Laser facial rejuvenation gives a very natural and lasting effect. This is a great alternative to surgery.
Thanks to the stimulation of the collagen in the skin, it triggers the natural regeneration processes and contributes to a visible improvement in the skin condition. What is worth knowing about laser facial rejuvenation?
When should you use a laser for wrinkles?
Almost any anti-aging procedure can be performed using lasers. Modern anti-wrinkle lasers are characterized by multiple applications, often in one device:
- are anti-wrinkle,
- strengthen and tighten the skin,
- eliminate discoloration,
- close capillaries
- remove acne.
Experts know all about laser facial rejuvenation. This is a method that can be used at almost any age. Depending on the device and its parameters, it is possible to treat visible skin aging or provide treatments that strengthen the condition of young skin to slow down aging. However, people over the age of 30 decide to undergo laser skin resurfacing when 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 physician. The specialist performs a series of laser shots that target areas of the face that require intense rejuvenation. The energy targets imperfections very precisely and activates the skin to initiate regenerative processes.
The laser emits a light beam of a specific wavelength that affects certain chromosomes in the skin. Chromosomes are substances such as water, melanin (skin pigment) and hemoglobin (blood pigment). Individual materials absorb laser energy, which causes photothermal effects (or photomechanical in the case of picosecond lasers) and leads to controlled damage to the treated tissue. This way you can eliminate wrinkles, discoloration or dilated capillaries (called spider veins). If lasers are in contact with water, they affect skin cells and stimulate their production of collagen and elastin. Vascular lasers trap hemoglobin and thus lead to the occlusion of the blood vessel. In contrast, lasers designed to remove age spots react with melanin.
Is laser resurfacing 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 produce the desired 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 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 controlled inflammation that stimulates the skin to regenerate. The temperature resulting from facial regeneration causes an influx of tissue cells, i. e. e. cells that produce collagen fibers. Thanks to this, the skin renews itself from the inside.
Since laser facial rejuvenation is based on the stimulation of natural processes in the skin, you need to prepare for the fact that the effect will not be visible immediately. First, you need multiple treatments to achieve visible results. Second, laser-initiated collagen remodeling takes several weeks or even months. Therefore, to achieve the best results, it is necessary to wait approximately 3 months after the end of the laser treatment.
