Skin rejuvenation is possible with the help of developing laser therapy. Laser therapy has become an indispensable technological instrument of dermatological applications in recent years. Laser treatment is one of the skin rejuvenation applications. In our clinic, our plastic surgeon performs detailed skin analysis. It is determined which type of laser is suitable for you. The photo shoot can be compared before and after. It allows you to see the changes in your skin objectively.
Laser beams eliminate sun spots, age-related spots and dead, damaged cells on the skin. Eliminates fine wrinkles. Heals acne scars. Improves lip lines caused by smoking.
The laser beam can be applied at the desired dose and depth. Laser treatment is a fairly safe method of skin rejuvenation. There are almost no side effects. The operation can be performed in a very short time. For example, it can be applied to the entire face in as little as 15-20 minutes.
In America, this method is called Decadal aesthetics. You can return to work immediately after the skin rejuvenation procedure. The procedure is painless. an obvious rejuvenation occurs in 4-6 sessions.
The December sessions are on average 3 weeks. Collagen tissue is the most important substance that provides firmness of the skin. The laser destroys the old and worn collagen tissue in the skin and stimulates the formation of new collagen tissue. The young collagen tissue formed ensures the tightening of the skin and the reduction of wrinkles. The laser beam is sent only to the superficial skin layers in the rejuvenation treatment. The beam eliminates brown sun, acne and age spots on the skin. Removes dead skin cells. The skin makes new cells to replace these cells. The thinning of the skin improves and the capillaries disappear. Thanks to this, a new soft skin is formed, smoother, more elastic.
Causes of Skin Aging
There are two known causes of skin aging:
- The person's own or genetic factors
- Especially environmental factors such as the sun
Genetic aging;
Skin aging actually begins from birth. It is a natural process that becomes visible from the late twenties. The production of collagen and elastin in the skin slows down. In the aging process, the production of new cells instead of dead cells in the skin decreases.
The signs of genetic aging are;
- Fine skin wrinkles
- Thinning of the skin
- Loss of skin firmness and elasticity in the neck, hand, cheek, eye socket due to a decrease in subcutaneous fat content
- Reduction in bones as a result of bone resorption and sagging skin due to it
- Drying on the skin sometimes itching
- Insufficient protection of the skin due to a decrease in sweating
- Whitening of feathers
- Feather loss
- Increase in unwanted hair
- Thinning and bumping of the nail
- The speed of this process is determined by our genetic structure. For example, in some people, hair whitening is observed at the age of 20, in others at the age of 40.
Environmental factors;
The normal aging process is accelerated by environmental factors. The most important of these factors is the sun. Other environmental factors can be listed as repetitive facial expressions such as frowning, forehead wrinkling, pregnancy process and childbirth, sleeping position and smoking.
Sun;
Being unprotected under the sun for even a short period of time causes noticeable negative changes in the skin. This effect can cause freckles, age spots, capillaries in the facial area, rough appearance, thickening, fine wrinkles, blemishes, skin loss and a process leading up to skin cancer.
Photoaging describes the condition that occurs as a result of exposure to sunlight. This condition varies depending on the person's skin color and the amount of time exposed to the sun. In blondes, the sun effect is more wearing. Spots and wrinkles due to the sun appear less in brunettes. The photoaging process takes years. Exposure to repetitive sunlight reduces the skin's ability to regenerate itself, and skin damage further increases. Scientific studies have shown that repeated exposure to ultraviolet (UV) causes damage to collagen tissue and reduces the production of new collagen. The sun also negatively affects elastin. In places with excessive sun exposure, such as the Mediterranean, photoaging occurs at a later age. In these areas, actinic keratosis and skin cancer can be observed even at a young age. Computerized UV photo analyzes performed with some devices can objectively show an increase in skin damage over the years.
How Does Laser Treatment Repair Aged Skin?
Skin rejuvenation is possible with a laser. The laser clings to the dye substance called melanin, which is found in the spots. The high energy generated at this time causes the death of these cells. Dead cells and this dye substance in them are removed from the skin by defense cells. Thus, the stain in the area disappears completely, sometimes even in one session. Sometimes it may happen that 3-4 sessions are required. The skin that is free from blemishes gets a brighter and more beautiful appearance. The laser causes the repair of collagen under the skin and the formation of new collagen and elastic tissue. Thanks to this, the skin is stretched and wrinkles are reduced.
What is a Detailed Skin Analysis?
Technological development has made it possible to perform skin analysis with computer systems. Magnifying examinations performed in the past have disappeared into history. Thanks to digital technology, the photo taken on the computer is examined in detail through various programs. The skin type, sun spots, scars, wrinkles become clearly visible and objectively assessable. This method allows the correct treatments to be managed objectively at the beginning. The success of the treatment can be assessed clearly.
Why Does Skin Aging Occur?
The most obvious reason is environmental factors, such as the sun's rays. Genetic reasons are added to this, and the skin ages. The harmful rays of the sun are the most important factor that accelerates the aging of the skin. Protection from the sun's rays is the most important element to pay attention to in order to prevent aging. It delays aging in moisturizing and caring for the skin adequately. These spots and wrinkles are formed when the skin tries to protect itself from environmental factors. Old age occurs when the body loses its ability to repair with age.
Who Are the Skin Rejuvenation Methods Applied To?
It can be applied to anyone who has skin aging and does not mind applying laser treatment. Whether the skin spots are malignant is examined by a dermatologist. After the examination, stain and wrinkle treatment is planned together. Wrinkle areas such as crow's feet, cigarette lines are mainly tried to be treated. The entire face and, if necessary, the décolleté area are treated together.
