The method is based on the use of a laser beam. It penetrates into the upper layers of the skin and has the effect of ablation, i.e. tissue vaporization. After the disappearance of the old layers of regeneration occurs, the skin is updated. Today Estheticians use two types of laser systems - Erbium and karbondioksidnye. First rays act on a thin layer of skin (about 1 micron). Second penetrate to a distance of 20 microns.
Erbium lasers give mainly the effect of ablation. But if the unit is modern, it is also able to stimulate tissue coagulation. Karbondioksidnye laser systems can achieve much greater renewal of skin cells. Therefore, the result after applying them more noticeable. But the risk of complications from such procedures also much higher. Erbium laser is more cautious, resulting in patients rarely have pigmentation and scars.
When shown laser resurfacing
Good results are obtained in the case of laser resurfacing of the so-called photo-aging. This process represents an increase in the surface layers of the skin, reducing the amount of moisture in it under the action of ultraviolet radiation. As a result - lost elasticity, wrinkles appear. Grinding to neutralize these unpleasant phenomena.
Also, the procedure used to remove scars, traces of acne. The laser beam is repeatedly removes the connective tissue. The skin becomes softer, roughness decreases and becomes virtually invisible.
Possible complications after the procedure
If sanding is done poorly, beautician has not calculated the impact of the laser on the skin may appear hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. Also there is a small risk of scarring. Very rarely, but still there are infectious complications when activated "dormant" infection. To reduce the risk of complications to a minimum, it is necessary within two weeks after the procedure to protect the skin from exposure to sunlight.
When results are visible
Preliminary assessment of the success of laser resurfacing possible after 7 or 10 days after the procedure. It was during this period is restored skin, redness subsides. However, as a rule, one session is insufficient to solve the problem. We have to take a course of 5-10 treatments. Therefore, to judge the final result can only be in 3-4 months.
