Laser facial rejuvenation provides a very natural and long-lasting effect. This is an excellent alternative to surgical procedures.
Thanks to the stimulation of collagen in the skin, it activates the natural regeneration processes and contributes to a visible improvement in the condition of the skin. What do you need to know about laser facial rejuvenation?
When should you use laser for wrinkle removal?
Almost any anti-aging procedure can be performed using a laser. Today's anti-wrinkle lasers are characterized by a variety of applications, often in a single device:
- is anti-wrinkle,
- strengthen and strengthen the skin,
- prevent discoloration,
- tight capillaries
- remove acne scars.
Experts know all about laser facial rejuvenation. This is a procedure that can be used at almost any age. Depending on the equipment and its parameters, it is possible to treat the visible signs of skin aging or to perform procedures that strengthen the condition of new skin to slow down the aging process. However, most often people after 30 years decide to undergo laser skin rejuvenation, when more pronounced wrinkles, discoloration and dilated capillaries appear on the face.
What is laser facelift?
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 need intensive regeneration. The energy removes imperfections very precisely and mobilizes the skin to start its regenerative actions.
The laser emits a beam of light of a specific wavelength that affects certain chromophores in the skin. Chromophores are substances such as water, melanin (skin pigment) and hemoglobin (blood pigment). Certain substances 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. This way you can prevent 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 lasers capture hemoglobin and thus lead to blood vessel closure. On the other hand, lasers designed to remove age spots react with melanin.
Is laser resurfacing safe?
If facial laser 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 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 numbing cream. Be prepared for irritation, redness and swelling after the procedure. This is a normal reaction of the skin to laser exposure. The treatment induces controlled inflammation that stimulates skin regeneration. The temperature generated by laser facial rejuvenation causes an influx of fibroblasts, i. e. i. cells that produce collagen fibers. Thanks to this, the skin regenerates from the inside.
Since facial laser rejuvenation is based on stimulating natural processes in the skin, you should be prepared for the fact that the effects will not be noticeable immediately. First, to get visible results, you need several procedures. Second, laser-initiated collagen remodeling takes several weeks or even months. Therefore, to obtain optimal results, it is necessary to wait approximately 3 months after the end of the laser treatment.
