Due to various circumstances, the skin sometimes needs serious treatment and improvement of appearance. Among a large number of cosmetology services, a special place is taken by such procedure as laser skin resurfacing. Let us consider in more detail the principle of the operation of this method, the indications for its use, efficiency.
Fractional laser skin resurfacing - what is it?
The method, also called DOT-therapy, consists in the fact that the laser beam of the CO2 laser penetrates into the precisely defined zones of the skin tissue at a calculated depth. The impact of the beam causes moisture in the treated cells to evaporate intensively, which causes the damaged tissues to die off and gradually peel off. In addition, laser resurfacing significantly stimulates the synthesis of collagen fibers, the production of elastin, the regeneration of the skin. The effect of lifting continues for 3 years after a number of procedures.
Indications for laser grinding:
- wrinkles;
- withering of the skin, flabbiness;
- expanded pores;
- decreased elasticity, tone of skin;
- dark spots;
- postakne;
- scars and scars;
- stretch marks, striae.
Laser resurfacing of the skin of the face from scars and scars
Uneven skin relief, pronounced traces of injuries not only cause physical discomfort, but also psychological. Thanks to laser grinding, you can forget about such problems.
Depending on the degree of defects and the amount of healed tissue, a course of procedures is prescribed, from 2 to 5 sessions with a break of 30 days. At each stage, there is a gradual removal of connective tissues and the upper skin layer, so that even deep scars effectively smooth out and brightens. It should be noted that laser resurfacing provokes a rapid regeneration of cells, due to which scars are aligned not only during the procedure, but also the entire subsequent period until the next session.
Laser skin resurfacing
DOT-therapy is safe even for thin and sensitive skin around the eyes. A few sparing effects of the laser produce the following effect:
- elimination of wrinkles in the corners of the eyes;
- Suspension of sagging skin of upper lower eyelid;
- reduction of swelling;
- pronounced lifting of the skin around the eyes.
This method is an excellent alternative to blepharoplasty - plastic surgery, since the recovery period of laser resurfacing is 10-14 days and proceeds without pain.
Naturally, DOT-therapy similarly affects the entire skin of the face, so in laser cosmetology is very popular laser resurfacing for rejuvenation and wrinkle removal.
Laser reshaping from stretch marks
Fractional polishing reduces the severity of stretch marks and striae, normalizes the pigmentation of the skin in damaged areas, smooths the relief. The laser removes all irregularities of the skin, has a stimulating effect on fibroblasts (skin cells that produce elastin and collagen).
Especially effective is laser resurfacing in the abdomen and chest area for women newly mothers. Postpartum striae, even deep enough, are painlessly removed in 3-5 procedures. The results of laser resurfacing are retained for up to 5 years and more with proper skin care.
