Laser in the Service of Beauty

With the first appearance of laser cosmetology, it was only possible to remove skin growths (papillomas, warts, nevi) and discolor pigmented spots. But with modern devices, specialists have the opportunity to eliminate age and expression wrinkles, stretch marks, postoperative scars, and spider veins.

As specialists at the Med City clinic note, it is possible to perform deep peeling and skin resurfacing, hair removal, fight acne, and even almost completely remove tattoos. By the way, on the company's website Medcity.ua you can see the list of cosmetology services, read reviews about laser hair removal and rejuvenation procedures.

Thanks to the laser's ability to deeply heat the dermis, the process of natural regeneration begins in the skin – active production of collagen protein. The main therapeutic property of the laser is that it can selectively affect the desired areas of the skin or tissue.

The most modern method of laser skin treatment is considered fractional photothermolysis, invented in 2003. Its main advantages are:

• The ability to perform facelifts and rejuvenation without surgical intervention, and this does not require a long recovery period. The advantage of this method is also that the laser beam affects only the damaged area of the skin. At the same time, neighboring healthy cells can actively participate in the recovery process.

• During laser treatment, the light pulse penetrates the skin to the required depth, where it is converted into thermal energy and heats the affected cells to a very high temperature. But, thanks to the cooling system built into the device, the patient does not feel pain, only a slight tingling. If necessary, the skin can be treated with an anesthetic cream and all laser manipulations will be completely painless.

• Laser therapy eliminates the possibility of infection due to the lack of direct contact of instruments with body tissues. There is no damage to the skin, only mild swelling is sometimes possible.

Specialists recommend starting the first procedures using a laser after reaching the age of 30, when the first signs of aging appear, when the skin loses its youthful elasticity. It should be noted that laser correction of appearance is contraindicated during pregnancy and for nursing mothers, in the presence of blood and internal organ diseases, with herpes in the acute stage, with epilepsy, and in the case of existing oncological diseases.

The main point, if laser correction is necessary, is the choice of a good cosmetology clinic and a qualified specialist. A good master will help you choose an individual treatment program taking into account all skin features to achieve maximum effect. That is why experts recommend the Med City clinic, where real professionals work.
