No woman wants to grow old, so she strives with all her might to prolong youth and get rid of her age-related changes. You can get rid of it with cosmetics. Of course, these cosmetics are very expensive, but beauty requires sacrifice. In addition, cosmetic products do not always help eliminate all ailments that the fair sex of different ages have.
Also, a representative of the weaker sex can perform a special cosmetic operation for herself, which will help her get rid of all shortcomings.
What is laser facial rejuvenation
This is a fix that requires a careful and responsible approach.
With this procedure, the fair sex can:
- get rid of age spots, wrinkles;
- correct areas of subsidence.
Also, when using laser facial rejuvenation, the patient can:
- reduce the size of the pores;
- make the skin of the face more even and give it a more natural color;
- get rid of age-related changes;
- eliminate vascular networks;
- get rid of age spots;
- make the skin softer without using practically any cosmetics;
- make the skin smoother, healthier skin, give it a healthy shade;
- to free the fair sex from spider veins;
- improve the body's production of collagen, elastin, which affect the elasticity of the skin.
The procedure is done for women over the age of 30 and under the age of 50. The laser beam has the same effect on the tissues of any woman. But whether or not it is possible to perform this effect on a particular patient, only the doctor will tell.
The facial skin rejuvenation procedure with the laser has both positive and negative qualities.
For example, the procedure:
- It leaves no scars or other unsightly marks. This is due to the fact that the laser beam has a point effect on the problem area. After 3-4 days, all unpleasant symptoms will disappear on their own.
- Helps to address the problems that affect most of the skin. It also makes the skin more aesthetically pleasing.
- It does not cause painful sensations in the patient. During exposure, a representative of the weaker sex may experience a slight tingling sensation, but in this case it is not necessary to use anesthetics.
- Helps rejuvenate the area where the patient most often suffers from severe pain. The procedure is performed on the neck, décolleté, skin around the eyes, i. e. in places where other cosmetic procedures cannot be performed.
In addition to the positive, this procedure also has negative qualities.
For example, here is the procedure:
- It has a much lower effect than conventional surgery. Usually the effect lasts for 5 years, so the patient will have to repeat the procedure.
- It will not help get rid of deep wrinkles.
- It has a very high cost. If the patient knows that she cannot cope with all the shortcomings in 1 procedure, she will have to save a tidy sum of money for a second procedure.
Causes and indications
Facial rejuvenation is a useful procedure, but it cannot be done by all the fair sex.
For example, it is performed if a woman has:
- wrinkles. In addition, the procedure helps to get rid of both deep and not deep wrinkles;
- the first age-related changes in the skin;
- decreased skin tone;
- heterogeneous complexion;
- many moles, warts;
- many vascular patterns localized on the surface of the face;
- Blackheads.
And the procedure also helps to narrow large pores, get rid of blackheads and acne.
Types, methods and principles of laser rejuvenation surgery
Conventionally, laser facial rejuvenation is divided by women into several main types.
Women can spend:
- Fractional ablative rejuvenation. This operation is very common among citizens. Helps get rid of small flaws. In addition, the specialist has a point effect on the problem area with a laser. If a woman has many different defects, the procedure is carried out in one course. Usually the course includes 6-7 procedures. Furthermore, the process of formation of new cells depends on the area where the impact was made. In some women, the integrity of adjacent tissues also suffers during the procedure. And for some women, it doesn't suffer at all.
- Laser biorevitalization. During the procedure, the doctor effectively and quickly removes deep wrinkles, old scars, but does not perform full-fledged surgery for the fair sex. At the same time, during the operation, the doctor acts with short-term impulses on the upper layers of the epidermis. Thanks to this, the cells divide faster, the process of producing collagen by the body is activated, the damaged skin is restored. The new formed fabrics have a fresh, renewed, elastic look, have a completely new structure. During the procedure, a specialist applies a special preparation to the surface of the skin, which, using a laser beam, quickly penetrates the deep layers of the epidermis. So the skin is hydrated, its condition improves.
- Non-ablative rejuvenation. This procedure is significantly different from the effect in which the doctor uses long conventional laser beams. Such an effect not only helps to get rid of age-related changes, but also eliminates scars, acne and age spots. In addition, during the procedure, several defects localized on the surface of the face are simultaneously eliminated.
- Laser resurfacing. This procedure is performed with a sapphire or erbium laser. The rays have a gentle effect on the skin, help to give the skin a toned appearance and restore its former elasticity. The procedure helps to get rid of acne breakouts, to tighten the oval of the face.
- Peeling. The procedure is done with a carbon dioxide or erbium laser. But when using a carbon dioxide laser, scars may appear in the fair sex. The Erbium beam has a shallower insertion depth, but it only helps to get rid of dead areas located on the skin surface. This procedure takes 30 minutes. But it is necessary to perform at least 3 procedures, and the interval between exposures should be at least 5 days.
- DOT or skin optic thermolysis. This is a completely new procedure that helps a woman rejuvenate her skin. And also such an effect helps to get rid of localized imperfections on the skin around the eyes. In this case, the beam is embedded at a shallow depth, so all exposure is done using an erbium laser beam. It has a point effect on the problem area, so the procedure becomes less dangerous for humans. To achieve the desired effect, it is enough to do only 1 session.
- Fractional photorejuvenation. This is a laser procedure that helps get rid of old skin particles. This effect helps improve elasticity, skin tone, makes it fresher and the person's face rested. All necessary parameters for the device are first selected by the doctor on the computer. Thanks to this, this operation is considered safe. After such a procedure, the skin becomes smoother, the surface of the face is smoothed, it acquires all the properties inherent in a new and renewed skin.
The first age-related changes appear right on the skin around the eyes. This is where the first wrinkles, bags in the fair sex are formed, and the skin sags. These marks make a woman older, but the lady cannot perform hardware cosmetic procedures.
Currently, it is fractional photorejuvenation that is in great demand among citizens, because this is a simple and safe method of correction, after which complications almost never appear in patients.
After this procedure:
- reduced pore size;
- the skin becomes more even and acquires a natural color;
- the fair sex may no longer see the first signs of aging on the face;
- the vascular network is completely eliminated;
- almost no age spots are visible;
- the skin becomes softer. Furthermore, no additional cosmetic products are needed.

In addition, such a laser helps to get rid of moles, warts and fine wrinkles. In addition, the laser helps to get rid of the early stage of cancer.
- Erbium. It is less intense, but very precise. It is much better than carbon dioxide and laser. After such exposure, the patient has no age spots. Such a laser helps to get rid of wrinkles located on the skin near the eyes, and also helps to eliminate fine wrinkles.
- Diode. This is the most famous cosmetic laser. Warms the deep layers of the skin, activates the body's production process of collagen and elastin.
- Fraxel. A gas laser is used here. It has a broad spectrum of action. Such a laser rejuvenates the cells of the face, accelerates the process of their regeneration.
In addition, during the procedure, the following is used:
- Vascular laser. Helps get rid of varicose veins and asterisks located on the skin surface. A device with such a laser first cools the skin, so the risk of burns in a woman is minimized. Also, during the procedure, the doctor hits the problem area not with one, but with several rays at once. One is the goal of the other. In this case, the hemoglobin heats up, the vessel is sealed and disappears from the surface of the skin.
- Neodymium laser. This is a very powerful laser that penetrates the deep layers of the skin. Such a laser helps get rid of scars, scars, spider veins.
