Laser facial peeling - reviews. Face after laser peeling - before and after photos

The essence of the laser peeling procedure

The essence of the laser peeling procedure is to remove dead layers of skin, as a result of which cells begin to produce collagen and renew themselves. For laser resurfacing, 2 types of lasers :

• The erbium laser is designed to penetrate minimally into the layers of the skin and is even approved for use in the eye and lip areas.
• The CO-2 carbon dioxide laser is able to penetrate into deeper layers.

Laser peeling of superficial and median exposure is carried out using two methods :

• A cold laser acts on the skin layer by layer, without heating the lower layers.
• The hot laser exfoliates skin cells, warming the lower layers and stimulating metabolic processes in them, which is much more effective at improving skin elasticity.

Both procedures are performed by a qualified cosmetologist under local anesthesia .
The procedure is completed by applying an anesthetic to the skin, after which the patient can go home. With deep laser peeling, the carbon dioxide laser penetrates much deeper than with the first two methods, so the risk of possible complications is much higher. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia in a specialized clinic.

Classification

The procedure is also classified according to the length of the beam and the depth of exposure. Thus, two more types are distinguished:

• deep peeling. With its help, in fact, a rejuvenating effect is achieved;
• surface. It is used mainly to level the upper layer of the epidermis. They also use it to smooth out fine wrinkles.

However, you should not think that the client is in charge of choosing the type of peeling. This is done by a cosmetologist, and all responsibility falls on him. To make a choice, he focuses on the indications, as well as the individual age characteristics of each client.

Laser peeling is different

What does your face look like immediately after laser peeling?

After laser peeling, redness and some swelling . Itching is also common as the skin undergoes healing processes. These symptoms last for about 3-5 days ; in some cases, this picture can last for 2-3 weeks . In general, laser peeling of superficial and medium penetration is very popular in cosmetology precisely because of the easy, fast and painless recovery period. Skin care during the rehabilitation period consists of applying cream at a certain frequency recommended by a cosmetologist. It happens that the consequences of laser peeling are redness, scars and age spots on the skin.

Contraindications

Contraindications for laser peeling are as follows:

• Skin inflammation.
• Purulent formations.
• Diabetes mellitus, both type 1 and type 2.

• Pregnancy is also a contraindication to laser peeling. It is better to reschedule your visit to a cosmetologist until after childbirth.
• A large number of pigment spots.

The cosmetologist must tell you about the presence of contraindications. If ignored, there can be serious consequences.

Effective results of laser peeling

With superficial and medium laser peeling, the recovery period lasts approximately 7-10 days . With deep laser resurfacing - up to 3-4-6 months . During the recovery period there is no need to be in hospital if there are no prerequisites for this in the form of complications. After laser peeling you can get the following:

This also includes the fact that the effect is observed only after a certain period of time. And it’s not a fact that the desired result will appear after one procedure.

There are few disadvantages to this procedure

Technique

Before starting the procedure, the cosmetologist selects the depth and intensity of laser exposure. These parameters depend on what result you want to achieve. If laser peeling is carried out to remove the stratum corneum, return a healthy color to the epidermis, and reduce the severity of wrinkles, then the effect of the beam will be superficial and soft. If it is necessary to reduce scars and pigmentation, then a deeper and more intense effect is necessary.

The cosmetologist applies an anesthetic cream to the cleansed skin. To protect the retina, the patient wears special glasses. If there are moles in the treated area, they are sealed with a special light-proof plaster.

Then the cosmetologist turns on the device and begins to treat the necessary areas. Modern devices have attachments that monitor the temperature in the treated area and prevent overheating.

Depending on the amount of work, the entire process takes from a few minutes to 1.5 hours. At the end, the cosmetologist applies a wound-healing cream with antiseptic substances to the skin.

Let's sum it up

Thus, to summarize all of the above, it can be noted that laser peeling will be an excellent option for those who need a radical method of facial rejuvenation. With this procedure, you can achieve not only a rejuvenating effect, but also noticeably tighten the shape of your face. However, it is worth remembering that the procedure requires a responsible attitude and mandatory medical examination to identify contraindications. In addition, after peeling you will need to provide careful facial care.

What effect do we get after finishing rehabilitation?

After the end of the rehabilitation period, the skin takes on a smoother appearance. Peeling eliminates irregularities on the surface of the skin, reduces the severity of age-related changes, age spots, scars, and enlarged pores. The procedure helps give the skin a natural and healthy appearance, increases the elasticity of the epidermis, and provides a light lifting effect.

Fractional rejuvenation for the treatment of scars and stretch marks

This rejuvenation method is especially effective in treating scar tissue. Fractional laser beams have the ability to crush roughened scar tissue, after which it acquires elasticity, softness, and the tension of the surrounding healthy tissue decreases.

Fractional photothermolysis helps reduce the area of ​​scars, making them elastic, unnoticeable, and as close as possible in appearance to healthy skin.

Fractional rejuvenation is indicated for the treatment of stretch marks. Sadly, stretch marks cannot be completely eliminated, you can only make them more invisible.

The effect of fractional treatment is:

• reducing the area of ​​stretch marks;
• reducing tissue fiber breaks;
• aligning the shade of stretch marks with the tone of healthy skin;
• increasing the elasticity and firmness of the skin tissue around and relieving tension.

Indications

Peeling is recommended for people with:

• age-related aging;
• pigmentation;
• scars;
• stretch marks;
• dark circles and wrinkles;
• enlarged vascular network;
• the appearance of folds on the skin;
• formation of burns;
• acne rash;
• manifestation of blackheads;
• the need to remove tattoos.

You can also use the service if there is a lack of collagen in the cells.

A lot can be corrected with laser peeling

Many people are interested in the question of whether this procedure can cause addiction to the skin. This is impossible, therefore, you can use laser peeling without fear that the epidermis will get used to the action of the laser.

Is advance preparation necessary?

Before the procedure, it is recommended to adhere to several important recommendations:

1. A week before peeling, soften the skin with cosmetics based on glycolic acid.
2. If skin healing is slow, it is better to pre-drink vitamins with omega-3 fatty acids.
3. It is better to quit smoking 2 weeks before the procedure, since this bad habit negatively affects the condition of blood vessels, which may delay the recovery process.
4. If you have a herpes infection, undergo antiviral therapy a week before the procedure so that peeling does not provoke new rashes.

Important!

Since laser irradiation can cause an exacerbation of existing diseases in the body, it is recommended to undergo a preliminary examination of the body to diagnose such conditions! To do this, you need to take a general urine and blood test. If there are any deviations from the norm, find out their cause and eliminate it!
