Designed to eliminate age-related skin changes, caused by endogenous and exogenous factors. Non-ablative laser rejuvenation is also called "thermal lift". Its effect is similar to the effect of the radio wave facelift, but the procedures have some fundamental differences.
Non-ablative laser rejuvenation is based on the conversion of light energy into heat. Thermal effect has a beneficial effect on metabolic and biochemical reactions in the cell and the extracellular matrix of the skin. In particular, the process starts the formation of new collagen fibres.
Non-ablative laser rejuvenation of the tissue heated to 45-85°C, which is insufficient to complete the 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. the radiation is absorbed by the skin of substances, and then, bypassing the epidermis, partially penetrates into the dermis, and also provide an antibacterial effect.
The main goal of laser resurfacing – prevention of the progression of age-related changes and the improvement of the qualitative characteristics of the skin. The procedure is recommended in patients 25-40 years to keep the youth of the skin. In some cases it is prescribed for medical reasons (for example, in the treatment of acne).
For a laser treatment, there are different types of lasers: neodymium, diode, erbium (erbium glass). Wavelength ranges 532-1540 nm.
Indications for laser resurfacing are the following problems:
Non-ablative laser rejuvenation can be solid and the fractional method. In the first case, the exposure is performed on the entire surface of the skin, and in the second, the laser works on specific points (fraction). The specific type of procedure is chosen by the beautician, on the basis of the testimony and of the original data.
Non-ablative laser rejuvenation is less traumatic in any way. The surface layer of the skin is not subjected to degradation or destruction, so that the period of rehabilitation needed. Effect rejuvenating the procedure is slow and has a tendency to accumulate. The goal of laser resurfacing is gradual dermal remodeling.
The relative disadvantage of laser resurfacing is the need to complete a full course of treatments. Tend to get good results takes 3 to 10 sessions with a time interval of 10-30 days. When treating acne/post acne, this therapy allows to achieve the best results.
The rehabilitation is simple, so that the patient does not feel any characteristic of your discomfort and the need to prolong the recovery.
Feature of laser peels and resurfacing of complications or consequences of the intervention, laser resurfacing is almost not felt. In the first 1-2 days of may slight redness and increased temperature of the skin. Then, these symptoms disappear, not leaving behind even a peeling.
Rehabilitation after laser resurfacing does not require patient restrictions and medical manipulations, however, the cosmetologist should give you a recommendation to consolidate the results obtained to that effect.
Non-ablative laser rejuvenation can be attributed with certainty to procedures for "lunch" – immediately after its completion, the patient can return to your normal activities and to interact with the people, not doubting of the presentation.
You need to understand that non-ablative laser resurfacing is, in fact, therapeutic, too soft and "tender" procedure, so that the expectation of the effect comparable with the effect of a cleaning operation of the face - is naive. The procedure is adequate to maintain the face skin healthy and young from the state, but does not assume global anti-age results. Patients with obvious ptosis and sagging of the skin, dark and rich in pigmentation, lose the wrinkles and folds is more suitable for classical laser resurfacing or "fractional resurfacing" treatments with another activity.
The result of laser resurfacing will be a series of positive changes:
Non-ablative laser rejuvenation is suitable for those who want to protect against early aging, and those who do not consume more aggressive laser treatments.
A key condition to achieve visible effects of the laser resurfacing the following quantitative and interval scheme procedures chosen by the beautician.
