  Laser skin resurfacing


Laser skin resurfacing is the removal of the old layers of cells and stimulation of the skin by the laser beam, resulting in the almost complete updating of the cell. Through improved blood circulation, the demolition of the old fibrous and stockpiling of new piece fibres are anti-wrinkle treatment, the improvement of the appearance of skin, eliminate scarring s, as well as increased resistance to the skin damage factors.

How does laser?

The methodology is the use of the laser beam, which is leaking into the surface layers of skin (at 1-20 micrometers) is evaporated cells. Apart the effect of ablation or evaporation tissues, the laser triggering and other thermal effects near the impact zone. Thus, the "fragmented" fibers stimulate the emergence of new cells, which in turn synthesize new fiber.

What lasers used? How do they differ?

Currently, the beauty of two laser beams and erbium (CO2). Energy radiation erbium laser concentrated in a thin layer of skin thickness of about 1 micrometer. Radiation carbon dioxide laser penetrates deeper, up to 20 micrometers. According to the research, the effect of erbium laser is evaporated cells while carbon dioxide laser is more tissue coagulation.

Given such differences in the effects usually carbon dioxide laser used at the time when maximum impact skin and stimulation of a new, but this, in turn, is linked to a higher risk of complications. Erbium laser is "cautious" as a result of the complications of the procedure less frequent.

When a does laser polish?

Testified for laser cutting skin is the so-called smile skin. As a result of radiation on the skin has been a steady increase in cell surface layers accumulation fibrous tissue, a reduction of fluid as a result of and contributes to the emergence of wrinkles and reduce the elasticity.

Another equally important indicator for laser cutting is the scars. The scars are layers of connective tissue.

Connective tissue, which affects between layers of cells to form a layer, with the result that there is a scar. Talk gradually destroys the fabric of connections and stimulates some underlying cells to divide. As a result, the scar can significantly decrease in size.

What is the procedure?

Safety procedure is to treat skin laser beam. The painless, as the skin layer thickness 1 micrometer no nerve endings and the cooling of the skin cells evaporation occurs instantly. The modern machines for laser cutting with special cooling devices.

What complications?

Complications laser skin thickness are encountered in the use of carbon dioxide laser, since last penetrates deeper into the skin and other cells evaporation leads coagulation.

Infectious complications were rare, as the laser has bactericidal action. During the procedure, some of the communications equipment is not related to the patient's skin at the expense of a risk of infection are greatly reduced. Assess the need for a procedure to predict the result, the risk of complications including the risk of deterioration knock can only experienced and skilled doctor. Laser skin resurfacing involves the doctor accurately calculate the depth of the laser and identify areas for a more careful consideration.

What were the results?

The average laser can be measured in 7-10 days when returns superficial layers of the skin. The procedure can be used special gels that help cells to recover. After the skin becomes more sensitive to solar radiation, therefore patients should not be in the sun or use sun cream with the greatest number of sun factor.
