What is laser light rejuvenation? Can it make me look younger?

Answer 1

By using the right kind of laser, during the skin rejuvenation process, a trained medical practitioner can help to renew your skin from the inside out.

As the Laser energy is directed through the outer layer of your skin into the inner layer of your skin, energy, or heat, from the laser stimulates your natural collagen, which gives the skin its natural texture and fullness. The activated collagen responds by renewing itself and gradually plumps up your skin to fill out shallow or superficial scars or fine lines.

FACT: After the laser skin rejuvenation treatment, the cells feel the effects of the stimulation for more than 4 weeks.

During this time the collagen is building up and subtly filling out the top layers of the skin.

Laser skin rejuvenation treatment also stimulates the production of new skin cells, minimising surface blemishes and thickening your skin in a positive way.

what happens during skin rejuvenation treatment?
During the laser treatment, you will need to wear special goggles to protect your eyes. Very cold air or a cooling spray will be applied to the treatment area. Lasering stings or tingles, and takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be rejuvenated.

Laser skin rejuvenation is a treatment that can safely be carried out in your lunch break. Periodic occasional maintenance treatments may be prescribed for optimal, lasting results.

recovery time
Immediately following the rejuvenation procedure you may experience some redness, swelling and/or a slight darkening of pigmented areas.

It is extremely important to apply a moisturiser with SPF25 sun block and avoid sun exposure on a daily basis to prevent additional sun damage.

Answer 2

Laser light rejuvenation is a treatment using a specially designed medical laser to soften and/or remove cells in the skin. This has the effect of diminishing the signs of aging (such as wrinkles and skin discolorations) and treating various forms of skin damage as well as removing some scar tissue (such as those from acne scarring).
The term “laser” stands for ‘Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation’. They work by producing intense beams of bright light that are focused in one direction. Most medical lasers used for skin rejuvenation are administered using hand-held devices which emit pulses of light as opposed to continuous beams. These tools allow the dermatologist to control the depth and area of the skin being affected, enabling him to treat deeper problems as well as delicate areas of the face such as those tissues around the eyes.
The laser rejuvenation treatments use one of two types of laser: ablative and non-ablative. Ablative lasers work by destroying the upper layers of cells of the skin and stimulating the production of collagen in the lower layers of dermal cells. This results in plumper, more-youthful skin surfacing as the skin heals.
Non-ablative lasers are more popular because they often require little to no healing time. The non-ablative layer works by bypassing the surface skin layers and treating the layers underneath. One popular non-ablative laser type uses infra-red light which penetrates into the skin and stimulates collagen production and causes contraction and tightening of the skin.
Because they are less intense, they require less healing time, but also require multiple sessions and it can take several weeks after the final session before optimal results are seen.
These are a few of the conditions that can be treated by laser rejuvenation and some of the general benefits to be derived from the treatments:
