About the disease
The essence of the procedure. Laser peeling
A laser facial skin peeling session in cosmetology is performed using a special laser unit that has controlled functions and various capabilities. The cosmetologist determines the patient’s condition and adjusts the operation of the device according to its individual parameters, depending on the tasks being solved, the condition of the skin, the specific area of treatment, etc. This is not a new word in cosmetology, but the equipment is improved every year, so today we can talk about the revolutionary achievements of the method in plastic and aesthetic medicine.
The beam penetrates the skin to a certain depth, interacting with water molecules. The absorption of rays by cellular structures greatly heats them, and water evaporates. Cells die, the body actively rejects them, regenerating young cells. Active rejuvenation of the dermis and epidermis occurs.
The essence of the procedure. Grinding
Laser facial peeling is often called laser resurfacing, because the result is like a polished skin surface. However, the second procedure is exfoliation at a greater depth of influence, in the middle and deep layers, so the result is pronounced and long-lasting. Medium and deep destruction of the epidermis in some cases affects the dermis to the middle level, removing noticeable defects, solving more complex aesthetic problems than superficial cosmetic peeling.
Already after the first session of laser facial peeling, positive results will be noticeable. But for the best effect, you need to complete the full course of procedures. Depending on the skin condition of a particular patient, the course of procedures may consist of 3–15 sessions.

Indications for the procedure
Specialists perform laser peeling from the age of 25-27 years, when age-related changes begin; many require it only after 30. With healthy skin of a woman or man, age-related changes are invisible, so only support for barrier functions is required, revitalization of the cellular structure, activation of slowing down metabolism, neocollagenogenesis.
Laser skin cleansing is more suitable for people with fair skin, because dark skin often develops consequences in the form of hyperpigmentation. However, modern devices allow you to choose the optimal type of work for any case. The cosmetologist selects the type of wave, depending on individual indications.

Laser peeling machines have a variety of settings, different wavelengths, and can be adjusted to operating modes of different intensities, so it is important for the doctor to understand the types of effects.
By depth
- Superficial, exfoliating only the stratum corneum.
- Medium, affecting the middle layers to the basement membrane without its destruction.
- Deep, with destruction of the epidermis, basement membrane, dermis to the middle reticular layer.
The deeper the impact of the treated surface of the facial skin, the longer the recovery will take. Deep facial cleansing with a laser is performed only in a hospital setting.
By extent of impact
- Fractional peeling. The doctor works only on problem areas, precisely correcting defects.
- General ablative. The cosmetologist treats the entire surface of the skin.
According to temperature indicators of impact on the skin
- Cold peeling. The treated facial tissues do not receive heat, and the stratum corneum easily evaporates without leaving wounds. The method is used for the most sensitive areas with thin skin - the area around the eyes, neck, ears, décolleté.
- Hot. The rays heat the tissue, so the polishing effect will be more pronounced. Requires caution and physician skill, especially when working on delicate areas of the body.
By types of radiation from various laser installations
- Erbium. Has a cold ray, used for superficial renewal of the epidermis.
- Carbon. It is carbon, neodymium. It is applied using a special gel. It has a good cosmetic effect, renews and improves the skin, eliminates minor defects, acne, gives elasticity and firmness to tissues.
- Carboxylic, or carbon dioxide. The hot method of deep impact allows you to remove pronounced imperfections, scars, scars.
Different modes of the devices allow you to perform work of different intensity, area, temperature and treat the skin with laser in different ways. In each case, the cosmetologist selects the optimal type of wave and impact, builds a protocol taking into account individual patient factors: skin type, degree of problems, achieved result.
