Laser lift

Millions of the world's inhabitants are concerned about preserving youth and beautiful appearance. Entire business empires with exorbitant money turnovers are built on these natural, but sometimes unrealistic, aspirations. Cosmetology, plastic surgery, apparatus technologies, laser lifting - all new and new ideas are realized with the only goal: to make more beauty around, which, as it is known, should save the world.

Indications for the procedure

Fibrillar proteins, collagen and elastin, are the compounds that make connective tissue strong and elastic. When these qualities are lost, the skin is the first thing to suffer. The question inevitably arises as to what to do about it. One of the answers is laser lifting, which can solve this problem. Folds on the neck, near the lips, eyes, forehead, "tired" face - clear indications for such a lift.

• Manipulation is also performed in other areas exposed to age or other unfavorable factors, including the intimate organs.

It should be clarified that the laser is not a one-time procedure that gets rid of the problem once and for all. To accumulate or maintain the result, as a rule, it is recommended to repeat the lifting two or three times, with a certain interval. The exact number is prescribed by a cosmetologist, depending on the situation.

• The condition of the treated skin improves immediately and then the effect builds up.

This happens because the existing protein fibers are first contracted, and then new ones are synthesized. The synthesis process is "pushed" precisely by the influence of laser rays. (Actually it is not laser, but infrared rays. For some reason "caught on" a different name, and fame undeservedly got it). Peak results are achieved after six months, and this maximum holds up to 3 years, after which the laser course is recommended to repeat.

The age range for the procedure is from 18 to 70 years of age. Although extreme indicators are rare. More often those in their 30s turn to cosmetologists.

Preparation

Many rejuvenation procedures require some form of preparation. In this case, it begins two weeks before the date of the procedure. Potential patient who decided to laser lift, during this period can not take sunbathing and tanning, use antibiotics and sulfonamides, chemical peels and similar manipulations. Even earlier start to lubricate the skin with special creams and take medications for the prevention of herpes rashes.

• Three days before the appointed hour is forbidden to swim in pools, take water-hygienic procedures, use alcohol preparations for wiping the skin in places of the upcoming lifting.

Looking ahead, we inform you that the same restrictions should be performed in the 2-week period after the laser procedure.

The clinic staff prepares the equipment and everything that is stipulated in the protocol of the procedure. The client's skin is thoroughly cleaned from dirt, cream and cosmetics residues, eyes are protected from flashes with special glasses. Subsequent application of a special gel improves the penetration of active energy into the depth of the layers, provides additional cooling of the treated area.

Technique of the laser lift

Laser technology is used at the age when cosmetics are no longer able to hide defects or suspend the aging process. Two types of devices are used for laser lifting: ablative and non-ablative. Both of them solve the same problems - they eliminate age-related skin defects.

• The former acts by temperature on the upper layers and heats the lower layers, the latter penetrates into the deepest layers of the skin. There is an accumulative effect.

The lifting of problem areas of the body is mainly performed with a fractional ablative device. This is an advanced method, which consists of layer-by-layer "burning" of wrinkles and products of cellular metabolism. This technique does not damage neighboring areas, but stimulates regeneration processes, especially the synthesis of elastin and collagen fibers. This leads to rejuvenation and restoration of skin elasticity.

Laser resurfacing is performed in a non-contact method. This means that the device generating the rays does not come into contact with the surface, which reduces to zero the probability of infection or trauma to the skin areas. Minor swelling and redness will go away after a few days.

To prevent hyperpigmentation or burns, the treated exposed areas should be protected from ultraviolet light and dryness. For this purpose, the use of SPF-50 and moisturizing creams is indicated for the next 2-4 months.

Laser facelift

Laser lift rejuvenation is a non-surgical technique. The patient does without stitches, long rehabilitation and minimal complications. These are the advantages of the technology. When examining for laser facelift cosmetologist must find out the data on the presence of contraindications.

The non-ablative procedure is offered at the age of 25-40 years. The laser locally warms the defective tissues, forms new layers of cells, making them work as in youth. As a result, turgor increases, fine wrinkles are smoothed, and the formation of new ones is postponed in time. The face regains a healthy glow. The first changes are noticeable after two weeks and the final changes after 2 months.

Fractional resurfacing is recommended for people 25-55 years old. It consists of thermal micro-damage to the epidermal layer. Due to the removal of cells, the result becomes evident immediately. Deeper defects, stretch marks, capillary networks, spots are removed. Lift is traumatic, after it you should undergo a rehabilitation period.

• The treated skin will first turn red, then bronze, and then renew itself after 7 days.

The patient should be guided by all recommendations of the cosmetologist on facial care after exposure to the laser, making the skin especially sensitive. Sauna, exercise, hot water, sun exposure are prohibited for several months in advance. During the regeneration period, even hygienic washing is carried out with the use of a pulverizer, without blotting or wiping the skin. The skin is treated with salt or vinegar solution, special preparations and sea buckthorn oil.

• Nurofen is recommended for pain, foundation to mask blemishes, and green tones to neutralize unnatural shades for makeup.

Laser eyelid lift

Laser skin tightening is a new word in aesthetic surgery. In most cases, the technique is used for cosmetic purposes, but rarely for medical reasons. One of such indications for laser eyelid lift is impaired peripheral vision.

• Some external defects also bother people: overhanging or drooping eyelids, fatty hernias, asymmetry of the eye shape, excess skin on the eyelids.

The method of blepharoplasty using the beam is much less traumatic to the delicate skin than the traditional surgical scalpel, avoids incisions, heavy bleeding and prolonged healing. The list of contraindications is much shorter, but the effect lasts quite a long time: 4-10 years.

The advantages of the technique include safety, delicacy, painlessness, efficiency. Depending on the severity and localization of the problem, there are 5 types of correction:

• upper eyelids;
• lower eyelids;
• circular (both eyelids);
• the cut of the eyes;
• cantopexy.

The latter term refers to the correction of a ligamentous disorder in the eyelid area. The shape of the eye cut is usually changed by Asian women who want to look European. In such cases, the cosmetologist removes the so-called Mongolian fold and forms a Caucasian one.

Laser chin lift

One of the innovations on the aesthetic medicine market is laser lipolysis. This is the destruction of subcutaneous fat cells, which end up in the intercellular space, and from there are removed in two ways. Partially - during the procedure of laser chin lift, the rest - through the lymphatic vessels.

Unlike conventional liposuction, lipolysis heats up the skin from the inside, which leads to stimulation of collagen synthesis, strengthening of skin ligaments and lifting of the chin. The procedure is performed in the clinic, under local anesthesia. Preparation includes laboratory examinations, detailed anamnesis.

The following effects are achieved by laser lifting:

• visible rejuvenation;
• tightening of problem areas;
• removing excess tissue;
• disappearance of small and reduction of visible folds;
• Smoothing of the surface, tone, elimination of spots and scars.

The procedure is recommended for people 40-45+, where there is a weakening of the ligament apparatus and sagging of the skin. This can also happen with sudden weight loss. Massages and masks, effective in milder cases, do not work in such situations, so you have to turn to aesthetic professionals.

• Laser resurfacing is many times more spectacular and effective.

Depending on the specific indices, between 2 and 5 treatments are required, with short rehabilitation periods. Special creams are available for care. You can admire yourself after a few weeks, and the final result is visible after six months.

Laser tummy tuck

"Superfluous" skin on women's bellies is formed in two cases: after childbirth or due to drastic weight loss. It is good if the skin shrinks on its own. But usually the body lacks its own resources to return to its original state.

• A laser tummy tuck is the best option to help such a body.

Laser exposure activates fibroblasts that produce elastin and collagen, which improve skin turgor and density. Laser lifting is performed with one of the devices, more or less aggressive. It depends mainly on the indications.

• The Fraxel laser improves the quality of stretched skin, toning it. To be effective, 3-4 treatments are performed. Rehabilitation period is up to 2 days.

The Acupulse co2 machine has a more aggressive action. To improve the quality and eliminate stretch marks or scars, it vaporizes a certain amount of tissue. Fresh blemishes are removed more easily, while older blemishes require more effort.

• The procedure is painful, so anesthetics are used during the procedure.

Recovery also lasts longer: a week to a week and a half. The skin becomes red, flaky and tight, but the patient's patience is fully rewarded by the result. The procedures are also needed less than in the first case: only two visits to the clinic may be enough.

Laser breast lift

Ptosis, i.e. Sagging of the breast gland, is an inevitable condition caused by time and gravity. Other natural factors also contribute to the process: pregnancy, sudden weight loss, intense jogging, smoking.

• Previously, breastfeeding was thought to be "to blame", causing some women to unreasonably refuse to feed their babies. Modern medicine states that breasts are more affected by hormonal background than by changes in the volume of fatty fiber and body weight.

Laser lift can correct the position of the female glands and restore their aesthetic appeal. There are four degrees of severity; they are determined according to the position of the nipple in relation to the lower part of the breast. The procedure is performed regardless of the size of the breasts.

• Among the variety of options, laser breast lift stands out for its advantages. First of all, because it is incisionless, more affordable compared to surgery and much safer. It does not hurt, does not leave scars, does not give complications.

The essence of the technique is that the pulsating beam, when applied to the breast tissue, improves its condition and function. This leads to gland tightening and elimination of sagging. The desired result is obtained after a 6-procedure course, with a 2-week break each. It takes 3 months to complete the treatment.

Laser neck lift

Laser neck lift makes the neck skin look younger: the light beam activates collagen production and cell renewal. Noticeable results occur after 3 laser lifts and the effect lasts up to 2 years.

Laser techniques leave virtually no residue and save time. Needed for the body to recover. The process is non-contact, allegedly painless and as if it does not require anesthesia. However, this is not always the case.

• Laser rejuvenates not only the neck, but also the face, décolletage, hands, reduce convex blemishes, acne, rosacea, erythema.

The procedure has no age limits, but, according to practitioners, the most spectacular results are observed in clients in the middle age group (30-45 years). Skin type, time of year and other nuances are not important.

• The procedure is done in stages, beginning with an examination and health assessment during the doctor's interview with the patient.

Depending on individual parameters, the cosmetologist sets a date and announces the restrictions that should be observed in the preparatory period. If there are contraindications, they are mentioned separately.

Modern devices work in such a way that the laser stream is divided into many microbeams. Each of them removes a microparticle of skin, which is subsequently replaced by young and healthy skin. And in the deeper layers, reacting to the microtrauma, processes of active renewal are launched. They positively change the structure: they strengthen, improve firmness and elasticity, thus providing skin tightening.

Laser vaginal lift.

More than half of women practically in the prime of reproductive age, and more specifically - after 30, face vaginal atrophy. It is not customary to talk about it with anyone, even with close people. Women accept intimate discomfort as an inevitability and do not suspect that a competent doctor can suggest a solution to the problem. Such a solution can be laser vaginal tightening.

• The causes of unpleasant symptoms are severe childbirth, gynecologic surgeries, trauma, hormonal disorders, age-related changes of the genital organs.

The woman suffers from dryness, pain, itching, urinary incontinence. Objectively observed hyperpigmentation, loss of tone of the vaginal walls, prolapse of the genitals, decreased libido. If, without false shame, in time to contact a specialist, then modern laser lift will correct the situation without surgical manipulations and the reception of hormones, which is a significant advantage of the technique. Especially since cosmetologists use special devices for painless and effective intimate procedures.

During an outpatient session, apparatus beams remove the upper layer of epidermis on problem areas in just 10-15 minutes. The frequency and periodicity is determined depending on individual parameters. Usually it is 2-4 procedures with an interval of up to 1.5 months. After the elimination of unpleasant symptoms and restoration of intimate health, a woman regains a sense of fullness, impossible without this side of life.

Contraindications to the procedure

Despite the relative gentleness, not everyone and not always can plan a laser lift. In particular, the manipulation is not performed at:

• infection and inflammation in the area where the manipulation is performed;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• oncology, mental health issues;
• if there are individual contraindications to the procedure;
• pregnancy, breastfeeding;
• systemic blood disorders;
• a history of taking Roaccutane.

You cannot use the laser on sunburned skin, after sauna and chemical peeling. Such skin should rest for at least two weeks.

Consequences after the procedure

In many texts on laser lift, in an easy style tells what a pleasant procedure it is, painless and quite safe. And only some of them mention the peculiarities of preparation and the consequences after the procedure are not so pleasant. It is about anesthesia: sedatives, local anesthesia and even general anesthesia required for manipulation.

• Strong painkillers are recommended and after the procedure to relieve irritation, pain, the desire to scratch the treated area.

Crusts form here, which should be tolerated: take care of them, but do not tear them off. The pinkish face after a while becomes a natural tone. For these weeks it is better to take a vacation at work, so as not to be embarrassed by the curious looks of colleagues.

The consequences after manipulation in the intimate zone are to return to the woman the pleasure of sexual relations.

Complications after the procedure

Facelift, that is, a laser lift, is considered the optimal way of rapid rejuvenation. If the technology and indications are followed, complications after the procedure are unlikely. However, they are not excluded. They include:

• bright spots (purpura) at the treatment site;
• itching for hours or days;
• herpes infection, hepatitis;
• burning, crusting, peeling;
• changes in skin tone and texture;
• Hyper- or hypopigmentation (temporary or permanent);
• scarring (in rare cases).

Mild complications soon go away on their own. Keloid scars form in 3% of cases, which is considered a serious complication. No complications have been identified with intimate organ lift.

Care after the procedure

The patient is notified about the rules of care and rehabilitation after the procedure by the doctor at discharge, which will take place a few hours later. Usually these days do not require long and complicated actions that take a lot of time.

• The essence of care after laser lift is reduced to maximum protection from the action of external factors.

In the first three days, dexpanthenol cream is used. After the swelling and redness stop, use a hyaluronic acid cream. If the doctor recommends restorative creams, they will also strengthen local immunity.

An important step is to protect yourself from sun exposure, also by applying sunscreen and wearing glasses. In no case should you sunbathe, steam in the sauna, use scrubs. The recovery period is not the time for makeup and lifting masks.

The next 14 days, or rather nights, you will have to sleep on your back, not to abuse alcohol and cigarettes. It is desirable to give up these habits forever, because they are harmful to all cells - both "old" and renewed.
