Laser resurfacing of scars - new technologies at the service of beauty

At any age we want to be attractive, look well-groomed, like others. And because of all the defects in appearance, whether they are pockmarks on the face or scars on the body, they cause us inconvenience and a desire to get rid of them. In such cases, cosmetic surgery comes to the rescue - it's good, in our age of computer technology, she learned to work miracles.

Not wizards, but still ...

Laser resurfacing of scars or stretch marks is one of the possibilities to get rid of skin defects on the face and body by 90%. Why not 100%? Alas, it depends on the properties of the skin itself, on the thickness and height of the scar, whether it is above the main body level or, conversely, is below it.

Laser scar resurfacing is carried out in two ways, depending on the devices developed by American and European manufacturers. Everyone has their pros and cons. The devices differ in the types of lasers - carbon dioxide and erbium. The first penetrates deep into the inner layers of the skin, carrying out not only therapeutic, but also disinfecting action. Such laser resurfacing of the scars helps to avoid infection of the patient, contamination of pathogens and bacteria on the treated skin areas. And recovery after the procedure is much easier and faster.

Erbium laser works only with the uppermost layers of the skin - this is its convenience and disadvantages. We will stop our attention on it, tk. It is with such a device that our cosmetic salons and offices mainly work.

The general advantage of medical grinders is their practical independence from the human factor. Full automation and programmed processes and operations made it possible to avoid mistakes and inaccurate actions of working personnel.

Methods of grinding

• Laser resurfacing of scars It is called classical if it is made by an erbium laser. The laser works with the upper layers of the epidermis. Under its influence, moisture is evaporated from the cells, and they themselves are destroyed. With this grinding, the lower layers, as well as the nerve endings, are untouched, intact. At the same time, the skin, as it were, repels third-party intervention: the operation stimulates its reproductive functions, the active production of collagen, the renewal of the cellular level takes place. As a result, rough fibrous tissue elements are replaced by an elastic, practically healthy skin. Such laser resurfacing of scars reviews provokes positive: scars become almost imperceptible.
• Deeper penetration of the laser beam into the skin layers provides grinding fractional. It is produced on the same apparatus, only in a different operating mode. Fractional grinding of the skin is treated pointwise, precisely at the site of the scar. After the laser, there remain thin channels, the main skin is not affected. Healthy skin begins to regenerate, as a result of fibrotic tissue overgrown, replaced by healthy skin, and scar - almost invisible. It is the emphasis on reproductive skin processes - the essence of the fractional method.

Results and additional bonuses

The first positive result is noticeable almost immediately. Skin on the scars becomes smoother, its texture more consistent with the texture of the underlying skin. The following sessions strengthen and enhance the therapeutic-cosmetic effect.

Thanks to laser polishing, not only the skin at the site of the rumen improves, but also its general condition. Thanks to the activation of metabolic processes, the wrinkles are smoothed out by the synthesis of collagen, the contours of the face are tightened, and if the scars on the body are treated, the skin of the whole body acquires a more youthful appearance.

With regard to payment, the ratio of "laser resurfacing of scars - price" depends on the severity of skin lesions, the method of treatment, the number and duration of sessions. In any case, this procedure is much more affordable than cosmetic surgery.

List of contraindications

Alas, this method of treatment is not shown to everyone. It is inadmissible in oncology, blood diseases, diabetes mellitus in some stages, infectious skin diseases, skin after intensive sunburn. Laser abrasions are not practiced during pregnancy.

Restoration of the body

No matter how simple the treatment seems to be at first glance, do not forget that this is a kind of surgical intervention, quite strong for the body stress. And after polishing the skin, rehabilitation procedures are needed. In the first week after the procedure, do not use alcohol-containing cosmetics, lubricate the skin with moisturizing creams with an SPF filter of 35 and above. A month and even more need to protect the skin from direct sunlight. Avoid sunburn, the streets appear better in the evening.
