How is laser rejuvenation performed?
Immediately before the procedure, a deep cleansing of the face is required, for which soft scrubs and exfoliating compositions are used. Laser treatment is performed exclusively on clean skin.
Depending on the desired end result, both individual areas of the face and the entire skin surface can be treated with a laser. The best option is to rejuvenate not only the face but also the neck and décolleté.
The laser beam penetrates deep into the skin, heating its inner layers, thus actively reducing old collagen fibers, which automatically triggers the production of new ones. Laser facial rejuvenation is performed with pulses lasting from 0. 2 to 0. 5 ms, which is absolutely safe and does not pose a risk to human health.
The result of laser exposure of the skin are newly formed foci of recovery - individual areas of the face where the active process of natural elastin production takes place. A huge plus is the fact that the outer layer of the skin has intact microscopic areas, this makes the recovery process almost invisible from the outside, ie there are no transition points between the renewed skin, no swelling and puffiness.
After the end of the process the face is treated with a special emollient solution, it is not recommended to use decorative cosmetics for several hours and to stay in the sun for a long time. Otherwise, there are no contraindications, although most experts recommend not to visit the beach and the solarium in the first days after the sessions, and also not to expose your face to strong cracking and contact with salt or chlorinated water.
