What is such a procedure
The basis of laser rejuvenation is exposure to high temperatures. Experts select the appropriate temperature based on skin type, the presence of problems of the skin. The specialist also chooses the depth of impact: the deeper the wrinkles, the stronger the effect of temperature should be.
High temperatures burn cells, with the result that the body is “tuned” to a 100% renewal of damaged cover. Due to this, cell renewal and rejuvenation occur.
This process is serious and dangerous, because it has many contraindications, but it is considered the best way to rejuvenate. This procedure is an alternative to procedures such as botulinum therapy, mesotherapy, etc.
The main indications for the procedure include the presence of:
- black dots and acne;
- acne;
- pigment spots;

Varieties of procedure
There are several varieties of this procedure, differing in depth and principles of exposure. Beauticians individually choose options, taking into account the peculiarities of the skin.
Vascular therapy
The peculiarity of this procedure is that its effect lasts almost twice as long as when using other laser measures. In this case, lasers have a rather gentle effect: before each pulse, the skin is treated with a special cooling gel, which prevents its damage. Due to this, such procedures are usually carried out without anesthesia. Considered the most popular option.

How many procedures are required
Among the advantages of laser rejuvenation can be noted painlessness, fairly reasonable prices, the visible result after the first session. If you follow all the advice of a specialist, the healing of lesions on the skin goes an order of magnitude faster: you can use cosmetics on the very next day.
Depending on the condition of the skin, age, a certain problem, a different number of procedures is required to achieve the desired effect.
If the desired effect from the first procedure is sufficient, then re-rejuvenation can be avoided. But most often:
- re-session is prescribed after a few months;
- several procedures per year are enough to maintain skin tightness;
- the maximum number of procedures is 4 per year;
- as a prevention, it is enough to visit a beauty salon once.
Recommendations for skin care after rejuvenation
Young skin is very tender, sensitive, prone to the appearance of dermatitis, because it requires careful care:
After the procedure itself, a special solution is applied to the skin to heal injuries as quickly as possible.- Antibacterial treatment is prescribed to avoid the appearance of purulent diseases. During this period, funds are used that contain dexpanthelone, for example, Panthenol.
- Be sure to use sunscreens with a high protection factor.
- On the day of the procedure, you can wash a little, but to take a bath or visit the bath, swimming pools is prohibited.
- When performing deep laser polishing, some patients are advised to stay in the clinic for 5-7 days. During this time, a thin new layer will be formed, and after 1.5 months the wounds will begin to gradually tighten.
- With long-term preservation of redness, you can use tonal makeup, as long as it is antiallergic.

I was always skeptical about such procedures, but I saw the result from a friend who had undergone fractional laser rejuvenation — great! Found a quality center in our city according to customer reviews. Yes, for some period there is a feeling of discomfort, but the result is amazing: fine wrinkles are gone, the skin began to look healthier.
