Modern technologies develop rapidly and introduce themselves with confidence in all spheres of life, including cosmetology.Laser rejuvenation today is a complete and dignified alternative to surgical elevators.It has a series of undeniable advantages compared to other methods, but also disadvantages.However, the most popular procedures should become better.
The principle of action
The laser beam, in fact, is a concentrated current of photons of light, whose intensity is easy to regulate.It can be used as a scalpel to cut the skin with precision and without blood.And this laser property has been used for a long time in plastic surgery.But the wavelength and radiation power can be adjusted in such a way that the desired depth penetrates and heats the cell only at the required temperature.According to this principle, professional devices are designed, used for rejuvenation of laser skin.
Ablation
Many have already heard that there are ablation laser techniques and not abroad.But most patients do not completely understand what ablation is and what is the difference in these procedures.Although, in fact, this knowledge will allow the right decision and avoid a strong disappointment in the results.Ablation in medical terminology is the process of evaporation of tissues under the influence of light radiation or electrical impulses.This occurs in its instant heating at high temperatures, in which cell membranes are destroyed and water is offered instantly.The remains of the cells are absorbed by phagocytes and are eliminated from the body naturally.The laser ablation methods allow you to perform a deep grinding of the skin, but at the same time create extensive wound surfaces.In fact, this is a very strong skin burning, for restoration, after which it has been for several weeks.These technologies are used when it is necessary to eliminate multiple scars, deep wrinkles, severe pigmentation and significantly tighten the skin.Non -capable technologies work on the surface and in the intermediate layers of the epidermis.In this case, the skin is heated to a no higher temperatureEITHERC and water races do not occur.The rejuvenation effect is achieved due to the denaturation of protein and coagulation of collagen fibers.At the same time, photons stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, returning the elasticity of the skin and smoothing it.
Main advantages and lowercase
Today, laser cosmetology, despite quite high prices for procedures, is one of the most popular areas.The reason for this is its undeniable advantages compared to other methods:
- Minimum recovery period;
- indolate relative;
- low risk of complications;
- High precision and efficiency;
- Stimulation of natural rejuvenation processes.
Most of the time, positive changes are notable after the first procedure, but generally to obtain a sustainable result, 3-5 sessions should be approved with an interval of two weeks to several months.Disadvantages include the fact that the effect lasts less than after surgical straps, up to 5 years.The laser beam does not affect the muscles, it does not face the great excess of very deep facial fabrics and wrinkles.
Types of lasers
In modern cosmetology, several types of lasers are used.They can be classified according to the type of medium used to generate a photon beam:
- Gas.The most popular of which is carbon dioxide co.Cosmetologists adopted it for the first time, and generates a continuous dense group.
- Solid state.For the concentration of the beam, photons pass through crystals.This type includes: Alexander, Neodymium, Erbium and Ruby Lasers.They generate impulsive radiation.
- Liquid.They also create impulsive radiation, a characteristic of which they are short impulses, and there are quite large gaps among them.It has a very soft effect on the skin.
- Diode.One of the latest scientists' developments allows you to work safely in soft tissues and delicate areas.
There is also a fractional laser.It is no less effective than usual affects the face, but damages the skin much less.A solid package is divided into thousands of small fractions.They are several times thinner than human hair, and during the procedure no more than a quarter of the surface of the epidermis is injured.
Indications for use
Rejuvenation of the surface of a face with a laser can be used as an effective means to prevent premature aging.It is advisable to perform some of the procedures after 25-27 years.The indications for the use of more powerful techniques are:
- pigment spots;
- multiple small wrinkles;
- Deep imitation folds;
- traces and acne spots;
- stretch marks, scars and scars;
- lethargy and decrease in skin turgidity;
- unhealthy complexion;
- stars and vascular networks;
- strongly expanded pores;
- Unequal skin relief;
- demodecosis and rosacea;
- PHOTO START SIGNALS.
It is very possible to deal with most of these problems for 3-4 laser rejuvenation sessions.But sometimes they have to combine with other living or home procedures.
Popular procedures
To date, there are more than a dozen varieties of laser facial procedures with a pronounced anti -angling effect.Some of them have a great demand, others are made only in the presence of certain indications.We will talk about the few of the most popular who can even go in provincial clinics today.
Laser grinding
One of the most powerful and effective rejuvenation methods.To obtain the visible effect, only a procedure is often enough.In this case, you can get rid of:
- small wrinkles;
- pigment spots;
- shallow scars and scars;
- expanded pores.
For the procedure, erbium lasers or carbon dioxide are usually used.The recovery period is 2 to 4 weeks to 2 months, depending on the depth of the exhibition and the immensity of the work surface.Repeat such sessions is enough once every 3-5 years.
Fractional thermolism
They use the same types of lasers, but a continuous beam is divided into fractions.This achieves the smoother effect on the work surface and a significant reduction in the active recovery period.This technique allows not only to rejuvenate and renew the skin, but also:
- Tighten the fallen eyelid;
- Remove the bags under the eyes;
- Exercise folds on the neck;
- eliminate stretch marks in the chest;
- Eliminate pigmentation in the nasolabial zone.
In fact, it can be used in the most delicate and vulnerable areas of the face and the body with an adequate setting of the equipment.Due to the soft exposure for a powerful survey, it can take 3 to 5 procedures carried out once every 4-6 weeks.
IPL thermolifting
This procedure is previously recommended for the correction of the oval of the face, the elimination of films and the second chin.Its essence lies in the deep heating of the skin, whose result is the reduction of existing collagen fibers and stimulating the synthesis of new ones.The main advantage of the procedure is an instant effect with almost completely absent rehabilitation.The thermolifting is a notable procedure, so it does not destroy the protective layer of the skin, and the face does not require too complete care after it.You can go to work without strong physical effort and high temperatures in the room the second day after the procedure.It is better to pass it with a 3-5 sessions course, and it is desirable to repeat it every 2-3 years.
3D and 4D launch
An integrated three-stage procedure recommended customers after 30-35 years.It is used when the aging signs are already evident and anti therapy is necessary.The skin passes in the stage of laser exposure:
- Deletion of defects.This is the zonal processing of age spots, wrinkles, scars and scars.
- Thermolifting.Next, the skin of the skin and the correction of the oval of the face are carried out.
- Superficial fight.In the end, a slight laser grinding is performed throughout the area, which softens the skin and equals its relief.
Such procedure is expensive and can take 20 minutes in one hour in time.But the patient does not feel a strong discomfort during his behavior, and the results are very good (they can be seen in the photo after 2-3 weeks) and last up to three years.In the 4D survey, an intraoral hardening of cheese hardware is carried out before the previous stages.Its mucous surface is treated with a laser, as a result of which all wounds and microdamines heal, oral cavity is sterilized and collagen synthesis is stimulated more actively.
Eye rejuvenation
Many patients fear the rejuvenation of laser eyes, considering a dangerous procedure and thinking that during it the eyeball can damage and/or lose visual acuity.But modern innovative technologies have made this process completely painless and absolutely harmless.And it is certainly less risky than surgical surgery lifting the eyelids.The procedure is usually performed in an apparatus that has four types of nozzles using several laser technologies.The eyeball is protected by a special limit established directly in it, after which the conjunctiva is processed by the softer regime.Then, the skin around the eyes is heated uniformly, creating the effect of biorevitalization and beginning the processes of natural rejuvenation.After performing a slight laser grinding, which allows you to soften wrinkles and remove the bags under the lower eyelids.And at the end of long and soft impulses, the turgidity of the skin is restored and the production of its own collagen is stimulated.
Contraindications
Since laser rejuvenation technology is a very intense effect on the skin and the whole body, the procedures have many contraindications and are not carried out with:
- exacerbation of internal organ diseases;
- Liver, renal, heart failure;
- insulin dependent diabetes;
- Epilepsy and serious mental disorders;
- skin diseases and infections in problematic areas;
- any form of oncology, neoplasms in the face;
- Built in pacemaker;
- Trends to the formation of keloid scars.
Relative contraindications are fresh tan, damage to skin integrity, recently suffered influence of acute respiratory viral infections, highly reduced immunity, taking antibiotics from the tetracycline series.
Complications and side effects
With the superficial effect of the laser on the skin and the use of technologies, complications and side effects not capable they occur extremely.Most of the time, this is a reaction of the unexpectedly negative skin in light.It is expressed in severe redness, swelling, pain in contact.When working in the middle and deep layers of the skin, they are often observed:
- Strong redness and edema;
- the formation of multiple scabs;
- Variable intensity itching;
- a feeling of skin tension;
- Beeling strong enough.
If the scabs broke or the surface treated with a laser is infected, traces and scars can remain.With insufficient sun protection, pigmentation often occurs.
Resume
According to the revisions of most patients who experienced laser rejuvenation methods, they were very happy.Of the powerful procedures, Fraxel turned out to be the most delicate rehabilitation, after which it lasts only a few days.Excellent results under 40 can be achieved with surface laser grinding, but will have to be repeated regularly.Proper skin care at home and the rejection of bad habits will help prolong the effect.In the first weeks after any laser procedure, it is very important to protect the face of direct sunlight.Therefore, it is better to apply sunscreen to the street before each exit.You can consider the details of each of the procedures described above and listen to the comments of the specialists in the video posted on the Internet.However, it is better to trust the choice of a professional, since the method he likes in his case can be ineffective.
