Laser facial rejuvenation: a description of the procedure

laser facial skin rejuvenation

The laser beam has become a real breakthrough in cosmetology. In 75% of cases dealing with skin defects, it was able to replace injections and surgery.

Laser treatments not only successfully remove scars and blemishes, they also eliminate the signs of aging.

What is this

Laser renewal is performed with a special device.

The beam moves along the body with a special "handle". The pulses penetrate 1 mm deep into the skin layers. At high frequencies and heating, old cells are destroyed. Intact tissues respond by releasing increased amounts of elastin and collagen, which restore the damaged dermis. Renewed skin becomes denser and more elastic. To avoid burns, select the optimal temperature for each area of ​​the skin.

In this case, the treatment is practiced not only on the face but also on the rest of the body. The thighs, abdomen, chest, forearms, and hands suffer no less from age-related wear.

As a result of the correct procedure, the effects are marked:

  • Visible smoothing of deep wrinkles;
  • small facial wrinkles disappear;
  • discoloration of hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, acne, vascular and scars;
  • narrowing enlarged pores;
  • smooth the surface of the derma;
  • appearance of healthy facial skin by stimulating blood circulation;
  • Tighten the contours of the face and body.

Noticeable improvements are visible after the first session. Consolidating successful rejuvenation allows for the process of addressing the problem area 5.
