Laser facial rejuvenation gives a very natural and permanent effect. It is an excellent alternative to surgical procedures.
Thanks to the stimulation of collagen in the skin, it triggers natural regenerative processes and contributes to a visible improvement in the condition of the skin. What you need to know about laser facial rejuvenation?
When should laser be used for wrinkles?
Almost any anti-aging procedures can be performed with the help of laser. Modern anti-wrinkle lasers often feature multiple applications in one device:
- is an anti-wrinkle agent,
- firming and firming of the skin,
- discoloration,
- close the capillaries
- remove acne scars.
Professionals know all about laser facial rejuvenation. This procedure can be used at almost any age. Depending on the device and its parameters, visible signs of skin aging can be treated or treatments that promote youthful skin can be provided to slow down the aging process. But more often than not, people over 30 years of age decide to undergo laser resurfacing when they have visible wrinkles, discoloration, and dilated capillaries.
What is laser facial rejuvenation?
Laser facial rejuvenation is an aesthetic medicine procedure performed by a physician. The specialist performs a series of laser "shots" aimed at areas of the face that require intensive regeneration. The energy targets very specific imperfections and mobilizes the skin to initiate regenerative action.
The laser emits a beam of light of a specific wavelength that affects specific chromophores in the skin. Chromophores are substances such as water, melanin (skin pigment) and hemoglobin (blood pigment). The individual substances absorb the laser energy, which produces a photothermal effect (or photomechanical in the case of picosecond lasers) and leads to controlled destruction of the treated tissue. In this way, you can eliminate wrinkles, discoloration or dilated capillaries (called spider veins). Fractional lasers, in contact with water, affect skin cells and stimulate their production of collagen and elastin. Vascular lasers trap hemoglobin, thereby causing blood vessel occlusion. On the other hand, lasers designed to remove age spots react with melanin.
Is laser resurfacing safe?
If laser rejuvenation of the face is performed by an experienced specialist, using professional equipment and in a specialized center, you can be sure that the procedure will bring safe and expected results. Depending on the device used, the procedure may be more or less painful. For people who are sensitive to pain, the doctor may use an anti-anesthetic cream. Be prepared for irritation, redness and swelling after the procedure. This is a normal reaction of the skin to laser exposure. The treatment stimulates skin regeneration, causing controlled inflammation. The temperature caused by laser facial rejuvenation induces the influx of fibroblasts, p. a. cells that produce collagen fibers. Thanks to this, the skin regenerates from the inside.
Since laser facial rejuvenation is based on stimulating natural processes in the skin, you should be prepared that the effects will not be visible immediately. First, it takes several treatments to get noticeable results. Second, laser collagen resurfacing can take weeks or even months. Therefore, to obtain optimal results, it is necessary to wait approximately 3 months after the completion of laser therapy.
