Laser facial rejuvenation gives a very natural and permanent effect. This is an excellent alternative to surgical procedures.
Thanks to the stimulation of collagen in the skin, it triggers natural regeneration processes and contributes to a visible improvement in skin condition. What is worth knowing about laser facial rejuvenation?
When should you use laser for wrinkles?
Almost any anti-aging procedure can be performed using laser. Modern anti-wrinkle lasers are characterized by several applications, often in a single device:
- It is an antidote against wrinkles
- strengthen and tighten the skin,
- eliminate discoloration,
- close capillaries
- eliminate acne scars.
Experts know all about laser facial rejuvenation. This is a procedure that can be performed at almost any age. Depending on the device and its parameters, it is possible to treat visible signs of skin aging or provide treatments that strengthen the condition of youthful skin in order to slow down the aging process. However, most often people over the age of 30 decide to undergo laser skin rejuvenation when more pronounced wrinkles, discoloration and dilated capillaries appear on their face.
What is laser facial rejuvenation?
Laser facial rejuvenation is an aesthetic medicine procedure performed by a doctor. The specialist performs a series of laser "shots" aimed at areas of the face that require intense regeneration. The energy targets imperfections very precisely and activates the skin to begin regenerative actions.
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). Individual substances absorb laser energy, causing a photothermal effect (or photomechanical effect in the case of picosecond lasers) and leading to controlled damage to the treated tissue. This way you can eliminate wrinkles, discoloration or dilated capillaries (so-called spider veins). When fractional lasers come into contact with water, they affect skin cells and stimulate their collagen and elastin production. Vascular lasers capture hemoglobin, causing the blood vessel to close. On the other hand, lasers designed to remove age spots react with melanin.
Is laser rejuvenation safe?
If laser facial rejuvenation is performed by an experienced specialist, using professional equipment and in a specialized center, you can be sure that the procedure will be safe and give the 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 perform local anesthesia using a numbing cream. Be prepared that irritation, redness and swelling may occur after the procedure. This is a normal skin reaction to laser exposure. The treatment causes controlled inflammation that stimulates skin regeneration. The warmth caused by laser facial rejuvenation causes an influx of fibroblasts; Cells that produce collagen fibers. In this way, the skin is renewed from the inside.
Since laser facial rejuvenation is based on stimulation of natural processes in the skin, you need to be prepared for the fact that the effects will not be visible immediately. First, you need more than one treatment to get visible results. Second, laser-initiated collagen reconstruction takes several weeks or even months. Therefore, to achieve the best results, it is necessary to wait approximately 3 months after the end of laser treatment.
