Today, the use of a laser for various cosmetic procedures is quite wide. One of these procedures is laser skin resurfacing, which gives a long-lasting and highly effective result.
Laser resurfacing can be used to correct various areas and areas of the body, eg face, buttocks, neck, thighs, inner arms, abdomen. It is these areas that are considered the most problematic and capable of losing their elasticity and youth as a result of age-related changes in the human body or for other reasons.
Laser skin resurfacing has several of its advantages, which are as follows:
- non-surgical intervention;
- total absence of a recovery period after the procedure;
- preservation of the rejuvenation result for a sufficiently long period;
- the ability of a clear laser effect on the internal structures of the dermis, thus causing the recovery process of collagen cell synthesis;
- guaranteed absence of negative consequences or side effects;
- the possibility of combining laser resurfacing with other cosmetic procedures;
- takes a little time and does not require special conditions during the rejuvenation implementation.
Most clients are interested in how in such a short time and without surgery it is possible to achieve high results and a firm and young skin. The answer is very simple. The action of the laser is to penetrate the skin, which heats up. Short thermal pulses promote the contraction of old collagen cells and trigger the synthesis of new fibers.
So it turns out that with the help of laser facial rejuvenation you can achieve:
- complete removal or significant reduction of wrinkles;
- reduce the severity of stretch marks;
- visibly reduces pores;
- to smooth scars;
- to narrow the area of erythema;
- to strengthen the structure of the skin;
- dramatically improves skin tones.
Facial rejuvenation: fractional, carbonic, lifting
Fractional skin rejuvenation can truly be considered an innovative technology based on the latest research from cosmetologists and specialists in this field. It is known that over time irreversible processes occur in the structure of the skin, some cells die, while others simply stop working for some reason. The active synthesis of collagen and elastin is also stopped.
The result of such processes is the appearance of wrinkles, flabby dry skin.It is a partial skin rejuvenation that is designed to "revitalize" inactive cells. The laser can wake them up and make them work.
- The laser beam begins with a heat shock that awakens the cells.
- As a result of the laser action, the dead cells fall off and stop interfering with the structure of the new ones.
- The cells that are in operation begin the division process to restore the damaged microzone.
- At the same time, the synthesis process of collagen and elastin takes place, responsible for the youthfulness of the skin.
To ensure fine penetration of the laser beam, it is divided into several beams. Thus, a laser grid is obtained, which is created by a special apparatus. If the patient has sensitive skin, an anesthetic gel can be used during the procedure.
Fractional rejuvenation is distinguished by the type of character and the depth of penetration of the laser into the skin.
Ablative rejuvenation is considered one of the options of the procedure. As a result of this procedure, the dead skin micro areas are removed with a laser. As a result, the damaged microzones begin to shrink and heal. The result is an amazing lifting effect.
The second option for rejuvenation is the non-ablative method. During this procedure, the collagen renewal process in the skin also takes place, only at a deep level. The laser beam penetrates deep enough, while the outer layers of the skin remain unharmed. The result is a longer rejuvenation process.
For each patient, whether male or female, an individual variant of fractional rejuvenation should be chosen, taking into account the peculiarities of the skin and the distinctive characteristics of the patient's body.
Indications for partial skin rejuvenation include:
- presence of stretch marks, various types of scars or asterisks;
- enlarged pores;
- the presence of skin pigments;
- laxity and sagging of the skin;
- manifestation of wrinkles, crow's feet.
It is also worth remembering that there are factors that can be an obstacle to the fractional rejuvenation procedure.These factors include:
- inflammation of the area to be "rejuvenated";
- an infectious skin disease;
- presence of psoriasis;
- allergic manifestations;
- tumor of a malignant nature in the area to be treated;
- epilepsy disease.
Laser resurfacing is a modern method of facial skin rejuvenation. Exposure to a medical laser beam is able to evaporate the surface layer of the skin and, as a result, even out the skin relief.
Laser resurfacing is also used to correct or remove external skin imperfections, for example scars, scars, or various deformities. The depth of penetration of the beam and the planned area of skin treatment for each patient are selected individually.
The main indications for laser skin resurfacing are:
- changes in facial skin as a result of the age factor;
- facial photoaging;
- manifestation of wrinkles on the face;
- the consequences of mechanical impact on the face: scars and scars.
Contraindications include:
- strong inflammatory processes in the area to be treated;
- tendency of the patient's body and skin to excessive scarring.
In terms of time, laser resurfacing can take between half an hour and an hour, depending on the area to be treated and your area. Before the procedure, an abbreviated examination and a consultation with a doctor are planned.
The recovery period is several days, from 5 to 10, when the scabs completely disappear. This period involves the use of antiseptic ointments by the patient. It will be possible to return to physical work or sports activity 3-4 weeks after the procedure.
Carbon laser facial rejuvenation is considered the newest laser peeling technique that uses a carbon enhancer.
The peculiarity of laser carbon fiber face resurfacing is the delicate effect of carbon peeling, which gently exfoliates the dead cells of the epidermis and at the same time has a bactericidal effect. As a result, metabolic processes are restored, there is also a narrowing of the pores, stimulation of elastin and collagen production. The skin starts the regeneration process at the cellular level, which helps to rejuvenate the skin, eliminate wrinkles and improve the general condition of the skin.
Carbon laser facial rejuvenation has no age restrictions, except for minors. The procedure is often used for oily or problem skin.
The instructions for the procedure are:
- wrinkles;
- oily and problem skin;
- manifestation of skin laxity;
- pore expansion on the face;
- loss of natural complexion;
- pigmentation.
There are many benefits of carbon laser facial rejuvenation, the main ones include:
- non-invasive method and, as a result, there is no pain during and after the procedure;
- no payback period;
- noticeable result after the first session;
- wide range of laser action.
One of the methods available to combat the aging of facial skin and restore elasticity and youth is the laser face lift.
A special feature of the procedure is the use of a laser beam not in a continuous direction, but in a fraction exposure method. The point effect of the laser leads to the active restoration of the activity of fibroblasts, the cells "in the embryo". These cells are used for the production and synthesis of collagen.
For this lift, local anesthesia is usually used, mainly a cooling gel. The rehabilitation period after the laser face lift ends one week after the procedure.
The results of the laser survey can be considered:
- pronounced and clear oval of the face;
- tight facial skin;
- elasticity and density of the skin;
- wrinkle reduction;
- smooth out irregularities;
- removal of the vascular network;
- removal of age spots on the face.
It should be said that the course of laser facelift procedures includes several sessions, the sequence and period of which are determined by the specialist, depending on the patient's skin condition and the preservation of the effectiveness of the procedure. Usually, as a result of proper care, the laser face lift effect remains effective for 2-4 years.

Advantages of laser cosmetology include:
- without surgical intervention;
- non-traumatic, but at the same time very effective effect of the laser light beam;
- the ability to remove various defects, such as wrinkles or scars, and at the same time stimulate the production of collagen, which leads to the rejuvenation of the skin of the face;
- preservation of performance over a long period.
It should also be noted that in laser cosmetology, especially of the face, the professionalism of the doctor, the quality of the apparatus and compliance with all the basic rules and requirements for a particular procedure are very important.
