Today in the beauty industry market you can find the richest variety of devices. Smart cars help us regain and maintain beauty. Let's talk in this article about the different types of laser devices for skin rejuvenation - which one to choose for a particular procedure, how it differs, and so on.
Laser skin tightening has long been an alternative to scalpels. This removal is a minimally invasive procedure, after which there are no stitches or a long recovery period. It is called fractional thermolysis because, during manipulation, the laser beam is divided into small beams (fractions), with the help of which a micro-mesh is created on the surface of the dermis. Actually, this is a micro level. The body begins to recover vigorously, producing collagen and elastin in the cells.
As a bonus of restoring skin structure, there is wrinkle smoothing, lightening of pigmented areas, skin improvement, and fighting scars and blemishes.
Oddities
There are several lines of modern laser systems in the cosmetics market. Almost all devices are able to adapt to the individual needs and problems of the customer. For example, thin or sensitive facial skin, a tendency to allergies, and so on.
Fractional rejuvenation techniques are divided as follows, depending on the intensity and depth of penetration:
Not ablative
In this technology, microtrauma is not formed - the laser beam does not "damage" the epidermis, the effect is only at a deep level. But the internal process of rejuvenation is still triggered, fibroblasts begin to be actively stimulated.
Ablative
In this case, the result of exposure to the laser beam is more pronounced - the tissue evaporates from the soybeans over the epidermis. This device is ideal for skin aging, successfully solving the problem of ptosis, deep wrinkles and strong pigmentation.
What are the lasers?
Laser skin tightening is usually done with two types of devices. Let me tell you more about them.
Carbon dioxide
First introduced to the market in the 80s, it was based on a carbon pulsed apparatus. The effect of the application is very large, however, the recovery period takes too long. Not all clients are able to undergo a recovery period of two to three months.
Erbium
But this model appeared in the 90s. Powered by crystals. Dissolves moisture in cells instantly, which is why there is a more targeted effect on the skin layers.
Some models of modern devices use additional capabilities derived from neodymium and thulium lasers.
The most popular brands are Palomar, Fraxel and GentleYAG.
Fraxel treats fine wrinkles, freckles, scars, evens facial skin, removes acne perfectly. Acting on the skin very delicately, you can successfully work even with thin and sensitive skin of the eyelids.
GentleYAG is used when it involves complex adoption. After the procedure, the pores shrink, wrinkles are smoothed, vascular network is reduced, and tissue relaxation disappears. A significant addition can be considered the possibility of such laser rejuvenation using this technology, even in the summer.
The well -known palomar is used by experts for a variety of purposes. This is a treatment of rosacea, and tightens the skin, and removes blemishes.
Instructions, prices and contraindications
This method will change over time, it is recommended to start from the age of 40-45 years. Lasers help in solving many problems:
- loose tissue;
- rosacea;
- blemishes, skin imperfections (scars, scars, marks after acne);
- lift;
- brightens and evens out the tone;
- wrinkle removal;
- pore narrowing;
- against freckles and age spots.
There are several advantages to working with this type of device. Anesthesia in this technology is not required, the recovery period as well, the effect can be seen immediately.
The cosmetologist is responsible for advising the client and choosing the appropriate therapy strategy - how many sessions are needed, what should be the depth of the beam.
Before the procedure, it is advisable to prepare the skin by doing a cleansing exfoliation. On average, the entire session takes five to 25 minutes. Finally, the technician will apply a special cooling gel to the treated area to reduce swelling and redness.
Prices in each region and salon are set separately. But let’s face it, fun isn’t cheap.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have oncology, diabetes mellitus, or have herpes or a skin disease, you should not do this type of rejuvenation technique.
