Laser facial rejuvenation provides a very natural and long-lasting effect. This is a great alternative to surgical procedures.
Thanks to the stimulation of collagen in the skin, it triggers natural regenerative processes and contributes to a marked improvement in skin condition. What do you need to know about laser facial rejuvenation?
When should you use laser to treat wrinkles?
Almost all anti-aging procedures can be performed using lasers. Modern anti-wrinkle lasers have a wide range of applications, often in one device:
- is a wrinkle antidote,
- strengthens and tightens the skin,
- remove 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, visible signs of skin aging can be treated or provided with treatments that strengthen the skin's youthful condition to slow down the aging process. However, most often people over 30 years old decide to undergo laser skin rejuvenation when wrinkles, discoloration and dilated capillaries appear on the face.
What is laser facial rejuvenation?
Laser facial rejuvenation is an aesthetic treatment 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 targets imperfections very precisely and mobilizes the skin to begin its regenerative action.
The laser emits light of a certain wavelength, affecting certain chromophores in the skin. Chromophores are substances such as water, melanin (skin pigment) and hemoglobin (blood pigment). The individual substances absorb the laser energy, which causes a photothermal (or photomechanical in the case of picosecond laser) effect and causes controlled damage to the treated tissue. This way you can get rid of wrinkles, discoloration or dilated capillaries (called spider veins). Fractional laser, in contact with water, affects skin cells, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. The vascular laser captures hemoglobin and thereby causes blood vessel closure. On the other hand, lasers designed to remove age spots react with melanin.
Is laser rejuvenation safe?
Provided that laser facial rejuvenation is carried out by an experienced specialist, using professional equipment and in a specialized center, you can be sure that the procedure will be safe and give the expected results. Depending on the device used, this procedure may be more or less painful. For people who are sensitive to pain, the doctor may use local anesthesia using 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. This treatment causes controlled inflammation, which stimulates skin regeneration. The temperature caused by laser facial rejuvenation causes the influx of fibroblasts, e. g. cells that produce collagen fibers. Thanks to this, the skin regenerates from the inside.
Since laser facial rejuvenation is based on stimulation of natural processes in the skin, you should be prepared for the fact that the effect will not be visible immediately. First, you need several treatments to get visible results. Second, laser-initiated collagen remodeling lasts several weeks or even months. Therefore, to obtain optimal results, it is necessary to wait approximately 3 months after laser therapy ends.
