Non-ablative photorejuvenation is a modern cosmetic technology that improves the appearance and condition of the skin.
The medical effect of a laser can be ablative, based on the destruction of the superficial layers of the skin, or non-ablative, in which heating and possibly targeted destruction of the deeper tissues is achieved without damaging the superficial layers. The classic methods of laser cosmetology are ablative technologies - skin resurfacing, scar tissue removal. However, modern lasers can stimulate positive changes in the skin without significant damage. These influences are actively used to achieve an effect called photorejuvenation. Under the influence of a specially created ("enhanced") beam of light - hence the word "photo" smoothes small and medium wrinkles, improves complexion, restores skin's elasticity and smoothness; skin aging stops.
Photorejuvenation mechanism
With non-ablative photorejuvenation, the microbeam penetrates tissues to the required depth (up to 3 mm). When passing through the epidermis (superficial layer of skin), the bundle does not interact with it. In the deeper layers of the dermis, target (target) of penetration, under the influence of a light beam, a large amount of young collagen molecules is produced - a protein that forms the basis of the connective tissue and is responsible for its strength and elasticity . The energy from the laser pulse heats all layers of the skin, helping to improve microcirculation.
The best result is achieved in young and middle-aged people, that is, the method is more effective in correcting the first signs of skin aging (30-35 years old). This is due to the fact that the laser effect activates the body's own reactive forces, and age reduces its activity.
