How is laser rejuvenation performed?
Immediately before the start of the procedure, a deep cleansing of the face is required, for which soft peels and peeling compositions are used. Laser treatment is performed exclusively on clean skin.
Depending on the desired end result, individual areas of the face and the entire skin surface can be treated with a laser. The best option is to rejuvenate not only the face, but also the neck and décolleté.
The laser beam penetrates deep into the skin, heating its inner layers, thus actively reducing old collagen fibers, which automatically triggers the production of new ones. Laser facial rejuvenation is performed with pulses lasting from 0. 2 to 0. 5 ms, which is absolutely safe and does not pose a risk to human health.
The result of laser exposure to the skin are the newly formed foci of recovery - separate areas of the face, in which the active process of natural elastin production takes place. A huge plus is the fact that the outer layer of the skin has intact microscopic areas, which makes the recovery process almost invisible from the outside, that is, there is no transition point between the restored skin, no swelling and bumps.
After the procedure, the face is treated with a special emollient solution, it is not recommended to use decorative cosmetics for a few hours and stay in the sun for a long time. Otherwise, there are no contraindications, although most experts recommend that you do not visit the beach and solarium in the first days after the sessions, and also do not expose your face to strong weather conditions and contact with salt or chlorinated water.
