Laser facial rejuvenation provides a very natural and long-lasting effect. It is an excellent alternative to surgical procedures.
Due to the stimulation of collagen in the skin, it activates natural regenerative processes and contributes to a visible improvement in the condition of the skin. What should you know about laser facial rejuvenation?
When to use laser for wrinkles?
Almost any anti-aging procedure can be performed using a laser. Modern anti-wrinkle lasers have many applications, often in one device:
- is an antidote to wrinkles,
- strengthens and tightens the skin,
- remove discoloration,
- close the capillaries
- remove acne scars.
Specialists 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 the visible signs of skin aging or perform procedures that strengthen the condition of young skin in order to slow down the aging process. However, people over the age of 30 usually opt for laser skin rejuvenation when more pronounced wrinkles, discolored, 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" aimed at areas of the face that require intensive regeneration. The energy very precisely targets imperfections and mobilizes the skin to start regenerative actions.
The laser emits a light beam of a certain 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 effect (or photomechanical in the case of picosecond lasers) and causes controlled damage to the treated tissue. In this way, you can remove wrinkles, discoloration or dilated capillaries (called spider veins). Fractional lasers, in contact with water, affect skin cells, stimulating their production of collagen and elastin. Vascular lasers fix the hemoglobin and thus close the blood vessel. Lasers for removing age spots, on the other hand, react with melanin.
Is laser rejuvenation safe?
If 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 give 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 using a pain-relieving cream. Be prepared that irritation, redness and swelling may occur after the procedure. This is a normal skin reaction to laser exposure. The treatment induces controlled inflammation that promotes skin renewal. The heat generated by laser facial rejuvenation causes an influx of fibroblasts, i. e. i. e. cells that produce collagen fibers. As a result, the skin regenerates from the inside.
Since laser facial rejuvenation is based on the stimulation of natural processes in the skin, you must be prepared that the effect will not be visible immediately. First, it takes several procedures to get visible results. Second, laser-initiated collagen remodeling takes weeks or even months. Therefore, to obtain optimal results, it is necessary to wait approximately 3 months after the end of laser therapy.
