Facial skin inevitably undergoes a natural aging process, and modern cosmetics and beauty procedures will counteract this aging.
One of these procedures is laser facial repair-thanks to this technology, the mechanism of repair and cell repair is triggered, the facial skin gets a youthful, fresh and well-groomed appearance.
In terms of beauty, special lasers are used to eliminate various skin problems. Local laser rejuvenation is very popular-a cosmetic procedure, after which you can increase skin elasticity, eliminate small and deep wrinkles and tighten the oval shape of the face. After completing the course, you will look younger for a few years.
The essence and effect of the technology
Laser rejuvenation of facial skin is a technique in which laser radiation is applied to the skin. For this, a laser source-laser equipment-a device that can adjust the depth of the laser beam into the skin, the exposure time and the radiation temperature is used.
Correct selection of surgical parameters is the most important condition for successful recovery of youth, because the beautician is not careful, burns may appear on the face.
After the laser beam penetrates the tissue, it will cause slight damage to the cells. In response to the existing stimuli, the cells begin to actively produce collagen and elastin, and restore the growth of new cells.
Stimulating the regeneration process can lead to complete rejuvenation of facial skin. The second name for this process is laser peeling.

- wrinkle.
- Black spots.
- Relaxation and sagging.
Instructions for this process also include:
- Scars, bumps on the face.
- Traces of acne.
- Unwanted tattoos.
- Keratinization of the skin.
- Enlarged pores.
- Vascular network on the face.
- There are stretch marks on the abdomen and legs after pregnancy.
The contraindications of laser peeling are:
- Keloid scar.
- Malignant tumors.
- Pregnancy, lactation.
- Herpes infection during exacerbation.
- Wounds and scrapes on the face.
- Any skin disease.
- Fresh tan.

- Take medicine to treat acne.
In most cases, laser skin rejuvenation does not cause complications. In the first few days after the operation, the patient will notice slight swelling, redness and peeling of the epidermis. These phenomena are normal for laser peeling and will disappear on their own after a few days.
Possible side effects
However, in some cases, the following side effects may occur:
- Continuous redness of the face.
- Acne worsens.
- Increase the oiliness of the skin.
- The appearance of pigmentation or hyperpigmentation.
- Herpes outbreak (if the patient has been previously diagnosed with herpes).
- burn.
- Maintain the boundary between treated and untreated skin areas.

The side effects listed will disappear for a long time and require additional treatment by a beautician.
Advantages and disadvantages of peeling
Fractional seed coats are widely used due to the following advantages:
- Efficient, the ability to eliminate major aesthetic defects.
- Possibility to perform on any type of skin.
- The risk of side effects (burns and pigmentation) is minimal.
- Painless.
- Restore the skin in a short time.
- The ability to treat large areas of skin in one go.
Compared with other methods, the disadvantage of batch stripping is the high cost, but given the effectiveness of the process, the disadvantage can be considered insignificant.
Types of laser revival
There are several types of laser rejuvenation, depending on the depth of laser penetration:
- Laser skin resurfacing. . . The laser "works" on the surface of the epidermis, causing dead cells to fall off. After a week, the results of the process became obvious: the skin felt soft to the touch and fine lines disappeared. In this process, three types of laser beams are used: carbon or neodymium.
- Laser bioregeneration. . . the radiation penetrates into the deep layers of the skin, and some cells are destroyed at the same time. This technology is more demanding than laser resurfacing, but it has a strong anti-aging effect. In order to enhance the effect of the laser, the beautician applies a mixture of nutrients to the skin. After the operation, deep wrinkles disappeared and facial contours improved. It will recover within three months after bioactivation, during which time edema and severe peeling of the epidermis may continue to appear on the face.
- Decimal peeling. . . Fractional laser rejuvenation is the most effective and gentle method at the same time. The particularity of this procedure is that the laser beam is divided into many microbeams, so the effect on the skin is softer. The radiation hits the skin in a net-like form, so the intact area remains between the focal points of cell damage-this contributes to faster tissue regeneration and a more powerful rejuvenation effect. The beam intensity during fractional stripping can be changed using carbon dioxide or laser.
Stage of the procedure
Before performing this procedure, you need to make an appointment with a beautician. The doctor will find out the problems, ask the patient if there are contraindications to the operation, and discuss how to perform laser skin rejuvenation.
If the patient’s skin is prone to hyperpigmentation, whitening cream should be prescribed a few days before rejuvenation. The patient should know that before the operation, do not participate in sports, hard physical work or drink alcohol.
The sequence of partial stripping:
- Use regular cosmetics to clean your face.
- The anesthetic cream is applied to the skin.
- After a few minutes, wash away the anesthetic and apply a gel to promote the sliding of the nozzle of the dispensing device. Put the glasses on the patient's eyes.
- The doctor moves the nozzle across the face and then uses the laser to affect each area in turn.
- The treatment lasts 15-60 minutes, and then the soothing cream is applied to the skin.
A total of 3-4 procedures need to be performed, with an interval of 1-2 months between them.
