Today in the market of the beauty industry you can find the richest selection of devices. Smart cars help us regain and preserve beauty. In this article, let's talk about different types of laser devices for skin rejuvenation - which one to choose for a particular procedure, how they differ, and so on.
Laser skin tightening has long been an alternative to a surgical scalpel. This lift is a minimally invasive procedure, after which there are no stitches or a long recovery period. It is called fractional thermolysis because during manipulations the laser beam is divided into small beams (fractions), by means of which a micronet is created on the surface of the dermis. In fact, these are micro-rows. The body begins to recover vigorously and produces collagen and elastin in the cells.
As a bonus in restoring the structure of the skin, there is a smoothing of wrinkles, illumination of pigmented areas, improvement of complexion and combating scars and blemishes.
Peculiarities
There are several lines of modern laser systems in the cosmetic market. Almost all devices are able to adapt to the customer's individual needs and problems. For example, thin or sensitive facial skin, tendency to allergies and so on.
Fractional rejuvenation techniques are divided as follows, depending on the intensity and depth of penetration:
Non-ablative
In this technology, microtrauma is not formed - the laser beam does not "damage" the epidermis, the effect is only at deep levels. However, the internal rejuvenation processes are still triggered, fibroblasts begin to be actively stimulated.
Ablative
In this case, the result of exposure to the laser beam is more pronounced - the tissue evaporates from the upper soybean in the epidermis. The device is suitable for aging skin, successfully solves the problems of ptosis, deep wrinkles and strong pigmentation.
