No woman wants to grow old, so she strives with all her might to prolong her youth and get rid of age-related changes. You can get rid of it with cosmetics. Of course, these cosmetics are very expensive, but beauty requires sacrifices. In addition, cosmetic products do not always help to eliminate all the ailments of the fairer sex of different ages.
In addition, a representative of the weaker sex can perform a special cosmetic operation for herself, which will help her get rid of all the shortcomings.
What is laser facial rejuvenation
It is a correction that requires a careful and responsible approach.
With this procedure, the fair sex can:
- get rid of age spots, wrinkles;
- correct areas of sagging.
In addition, when using laser facial rejuvenation, the patient may:
- reduce pore size;
- make the skin of the face more uniform and give it a more natural color;

The procedure is performed for women over 30 and under 50. The laser beam has the same effect on the tissues of any woman. But whether or not it is possible to achieve this effect on a particular patient, only the doctor will tell.
The laser facial skin rejuvenation procedure has both positive and negative qualities.
For example, the procedure:
- Leaves no scars or other unpleasant marks. This is because the laser beam has a point effect on the problem area. After 3-4 days, all unpleasant symptoms will go away on their own.
- Helps treat problems affecting most of the skin. It also makes the skin more aesthetic.
- Does not cause painful sensations in the patient. During exposure, a representative of the weaker sex may feel a slight tingling sensation, but in this case it is not necessary to use anesthetics.
- Helps rejuvenate the area where the patient most often experiences severe pain. The procedure is performed on the neck, décolleté, skin around the eyes, ie. i. e. in places where other cosmetic procedures cannot be performed.
In addition to the positive, this procedure also has negative qualities.
For example, here is the procedure:
- It has a much lower effect compared to conventional surgery. Usually the effect lasts for 5 years, then the patient will have to start the procedure again.
- Will not help get rid of deep wrinkles.
- It comes at a very high cost. If the patient knows that she cannot cope with all the shortcomings of a procedure, then she will have to save some money for a second procedure.
Causes and indications
Facial rejuvenation is a useful procedure, but it cannot be performed by all the fairer sex.
For example, it is performed if a woman has:
- wrinkles. In addition, the procedure helps to get rid of deep and non-deep wrinkles;
- the first age-related skin changes;
- decrease in skin tone;
- heterogeneous skin tone;
- lots of moles, warts;
- numerous vascular patterns located on the surface of the face;
- Black dots.
And also the procedure helps to shrink large pores, get rid of blackheads and acne.
Types, methods and principles of laser rejuvenation surgery
Traditionally, laser facial rejuvenation is divided by women into several main types.
Ladies can spend:
- Fractional ablative rejuvenation. Such an operation is very common among citizens. It helps get rid of small flaws. In addition, the specialist has a point effect on the problem area with a laser. If a woman has many different defects, the procedure is carried out as part of a course. Usually the course consists of 6-7 procedures. In addition, the process of forming new cells depends on the area in which the impact was made. In some women, the integrity of adjacent tissues also suffers during the procedure. And for some ladies, she is not in pain at all.
- Laser biorevitalization. During the procedure, the doctor effectively and quickly removes deep wrinkles, old scars, but does not perform full-fledged surgery for the fairer sex. At the same time, during the operation, the doctor acts with short-term impulses on the upper layers of the epidermis. Thanks to this, cells divide faster, the body's collagen production process is activated, damaged skin is restored. The newly formed fabrics look fresh, renewed, elastic, they have a completely new structure. During the procedure, a specialist applies a special preparation to the surface of the skin, which, with the help of a laser beam, quickly penetrates into the deep layers of the epidermis. Thus, the skin is hydrated, its condition improves.
- Non-ablative rejuvenation. This procedure is very different from the effect in which the doctor uses conventional long laser beams. Such an effect not only helps to get rid of age-related changes, but also removes scars, acne and age spots. In addition, during the procedure, several defects located on the surface of the face are eliminated at the same time.
- Laser resurfacing. This procedure is performed with a sapphire or erbium laser. The rays have a gentle effect on the skin, help to give the skin a toned appearance and restore its former elasticity. The procedure helps get rid of acne breakouts, tighten the oval of the face.
- Peeling. The procedure is performed with a carbon dioxide or erbium laser. But when using a carbon dioxide laser, scars can appear in the fairer sex. The Erbium beam has a shallower insertion depth, but it only removes dead areas located on the surface of the skin. This procedure takes 30 minutes. But you need to perform at least 3 procedures, and the interval between exposures should be at least 5 days.
- DOT optical or skin thermolysis. This is a completely new procedure that helps a woman rejuvenate her skin. And such an effect also helps get rid of localized blemishes on the skin around the eyes. In this case, the beam is embedded at a shallow depth, therefore any exposure is done using an erbium laser beam. This has a one-time effect on the problem area, so the procedure becomes less dangerous for humans. To achieve the desired effect, just do one session.
- Fractional photorejuvenation. This is a laser procedure that helps get rid of old skin particles. This effect helps to improve the elasticity and tone of the skin, making it fresher and the person's face rested. All the parameters required for the device are first selected by the doctor on the computer. Thanks to this, this operation is considered safe. After such a procedure, the skin becomes smoother, the surface of the face is smoothed, acquires all the properties inherent in new and renewed skin.
The first age-related changes appear precisely on the skin around the eyes. It is here that the first wrinkles are formed, the bags in the fairer sex and the skin sags. These signs make a woman age, but the lady cannot perform physical cosmetic procedures.
Currently, it is fractional photorejuvenation that is especially in demand among citizens, because it is a simple and safe method of correction, after which complications almost never appear in patients.
After this procedure:
- reduction in pore size;
- the skin becomes more uniform and acquires a natural color;
- the fair sex may no longer see the first signs of aging on their face;
- the vascular network is completely eliminated;
- almost no age spot is visible;
- the skin becomes softer. In addition, no additional cosmetic product is required.
In addition, laser facial rejuvenation is carried out with different lasers.
Laser used:

In addition, such a laser helps to get rid of moles, warts and fine wrinkles. In addition, the laser helps to get rid of the initial stage of cancer.
- Erbium. It's less intense, but very precise. It's much better than carbon dioxide and laser. After such exposure, the patient does not have age spots. Such a laser helps in getting rid of wrinkles located on the skin near the eyes and also helps in removing fine wrinkles.
- Diode. It is the most famous cosmetic laser. It warms the deep layers of the skin, activates the process of collagen and elastin production by the body.
- Fraxel. A gas laser is used here. It has a wide spectrum of action. Such a laser rejuvenates the cells of the face, accelerates the process of their regeneration.
In addition, during the procedure, the following are used:
- Vascular laser. It helps to get rid of spider veins and asterisks localized on the surface of the skin. A device with such a laser first cools the skin, so that the risk of burns in a woman is minimized. In addition, during the procedure, the doctor affects the problem area not with just one, but with several rays at once. One is the target of the other. In this case, the hemoglobin warms up, the vessel is sealed and disappears from the surface of the skin.
- Neodymium laser. It is a very powerful laser that penetrates the deep layers of the skin. Such a laser helps to get rid of scars, scars, spider veins.
