of the best alternatives to injections.
- Resurfacing.Erbium or sapphire laser gently removes the top layers of old epidermis. Younger tissues remain, which makes the skin stronger and makes fine wrinkles invisible.
- 4D rejuvenation.The fastest look. The long-term result is visible after the first procedure. 4 types of beams are used (FRAC3, SmothLiftin, SupErficial, PIANO). Such a combination improves deep processes, gives elasticity and freshness to the skin, fights wrinkles of various sizes.
