And it is possible to adjust to the radiation temperature.
The correct choice of procedure parameters is the most important condition for successful rejuvenation, because at the slightest mistake of a cosmetologist, irritation may appear on the face.
Entering the tissue, the laser beam causes little damage to the cells, causing the cells to actively produce collagen and elastin, in response to the irritation that arises, and new cells begin to develop again.
Stimulation of regeneration processes leads to complete renewal of facial skin, rejuvenation. Another name for the procedure is laser peeling.

The result of the process becomes noticeable after a week: the skin becomes velvety by touch, fine wrinkles disappear. During the process, three types of laser beams are used: erbium, carbon or neodymium.
- Laser biorevitalization. . . Radiation penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, while some cells are destroyed. The technique is stiffer than laser resurfacing, but it gives a stronger anti-aging effect. To enhance the effect of laser, beauticianApplies a mixture of nutrients to the skin. After the procedure, deep wrinkles disappear and facial contour improves.

- Partial peeling. . . Partial laser rejuvenation is the most effective and gentle method at the same time. The peculiarity of the process lies in the fact that the laser beam is broken into several micro-beams, causing a softening effect on the skin. As the skin hits, therefore, intact areas remain between the foci of cellular damage - this contributes to faster tissue regeneration and a more powerful rejuvenation effect. The carbon dioxide or erbium laser can be applied to the strength of the beam during fractional peeling. Can be changed using.
