Laser facial rejuvenation Fotona: effectiveness, pros and cons

Hardware and injection methods of skin tightening can significantly improve its condition and provide a noticeable and sustainable lifting effect for a long period of time without surgery.

At the same time, anti-aging non-surgical lifting procedures have a number of advantages over plastic surgery:

• less invasive
• using local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia
• no preliminary preparation or analysis required
• fewer contraindications (minimally invasive cosmetology may be the only alternative for patients who are contraindicated for surgery)
• shorter rehabilitation period (you will not fall out of your usual rhythm of life)
• there is no need to wear bandages after the procedure

The choice of one or another facelift method in consultation with a cosmetologist is made depending on the task identified by the patient.

To achieve a noticeable and lasting rejuvenation effect, the Gradient clinic uses hardware (laser, radio frequency) and injection methods of facelift:

Laser facial rejuvenation: features of the procedure

Aging is a natural biological process during which functional changes occur in the body, which have a strong impact on a person’s appearance. Against this background, the skin loses its elasticity, facial wrinkles and age spots appear. Laser face lifting allows you to cope with such problems. This is a modern non-invasive procedure. It is carried out using a special device - a laser. Its rays penetrate deeply into the skin, triggering metabolic processes in cells and synthesizing collagen fibers. Let us consider in more detail what the features of the technique are and when they resort to it.

Common hardware facelift methods

Hardware rejuvenation techniques are carried out using special equipment that allows you to influence problem areas with the following types of energy:

• microcurrents;
• laser;
• radio waves, etc.

Laser tightening is considered one of the most effective hardware methods of rejuvenation. The essence of the procedure is the deep impact of infrared radiation, which warms up soft tissues, triggering the production of collagen and elastin. The effect after laser lifting lasts up to 3 years. The main advantages of the technique are:

• positive changes are noticeable after the first session;
• the procedure is painless and does not require long-term rehabilitation;
• the skin noticeably improves, tightens, becomes young and radiant.

Among the rejuvenating procedures involving the use of laser, laser resurfacing has proven itself well, which accelerates the exfoliation of dead cells, activates regeneration processes and the production of collagen and elastin fibers.

Another effective rejuvenating hardware technique is radio wave lifting. The essence of the procedure is the effect of high-frequency electromagnetic waves on soft tissues. There are 2 types of RF lifting:

• monopolar;
• biopolar.

After radio wave lifting, regeneration processes are launched, which contributes to the effective rejuvenation of the skin, the disappearance of pronounced age-related defects, and the general improvement of the dermis.

Microcurrents have a healing and rejuvenating effect on the skin, and the procedure using them is called darsonvalization. The dermis is exposed to alternating currents of high frequency and low strength. Results of the darsonvalization course:

• relieving inflammation;
• disappearance of the rash;
• getting rid of fine wrinkles;
• improvement of metabolism;
• increased tone, tightness, elasticity;
• strengthening local immunity.

Cryolifting is another hardware technique, the essence of which is to treat the skin with a nozzle cooled to -20 °C. Exposure to low temperatures causes the skin to experience a shock, as a result of which the synthesis of collagen and elastin is activated, blood vessels are strengthened, swelling disappears, and toxins and waste are removed. The average duration of a cryolifting course is 6 – 10 sessions.

The essence of the photorejuvenation procedure is to expose the dermis to light pulses of varying intensity, triggering cell regeneration and the active production of collagen and elastin fibers. Results of the photorejuvenation course:

• smoothing of shallow and medium wrinkles;
• disappearance of folds localized in the area of ​​the nasolabial triangle;
• facelift and double chin lift.

Main indications for laser lifting

The technique allows you to restore youth to the skin and eliminate imperfections. As a rule, girls resort to it after 30 years, when collagen production slows down for natural reasons. The procedure is prescribed in various clinical cases, including:

• medium and deep wrinkles on the forehead;
• greatly enlarged pores;
• decreased tone, causing the skin to become flabby;
• traces of scars and scars;
• changing the shape of the face oval;
• unhealthy skin color (dull);
• dark circles under the eyes;
• consequences of acne.

The main advantages of non-surgical lifting

A non-surgical facelift is a gentle anti-aging procedure that is used by clients who are hesitant about plastic surgery. The technique is prescribed to patients with pronounced age-related changes, such as:

• dry, flabby skin that has lost its tightness;
• expression lines, age wrinkles;
• gravitational ptosis, jowls;
• sickly color;
• dark spots;
• bags, bruises under the eyes.

The main advantage of facial rejuvenation without surgery is the virtual complete absence of contraindications. The procedure is not prescribed for pregnant women, breastfeeding, as well as patients diagnosed with oncology, diseases of the hematopoietic system, or mental disorders.

A non-surgical way to combat age-related changes has almost no side effects. In the first 3 to 5 days, bruises, hematomas, and swelling will be noticeable on the face. But if you follow the cosmetologist’s recommendations and do not expose the skin to aggressive influences during rehabilitation, these phenomena will soon disappear on their own. No special treatment.

Another advantage of the technique is painlessness. Most anti-aging procedures are performed using local anesthesia, which is easier to tolerate by patients and does not cause complications.

Any type of lifting without surgery does not require hospitalization. Immediately after the procedure, the patient can return to their normal lifestyle, not forgetting to follow the rules of rehabilitation. After non-surgical rejuvenation, there are no scars, scars or other cosmetic defects. Along with the tightening, internal regeneration processes are launched, lymph and blood circulation improves, blood vessels are strengthened, and the production of collagen and elastin fibers, which are responsible for the elasticity, freshness, and healthy appearance of the dermis, is activated.

The results of non-surgical lifting are noticeable after the first session. Over time, the effect will increase. Almost every tightening method is effective for several years, and if you properly care for your skin during this time, the results will last even longer.

Advantages of the technique

Non-surgical laser rejuvenation is based on the ability of the skin to self-regenerate. During the technique, the beam is scattered by a special lens, affecting the middle layer of the skin. Nearby tissues begin to intensively restore the damaged area, activate blood circulation and stimulate the production of elastin and collagen. The procedure is in great demand because it has a number of advantages. These include:

• high efficiency (the result is noticeable after one procedure);
• short recovery period (5-7 days);
• accessibility (lower cost compared to plastic surgery);
• complete safety (no chance of infection);
• the ability to choose optimal conditions for each client;
• multifunctionality (the technique is used to solve a number of aesthetic problems);
• short duration of the procedure (lasts about 30-40 minutes);
• absence of scars and other marks characteristic of conventional surgery;
• low risk of complications;
• the ability to work with “difficult” areas (neck, area around the ears);
• comfort (during the procedure the woman does not experience pain).

What is the difference between SMAS lifting and laser resurfacing in comparison?

What is the difference between SMAS lifting and laser resurfacing? This is a very common question.
You need to understand the main thing - these are hardware and laser rejuvenation procedures. Despite the fact that at first glance they seem similar, these are completely different procedures. To make it easier for you to understand which procedure to choose, experienced doctors at our clinic have prepared for you a comparative description of SMAS lifting and laser resurfacing.

What should a patient choose: SMAS lifting or laser resurfacing? Coolaser Clinic specialists will help us understand the subtleties and differences.

Preparation and progress of the procedure

Laser facelift does not require complex and lengthy preparation. 7-10 days before the scheduled session, it is recommended to avoid visiting the solarium and sauna, and refrain from peeling (mechanical and chemical). At the initial appointment, the doctor conducts a thorough examination, assesses the condition of the skin in order to select the optimal parameters of the procedure (strength, duration and frequency of laser exposure). As a rule, laboratory and instrumental examinations are not required.

Laser tightening is carried out under local anesthesia by applying an anesthetic to the skin. In rare cases, the technique is performed under general anesthesia (at the patient’s request). After the anesthetic, the doctor begins to treat problem areas with a laser, having previously adjusted the desired radiation power and depth of exposure. The procedure is practically painless and lasts no more than 40 minutes (the exact time depends on the initial condition of the face).

The result will be noticeable by the end of the recovery period: the face will become younger, fine wrinkles will be smoothed out, and the complexion will become even. It is worth noting that the laser triggers long-term regeneration processes, so the effect will increase over the next months and will last for a long period.

Results of the procedure

Laser skin rejuvenation procedure:

• provides intense lifting effect;
• smoothes the skin surface;
• eliminates unevenness, scars, post-acne;
• improves complexion;
• reduces the severity of pigmentation;
• smoothes out small wrinkles.

Thanks to the laser facial rejuvenation procedure, patients look younger – minus a few years! The effect of grinding lasts for a year or more. Scars and stretch marks removed by laser will never appear again.

Contraindications to laser lifting

Despite a number of significant advantages, laser face lifting is not always possible. Absolute contraindications include:

• serious abnormalities of the endocrine system (diabetes mellitus);
• tumors of a malignant nature (any location);
• tendency to keloid scars;
• blood diseases;
• severe neuropsychiatric diseases (epilepsy);
• dermatitis and other skin diseases in the active phase;
• children's age (up to 18 years).

Temporary contraindications include exacerbation of chronic diseases, treatment with antibiotics, pregnancy (regardless of trimester) and lactation.

Possible complications

After the procedure, patients may experience slight swelling and redness of the skin in the area of ​​laser exposure. Minor discomfort in the first few days is normal. These symptoms are a natural reaction of the body and disappear on their own after some time.

Possible complications include burns, peeling, itching, and changes in skin color. Such symptoms may persist for 1-2 days. Some patients experience exacerbation of herpes infection and hyperpigmentation. To avoid negative consequences and maintain the results of the procedure for a long time, it is important to follow the recommendations of a specialist. For the first 5-7 days after the procedure, it is forbidden to sunbathe under the sun, visit a solarium, or take a steam bath in a sauna or bathhouse. When going outside, it is recommended to apply sunscreen to your face. During the recovery period, you should stop drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking.

Cost of non-surgical facelift

The price for a non-surgical facelift at the International Hemostasis Clinic depends on the rejuvenation technique chosen by the cosmetologist, the severity of age-related changes, and the desired effect.

Non-surgical circular facelift

Contour plastic surgery is a non-surgical circular facelift, the essence of which is the injection of stabilized hyaluronic acid preparations under the skin. Fillers will fill deep folds, help change the oval of the face, make the contours clearer and tighter.

The filler injected under the skin breaks down on its own over time. The results after the procedure last for an average of 12 – 20 months. The active substances contained in fillers are:

• hyaluronic acid;
• collagen;
• polylactic acid;
• calcium hydroxyalate;
• acrylic Powder.

The following types of fillers are used for facial contouring:

• Natural. The composition includes hyaluronic acid and collagen. The drug is well tolerated by the body, does not cause allergies, and triggers regeneration processes at the cellular level.
• Synthetic. The active ingredient is polydimethylsilicone. Provides stable, long-lasting results, but since the drug consists of synthetic components, the body can reject it.
• Semi-synthetic. They are a gel based on hyaluronic acid. The filler provides good support and elasticity to soft tissues and is generally well accepted by the body without causing rejection or other side effects.

The drug is administered subcutaneously using cosmetic syringes equipped with ultra-thin needles. During the injection of fillers, the patient does not experience pain; there may be slight discomfort in the form of tingling. But if the client has a high pain threshold, before administering the drug, the cosmetologist will treat the skin with an anesthetic and only after the anesthesia has taken effect will he proceed directly to the manipulations.
