Laser facial rejuvenation brings very natural and long-lasting results. This is a great alternative to surgical procedures.
Thanks to the stimulation of collagen in the skin, it activates natural regeneration processes and contributes to a visible improvement in skin condition. What you need to know about laser facial rejuvenation?
When should you use laser to remove wrinkles?
Almost any anti-aging procedure can be performed with a laser. Modern anti-wrinkle lasers are characterized by many different applications, often in a single device:
- is the antidote for wrinkles,
- strengthens and firms the skin,
- remove discoloration,
- close capillaries
- remove acne scars.
Experts know everything about laser facial rejuvenation. This is a procedure that can be used 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 young skin in order to slow down the aging process. However, most people over 30 years old decide to undergo laser skin rejuvenation when wrinkles, discoloration, and telangiectasias appear more clearly on their faces.
What is laser facial rejuvenation?
Laser facial rejuvenation is an aesthetic medical procedure performed by a doctor. The specialist performs a series of laser "shots" on areas of the face that need intensive reconstruction. The energy targets imperfections very precisely and mobilizes the skin to begin its regenerative activities.
The laser emits a beam of light of a specific wavelength, which affects specific chromophores in the skin. Pigments are substances such as water, melanin (skin pigment) and hemoglobin (blood pigment). The individual substances absorb the laser energy, causing a photothermal (or photomechanical in the case of picosecond laser) effect and resulting in controlled damage to the treated tissue. This way you can get rid of wrinkles, discoloration or telangiectasias (called spider veins). Fractional laser when exposed to water will affect skin cells, stimulating collagen and elasticity production. Vascular laser captures hemoglobin and thus leads to blood vessel closure. On the other hand, lasers designed to remove age spots will react with melanin.
Is laser skin rejuvenation safe?
Provided that laser facial rejuvenation is performed by an experienced specialist, using professional equipment and at a specialist centre, you can be sure that the procedure will be safe and produce the desired results. wait. Depending on the equipment used, the procedure can be more or less painful. For people who are sensitive to pain, the doctor may use a local anesthetic with a numbing cream. Be prepared for the fact that irritation, redness and swelling may occur after the procedure. This is a normal skin reaction when exposed to laser rays. The treatment causes inflammation to be controlled, stimulating the skin to regenerate. The heat resulting from laser facial rejuvenation causes an influx of fibroblasts, i. e. cells that produce collagen fibers. Thanks to that, the skin is regenerated from the inside.
Since laser facial rejuvenation is based on stimulation of natural skin processes, you need to be prepared that the effect will not be visible immediately. First, you need multiple treatments to get visible results. Second, the laser-initiated collagen regeneration process lasts several weeks or even months. Therefore, to achieve optimal results, it is necessary to wait about 3 months after finishing laser treatment.
