Non-ablative photo rejuvenation is a modern cosmetic technology that improves the appearance and condition of the skin.
The medical effect of a laser can be ablative, based on the destruction of the surface layers of the skin, or non-ablative, in which heating and, if necessary, targeted destruction of deeper tissues is achieved without damaging the surface layers. Classic methods of laser cosmetics are ablative technologies - skin renewal, removal of scar tissue. However, modern lasers can stimulate positive changes in the skin without any significant damage. Such influences are actively used to create an effect called photorejuvenation. Under the influence of a specially generated ("reinforced") beam of light - hence the word "photo" - smooths small and medium wrinkles, improves the complexion, restores the elasticity and suppleness of the skin; skin aging stops.
Photorejuvenation Mechanism
With non-ablative photo-rejuvenation, the micro-beam penetrates the tissue to the required depth (up to 3 mm). The beam penetrates the epidermis (surface layer of the skin) and does not interact with it. In the deeper layers of the dermis, which are the target of penetration, a large number of young collagen molecules are produced under the influence of a beam of light - a protein that forms the basis of connective tissue and is responsible for its strength and elasticity. The energy of the laser pulse heats all skin layers and thus helps improve microcirculation.
The best result is obtained in young and medium-sized people, that is, the method is most effective for correcting the first signs of aging (at the age of 30-35 years). This is due to the fact that the action of the laser turns on the reaction forces of the organism itself, and age reduces their activity.
Indications for laser skin rejuvenation
- Wrinkles, sagging, and dull skin tone;
- abnormal rosacea network (spider veins);
- dark spots.
Method effectiveness
The result can already be felt after one procedure (appears after 3-4 weeks). A laser rejuvenation course usually consists of 3-10 procedures. The break between procedures should be 1 month.
