Wrinkle removal, laser skin resurfacing

Aging of the human body is a process that, unfortunately, no one can prevent or reverse, just like the formation of wrinkles on the face and neck.

Human skin is designed in such a way that collagen and elastin fibers, which are produced by connective tissue cells, form a kind of “framework” responsible for the elasticity of the skin.

This is explained by the fact that the peculiarity of these proteins is their ability to swell when moisture accumulates in the structure.

Negative environmental influences, bad habits, poor diet, loss of tissue elasticity - all these factors trigger the aging process of body tissues, provoke the formation of wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and many other skin pathologies.

Special cosmetic procedures, which also include laser wrinkle removal, make it possible to slow down the process of wrinkles.

How laser therapy works

Experts call laser cosmetology one of the toughest methods of combating wrinkles and pigmentation on the skin.
The upper layers of the skin (dermis) are affected using a laser of a certain temperature and depth of exposure. After this, the epidermis is processed. High temperatures cause the skin to burn, causing the body to initiate tissue regeneration processes.

Modern laser therapy allows you to get rid of a number of problems:

• against deep wrinkles in the nose and upper lip;
• pigmentation;
• demodicosis;
• pimples, blackheads, etc.

Types of wrinkles

Several types of wrinkles can be distinguished depending on their location and direction (transverse, longitudinal).

• frontal wrinkles - they are located in the forehead area
• lion's wrinkles - the area of ​​the nasolabial folds, the mouth area and between the eyebrows
• crow's feet - they are located in the corners of the eyes

During laser resurfacing, the laser impacts the surface of the skin to a depth of 150 microns. This evens out the relief, because the epidermis evaporates to the level of the basal chamber. With laser resurfacing (laser peeling), the skin is rejuvenated (photorejuvenation) in a few days, wrinkles, facial and senile wrinkles are removed.

No tests are required before the procedure itself. The procedure itself is performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia. In case of increased skin sensitivity or large treatment areas, anesthesia may be used. The only requirement is to remove all makeup before the procedure.

Types of procedures

Today there are several types of laser therapy:

Ablative fractional wrinkle removal. This therapeutic method is used when it is necessary to remove pinpoint imperfections on the skin.

Scientists have proven that in different areas of the face, cells have different stages of growth, therefore, in some areas the dermis is damaged and dry, while in others it is clean and tender. Therefore, special targeted equipment is used to target problem areas.

Laser biorevitalization is a modern non-surgical technique that makes it possible to remove deep scars and wrinkles without resorting to a scalpel. The essence of this method is the use of short-term laser pulses that burn dying and damaged dermal cells.

Over time, a new layer of tissue forms in their place. The procedure is popular because it has a positive effect on the process of collagen production. Non-ablative laser irradiation is a procedure in which the skin is exposed to long laser beams. Unlike ablative wrinkle removal, non-ablative wrinkle removal affects the entire surface of the face.

The procedure uses sapphire or erbium laser equipment, which guarantees a light but deep effect on the skin. This method of laser therapy makes it possible to restore facial contours, remove fine wrinkles, crow's feet and acne.

• Photorejuvenation, as a rule, consists of a set of procedures. Prescribed to women over 45 years of age.

What is the essence of laser facial resurfacing?

Hardware wrinkle removal is based on the effect of laser specifically on problem areas of the skin. Since the folds are located below the level of the epithelium, the device is aimed at leveling out irregularities, which makes them invisible.

The laser surgery method works so that collagen formation is stimulated in the depths of the irregularities. This substance is the main building element in the tissues of the facial epithelium.

As a result of this effect, wrinkles are filled in as they rise to the level of the epithelium, and the skin that surrounds them sinks. As a result, both the epithelium and wrinkles are at the same level, which makes them invisible.

Modern cosmetology uses several methods for eliminating wrinkles with laser:

• laser biorevitalization;
• fractional photothermolysis;
• heating with neodymium laser;
• laser dermabrasion.

The laser device is used in the fight against folds on the skin, but also effectively helps eliminate unsuccessful permanent makeup, molluscum contagiosum, chalazion, basal cell carcinoma, keratomas and rosacea.

The number of resurfacing sessions depends on the depth of wrinkles and the number of scars. If you remove wrinkles with a laser, you will not need a long recovery period.

The procedure does not cause discomfort, so it is performed without anesthesia. The duration of exposure is about 20-90 minutes, depending on the individual indications of the patient.

Beauty salons even practice eyelid rejuvenation with laser. The manipulations are aimed at eliminating excess epithelium to eliminate sagging. The peculiarity of the procedure is the activation of the mechanisms of elastin and collagen production. For this technique, the Er-Yag Dermablate MCL 30 erbium laser is used.

To eliminate wrinkles, two types of devices are most often used - erbium and carbon dioxide. Laser beams penetrate deep into the surface layers of the epithelium, which leads to the “evaporation” of cells.

As a result of this effect, small irregularities disappear, and deep ones become much smaller. Carbon dioxide significantly improves muscle tone, makes the skin more attractive, and evens out its color and structure.

What effect does laser have on wrinkles?

Today, the skin begins to age quite early, and after 25, girls begin to develop fine wrinkles, skin folds form, pores expand, and a change in complexion occurs. Of course, a lot depends on the means that the fair sex uses.

In modern cosmetology, there are a huge number of products that make it possible to look younger than your age, but they only hide the external manifestations of age and produce a short-lived effect. But there is no need to be discouraged, because youthful skin can be restored with laser wrinkle removal.

Using a laser, you can not only remove imperfections on the skin, but also start the process of tissue regeneration. Removing wrinkles using laser is an incredible cosmetic achievement. This is explained by the fact that the laser is not dangerous to the human body, while effectively removing folds, wrinkles and other skin changes.

Exposure to high temperatures on the skin triggers the process of natural cell restoration: the production of collagen and elastin fibers increases, as a result, rashes, pigmentation, scars, scars, etc. disappear from the face.

After the first procedure, the number of wrinkles on the skin decreases, it becomes elastic and toned, and a healthy complexion appears. For the best effect, it is recommended to do several sessions of laser therapy.

Other laser lifting options

Laser wrinkle correction has several varieties. The most popular cosmetic procedure is aimed at returning the epithelium to its former tone - RF lifting.

The technique affects the outer and inner layers of the skin using radio wave radiation. Thanks to powerful impulses generated by a special device, fat cells are destroyed, as well as metabolic processes in the affected area are stimulated.

To achieve a lasting result, it is necessary to carry out hardware lifting multiple times. On average, you will need from 5 to 8 sessions, but the exact number can be determined by a specialist during a face-to-face consultation.

This laser correction of wrinkles, reviews of which are positive, significantly improves the condition of the epithelium, promotes cell renewal, and tones the skin. If you regularly carry out RF lifting, you can effectively tighten all areas of the face and straighten its oval.

The main advantage of the technique is the absence of side effects and the need for a recovery period.

Removal of wrinkles under the eyes with laser is often performed by laser lifting. First, the patient's skin is cleansed and treated with a special gel that will enhance the effect of the laser. Then, using an adjusted beam, the problem area is treated.

Thanks to the targeted effect in the thickness of the dermis, microscopic cracks form, stimulating the activation of the body’s protective functions. A noticeable result will appear 2 weeks after the lifting.

Wrinkle removal procedures should be carried out in Moscow only in those salons and clinics that have special certificates for working with laser machines.

It will be possible to remove wrinkles using a laser using photorejuvenation. The course of eliminating signs of aging takes quite a long time; on average, 4 sessions are required, which are carried out at intervals of 1 month.

Such procedures smooth out wrinkles, increase natural skin turgor, eliminate excessive tightness and dryness of the epithelium, and also normalize complexion.

Preparation and grinding process

Preparation for a laser therapy session consists of several stages:

1. Stage one – cleansing the skin of the face from cosmetics and impurities. Makeup remover and mild soap are great for this.
2. Stage two is the application of anesthetic agents to the face, which are selected taking into account the individual characteristics of the body.
3. Stage three – removal of wrinkles.
4. Stage four - applying protective cream.

The peculiarity of the procedure is that it does not require any special preparation, so it can be carried out at any convenient time.

No tests are required before laser wrinkle removal. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. As a rule, local anesthesia is used, in some cases general anesthesia is performed.

1. The laser therapy session begins with the application of anesthesia to the face.
2. Then, using special equipment, the top layer of skin is removed. The face takes on a white tint. This indicates that the laser has reached the deeper layers of the skin.
3. After this, the anesthetic is again applied to the face for a few minutes and the procedure is repeated. The duration of the session depends on the depth of the wrinkles, and it is carried out until all old skin is removed. If droplets of blood appear on the face, this indicates that the papillary dermis has been reached.

At the end of the laser wrinkle removal session, a burn remains on the skin, which looks like an open wound.

During the first day, the skin may swell, and there is a constant release of exudate - a liquid containing proteins and cells formed as a protective reaction to the inflammatory process. Consequently, after such stress, the skin will need time to recover, during which a new skin is formed.

After two or three days, crusts appear on the face, which completely disappear within a week. The face under the scabs is red. To speed up the healing process, moisturizing cosmetics must be constantly applied to the scabs. If during the rehabilitation period a woman experiences severe pain, the doctor may prescribe analgesics.

It should also be noted that after laser therapy it is undesirable to expose the skin to solar radiation. To do this, during the first three months it is necessary to use sunscreens and sprays with a high level of protection against UV radiation (more than 30).

Preparing the skin for the procedure and further care

Is it possible to remove wrinkles with a laser? Yes, if you properly prepare the skin for the upcoming manipulations. The doctor who will perform the procedure will tell you about all the nuances.

But usually, before performing laser wrinkle removal, you will need to use special products to care for the epithelium. These include whitening creams containing glycolic acid.

If you prepare the epithelium for the procedure, the risk of pigmentation after laser exposure will significantly decrease. This must be done for 6 weeks before the scheduled correction. Upon completion of exposure to the laser device, you will have to continue this care for another 1 month.

Sometimes swelling may occur after exposure, but there is no need to worry as it goes away within 3-5 days after the procedure. On days 3-4, crusts form, under which the epithelium becomes red.

It is imperative to treat such areas with moisturizing creams to speed up the healing process. Women with sensitive skin types may experience unpleasant sensations that are often difficult to cope with. In this case, your doctor may recommend pain medications.

It is recommended to use sunscreen for 4-6 months so as not to harm the condition of the face. A minimum of six months should pass between laser wrinkle removal procedures.

What is laser eyelid rejuvenation, and why is it called thermolifting of the eyes?

Rejuvenation technique using high temperature laser action. It is for this reason that the word consists of two parts: thermo (temperature) - lifting (tightening).

How is the result achieved? As a result of exposure to laser equipment, a slight injury occurs; thanks to nature, human tissue is capable of regeneration, that is, self-recovery. Their own fibrillar particles of dermis and elastin are formed, which replace old cells.

Is it possible to remove bags under the eyes with laser? Of course. Medicine does not stand still.

The surgeon examines the surface. Checks for hyperemia or swelling. Local anesthesia is given, and then the skin is removed. Recovery usually occurs within one week.
