The laser beam has become a real breakthrough in the field of cosmetology. It was able to replace injections and operations in 75% of cases of skin defects.
Laser treatments not only successfully remove scars and blemishes, but also remove signs of aging.
What is that?
Laser rejuvenation is carried out with a special device.
The beam moves in a special "grip" along the body. The impulses penetrate the skin layers to a depth of 1 mm. Old cells are destroyed under the influence of high frequencies and heating. Intact tissues begin to respond by releasing increased amounts of elastin and collagen, which repair the damaged dermis. The renewed skin becomes denser and more elastic. The optimal temperature is selected for each skin area to avoid burns.
In this case, the treatment is carried out not only on the face, but also on other parts of the body. The thighs, abdomen, chest, forearms and hands suffer no less from age-related wear.
Due to the correct procedure, the effects are marked:
- visible smoothing of deep wrinkles;
- small facial wrinkles disappear;
- Discoloration of hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, post-acne, vascular network and scars;
- narrowing of enlarged pores;
- leveling the surface of the dermis;
- the appearance of a healthy complexion by stimulating blood circulation;
- Tightening the contours of the face and body.
After the first session, remarkable improvements can be seen. To consolidate a successful rejuvenation, 5 treatments of the problem area can be performed.
Types of laser tapering
There are several variations of this procedure. Each has its own characteristics. Choosing a variety for a single problem makes the solution as productive as possible.
- With penetration into the upper layers of the skin.Works best with small punctiform defects. A single surface beam is applied. Only the damaged area is exposed, healthy skin is not affected. The result is achieved quickly and lasts a long time. Works well on expression lines.
- No damage to the skin surface.Manifested perfectly in deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and sagging contours. A large area of skin is treated at a time (e. g. the entire face). The longest rays are used. Only the hidden layers of the dermis are affected, the surface remains intact. Heat spurs natural metabolic processes in cells. A pleasant side effect is the elimination of wide pores after acne.
- Biorevitalization.Impulses are given for a short time with several repetitions. Thus, the rays painlessly decompose dead cells and actively stimulate collagen production. Special cosmetics (usually hyaluronic acid) are used, which the laser delivers deep into the skin. The method is used in the fight against deep wrinkles, persistent expression lines. Has a cumulative effect. Biorevitalization is one of the best alternatives to injections.
- Surface renewal.The erbium or sapphire laser gently removes the top layers of the outdated epidermis. Younger tissue remains, which makes the skin look firmer and more even and fine wrinkles become invisible.
- 4D taper.Fastest view. A permanently visible result appears after the first procedure. 4 types of beams are used (FRAC3, SmothLiftin, SupErficial, PIANO). Such a combination improves deep processes, restores skin elasticity and freshness, copes with wrinkles of various sizes.

The laser is strictly forbidden during pregnancy for people with epilepsy, high blood pressure, type 1 diabetes mellitus, malignant neoplasms and mental disorders. When taking hormonal psychotropic drugs that provoke photosensitivity, attention should be paid to technology.
side effects
In the first hours (sometimes days) after the laser exposure, local itching and reddening of the skin can occur. Some patients experience peeling, scabs, and herpes disease exacerbation. In the absence of adequate care, cases of suppuration are known (contact with dirty hands, scratches, early use of cosmetics).
Scars and pigmentation are detected when the patient deliberately obscures information about the medication and pathological conditions taken.
The main prevention of side effects is the use of soothing ointments and creams based on panthenol with a sun protection factor of more than 15 units.
Temporary abstinence from steam (sauna, steam bath), antibiotics and hormones, avoidance of aggressive skin care products, visiting a solarium and sun exposure are important help.
Laser rejuvenation has many advantages. A major disadvantage for some users is the amount required. How much you need to invest depends on the number of procedures required. A portable device for home use can be an optimal replacement for salon visits. The desired device can be selected according to the manufacturer's descriptions and recommendations.
