A modern technique in cosmetology is laser facial rejuvenation, which allows you to effectively combat aging-related changes. The device for the procedure is a representative of a new generation of lasers for fractional treatment, which allows to affect the epidermis smoothly and safely.
Before starting anti-aging recovery sessions, it is important to familiarize yourself with the list of indications and contraindications, as well as to know the nuances of technology and methods of exposure.
The essence of fractional technology
Laser facial rejuvenation is based on fractional technology, its essence is in the non-surgical restoration of the turgor, elasticity, general recovery and activation of the synthesis.
The action on the epidermis and the inner layers of the skin is carried out by the work of laser beams, passed through the fractional separating network. It is capable of dividing the bundle into several finer micro bundles, as a result of which a point effect on the state of the tissues is provided.
Locally directed action does not damage adjacent areas of the skin. The micro-wounds left by the laser create a stressful thermal shock state for the cells.
Active division begins, accelerated synthesis of collagen-elastin fibers occurs, which are responsible for the youth and elasticity of the epidermis. With age, the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers slows down, which leads to visible tissue prolapse, the appearance of wrinkles, sagging, ptosis.
Fractional technology provides instant stimulation of all physiological processes that occur in the deep layers of the epidermis. The micro-damages start to actively heal, which leads to a natural reduction of the flap of the epidermis, provides a powerful lift in combination with accelerated wound healing.
The fractional action contributes to the creation of a newly formed subcutaneous collagen structure, accelerated synthesis of cells and substances, activation of physiological microprocesses. In the complex, such action of a laser beam passed through a fractional network leads to natural rejuvenation, the pores are narrowed, a healthy complexion returns and the relief is smoothed.
At what age is the procedure indicated
The laser rejuvenation procedure is effective and safe, but according to experts, there are age restrictions regarding its implementation.
Fractional technology is not recommended for use before the age of 17, as at this age the formation of skin structures continues, there is a possibility of deep damage to the skin. In addition, laser rejuvenation should not be used after the age of 60, during this period, all the body's recovery processes slow down.
The ideal age to start procedures is after 25-30 years, when the first signs of skin aging appear. The intensity of the course and the regularity of the sessions are calculated by the cosmetologist according to the indications, based on the individual characteristics.
Indications for laser rejuvenation procedure
Laser facial rejuvenation is a safe fractional technology that is a powerful stimulant to activate internal processes.
The procedures are carried out according to the following indications:
- Opaque complexion, hyperpigmentation.
- The presence of age-related changes, deep wrinkles in the eye area, nasolabial wrinkles.
- Dark circles and dark circles.
- Tendency to demodicosis, dilated vessels.
- Negative changes in the texture of the epidermis.
- Pronounced relief, presence of scars and scars on the skin.
- Loss of clarity of the lines, swollen oval face.
- Tendency to acne, traces of acne and post-acne, enlarged pores.
Cosmetologists recommend laser therapy to prevent aging processes, profound renewal and restoration of the skin's structure.
Contraindications
Despite the general beneficial effect of the laser on the epidermis, some contraindications should be familiarized before laser therapy sessions.
Fractional rejuvenation is not recommended:
- prone to keloid scars;
- during pregnancy and lactation;
- in case of exacerbation of herpes infection;

- with immunity deficiency;
- skin infections, focal skin rashes, skin diseases (psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis);
- epilepsy, autoimmune diseases.
The use of a laser beam after chemical peels is not recommended; a period of at least 2 weeks must pass. Before starting the procedure, the patient should consult a doctor to rule out contraindications that can lead to negative consequences.
Benefits
Fractional laser technology has many advantages over analogues of cosmetic procedures:
- Laser beams, passing through the fractional network, act punctually, without damaging the adjacent areas of the epidermis.
- After laser exposure, no scars, burns or other severe marks remain on the skin.
- Rehabilitation after procedures takes no more than 3-4 days, usually without complications.
- Laser technology is effective, as a specialist can treat a large area of skin in 1 session. The result is noticeable a few days after 1 session.
- The procedure is non-invasive, safe, there is no risk of infection. The laser beam works without contact on the surface, but the thermal radiation penetrates deeply into the tissue.
Laser rejuvenation is a painless technology, during sessions patients can feel a slight tingling sensation, without great discomfort.
One of the main advantages of the method is its versatility, since the most delicate and vulnerable areas to pain can be subjected to a fractional treatment - the area around the eyes, the neckline, the cervical area. The method can be used for any skin type, regardless of color type and texture characteristics.
Peculiarity of grinding with transparent gloss
Laser facial rejuvenation is a hardware method performed by certified specialists in a clinic. The innovative fractional device Clear Brilliant belongs to the new generation of equipment.
This is a highly sensitive instrument that allows you to control the intensity and depth of exposure to laser micro-beams, which makes the device one of the safest. The directed action of the scattered light beam penetrates to the necessary depth, does not hurt the neighboring areas, does not cause swelling, redness.
The operating principle is to focus the beam with a built-in manipulator and penetrate to a depth of no more than 0. 4 mm. The beam diameter is regulated by a built-in optimization system, it is equipped with a uniform distribution system in motion.
The laser can be used for deep or surface grinding. The wavelength is adjustable in the range of 1440-1997 Nm, depending on the exposure method selected.
The thermal microtrauma occurs to activate the internal recovery processes and the microcirculation in the treatment areas. The laser acts delicately on the cortical layer, intensifying the natural processes of cellular rejuvenation and tissue renewal.
Can be used for any phototype, including tanned or brown skin. One of the advantages of the device is the painless procedures, the short recovery period, in addition to the speed in processing large areas of the epidermis in a single procedure.
Due to its wide range of applications, the laser can be used not only for facial rejuvenation, but also in complex programs to restore the elasticity of the skin of the mammary glands, inner surface of the arms and thighs.
The operating principle of this laser is identical to that of other non-abilative fractional devices, but implemented with maximum security. The most effective method of laser treatment using professional cosmeceuticals.
The sessions are a synthesis of laser exposure and the supply of biologically active components to eliminate age-related problems, restore skin elasticity and youth.
It is possible to remove pigmentation
Modern laser technologies in cosmetology are actively used to eliminate hyperpigmentation. The intensely colored areas look unsightly, they may be the result of age-related changes or individual characteristics of melanin production in the skin.
The essence of the procedure for removing age spots by the fractional method consists of a local effect on the lower layers of the skin, but without violating the integrity of the subcutaneous layers.
The fractional laser beam has a depressive effect on melanin, which is responsible for the appearance of age spots. The number of sessions to eliminate pigmentation is determined by a cosmetologist after assessing the condition of the skin, the characteristics of the type of color, as well as the severity of the color of the spots.
The laser can remove:
- freckles;
- "sunspots";
- age-related hyperpigmentation;
- melasma;
- pigmented changes after trauma;
- epidermal moles.
The result is the destruction of melanin in the treated area, cell renewal with normalization of the accumulation of healthy pigment. As a result, the pigmentation gradually peels along with the keratinized layer of the epidermis.
How is the procedure going
Laser facial rejuvenation is an effective and complex procedure that is performed in a salon or specialized clinic.
Before starting the course, minimum training is required: do not sunbathe 2 weeks before the procedure, do not clean the area with alcohol-based products, exclude chemical peels and aggressive cosmetic procedures.
It is recommended that you stop taking antibiotics, sulfonamides and anticoagulants.
Standard session algorithm:
- a consultation is made, an evaluation of the condition of the skin is made, a medical questionnaire is filled out with the exception of possible contraindications.
- The sites are degreased with a special alcohol-free compound before laser treatment.
- The organs of vision must be protected with special glasses to avoid damage to the mucous membrane of the eyes.
- Using the fractional mouthpiece, the doctor makes 2-3 passes through the treatment areas. The laser heats the areas, the duration of the pulse, the depth of penetration of the beam is regulated by the cosmetologist.
- After the session, a special soothing composition is applied to the skin, as well as a regenerating mask that promotes the healing of micro-wounds.
The specialist can recommend the use of an anesthetic ointment to relieve pain in the most sensitive areas.
During the procedure, patients may experience a slight tingling sensation.
Recovery after laser resurfacing
The skin after laser resurfacing needs careful care, as the internal regenerative processes are activated. After laser therapy, the skin is more sensitive to the sun, so before you leave, you should apply a protective cream with a factor of at least SPF 35.
The post-procedure period includes the following activities:
- It is not recommended to go to the solarium or sunbathe for 2 weeks.
- Avoid thermal treatments, baths and saunas, as well as the swimming pool, as the skin is more sensitive. It is recommended to take a hot bath instead of a hot bath for 3 days.
- It is strictly forbidden to perform chemical peels, deep scouring pads, so as not to injure the epidermis.
- Provides maximum hydration, apply hyaluronate based creams and masks.
- Instead of washing, clean the laser-treated areas with antiseptics.
- Avoid applying alcohol-based products to the treated areas, as they can cause dryness and irritation.
After exposure to the laser, the skin may show a slight redness, after which it begins to peel. The scabs cannot be removed; this can damage the structure of the epidermis. A moisturizing ointment helps to soften the skin.
The application of decorative cosmetics is allowed up to 2 days after the session, but products with the most natural and light composition should be chosen. Proper care promotes rapid recovery, eliminates the development of negative side reactions. For a complete restoration, the cosmetologist may recommend taking vitamins, washing with boiled ozonated water.
