Laser facial rejuvenation is one of the most effective methods for non-surgical face lifts.
Despite the fact that this is a fairly common practice, many myths have grown up about it.
Debunking 6 Popular Myths About Laser Facial Rejuvenation.
This is not the case, as laser rejuvenation can be used not only to correct age-related changes, but also to combat sunburn, age spots, scars and post-acne.
This is the most common misconception. Lasers differ in wavelength, pulse frequency, power and depth of impact. The choice of laser depends on the specific problem. Fractional lasers are most effective for correcting age-related changes, but ablative and non-ablative techniques are used for extensive lesions, pigmentation, and post-acne scars.
Yes and no. Of course, the elasticity and quality of the skin will improve after the first procedure. However, to get rid of deep defects and visible rejuvenation of the skin, treatment (2-3 procedures) is required, and to maintain the effect, 1-2 sessions are required throughout the year.
Laser treatments can be performed in the summer, but a lower power laser is used that does not affect the upper layers of the skin. The appearance of the pigmentation is not influenced by the procedure itself, but by exposure to sunlight.
After laser rejuvenation, it is important to protect the skin from sun damage, e. g. B. by applying an SPF 50 cream or wearing a hat.
As with any procedure, complications after laser rejuvenation are possible but extremely rare. One of the complications, called the "gauze effect", is a network of scars on the surface of the skin. The long-term manifestation of this effect is a consequence of the low qualification of the beautician. The specialist could not determine the thickness of the epidermis and the regenerative properties of the skin, so he chose the wrong parameters of the laser action.
Modern technologies for laser rejuvenation offer a shorter rehabilitation time. For example, with laser biorevitalization, rehabilitation lasts up to 3 days and consists in limiting the amount of time in the sun, in the bath, and refusing cosmetics. The rehabilitation phase for fractional laser rejuvenation lasts a week. It is important to follow the beautician's recommendations, as this will avoid complications and reduce the rehabilitation time.
