Laser facial rejuvenation provides a very natural and lasting effect. This is an excellent alternative to surgical procedures.
By stimulating the collagen in the skin, natural regeneration processes are initiated and contribute to a visible improvement in the condition of the skin. What to know about laser facial rejuvenation?
When should you use a laser for wrinkles?
Almost all anti-aging procedures can be performed with a laser. Modern anti-wrinkle lasers are characterized by a wide range of possible applications, often in a single device:
- are an antidote to wrinkles,
- strengthen and tighten the skin,
- eliminate 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 aging or to carry out treatments that strengthen the condition of young skin in order to slow down the aging process. However, most often people over 30 choose laser skin rejuvenation when more pronounced wrinkles, discoloration and dilated capillaries appear on the 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 that target areas of the face that require intensive regeneration. The energy targets impurities very precisely and mobilizes the skin so that it can develop its regenerative effect.
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 a photomechanical effect in the case of picosecond lasers) and leading to controlled damage to the treated tissue. This allows you to eliminate wrinkles, discoloration or dilated capillaries (so-called spider veins). When in contact with water, fractional lasers act on skin cells and stimulate their production of collagen and elastin. Vascular lasers capture hemoglobin and thus lead to the closure of the blood vessel. On the other hand, lasers used to remove age spots react with melanin.
Is laser rejuvenation safe?
Provided that laser facial rejuvenation is performed by an experienced specialist with professional equipment and in a specialized center, you can be sure that the procedure is safe and will bring the expected results. Depending on the device used, the procedure can be more or less painful. For people who are sensitive to pain, the doctor may use a local anesthetic with an anesthetic 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, which stimulates the skin to regenerate. The temperature caused by laser facial rejuvenation leads to an influx of fibroblasts, i. e. H. Cells that produce collagen fibers. This causes the skin to regenerate from within.
Since laser facial rejuvenation is based on stimulating natural processes in the skin, you must expect that the effects will not be visible immediately. Initially, several treatments are required to achieve visible results. Second, laser-initiated collagen remodeling takes several weeks or even months. Therefore, to achieve optimal results, it is necessary to wait about 3 months after the end of laser therapy.
