Features of laser face cleansing

Every woman wants to be beautiful, and today there are many opportunities for this. Laser facial cleansing is one of the most popular procedures. According to experts, it is considered absolutely safe and very effective. Thanks to the laser, you can get rid of such common skin problems as excessive oiliness, pimples, blackheads and flaking of the skin. Such a procedure is not carried out on its own - you must definitely contact a beautician at the salon.

Laser facial cleansing is carried out using the most modern equipment. A light beam with a certain power penetrates into the upper layer of the skin. The cells are heated, freed from excess fluid and, when dry, are rejected. Thus, laser resurfacing allows you to clean the coating from dirt and grease. The depth to which the rays penetrate, as well as their strength, will depend on the tasks set by the cosmetologist. You can do superficial or deep cleansing. Reviews suggest that laser cleaning allows you not only to get rid of such unnecessary manifestations as pimples or age spots, but also to smooth the relief, as well as narrow the pores.

Otherwise, irritation stains, insufficient cleansing and other unpleasant consequences can be expected. The price of laser cleaning depends on the area to be treated, the tasks set, the existing problems and the status of the beauty salon. As a rule, in Moscow prices range from 5 to 70 thousand rubles, and in the regions this range is from 3 to 40 thousand rubles.

Usually, the matter is not limited to one procedure - you have to perform a cycle of about five cleanings. There is a pause of a month between them, and even more on the recommendation of a specialist. The maximum number of visits to a beautician cannot exceed ten, and an interval of one month must be maintained between them. In addition, there is a recommendation not to do this procedure in late spring, summer and early autumn - that is, during those periods when it is very sunny.

Thus, it will be possible to provide the safest possible effect even on the most sensitive areas - the area of ​​the lips or near the eyes. In addition, the absence of severe painful sensations, as well as side effects, is also distinguished. Finally, the result of the laser procedure is long-lasting. If we talk about the disadvantages, then these include the high cost, the presence of contraindications, and the need to use anesthesia. It should be added that it will take some time to recover, so a certain period must pass for a positive effect from the procedure to appear.

There are several types of laser cleaning, the most suitable of which will help you choose the cosmetologist.

• Fractional peeling considered the least traumatic and painful. The impact here is point, and the heat treatment covers no more than a quarter of the skin. Thus, only diseased cells are exposed, and healthy ones are not injured. The procedure itself is carried out within half an hour.
• The next type of peeling is carbon peeling... The laser beam is combined with carbon gel, thereby cleansing the face, as well as normalizing the sebaceous glands. The deeper layers of the skin are not injured. The peeling ends with a thermal effect on the inner layers of the skin to stimulate its regeneration. This procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes.

• Cold peeling is performed with a soft laser and is selected mainly for leveling the relief. In this case, lifting is not carried out, since the laser acts superficially. It also prevents the appearance of wounds and differences between individual skin fragments.
• Hot peeling performed by a carbon laser. There is a "burning" of certain layers of the dermis, which, on the one hand, speeds up the exchange process, but, on the other hand, increases the likelihood of infection. The procedure is carried out pointwise.
• Erbium peeling removes only dead skin cells. The procedure is carried out quite quickly, but it is not suitable for skin with pronounced defects and damage.
• Finally, feature of carboxylic peeling lies in the fact that in addition to the action of the laser, carbon dioxide is released. The latter has a positive effect on the process of renewing skin cells.

Mainly laser face resurfacing is recommended for getting rid of acne and blackheads. This also includes other skin problems: mimic wrinkles, stretch marks, scars, scars, freckles, impaired pigmentation, “goose spots”. Cosmetologists also offer this service to those whose skin has begun to show signs of aging. Finally, laser cleaning often becomes a salvation for women whose skin has become in an unfavorable condition after unsuccessful procedures or poorly selected preparations. Before the procedure, a consultation is required, within the framework of which contraindications are clarified, as well as whether it is possible to cope with troubles with other, more gentle measures.

It is important to find out in advance who this procedure is contraindicated for. It is strictly forbidden to use laser face cleansing for pregnant women and nursing mothers, as well as those who are under 22 years old.You cannot apply to this procedure for persons suffering from diabetes mellitus and epilepsy. It is better to take care in case of any infectious diseases, ARVI, herpes, high fever and inflammation on the face. Finally, laser cleaning is prohibited for women using implants.

A qualified cosmetologist will help to resolve the issue with contraindications. It is also worth taking into account that during menstruation, the skin can unexpectedly react to such a complex cosmetic procedure. You should not do it in the second half of the cycle when the pain threshold decreases.

The essence of the procedure is that with the help of a laser the upper layer of the dermis is removed, which starts the process of renewing the skin, normalizing the functioning of the sebaceous glands and the production of collagen. The procedure is advised to be carried out no more than once a month, so that the skin has time to recover. In the case of minor skin imperfections, laser correction is carried out even less often - once every two or four months.

If you continue to sunbathe, the skin after the laser procedure may acquire an uneven shade. A week before "X-day", you should also stop steaming your face and using aggressive care products. The same applies to deep peeling or dry cleaning. It is also recommended to examine the body, for example, to pass some tests.

On the day of the procedure, you must not drink alcohol and it is better not to smoke. Before starting, the beautician examines the condition of the skin. If there are any wounds or injuries, then the laser will need to be moved to a later date. If everything is in order, then you can get down to business. First of all, the remains of cosmetics and dirt are removed with the help of special products. If the skin is sensitive, the specialist will apply a heat compress. Next, an antiseptic treatment is carried out and work with a laser begins. Adjusted to a suitable power, the beam treats selected skin gaps. After the end of the procedure, it is time for a soothing and moisturizing mask. Finally, at the end, a product is applied to the skin, which will nourish it and fill it with those substances that may have disappeared during the procedure.

Such skin treatment is completely safe, since the beam affects only the top layer of the skin. This prevents burns or injuries. After the procedure, the skin will return to normal in a maximum of five days, but usually after two days you can observe a healthy shade of the cover. It should be noted that the processing can be done pointwise. For example, you can pay attention only to the area around the eyes.

After the laser treatment, you will have to wait quite a bit before the skin returns to normal.

During the week, you will have to follow certain rules.

• Firstly, it is worth reducing the stay in the fresh air - the results of the procedure may suffer due to the abundance of cold air, sunlight or rain drops.
• Secondly, during this period you cannot visit the bathhouse, pool or beach. An atypical environment can also negatively affect the condition of the skin. It is very important not to tear off the crusts that appear on the wounds and, if possible, abandon cosmetics.

• Third, everyday care products must be approved by a beautician. It is better to turn your attention to natural, non-aggressive creams and masks. It's great if you can make them yourself. Lotions and tonics should not have chemicals in their composition - it is recommended to replace them with herbal decoctions. It is important to regularly moisturize your skin, and when going outside, apply a sunscreen to your face (SPF must be 50 or more).
• Fourthly, during this period, you can change your diet. Experts urge to consume more vegetables, foods with ascorbic acid and amino acids in the diet. The supply of hyaluronic acid can be replenished by adding beans and beets to the diet. Ideally, during this period, you also need to stop drinking alcohol, since alcohol leads to fluid retention and the appearance of edema.

The doctor performing the procedure must inform in advance what to do in a given situation. Painful sensations occur extremely rarely, but if there are concerns, then you will have to consult with a beautician in advance on how they can be eliminated. Only a specialist can recommend medicines and cosmetics that can eliminate the problem.
