Laser facial rejuvenation is a non-surgical method and helps people who want to get rid of age-related changes in the skin. Modern cosmetology offers a variety of laser-based procedures that are excellent alternatives to plastic surgery.
What is the technique?
The laser method means restoring the youthfulness of the skin in a very short time. The process uses a special device that emits radiation of different intensities. The efficiency of the technique is very high, so the positive result is immediately visible. Laser renewal of the skin around the eyes is a rather expensive and tedious procedure.
The number of procedures and the duration of the session are selected individually by the physician. The standard procedure consists of 5 sessions, with a monthly break. This approach has a limited effect on the skin. The process has a cumulative effect as the natural processes of collagen and elastin production in the inner layers of the skin are revived after 1 session. Fractional skin rejuvenation can improve its condition. As a result, it becomes more flexible and denser
The cost of the procedure is affected by:
- laser quality;
- is the number of areas to handle;
- the price of the care products used during the session;
- Beauty salon reputation and beautician qualifications.
Perform laser rejuvenation
Laser rejuvenation is performed only on clean skin. The method consists of the fractional operation of the laser. There are photocells on the surface of a special device that are responsible for the penetration of the laser into the skin.
As a result of the operation of the laser, it wakes up the cells with the help of heat flow, and those that are unable to function die. Healthy cells replace dead cells, thereby increasing the levels of elastin and collagen in the skin. This results in minor damage to the epidermis.
A special device passes through the skin very quickly, a delay of just one minute can cause severe burns. Can be used to treat the entire surface or areas of the facial skin.
Renewing the face makes it visible with a laser:
- improved skin color;
- face oval pulled;
- the bags under the eyes are gone;
- Small and medium wrinkles are less visible.
The big plus of this method of facial rejuvenation is that there are no characteristic transition points in the outer layer of the skin between the renewed dermis, no tubers and swelling. As a result, the external recovery process is almost invisible.
The laser rejuvenation method can also be used to improve the results of laser staining and plastic surgery. After completing the procedure, the face is treated with a special emollient solution.
After laser facial skin renewal, beauticians suggest a number of important rules for a few days:
- Avoid sunlight.
- Do not use makeup.
- Do not go to the solarium and the beach.
- Do not expose your face to strong winds, chlorinated water or salt water.
Advantages of the laser method
This facial rejuvenation method allows large areas of skin to be processed in one procedure, while the regenerating resource is preserved and revitalized. As a result, rehabilitation begins quickly and a long-term increase in positive effect can be observed
Fractional laser rejuvenation is performed with a point effect so that the epidermis is minimally damaged. Traces disappear within 3-4 days. No anesthesia required.
Side effects are rare. In some cases it is:
- itching that goes away in a short time;
- temporary red spots;
- activating herpes;
- Exfoliation and burns;
- bark.
You must perform 4-8 sessions for complete rejuvenation. How many procedures are needed for you depending on the age and condition of your skin. This question can be answered by a trained beautician. There should be a break of 2-3 weeks between procedures.

Types of laser rejuvenation
There are two types of laser rejuvenation that differ in the mode and depth of exposure: The first method of laser rejuvenation of the facial skin is a procedure that removes superficial microscopic areas of the skin. In this case, the penetration of the laser beam is performed to a depth of 1. 5 mm, thus:
- the skin is stretched;
- regeneration processes are activated;
- skin improves and becomes smoother.
A positive result is immediately visible. This method is used to lift the face, ensure the ideal appearance of the skin, and eliminate skin disorders, such as when treating acne.
This procedure is great for eliminating inaccuracies, such as:
- mimic wrinkles;
- scars;
- pigmentation and other.
The second method of laser rejuvenation is the penetration of the laser beam into the deeper layers of the skin - about 3-5 mm. In this case, the face is exposed with long laser beams. The upper layers of the epidermis are not affected, rejuvenation should be done from the inside.
This partial laser facial skin rejuvenation promotes the regeneration of deep skin layers. It helps to activate metabolic processes and is also needed to create a more durable collagen framework. This increases the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
This procedure is very serious. Very deep scars, severe rashes, and when the face is hit by chemicals. The main advantage of this method is the complete absence of a recovery period. It differs from ablative in that the entire surface of the face is processed at once.
Experts recommend that these two types of laser facial rejuvenation be performed simultaneously to achieve maximum effect and maximize activation of tissue repair processes.
4D Rejuvenation
4D laser rejuvenation is one of the safest ways to remove and tighten stains. This method takes place in four stages. The skin is exposed to a neodymium laser. The beautician arranges the facial tissues on the inside and outside of the face. The work is done in different ways, reinforcing each other’s activities.
- The first step is to lift from the inside of the faces, around the nose and lips. The device has a special device that is placed in the oral cavity. The folds in the lips and nose are displaced and visually balanced. The laser beam affects the deeper layers, thereby causing the collagen to be produced. As a result, the structure of the deep layers is stretched.
- The third stage helps to restore all layers of skin: deep, middle and superficial. The biorevitalizing effect is provided by the tissues, as they receive a lot of painless amounts of heat.
- The fourth stage is based on cold exfoliation technology, in which the surface of the skin is polished. The beautician removes the epidermis layer. As a result, 4D facial rejuvenation results in radiant skin. This result is available 1 time. All four steps are performed sequentially within 1 procedure, without interruption.
The technique has certain advantages. One of the key benefits of the procedure is the painlessness. Painless laser effect does not damage gums, teeth and oral mucosa
Other positive elements include:
- efficiency;
- fast and consistent results;
- smaller recovery period;
- The possibility to complete the procedure at any time of the year.
DOT Rejuvenating Innovation
Renewing DOT is a new, modern cosmetology method that uses the latest technologies. This procedure is performed in very effective, progressive cosmetology centers and plastic surgery clinics. This system is a versatile solution to skin aging problems caused by the natural biological decline of muscle and connective tissue.
DOT laser skin rejuvenation uses a special laser with a special wavelength.
Fractional laser radiation occurs in the deep layers of the skin:
- Restoration of lymph and blood flow;
- increased elastin and collagen production;
- enhancing connective tissue regeneration;
- increased skin turgor;
- absorption of age spots, vascular networks and nodules
During DOT rejuvenation, the device has a gentle effect on the skin, which means that you can perform the rejuvenation procedure on the eyelids, neck and décolleté. The intensity of the sensations during the session depends on the sensitivity of the skin, the pain threshold, and the strength of the device’s sensors. In order to make the patient more comfortable during rejuvenating manipulations, one method of local anesthesia is recommended at the site where the laser is to be treated.
The DOT procedure gradually gives a positive result. First, the patient is unable to assess the consequences because of swelling and redness. The optimal effect will only be visible after 14 days.
Neodymium facial rejuvenation method
The neodymium laser rejuvenation method is a new, very effective method. During manipulation, heat energy enters the skin with a neodymium laser, which affects the fibers of the collagen. This leads to the fact that the skin cover is tightened, initiating the processes of recovery and renewal
As a result of the procedure it is possible to:
- improves the condition of the skin;
- refresh the color and improve the contour of the face;
- reduces, evens out fine lines, vascular formations and age spots;
- improves skin firmness and density.
The neodymium facial rejuvenation method lasts for at least 12 months. Its effectiveness can be increased if peeling is performed before the procedure. This approach promotes better and deeper contact of the laser beams with the skin structure.
