What does laser face lift mean?
Facial rejuvenation with laser is a method of non-contact exposure of the middle layers of the epidermis to a beam and destruction of outdated collagen fibers.Thus, the body triggers the synthesis of new fibers, which smooth out wrinkles and folds and even out the texture of the facial skin.The integrity and structure of the upper layer of the dermis is not compromised and therefore does not require rehabilitation.
Laser facial rejuvenation is designed for patients aged 35-55 years.The procedure can be performed up to 35 years of age for preventive aging purposes or for enlarged pores.The full effect of the exposure is not immediately noticeable.Significant changes are visible after 3-4 weeks.It is recommended to repeat the course of therapy periodically (2 times every 3-4 years).
