Age-related skin changes and their correction are one of the most important issues in modern cosmetology.Most scientists distinguish between chrono(physiological) aging, menopause, and photoaging.As with all types of aging, the main sign is skin wrinkles.They are distinguished by depth (superficial, deep), localization (perioral, periorbital, etc.), and mechanism of formation (facial, static).Therefore, most methods of correcting age-related skin changes aim to reduce the depth and severity of wrinkles.
The emergence of fractional laser skin rejuvenation technology (fractional non-ablative photothermal effect) can be considered a breakthrough in cosmetic medicine.The essence of this method is the controlled destruction of old collagen and elastin through micro-areas (sections), leaving intact areas of tissue between them.This surgery is both minimally invasive and highly effective, as has been confirmed by studies over the past few years.Living cells from undamaged tissue ensure rapid recovery of the treated area.In one surgery, 25-30% of the tissue is processed.Research confirms that for optimal results, 3-5 treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart, need to be completed.So, in surgery after surgery, the old collagen framework is replaced by a new collagen framework, the skin remodels, fine lines are eliminated, and deep wrinkles are smoothed.When non-ablative photothermal therapy is used, the barrier function of the epidermis is not compromised and the risk of infection is minimized.Currently, this method is considered the most effective way to correct age-related skin changes.
A new stage in laser medicine and laser rejuvenation is the emergence of equipment embodying the theory of fractional photothermal action.The advantages of using this device for fractional laser skin rejuvenation are that it is efficient, safe and painless.When using fractional laser for skin rejuvenation, an important characteristic is the depth of treatment.Ideally it should be at least 1 mm (1000 mn).If the depth of fractional coagulation is small, let alone solving the problem of deep wrinkles or post-acne scars.Even at maximum power, surgical comfort is guaranteed by the cooling system - contact cooling is used throughout the procedure.Unlike other devices, the procedure with this device does not require anesthesia and marking paint.
Program InstructionsLaser rejuvenation of the facial skin, in addition to age-related changes (structural changes in the epidermis and dermis, marked elastic tissue degeneration, the presence of perioral and periorbital wrinkles, etc.), is also associated with post-acne atrophic scars and hyperpigmentation of various origins.
Accumulated work experience demonstrates the importance of a differentiated approach to the use of this method, taking into account the type and condition of the skin.The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis by a dermatologist and uses multiple laser flashes over the entire treatment area.The duration of the treatment depends on the area of the surface being treated, with facials typically taking 30 minutes.The intensity of surgery performed on different areas of the face may vary, for example, when correcting the "crow's feet" area in the periorbital area, the depth of effect will be less than when correcting pronounced eye bags above the upper lip.After the procedure, the skin may experience slight swelling and redness that disappears in 1-3 days, depending on the skin type and selected parameters.At this time, it is recommended to use a spray that improves tissue regeneration.Next is choosing a cream based on your skin type (without essential oils, glycolic acid, etc.).
Recovery time after laser rejuvenation depends on the state of microcirculation.People who smoke have significantly reduced regeneration capacity.Sometimes slow regeneration is caused by a lack of certain trace elements (such as zinc), vitamins, and polyunsaturated fatty acids.Therefore, it is recommended to perform a laser skin rejuvenation treatment at the same time as taking a drug containing a complex of all substances necessary for regeneration.The duration of the recovery period also depends on the use of home care products.In my practice, I make extensive use of preparations that are free of preservatives, mineral oils, fragrances, and dyes during recovery.They are specially designed for skin repair after laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and photorejuvenation, and are perfect for relieving skin redness, peeling, and irritation.The minimum use of makeup remover is to superficially cleanse the skin and use a primer based on your skin type.Depending on the initial condition of the skin and the problem to be solved, various concentrates can be added to the primer.A separate recipe system allows you to create over 100,000 variations with different ingredients.
What procedures can be combined with laser facial rejuvenation for maximum results?
To maintain the synthesis of new collagen, fibroblasts (skin cells) require amino acids.Amino acid replacement therapy (AZT) involves the use of injectable medications containing amino acids and hyaluronic acid.This method stimulates the work of fibroblasts and maintains maximum levels of collagen synthesis.This procedure is particularly important when a woman is in perimenopause and fibroblast activity is significantly reduced.The method of amino acid replacement therapy is perfectly combined with laser skin rejuvenation (fractional photothermolysis).As a result, the skin recovery period after fractional laser rejuvenation is shortened by 40%, skin elasticity increases, skin tone improves, and wrinkles are smoothed.These processes intensify over time due to the restoration of physiological processes in the dermis.
Additionally, good results can be obtained by incorporating a bioregenerative procedure (injection of hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin) into the laser rejuvenation process.After all, it’s no secret that moisture is necessary for skin cells to divide properly.The choice of medication and the number of bioregenerative procedures depends on the skin type, injection area and initial skin condition.
Current skin condition——status quo– One of the most important criteria for developing a proper personal plan.The effective combination of methods allows you to achieve excellent results with a high degree of safety.
Fractional laser facial rejuvenation is the best way to eliminate wrinkles, but it is not a replacement for the surgeon's scalpel.You can have plastic surgery to improve the shape of your face or remove fat deposits in the double chin area, but this will not change the condition of the skin itself.
