How to clean

The whole process is divided into several stages, each of which has a specific goal.

Stage one - cleansing and anesthesia . The patient removes makeup with lotion. Then the skin is well cleaned with milk and treated with an antiseptic. At this stage often ends, but if desired, the client is applied to the face cream - anesthesia, with which she goes from half an hour to an hour. As a rule, people with particularly sensitive skin and low pain thresholds resort to this. After the end of the exposure time, the remaining cream is removed and the skin is treated with a special agent. If a woman is prone to allergic reactions, the cosmetologist gives her antihistamines.

Stage two - the main process . Conveniently arranging the patient and setting up the equipment, the beautician begins the procedure, which takes about half an hour. The specialist slowly processes each piece of the client's skin, paying particular attention to the problem areas, lingering on them the longest. At this time, a woman should not experience discomfort and pain. If this is a hot way, then it is permissible to feel light warmth.

Stage three - completion . After the procedure, a compress is applied to the skin with an infusion of medicinal plants with a calming effect. After 5 to 10 minutes it is removed, the face is soaked with a clean napkin and a moisturizer is applied.

Facial cleansing with a laser and the number of acceptable procedures

In modern cosmetology there are two types of devices for laser cleaning, which successfully compensate for the shortcomings of each other, if they are used both for one procedure.

The erbium fixture is suitable for sensitive areas such as the area around the eyes. It can be used to cold clean the face with a laser, so there is no heat. This eliminates the appearance of burns on the patient's skin.

Carbon dioxide apparatus is more dangerous due to the possibility of thermal burn, as the skin is heated. It also affects the recovery period after the procedure; it is approximately twice as long as after the cold method. But the undoubted advantage will be a deeper penetration into the layers of the epidermis and a more effective effect, for example, to remove scars , deep wrinkles and loose skin.

An experienced cosmetologist applies both technologies on the patient's face in a comprehensive manner, which makes it possible to achieve an amazing effect.

The principle of the device

Facial cleansing with a laser is carried out with the help of special equipment. Its mechanism of action consists in monochrome light radiation in the form of a wave with a constant length on the tissue of the skin integument, producing the effect of selective thermolysis. The cells absorb almost all the energy emitted on them and begin to break down, since the laser does not act deeply, the process only affects dead skin particles. Then new ones appear instead.

Due to this, the skin is renewed, resulting in the disappearance of visible defects, the facial contour is tightened, wrinkles are smoothed.

What to do during the rehabilitation period

Despite the fact that cleaning the skin with a laser is considered gentle, there is still an intervention, so at first you need to be especially careful and follow the recommendations of the cosmetologist:

1. During the week you can not go to the pool, sunbathe, wash in a hot tub and steam out your face.
2. Try as rarely as possible to go out in bad or inappropriate weather: hot sun, rain, snow, wind. It is necessary to comply with such measures for 7-10 days, during this time the skin will recover.
3. You can not use any cosmetics without consulting your cosmetologist. It is recommended to lubricate the skin with a sunscreen moisturizer constantly.

Almost all women do not see the external manifestations of skin lesions after the procedure, therefore they do not take the rehabilitation period seriously, but this is fraught with not only slight redness, but also manifested pigmentation, deterioration of the effect of cleansing, severe irritation.

Number of sessions

To achieve a lasting effect, laser face cleaning should be repeated regularly at monthly intervals. In total, the course requires from two to six procedures, it is curled on the patient's skin condition and the desired result.

To resort more often to this help cosmetologist is not worth it, as irritation may occur, which then will have to be treated.
