A modern technique in cosmetology is laser facial rejuvenation, which allows you to effectively combat age-related changes. The device for the procedure is a representative of a new generation of lasers for fractional treatment, which allows you to gently and safely affect the epidermis.
Before embarking on anti-aging recovery sessions, it is important to familiarize yourself with the list of indications and contraindications, as well as to learn the nuances of technology and methods of exposure.
The essence of fractional technology
Laser facial rejuvenation is based on fractional technology, its essence is non-surgical restoration of turgor, elasticity, general recovery and activation of synthesis.
The action on the epidermis and the internal layers of the skin is carried out thanks to the work of beams of laser beams, passed through the fractional separation network. It is able to divide the beam into several of the thinnest micro-beams, as a result of which a point effect on the condition of tissues is provided.
The locally directed action does not damage adjacent skin areas. The micro-wounds left by the laser create a stressful state of heat shock for the cells.
They begin the active division, an accelerated synthesis of collagen-elastin fibers occurs, responsible for the youth and elasticity of the epidermis. With age, the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers slows down, this leads to visible tissue prolapse, the appearance of wrinkles, softness, ptosis.
Fractional technology provides instant stimulation of all physiological processes occurring in the deep layers of the epidermis. Microdamages begin to actively heal, which leads to natural reduction of the epidermis flap, provides a powerful lifting in combination with accelerated healing.
Fractional exposure contributes to the creation of a new subcutaneous collagen framework, accelerated synthesis of cells and substances, activation of physiological microprocesses. In the complex, such an action of a laser beam passed through a fractional network leads to natural rejuvenation, narrowed pores, 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 relative age restrictions for its implementation.
The use of fractional technology is not recommended before the age of 17, since at this age the formation of skin structures continues, there is a risk of deep skin damage. In addition, laser rejuvenation should not be used after age 60, during this period all recovery processes in the body slow down.
The optimal 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 sessions are calculated by the cosmetologist according to the indications, depending on individual characteristics.
Indications for the laser rejuvenation procedure
Laser Facial Rejuvenation is a safe fractional technology which is a powerful stimulant to activate internal processes.
The procedures are carried out according to the following indications:
- Dull complexion, hyperpigmentation.

Benefits
Fractional laser technology has many advantages over cosmetic-analogous procedures:
- The laser beams, crossing the fractional network, act punctually, without damaging the adjacent areas of the epidermis.
- After laser exposure, there are no scars, burns or other severe marks left on the skin.
- Rehabilitation after the procedures takes no more than 3-4 days, it usually proceeds without complications.
- Laser technology is effective, as a specialist can treat a large area of skin in 1 session. The result is noticeable in 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 deep into the tissue.
Laser rejuvenation is a painless technology, during the sessions, patients may experience a slight tingling sensation, without noticeable discomfort.
One of the main advantages of the method is its versatility, since the most delicate and pain-prone areas can be subjected to 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.
Special feature of grinding with Clear Brilliant
Laser facial rejuvenation is a material method performed by certified specialists in a clinic. The innovative Clear Brilliant fractional device belongs to the new generation of equipment.
This is a very sensitive instrument that allows you to control the intensity and depth of exposure to micro laser beams, which makes the device one of the safest. The directed action of the scattered light beam penetrates to the required depth, does not injure neighboring areas, does not cause swelling, redness.
The principle of operation consists of focusing the beam with an integrated manipulator and penetrating it to a depth not exceeding 0. 4 mm. The diameter of the beam is regulated by an integrated optimization system, it is equipped with a system of uniform distribution in movement.
Deep or superficial grinding can be done with a laser. The wavelength is adjustable in the range of 1440 to 1997 Nm, depending on the selected exposure method.
Thermal microtrauma occurs in order to activate internal recovery processes and microcirculation in the treatment areas. The laser acts delicately on the cortical layer, intensifying the natural processes of cell rejuvenation and tissue renewal.
Can be used for any skin type, including tanned or dark skin. One of the advantages of the device is the painlessness of the procedures, a short recovery period, as well as the speed of processing large areas of the epidermis in one procedure.
Due to its wide range of applications, the laser can be used not only for facial rejuvenation, but also in complex programs aimed at restoring the elasticity of the skin of the mammary glands, the inner surface of thearms and thighs.
The operating principle of this laser is identical to that of other non-abilative fractional devices, but implemented with maximum safety. The most effective method of laser treatment using professional cosmeceuticals.
The sessions are a synthesis of laser exposure and the delivery of biologically active components in order to eliminate age-related problems, restore elasticity and youthfulness of the skin.
Is it possible to remove pigmentation
Modern laser technologies in cosmetology are actively used to remove hyperpigmentation. Strongly colored areas do not look aesthetic, they can 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 is 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 depressing effect on melanin, which is responsible for the appearance of age spots. The number of sessions for removing pigmentation is determined by a cosmetologist after assessing the condition of the skin, characteristics of the color type, 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 the normalization of the accumulation of healthy pigment. As a result, the pigmentation gradually peels off with the keratinized layer of the epidermis.
How is the procedure carried out
Laser facial rejuvenation is an effective complex procedure that is performed in a specialized salon or clinic.
Before starting the course, you should complete a minimum of training: do not tan 2 weeks before the procedure, do not wipe the area with products containing alcohol, exclude chemical peels and aggressive cosmetic procedures.
It is recommended that you stop taking antibiotics, sulfonamides, and blood thinners.
Standard session algorithm:
- a consultation is carried out, an evaluation of the skin condition is carried out, a medical questionnaire is filled with the exception of possible contraindications.
- The sites are degreased with a special alcohol-free compound before laser treatment.
- The organs of vision should be protected with special glasses to avoid injuring the mucous membrane of the eyes.
- The doctor makes 2-3 passes through the treatment areas with the split attachment. The laser heats up 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 healing of micro-wounds.
The specialist may recommend the application 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 regeneration processes are activated. After laser therapy, the skin is most sensitive to the sun, therefore a barrier cream with a factor of at least SPF 35 should be applied before going out.
The post-procedural period includes the following activities:
- Visiting the solarium or sunbathing for 2 weeks is not recommended.
- Avoid spa treatments, baths and saunas, as well as swimming pools, as the skin becomes more sensitive. It is recommended to take a hot shower instead of a hot bath for 3 days.
- It is strictly forbidden to perform a chemical peel, a deep scrub, so as not to injure the epidermis.
- Provides maximum hydration, apply hyaluronate based creams and masks.
- Instead of washing, wipe the laser-treated areas with antiseptics.
- Avoid applying alcohol-based products to treated areas which can cause dryness and irritation.
After laser exposure, the skin may show a slight redness, after which it begins to peel. Scabs cannot be removed, it can disrupt the structure of the epidermis. Moisturizing ointment will help soften the skin.
