What is non-ablative laser skin resurfacing and how does it work?
Laser non-ablative rejuvenationthe process of skin rejuvenation with laser energy without damaging the epidermis.
In this case, the laser energy is converted into thermal energy. Controlled thermal stimulation stimulates the extracellular matrix and initiates collagen formation.
By interacting with the water molecules in the skin cells, the radiation exerts a toning and regenerating effect on the skin and initiates its rejuvenation.
The water content of the epidermis is about 10-15%, in the deep layers of the skin it is much more - 70-75%. For this reason, during non-ablative laser rejuvenation, the effect of the beam on the epidermis is minimal.
Passing through the manipulator, the laser beam is divided into microbeams in the form of a grid and forms closed coagulation columns in the deep layers of the skin, which are located at equal distances from each other. During the session, the skin cells around the pillars are exposed to heat, which activates the metabolism and promotes cell renewal. Old cells are destroyed and new ones take their place, thanks to which it is possiblelifting effect. The skin becomes elastic, evenly toned, and looks younger.
