How does it work? When exposed to a focused laser beam, microdamage to the skin tissue results from a "column" or "cone" perpendicular to the surface of the skin. The cells surrounding the microdamage go into a state of heat shock, causing them to begin actively dividing to repair the area of ​​skin at the site of the microdamage. As a result, it leads to tightening of the damaged area, which gives the skin smoothing, practical erasure of wrinkles and a noticeable lifting effect.
