How is laser rejuvenation performed?
Immediately before the start of the procedure, deep cleaning of the face is necessary, for which gentle exfoliating and exfoliating compositions are used. Laser treatment is performed exclusively on clean skin.
Depending on the desired end result, both individual areas of the face and the entire surface of the skin 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 deeply into the skin, heating its internal layers, actively reducing the old collagen fibers, which automatically triggers the production of new ones. Laser facial rejuvenation is performed with pulses of 0, 2 to 0, 5 ms in duration, which is absolutely safe and without risks to human health.
The result of laser exposure to the skin are newly formed recovery spots - separate areas of the face, where the active process of natural elastin production occurs. A great advantage is the fact that the outer layer of the skin has microscopic areas intact, which makes the recovery process almost invisible externally, that is, there are no transition points between the renewed skin, no bumps and bumps.
After the process is finished, the face is treated with a special emollient solution, it is not recommended to use decorative cosmetics for several hours and stay in the sun for a long time. Otherwise, there are no contraindications, although most experts recommend that in the first days after the sessions you do not visit the beach and the solarium, and also do not expose your face to severe weather and contact with salt or chlorinated water.
