What is the procedure of laser skin rejuvenation?

Skin (protecting the human body from exposure to a variety of mechanical, physical and chemical factors) with every passing year lose their elasticity, covered with wrinkles and folds, their color becomes pale, and on the surface appear repulsive-looking spots.

First barely noticeable wrinkles (most commonly the eye) begin to appear closer to thirty years, and after forty, as the loss of turgor of the skin, they go deep and cover all the skin of the unattractive mesh. This circumstance often afflicts women who do not want to age quickly.

To help aging beauties came laser. Under the influence of laser beams in the combustion of the top layer of dead skin that have lost elasticity of the cells, and triggers an accelerated production of collagen and elastin surrounding living cells. The regeneration of the structural elements of the skin occurs only in areas exposed to laser beams. Adjacent areas of the skin remain intact.

In this process, there is a significant rejuvenation of the skin, the disappearance of small and medium wrinkles and even restore facial contours.

The laser machines of the latest generation, even non-surgical forehead lift — this is evidenced by positive feedback from patients who have undergone laser facelift double chin.

Innovation the DOT-rejuvenation

DOT-rejuvenation is a new modern cosmetic method using the latest technology. This procedure is highly effective, it is conducted in a progressive cosmetic centers and clinics of plastic surgery. This system is a versatile tool to deal with the problems caused by the aging of the skin due to natural biological aging of the muscles and connective tissues.

In the case of DOT laser-skin rejuvenation is used impact carbon dioxide laser with a special wavelength. Via fractional laser beam glow in the deeper layers of the skin is:

• the restoration of lymph flow and blood flow;
• increases the production of elastin and collagen;
• enhancing regeneration of the connective tissue;
• the increase of turgor of the skin;
• resorption age spots, spider veins and knotted joints.

When the DOT-rejuvenation apparatus affects the skin gently, so can carry out the rejuvenating procedure eyelids, neck and décolleté. From skin sensitivity, pain threshold and force sensors of the device depends on the intensity of sensations during a session. During a rejuvenating manipulations the patient feel comfortable, are encouraged to apply 1 of the methods of local anesthesia in the place where it is provided to influence the laser.

Types of laser peeling

Laser skin rejuvenation is an excellent alternative to a surgical facelift. Laser peeling can be of several types.

• Surface designed for the processing strain of the epidermis (the top layer of the skin). With superficial peels you can almost instantly smooth out uneven skin texture and get rid of ugly age spots. The superficial peels procedure is subjected to the most sensitive areas of skin: around eyes, lips, the neck and neckline. The procedures of this type could be considered laser skin resurfacing (all types), and fractional rejuvenation of the face (the vast majority of its species). Superficial peeling is a fairly traumatic procedure. Full recovery of the skin after it happens for one or two weeks.
• Median. This type of peel can remove dead cells located in the lowermost (basal) layer of the epidermis. Area exposure medium peel are all the same problem areas of the skin on the face, neck, hands and decollete. With it, act on wrinkles of varying severity, to achieve the smooth keloid scars and stretch marks, removes shallow scars left after acne, warts and papillomas, and significantly evens the complexion, helping to eliminate dark spots. Median peeling can be performed by fractionation method in which irradiation of the skin common grid of laser beams produced by different types of lasers: erbium? neodymium laser, etc. the Pros and cons of each due to a different wavelength, the method of procedure and different depth of penetration into the tissue. Absolute advantage over other types of lasers do not have any camera. There is a fundamentally different method of performing medium peel: the so-called laser skin resurfacing. What is it? During the procedure, laser resurfacing this type together with beams of laser rays, the skin receives a large amount of extra energy, causing the formation of microexplosions followed by the inevitable evaporation of the tissue subjected to laser exposure. Laser resurfacing is performed, as a rule, the erbium laser.
• Deep. The most effective methods of deep laser peels are procedures that are often called "non-surgical facelift": this is the laser facial rejuvenation and RF-rejuvenation.

The apparatus consists of a control microprocessor, a set of tools and element-cooler to the skin sends beams of laser beams, forming a dense enough grid.

The technique of RF-rejuvenation facilitates the penetration of laser beams into the deeper layers of the epidermis which are subjected to thermal effects of RF energy, resulting in pinpoint heating of the problematic areas of the body and face.

Both methods — laser and fractional RF rejuvenation-facial rejuvenation — contribute to the compaction of the collagen bundles and the formation of one kind of support frame for the skin, and enhance the regenerative and rejuvenating processes in areas exposed to the laser apparatus.

Safety and low invasiveness of both procedures gives you the opportunity to not only affect the skin of hands and neck, but also to perform skin rejuvenation around the eyes.

Deep laser peels to smooth wrinkles enough relief, significantly evens out skin tone and creates the effect of younger-looking skin. As a result, the female acquires a youthful appearance without plastic surgery.

A great advantage of the methods RF and laser skin rejuvenation is an escalation effect. After taking the recommended beautician course rejuvenating the skin condition will continue to improve for six months.

Deep laser peel can also be made on the unit of CO2, but its effect hands is not enough qualified staff may leave deep scars on the skin of the patient because the equipment is often used as a scalpel in plastic surgery.

The procedure of surface and median peeling is accompanied by local anesthesia. Deep laser peel requires the use of General anesthesia in a specialized hospital.

The choice of peel depends on the complexity of the cosmetic defect.

  Method of laser biorevitalisation is reduced to non-injection introduction of a special hyaluronic acid.
• What you need to change the structure of hyaluronic acid, which is originally high molecular (a polymer almost) connection? The fact that high molecular hyaluronic acid can penetrate the thickness of human epidermis due to the complexity of the structure of its molecules consisting of long chains too. Structured acid, becoming a low molecular weight, acquires the ability to penetrate easily into the upper layers of the skin. The laser beam again holds short molecular chains, making hyaluronic acid polymer, which promotes moisture retention by the cells of the human skin, creating a more toned, not affected by aging of the skin.
• For the procedure biorevitalisation use infrared (cold) laser, which has a low level of intensity.
  Thanks to the assistance of laser structured hyaluronic acid easily reaches the lower layers of the skin, alternately and evenly filling overcome its layers. In this way the skin is not heated, and after biorevitalisation begins to peel off and doesn't afraid of UV exposure. Thanks to this procedure of laser biorevitalisation can be carried out even in the summer.
• In order to facilitate the delivery of hyaluronic acid in the problem areas of the skin, the upper layers of the epidermis softened by means of a hot compress, then perform a light cleansing peeling. After that start the procedure of laser biorevitalisation, applying on cleansed skin special chemical composition of structured hyaluronic acid and collagen.
  The laser exposure is carried out using special nozzles. Any pain when this does not occur (this is confirmed by reviews of the patients).
• Laser skin rejuvenation method biorevitalisation is characterized by more rapid update of the skin, due to the depth of impact introduced into the skin structure.
