Indeed, it seems like a paradoxical situation, which often causes confusion even for doctors. The fact is that a special light flux is used for the procedure, which is qualitatively different from harmful UV rays. The device generates a broadband spectrum of light, with an intense pulse range. These light waves are selectively attracted by targets on the skin (pigment spots, blood vessels, freckles, eels, couperose net) and are transformed into thermal energy, which damages the targets. Rejuvenation occurs indirectly: light beams warm up tissues and trigger the formation of new collagen fibers.
Photorejuvenation is a modern method of hardware cosmetology, which is based on the effect of high-intensity light with a certain wavelength (515-1200 nanometers), which activates the normal physiological activity of the skin. Since light energy is transformed into thermal energy, it is possible to heat surrounding tissues and even burn. However, most clinics for the process use the latest instruments, which evenly distribute light radiation without power peaks, so the risk of burns is minimized (safe even for dark skin).
Before the process, the skin is cleaned of cosmetics and a special gel is applied, which, first, serves as a conductive medium for the light wave, and secondly, it cools the skin. During the procedure, there is a slight tingling and lashing, which usually does not cause discomfort. The result is visible almost immediately, but a serious improvement occurs in the third month, and collagen synthesis reaches a maximum in six months. The optimal course of treatment consists of 3-6 procedures with an interval between them of 3-4 weeks. Constantly "rejuvenate" can not: the course is recommended to be held once a year in the autumn-winter period.
Photorejuvenation is not an "exit" procedure. This day may cause redness of the skin, which can last for several days. Pigmented spots become dark and usually peel off after 4-5 days.
After the procedure, you can not sunbathe for 2 weeks. Use a sunscreen with a filter of at least SPF 30, and apply to the skin soothing gels and sprays (panthenol, beponen). It is recommended to limit the use of cosmetics and visiting the sauna, bath, pool.
Phototherapy is contraindicated in "fresh" sunburn (before 2 weeks) and autosunburn, tk. Light energy will be attracted not only by targets, but by the whole skin, which increases the risk of burns. Other contraindications: taking medicines that increase photosensitivity (some antibiotics, for example, tetracycline, biseptol), photodermatoses (skin diseases that are aggravated by sunlight), as well as pregnancy and cancer.
Photorejuvenation to date, most of the specialized clinics. Therefore, in order to get rid of wrinkles, you should only take a doctor's examination for the presence of any disease (contraindications are possible). Therefore, this kind of treatment for wrinkles and other signs of aging has become popular over the past 5-10 years. Photorejuvenation has no side effects and is therefore safe for woman's health. After the procedure of photorejuvenation, you can enjoy yourself and your loved ones with beautiful well-groomed skin.
To achieve a delicious effect, you need to constantly take care of the skin, apply various scrubs and masks with the effect of "anti-age" (anti-wrinkle). This will bring your skin back to normal and will make the skin color more beautiful.
