Laser resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is a fast and effective way to rejuvenation and beauty for a long time.
Indications
- Scars and scar tissues
- Pigmentation
- The first signs of aging
- The skin has lost its elasticity
- ‘’Expression’’ lines around lips and eyes
The principle of laser resurfacing is the dead cells that absorb the laser light and evaporate. The process leaves no scars or burns.
The laser beams heat and vaporize the upper layer of the epidermis, allowing young cells to regenerate and grow.
Contraindications
- Oncology
- Pregnancy
- Lactation
- Herpes
- Fresh tan
- Viral diseases
- Infections
The result of laser resurfacing is smooth, radiant skin. Timely removal of the stratum corneum allows young cells to grow and regenerate.
1 procedure about 90 min
Impact depth – superficial
The maximum result is already after 1 procedure
Rejuvenation effect – lasts up to 2 years.
Tightening area – face and neck
Rehabilitation – not required; on day 3, the crusts go away.
Fractional resurfacing gives excellent rejuvenation results: mimic wrinkles and crow’s feet around the eyes are smoothed out. Laser resurfacing is called fractional because of the tiny round traces or fractions that remain immediately after the procedure and quickly disappear.
SMAS lifting
SMAS lifting Altera is a modern analogue of plastic surgery. The non-invasive facelift quickly and effectively removes the double chin, removes flews and eliminates the first signs of aging.
