How does the laser affect the skin?
Laser energy penetrates deep into the skin, reaching the dermis, the layer where collagen and elastin fibers are located, which are responsible for the elasticity of the skin. Under the influence of laser pulses, the production of new collagen and elastin begins. This is similar to the natural healing of a wound: the body receives a signal for recovery and begins to actively work on creating a new, firmer skin, launching facial rejuvenation.
After exposure to the laser, a whole series of physiological changes begins. First comes cell renewal: old and damaged cells are replaced with new ones. Then there is a reduction in pores, as the renewed skin becomes denser. After that, the skin tone is leveled, and the pigment spots become less noticeable.
CO2 Laser Grinding
There are many treatments for rejuvenation. Let's start with CO2 laser resurfacing, which works on the principle of evaporation of the upper layers of the skin. The laser beam removes microscopic areas of the upper layer of the epidermis, which is called ablation. But do not be afraid: despite the apparent aggressiveness, it is this technique that triggers a powerful regeneration process. For our body, laser exposure is a microtrauma, so it begins to actively renew cells. As a result, a new layer of skin is formed, elastic and devoid of many age-related defects.
Advantages of laser rejuvenation
The laser allows you to effectively combat pronounced wrinkles and scars.
It helps to get rid of not only small, but also deep wrinkles, as well as reduce the appearance of scars after acne.
It helps to eliminate skin irregularities, age spots and improve tone.
CO2 laser resurfacing is an ideal choice for people with deep wrinkles, noticeable acne marks and age spots. However, this powerful technique is not recommended for people with thin and sensitive skin prone to scarring. The procedure takes about 60-90 minutes, and the rehabilitation period lasts up to two weeks.
Fotona 3D Rejuvenation
Fotona 3D and 4D rejuvenation are some of the most effective rejuvenation procedures. Fotona 3D Rejuvenation combines three different laser modes that work on all skin levels:
FRAC3: Fractional mode stimulates the skin renewal process to reduce fine wrinkles, improve skin texture and even out the tone.
Piano: provides deep warming of the skin, improves its elasticity and creates a light lifting effect.
SupErficial: at the last stage, a light laser resurfacing of the skin is performed using the SupErficial mode, which allows you to remove dead cells from the surface of the skin, align its texture and give it freshness.
Advantages of Fotona 3D Rejuvenation
It affects different layers of the skin, guaranteeing a comprehensive effect.
Activates the production of new collagen and elastin.
It helps to eliminate fine wrinkles, make the skin soft and toned.
It practically does not cause discomfort and does not require long-term recovery.
The effect of rejuvenation increases over time as collagen production is stimulated.
The procedure takes an average of 30-60 minutes. The results of rejuvenation become noticeable within a few weeks after.
4D rejuvenation of Fotona
The main difference between 4D rejuvenation of Fotona and 3D is the additional step of SmoothLiftin, which affects the skin through the oral cavity, which provides pronounced lifting and rejuvenation, helps to tighten the cheeks and reduce nasolabial folds.
The benefits of 4D rejuvenation Fotona
Thanks to the four stages, the technique provides rejuvenation of all skin layers, including the oral mucosa.
The intraoral rejuvenation of SmoothLiftin adds an additional lifting effect that cannot be achieved by external action alone.
Despite the powerful effect, the procedure has a short rehabilitation period, you can return to your business the next day.
4D rejuvenation Fotona is ideal for people with more noticeable signs of aging, loss of volume in the cheeks and pronounced nasolabial folds. This method is also suitable for those who want to achieve the maximum possible rejuvenation effect without surgery.
