Laser facial rejuvenation provides a very natural and lasting effect. This is the best alternative to surgical procedures.
Thanks to the stimulation of collagen in the skin, it triggers a natural regenerative process and contributes to a significant improvement in the condition of the skin. What should be known about laser facial rejuvenation?
When should you use a laser for wrinkles?
Almost all anti-aging procedures can be done using lasers. Modern anti-wrinkle lasers are characterized by multiple applications, often in one device:
- is an antidote to wrinkles,
- strengthens and tightens the skin,
- eliminate discoloration,
- close the 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 to slow down the aging process. However, often people over the age of 30 decide to undergo laser skin rejuvenation when more noticeable wrinkles, discoloration and dilated capillaries appear on the face.
What is laser facial rejuvenation?
Laser facial rejuvenation is an aesthetic medical procedure performed by a doctor. Specialists perform a series of laser "shots" aimed at areas of the face that require intensive regeneration. The energy targets imperfections very precisely and mobilizes the skin to start its regenerative action.
The laser emits a beam of light with a specific wavelength, affecting specific chromophores in the skin. Chromophores are substances such as water, melanin (skin pigment) and hemoglobin (blood pigment). Individual materials absorb the laser energy, which causes a photothermal (or photomechanical in the case of picosecond laser) effects and leads to controlled damage to the treated tissue. This way you can get rid of wrinkles, discoloration or dilated capillaries (called spider veins). Fractional lasers, when in contact with water, affect skin cells, stimulating their production of collagen and elastin. Vascular laser captures hemoglobin and thereby leads to the closure of blood vessels. In contrast, lasers designed to remove age spots react with melanin.
Is laser rejuvenation safe?
Provided that 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 will bring 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 use a local anesthetic using a numbing cream. Be prepared for the fact that irritation, redness, and swelling may occur after the procedure. This is a normal skin reaction to laser exposure. The treatment causes inflammation to be controlled, which stimulates the skin to regenerate. The temperature caused by laser facial rejuvenation causes the inclusion of fibroblasts, i. e. cells that produce collagen fibers. Thanks to this, the skin regenerates from the inside.
Since laser facial rejuvenation is based on the stimulation of natural processes in the skin, you need to be prepared for the fact that the effect will not be visible immediately. First, you need multiple treatments to get visible results. Second, laser-initiated collagen remodeling lasts for weeks or even months. Therefore, to get optimal results, it is necessary to wait about 3 months after the end of laser therapy.
