Laser resurfacing is a non-surgical method of tightening the skin of the face and body, which is performed using laser procedures.
The main types of laser lifting
- Fractional photothermolysis.
- Fotona 4D laser resurfacing.
- Photorejuvenation in the Lumenis M22 device.
- RF elevation.
- SMAS-lifting Altera.
- SMAS lifting ultraformer.
During the laser resurfacing procedure, the entire surface of the skin (where the procedure is performed) is treated with a laser beam, which penetrates several millimeters and causes local heating of the tissue. It improves local blood circulation in the skin, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin (fibers responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin).
Laser resurfacing, in addition to the lifting (stretching) effect, can have a peeling effect (in this case, a charcoal mask is preliminarily applied to the skin): the particles of the mask heated by the laser lead to the removal of the superficial stratum corneum. , and the fat content of the skin is also reduced.
The main indications for laser resurfacing
- Sagging of the skin;
- Decreased tone and elasticity of the skin;
- The barrier functions of the skin are preserved, there is no risk of infection.
- Treatment of acne and acne scars.
The latest technique in cosmetology is a combination of plasma lifting and laser skin resurfacing.
The essence of plasmolifting consists in the introduction of a person's own plasma, enriched with platelets, into the skin tissue, as a result of which the regeneration (restoration) processes of the skin are accelerated and the local immune defense is increased. . Laser resurfacing, in addition to its own effect, promotes the further activation of platelets, the release of biologically active substances from them. The effect of the joint procedures significantly outweighs the effect of each procedure separately. As a result of the complex of these procedures, plasma lifting and laser resurfacing, the skin color improves, its firmness and elasticity increase, the sagging of the skin and the intensity of age-related pigmentation are significantly reduced, relief It is leveled and wrinkles are eliminated.
