With age, it is possible that ptosis, or tissue drooping, may develop. This process is associated with a lack of collagen. One of the most effective procedures for restoring youthful skin is laser rejuvenation. In the early stages of skin aging, laser exposure can prevent tissue sagging, restore the skin to a healthy appearance, and accelerate the synthesis of collagen and elastin.

Non-ablative laser rejuvenation

Laser non-ablative skin rejuvenation is carried out to eliminate age-related changes. This type of procedure involves converting light energy into heat energy. This effect promotes the launch of new collagen fibers and has an antiseptic effect.

With the help of the procedure, you can avoid the progression of age-related changes and increase skin tone and maintain its youth. Therapy is recommended for patients over 25 years of age to maintain skin tone. In some cases, laser facial skin rejuvenation can be prescribed to eliminate acne marks and reduce the risk of inflammation.

When is therapy recommended:

• Pores are enlarged;
• There are mild manifestations of hyperpigmentation;
• The first signs of aging have become noticeable;
• The skin has become loose in the face, neck and décolleté;
• A healthy complexion should be restored;
• There is acne and traces of rashes, the skin is dehydrated.

The skin is not injured during treatment. The skin is not destroyed, so no rehabilitation is required. The effect appears gradually and is cumulative. To obtain a lasting and visible result, a course of therapy from 3 to 10 procedures may be required.

After non-ablative rejuvenation, you can notice that the pores have become narrower and more invisible, the relief of the dermis has leveled out, the shade has become more uniform, the skin has become elastic, and shallow wrinkles have begun to disappear.

The essence of the procedure

Effects on the skin can be non-ablative and ablative. In the first case, the skin is not injured, the dermis warms up, which leads to the synthesis of collagen and elastin.

With ablative treatment, the integrity of the skin is compromised. The impact can be complete - laser resurfacing is carried out, or incomplete - thermolysis is carried out with a fractional laser.

The use of the ablative method involves the use of a carbon dioxide or erbium laser. The radiation affects the upper layers of the dermis to eliminate such nuances as wrinkles and scars, creases around the eyes, and hyperpigmentation. Ablative laser allows you to eliminate stretch marks and scars. After such rejuvenation, a short recovery is required.

Types of fractional skin resurfacing and technical possibilities for its implementation

To carry out fractional laser resurfacing procedures for the skin of the face and body, two professional machines are used within the walls of our clinic, which significantly expands the implementation of the capabilities of the method:

1. The FOTONA SP Dynamis laser is a solid-state erbium laser with a wavelength of 2940 nm. Allows you to perform both superficial and deep fractional skin resurfacing (drilling) procedures.

1. The Palomar 2940 laser is a fractional erbium laser with a penetration depth of up to 1.4 mm. The use of this laser allows for surface skin resurfacing procedures to quickly eliminate shallow wrinkles, smooth out scars and cicatrices, including acne scars, and smooth the skin surface.

Indications for non-ablative laser rejuvenation

Non-ablative laser rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes and other areas of the face involves targeting the deeper layers of the skin while maintaining skin integrity. Using the procedure, you can eliminate small pigment spots, restore the smoothness and elasticity of the skin, and eliminate sagging. Stimulating collagen synthesis leads to the fact that the number of wrinkles decreases, large creases become less noticeable, and small wrinkles are completely smoothed out.

The method is non-invasive and does not require rehabilitation or long-term recovery. The procedure does not cause pain, and the occurrence of burns and other complications is excluded.

Despite the safety of the procedure, there are some limitations to its implementation - neoplasms in the affected area, oncology, some chronic pathologies in the acute stage.

How does the Fractional CO2 rejuvenation procedure work?

• Before carrying out fractional photothermolysis there is no need to undergo preliminary preparation. All that is required from the patient is a good mood and a desire to be beautiful.
• Before rejuvenation, the cosmetologist will remove makeup and thoroughly cleanse the skin.
• In order to relieve possible painful sensations, he will treat the desired area with a cream that contains an anesthetic.
• After this, the process of fractional photothermolysis begins, which is accompanied by a slight tingling sensation in the treatment area. The duration of the procedure depends on the condition of the skin; on average, the procedure takes from 20 minutes to an hour.
• The cosmetologist uses a special device called fractional CO2 laser Cosmopulse II to carry out fractional photothermolysis.

Types of laser rejuvenation

Fractional rejuvenation is often used to specifically eliminate some of the nuances. The peculiarity of this method is that the laser affects only the areas where problems need to be eliminated, without affecting neighboring areas.

Performing laser biorevitalization helps eliminate deep creases and scars. The principle of action is that the laser destroys damaged cells, which promotes the formation of new epidermis. Biorevitalization promotes the production of your own collagen.

With non-ablative treatment, the skin is not damaged. The procedure helps fight wrinkles and rashes, scars and other nuances that appear with age.

Laser resurfacing can eliminate fine wrinkles and the effects of acne. With the help of photorejuvenation, you can restore elasticity to the skin, eliminate sagging and some signs of aging.

On the DEKA AY device

To perform rejuvenation procedures, modern and high-quality equipment from the famous DEKA brand is used. Using this platform, you can quickly and painlessly perform laser rejuvenation, which will increase skin elasticity and reduce signs of aging in a non-ablative manner.

This platform allows you to effectively and without side effects fight acne and the consequences of acne, stretch marks and hyperpigmentation. Lasers from this brand, used in cosmetology, are multifunctional devices that involve various types of radiation sources.

The operation of an effective cooling system eliminates overheating of the skin and the development of burns, the appearance of scars and other complications, the recovery period is absent or significantly reduced.

What is the advantage of fractional photothermolysis over radio wave and photolifting?

Fractional photothermolysis, unlike laser resurfacing, does not remove the epidermis immediately over the entire surface of the skin, but “fractionally” - in uniform micro-areas, each a fraction of a millimeter in size. Moreover, since there is no extensive wound surface and intact skin is preserved between micro-areas, healing occurs quickly and without negative consequences. The basis of the widely advertised photo and radio wave lifting is the heating of collagen fibers, without removing the epidermis.

Post-procedure care

The procedure does not have a recovery period after a laser rejuvenation session. Usually, the result after implementation becomes noticeable after 3-4 days - the skin color improves, it becomes more toned, wrinkles are smoothed out.

You can clarify the specifics of care with the cosmetologist who performed the manipulation. Depending on the degree of exposure, a specialist may recommend the use of masks and creams, and the use of a moisturizing lotion. You may need to use products with UV protection for a while and limit steaming procedures for a few days.

What is fractional photothermolysis and how does it work?

Fractional photothermolysis is a process of focal destruction of tissues by heating them with light (laser) energy.

The effect is due to two phenomena:

Firstly, the old tissue is physically destroyed and removed, in its place a new one, free from the defect, grows;

Secondly, due to heating, skin cells are activated, the phenomenon of so-called “heat shock” occurs, when the cells begin to function like young ones, actively rebuilding the collagen-elastin framework of the skin.

Ultimately, the skin is not only tightened and freed from age spots, but also evened out: scars and wrinkles are smoothed out, stretch marks disappear, pore sizes are reduced, it becomes denser and more elastic.

The visible effect is noticeable after just ONE procedure, and after several, a pronounced rejuvenating result is observed. In addition, there is a good lifting effect for several months after the procedure.

Result of laser rejuvenation

The laser rejuvenation procedure will help restore the clarity of the oval of the face, stop the sagging of tissues and restore the density and elasticity of the skin. Manipulation helps smooth out small wrinkles and make large creases less pronounced.

It is indicated if the complexion has become dull, the skin looks dehydrated, and the pores have become very noticeable. The laser allows you to eliminate scars and scars, brownish and reddish spots from acne, and restore the relief of the dermis. After exposure, the processes of collagen and elastin production are launched, which has a positive effect on the appearance of the face.
