Designed to eliminate the age changes of the skin, provoked by endogenous and exogenous factors. Non-ablative laser rejuvenation is also called "thermal lift". Its effect is similar to the impact of radio wave facelift, but the procedures have some fundamental differences.
Non-ablative laser rejuvenation is built on the conversion of light energy into heat. Heating effect which has a beneficial effect on metabolic and biochemical reactions in the cell and the extracellular matrix of the skin. In particular, it starts the formation of new collagen fibers.
Non-ablative laser rejuvenation of the tissue are heated to 45-85°C, which is sufficient for complete ablation (temperature of evaporation), but the process is enough to start the process of denaturation and coagulation of the most important proteins in our skin, collagen and etc radiation, which is absorbed into the skin of the substance, and then, past the epidermis, partially penetrates into the dermis, which also provides antibacterial.
The main goal of laser resurfacing – prevention of progression of age-related changes and improve the quality characteristics of the skin. The procedure is recommended in patients 25-40 years of age maintain a youthful skin. In some cases it is prescribed for medical reasons (for example, in the treatment of chronic acne).
For such a laser treatment, there are different types of lasers: neodymium, diode, erbium (erbium-glass). Wavelength ranges 532-1540 nm.
Indications for laser rejuvenation are the following problems:
Non-ablative laser rejuvenation can be a solid and current mode. In the first case, exposure is performed on the entire surface of the skin, and in the second laser operates at a certain point (fraction). A special type of procedure chosen by the beautician on the basis of the testimony and the original data.
Non-ablative laser rejuvenation is less traumatic in any way. The surface layer of the skin is not exposed to degradation or destruction, so the rehabilitation period is missing. Rejuvenating effect of the procedure is slow and has a tendency to accumulate. The goal of laser resurfacing is gradual through the skin remodeling.
The relative disadvantage of laser resurfacing is the necessity of establishing a complete cycle of treatment. Normally, to achieve good results needed from 3 to 10 sessions with a time interval of 10-30 days. In the treatment of acne/post acne, this therapy allows to achieve the best results.
Rehabilitation is simple, so that the patient does not feel any characteristic of its discomfort and the need for long-term recovery.
Feature of laser peels and resurfacing of complications or consequences of the procedure, laser rejuvenation barely felt. In the first 1-2 days may be a slight skin redness and increased temperature. Then these symptoms disappear, not leaving behind also exfoliating.
Rehabilitation after laser resurfacing does not require patient restrictions and medical manipulations, however, the cosmetologist would you a recommendation to consolidate the obtained effect.
Non-ablative laser rejuvenation can be safely attributed to the procedures "lunch break" – immediately after its completion, the patient can return to normal activities and to interact with people, not hesitating look.
It is understood that non-ablative laser resurfacing is in fact therapeutic, too soft and "tender" procedure, so that I expect that effect comparable with the effect of a surgical facelift - is naive. The process is suitable to maintain the face skin healthy and young state, but does not assume global anti-age results. Patients with obvious ptosis and sagging skin, dark and rich pigmentation, loose wrinkles and folds is more suitable for classical laser resurfacing or "fractional resurfacing" treatments with another activity.
The result of laser resurfacing will be many positive changes:
Non-ablative laser rejuvenation is suitable for those who want to protect against early aging, and those who do not consume a more aggressive laser treatments.
