Collagenary for face, body. What kind of procedure is this, reviews from doctors, the benefits and harms of solariums for the body. Before and after photos, side effects

Collagenarium (light therapy) is a cosmetological method of rejuvenation, restoration of firmness and elasticity of the skin on the face and body, as a result of activation of cells to the process of regeneration (collagen production) by exposure to light radiation with a special device.

The elasticity of the epidermis, as it changes with age, loses its elasticity due to thinning and disruption of the integrity of the connective tissue. That is why doctors recommend taking additional measures for skin reconstruction and their reviews of collagenarium are in most cases positive.

The essence of the procedure

Collagenarium is an innovative method in cosmetology, which restores the amount of fibrillar protein in tissues. This organic substance controls skin elasticity and prevents premature aging. Collagen (the left-handed spiral and the framework of the epidermis), when protein threads are destroyed, stretches and becomes fragmented.

In case of such age-related changes, cosmetologists recommend going to salons where light therapy is performed.

Visually, it is difficult to distinguish a collagenarium from a solarium cabin. The difference is that light therapy does not involve the use of ultraviolet light during a cosmetic procedure.

Beneficial properties and effects of the procedure:

• increasing the elasticity of the epidermis with its flabbiness and sagging;
• regulation of skin moisture content at all levels;
• improving skin color and evening out its tone;
• elimination of pigmentation, freckles and rosacea (dilation of small blood vessels);
• elimination of blackheads (comedones);
• cleansing facial skin with enlarged pores;
• drying areas of oily and combination skin;
• blockade against photoaging (reaction to the sun);
• lifting effect (tightening) of problem areas of the whole body;
• prevention of “orange peel” (cellulite);
• stimulation of blood circulation when tissue is saturated with oxygen;
• prevention of osteoporosis (improving metabolism);
• enhancing the effect of accompanying cosmetic procedures;
• prolongation of “beauty injections” (Botox, restylane, hyaluronic acid).

Collagenarium allows you to correct the structure of the skin with age-related changes and congenital (acquired) epithelial defects. Due to a decrease in collagen synthesis in the skin, starting from the age of 25, every person begins to show signs of biodegradation in the form of facial wrinkles.

What effect should you expect?

It should be remembered that visible qualitative changes can be noticed after 5-7 visits to the collarium, since the device has a cumulative effect.

The duration of the full course of collagen therapy is determined taking into account the characteristics of the patient’s body, his age and the goals of the procedure.

So, on average, constructive changes may require 20–30 sessions.

Among the effects of collagen solarium it is necessary to note:

• Complex cleansing of the skin, reminiscent of chemical peeling.
• Obtaining different degrees of tanning intensity, evening out the tone.
• Normalization of the functioning of the sebaceous glands, which solves the problem of both dry and oily skin.
• Significant reduction in the severity of deep age-related and expression wrinkles on the face.
• The described method allows you to fight stretch marks and cellulite.
• Getting rid of spider veins and freckles.
• High-quality lifting is noted over the entire surface of the epidermis.
• The synthesis of collagen and elastin, which are the main structural components of cells that ensure their integrity and elasticity, improves.
• The problems of enlarged and narrowed pores on the face are solved.
• Collarium also promotes the development of skin immunity, which prevents photoaging.

Operating principle

The principle of action of collagenarium is similar to photorejuvenation. Due to the activation of epidermal cells to the regeneration process, the skin is restored, unevenness is smoothed, and skin tone is evened out. The process of light therapy involves placing the patient in a special booth (capsule), similar to a solarium.

It is equipped with 2 types of lamps of different power.

• Blue light wave with a range of 633 nm - prevention of acne (blackheads) and strengthening the immune system.
• The red lamp implies deep penetration into all layers of the epidermis (up to 8-10 mm).

Such exposure to 415 nm rays activates the synthesis of elastin and collagen, increases cell metabolism (by 150-200%) and complements the antimicrobial treatment of the skin with blue rays.

The main goal of the procedure is to synthesize fibrillar protein in tissues through exposure to lamps and restore problem areas of the epidermis in a natural way.

The layers of the skin contain a large amount of moisture (50-70% water) and blood (up to 1 liter in the dermis plexuses). This physiological feature allows the outer layer of a person to rapidly absorb red waves. As a result, a photosynthesis reaction occurs, which in turn stimulates the production of elastin and collagen.

Supplied with oxygen, the skin is cleansed of impurities and toxins, after which the process of its regeneration (restoration) begins. Additional collagen construction occurs, which fills the resulting voids and cracks in the skin.

The next stage of transformation during collagenarium is hydration (moistening) of the epidermis. The result of the announced procedure is an increase in the elasticity of the outer covering of a person.

The principle of the influence technique

Collagen is a protein structure of human connective tissue that is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Over the years, the amount of this glue-like substance decreases and it loses its original quality. The skin becomes dull, thinner and wrinkled.

The first signs of biodegradation appear already at the age of 25! It is during this period that collagen synthesis begins to decrease, causing the gradual appearance of facial wrinkles.

There are many products available on the cosmetics market that stimulate collagen synthesis deep in the dermis. Almost every company producing anti-age (anti-aging) cosmetics has entire lines of products “with collagen”.

Is the effect of such “rejuvenating” drugs great? Most often, it is scanty. Why?

The process of skin rejuvenation occurs in the deep subcutaneous layers, where large molecules of animal collagen from the cream cannot penetrate. Modern, cutting-edge technology using solarium-collagenarium has made it possible to help activate collagen production through light waves inside the skin.

How effective is it? Let's find out the truth from cosmetologists and ubiquitous clients...

The collagenarium itself is a vertical or horizontal capsule that looks like a solarium. The inside of this device is covered with lamps emitting light waves of the red spectrum. Using such a device is very simple:

• need to remove makeup
• wear glasses that protect the cornea from fluorescent lamps,
• go into the booth

And you can enjoy the process.

Collarium, or collagenarium, is absolutely safe. But you need to make sure that the device belongs to a trusted brand. Moreover, it must be modern.

Take a close look at the “improved” old solarium! It is better to ignore such a device, since even new lamps in it do not guarantee a good result.

Compared to a regular solarium, a collagenarium is more comfortable and safe:

• does not dry out the skin,
• does not expose it to early aging.

Doctors consider the complete absence of side effects to be an advantage of collagenarium.

Collagenarium is able to “turn back time” due to exposure to red spectrum rays. The wavelength of such radiation is about 633 nm. The ability of light waves to penetrate deep into the skin by almost a centimeter (0.8-1 cm) leads to the launch of the skin healing process.

Red light due to photosynthesis

• stimulates neocollagenesis (formation of new collagen fibers);
• enhances the “breathing” of the skin and its enrichment with oxygen;
• Active hydration of the dermis helps smooth out wrinkles and cleanse all skin layers of toxins.

Types of collariums

Collagenarium (reviews from doctors will be provided) involves the use of three types of devices:

1. Horizontal collarium (of 15-30 lamps). The salon visitor is located (in a supine position) in a special capsule. The gentle radiation mode allows you to evenly distribute light waves throughout the entire perimeter of the body.
2. Vertical collarium (of 42-48 lamps). The sound apparatus is a booth in which procedures are performed while standing. This option is more popular than the horizontal collarium. The reason for this preference is that it is difficult for clients to remain in an upright position for a long time during the procedure.

   
   This is what a vertical apparatus for collagenarium looks like

3. Table collarium (of 10-15 lamps). This type of collarium is an alternative to professional booths in salons. The structure of the mini-device is three panels (two of them are movable) with 200 W of device power. The procedure time at home is up to 25 minutes.

Effect and result of the procedure

Switzerland is the country that developed the collagenarium. According to social surveys (Piano Clinic, Switzerland), women positively assessed the effectiveness of light therapy as follows:

• skin tightening throughout the body - 97% of clients;
• lifting in the face-neck-décolleté area - 89% of women;
• improvement in the general condition of the skin - 68% of clients.

The opinion of domestic consumers is divided. Most clients of beauty salons note the disappearance of “stars” (deformations of blood vessels on the face and body), anti-cellulite effect, smoothing of wrinkles around the eyes and elimination of postpartum stretch marks.

Some forum visitors voiced an additional benefit from the collagenarium - a reduction in pain during menstruation and normalization of the monthly cycle.

Clients who are dissatisfied with the procedure consider collagenrium a useless procedure. In most cases, women either do not complete the full course of therapy or do not use cosmetics to enhance the effect of red and blue rays on problem areas of the skin.

The effect and results of the procedures appear after completing the full course of light therapy. The first changes are observed after 10 visits to the salon: wrinkles are significantly smoothed out, and the skin tone is evened out and becomes matte.

Effect duration

You should not expect the results of the procedure to last for a long time. The rejuvenation effect can be observed within 3 months (in some cases for six months) after the sessions.

If you want to extend the stated period, you must visit the salon twice after the main course of therapy every 7 days. The duration of each procedure is 15 minutes.

Indications

For girls under 25 years old, it is enough to use a moisturizer morning and evening to nourish the skin so that the epidermis ultimately looks well-groomed and healthy.

Unambiguous recommendations for the use of light therapy are the following indicators:

• loss of skin elasticity (flabbiness and sagging);
• excessive dryness of the epithelium (lack of moisture in the tissues);
• skin defects (pigment spots and freckles);
• heliodermatitis (photoaging);
• cellulite and stretch marks on the body;
• acne and comedones;
• skin problems due to reduced immunity.

Collagenarium is prescribed regardless of skin type, skin tone, age and gender of the client.

What can you get as a result?

• The structure and appearance of the skin improves;
• Pores become narrower;
• Small wrinkles are smoothed out and deep wrinkles become less noticeable;
• The turgor (elasticity) of the skin increases;
• The tone of the dermis is strengthened;
• The complexion becomes even and age spots disappear;
• Skin cells are saturated with moisture;
• The phenomena of rosacea (vascular spider veins and spider veins) are visually reduced;
• Blood microcirculation improves, which leads to stimulation of blood supply to tissues and their saturation with oxygen;
• Improvement of oily problem skin occurs due to the bactericidal and drying effect of collagen lamps;
• Light therapy helps to moisturize and heal dry skin, but it is advisable to treat it with special cosmetics before the session.

Duration of therapy courses

The procedure itself lasts approximately 7-15 minutes. To achieve maximum effect, it is recommended to complete a full course of light therapy - 10 sessions.

The goal setting affects the duration of the visit to the collagenarium:

• revitalization of the skin—10 sessions over 3-4 weeks;
• regeneration of the epidermis - 20 sessions (20 minutes each) over 5-7 weeks;
• tightening sagging skin - 30 sessions (20 minutes each) over 8-10 weeks.

The general rule for all courses of therapy is 2-3 sessions per week with a break of no more than 3-4 days. The duration of each session depends on the power of the lamps, so it is recommended to contact professional salons. These establishments use 180 W lamps. The result is time and money saved.

Promotions about an immediate effect after 100-200 minutes of light therapy are a well-publicized myth. Smoothing out wrinkles using the stated term is only possible for young girls with minor facial folds.

Duration of exposure

The duration of a collagen therapy session is 5 – 25 minutes.

The exact duration of the procedure should be determined by a specialist, taking into account:

• Patient's skin condition
• The ultimate goal of treatment and impact,
• Device power.

General recommendations that you can follow when visiting a collagen solarium if there are no contraindications:

Collarium type	Duration of exposure in minutes
Vertical professional devices (Alisun Excellence V)	Up to 2 times a week, the optimal session duration is 8 – 10 minutes, the maximum is 15 minutes.
Horizontal professional devices	Up to 2 times a week, duration – 15-20 minutes.
Homemade collagenariums	Up to 3 times a week, optimally 20 minutes, maximum – 25 minutes.

Collarium visiting programs

The stated targets are necessary to achieve the following effect:

1. Revival. The procedure normalizes metabolism, removes toxins and waste from the body. When hydration and cellular nutrition are activated, metabolism accelerates. The result is an improvement in the condition of the skin and its tone.

2. Regeneration. The purpose of the second stage after rejuvenation is to heal problem areas of the skin and increase its moisture level. After completing the course, the top coat acquires a healthy color. Senile and congenital pigmentation is eliminated, pores are narrowed and comedones are removed.
3. Lift. The collagen structure of the skin requires constant strengthening. When collagen production is activated, wrinkles and fine lines are filled, making the epidermis elastic without excessive tension.

Cosmetics and natural effect enhancers

To improve the effect of the procedure, various cosmetics are used. They are designed to maximize the impact of red and blue lamps on the skin.

Recommended cosmetics for collagenarium (before the procedure):

• cleansing cream to remove dirt from the skin;
• scrub lotion based on vitamins for light peeling;

• facial serum to prepare the basis for light therapy;
• nourishing lotion for dry and flaky skin.

Natural ingredients should predominate in the composition of the products. The most popular are medicinal cosmetics based on extracts of pomegranate, grape seeds, lavender, hyaluronic acid and moisturizing oils.

Recommended enhancers of the effect of light therapy after the procedure:

• spray or lotion for additional collagen production;
• restoring cream with a soothing and cooling effect;
• strengthening serum after the procedure;
• lotion for additional smoothing of skin structure and color.

The basis of light therapy amplifiers are microelements, vitamins and natural substances that are useful for nourishing and moisturizing skin tissue.

What is this procedure?

This is a procedure for improving the appearance of the skin by exposing it to light lamps. Collarium can be figuratively called an improved version of a solarium.

To be even more precise, collarium can be considered a procedure that combines tanning and skin treatment. How does this happen?

The beneficial effect occurs due to the fact that the apparatus with which the collarium session is carried out is equipped with two types of lamps emitting rays of different spectrums:

• Ultraviolet rays, as in a solarium, have a cosmetic effect. They give the skin a chocolate tint - making it evenly tanned.
• Red rays, as in phototherapy, have a healing effect. They create a healing effect - they enhance collagen production. The treatment procedure using red lamps is called collagenarium.

Thus, a collarium is a tandem of a solarium and a collagenarium. Conventionally, the collarium formula can be written as follows: solarium + collagenarium = collarium.

Precautionary measures

Before the session, you should clean your face of makeup (makeup remover). A burn during collagenarium is excluded because the procedure does not involve exposure to ultraviolet radiation on the skin. Glasses are required due to the bright light in the capsule cabin. To be on the safe side, it is recommended to consult a specialist if you are allergic to light.

In case of ophthalmological diseases (without clear contraindications), additional eye protection must be used during the session.

Women who use laser hair removal should temporarily refrain from collagen therapy. The interval between two procedures should be at least 2-3 days. At best, such a combination will not cause significant harm to health.

The main warning is that when choosing a salon, you must give preference to proven points for creating beauty. Such centers should be equipped with modern equipment from well-known brands.

The warning that clients with tattoos should not have light therapy is a myth. Eyebrow and eyelid tattooing is also not a contraindication if you want to visit a collagenarium. Practice shows that extended nails and eyelashes will not be damaged during a light therapy session.

Contraindications

Collagenarium, the reviews of doctors about which are clear in terms of restrictions, is prohibited under the following factors:

1. Oncological diseases. Light therapy is unacceptable during relapse and remission of this pathology.
2. Tuberculosis. During collagenarium sessions, Koch's wand is activated in both closed and open forms of the disease.
3. Pregnancy. In any trimester, a woman carrying a child is advised to refrain from the mentioned procedure.
4. Lactation. For a woman undergoing breastfeeding, deep penetration of red rays into the epidermis of the chest is contraindicated.
5. Porphyria. The reported rare genetic pathology is associated with a disorder of pigment metabolism, which makes light therapy a dangerous procedure.
6. Epilepsy. Collagenaria is prohibited at any stage of the disease: in remission and during repeated seizures.

7. Hyperthyroidism (thyrotoxicosis). If you have hyperthyroidism, it is dangerous to attend light therapy sessions. This disease involves taking Methotrexate, which can cause thyrotoxic porphyria.
8. Photodermatosis. An allergy to sunlight makes it inadmissible to take a collagenarium course. The warning applies not only to people who cannot tolerate sunlight exclusively in the summer.
9. Libman's disease. With lupus erythematosus, the lesions of the skin are of impressive size. Excessive irritation of these areas will cause serious consequences.
10. Overgrowth of connective tissue. A predisposition to the development of keloid scars is a direct contraindication for collagenarium.

Relative limitations of light therapy:

• excessive light sensitivity;
• conjunctivitis with relapses;
• use of photoprotective drugs;
• taking photosensitizing medications;
• consumption of certain herbal preparations (St. John's wort);
• taking psychostimulants;
• diabetes mellitus type I-II.

Children over 14 years old with acne are allowed to undergo light therapy procedures. The restriction is the permission of not only the parents, but also the attending physician.

Collagenarium - contraindications

There is an opinion that the use of collagenarium has virtually no contraindications, but this is far from true!

The absolute “taboo” for light therapy are:

• Pregnancy and lactation;
• Any oncology, including benign;
• Photophobia and eye diseases (including exacerbations of conjunctivitis);
• Tuberculosis and blood diseases;
• Skin diseases, including those associated with increased photosensitivity;
• Porphyria (most of its forms);
• Thyrotoxicosis (thyroid problems), which can cause endocrine or drug-induced porphyria;
• Taking certain medications or medicinal herbs that provoke increased sensitivity of the skin.

Possible side effects

After visiting the collagenarium, it is possible that unpleasant symptoms will appear, from which no one is immune:

• increased activity of the sebaceous glands (sweating);
• asthenopia (eye fatigue);
• migraine (headache);
• nausea (in severe cases - vomiting);

• redness of the skin (urticaria);
• increased excitability.

Collagenarium (reviews from doctors indicate the safety and effectiveness of the procedure) in rare cases has side effects. Complications arise only when the client uses the services of the salon with obvious contraindications to light therapy.

Cost of the procedure

The average price varies depending on the region and type of procedure (20-50 rubles per 1 minute).

Approximate cost in beauty salons:

• 10 visits for 20 minutes. — from 3000 rub.;
• 20 sessions of 20 min. — from 5000 rub.;
• 30 visits of 20 minutes each. — from 6000 rub.

The package includes glasses, glasses and slippers. Regular customers, as a rule, receive discounts and the opportunity to use an unlimited subscription.

What it is?

Collagen is the main protein that forms the elastic subcutaneous framework.

With age, the number of collagen fibers decreases, and protein is produced in smaller volumes due to internal and external factors affecting the body.

The skin loses its firmness and elasticity, sagging and fine wrinkles appear.

There are therapeutic and injectable agents used in collagen therapy to replenish and restore collagen. And their effectiveness is either short-lived or negligible.

In medicine and cosmetology, phototherapy (light therapy) is actively used, affecting areas of the skin with a directed beam of light.

In this way, it is possible to treat wounds and cuts, manifestations of ulcers on the mucous membranes, skin diseases, soft tissue damage, depressive states, and it is also possible to strengthen the immune system.

Studies have shown that light therapy has a regenerating effect; it affects all subcutaneous layers, including collagen.

Thanks to Swiss cosmetologists, a collagenarium was developed - a non-contact procedure with blue and red collagen lamps that can heal and rejuvenate the skin.

Collarium or collagen solarium

A device that combines the functions of a collagenarium and a solarium is called a kolarium (collagenator).

Photo of a collarium in a beauty salon

It has proven itself to be an effective means of achieving a therapeutic effect of rejuvenation and healing of the skin and a uniform, gentle tan.

Externally, the collarium resembles a cabin or capsule. The depth of impact is 8-10 millimeters.

A red collagen lamp stimulates the collagen layer, and a blue lamp affects melanin, gives an even tan and enhances the antimicrobial effect on the skin.

Devices for home use

At home, you can take care of your skin using special devices - portable light therapy devices.

The most well-known brands of collagen machines are as follows:

1. GK – 480 – K8/515W (Russia). Features of the model: compactness with length/w/h 360*75*335, light weight (3.5 kg), lamps type K515 T5L Functions: tightening, moisturizing and smoothing the skin. Estimated cost - from 47 thousand rubles.

It is possible to receive the announced models from well-known manufacturers with home delivery and with installments (credit) online.

Doctors' opinions

Reviews from doctors about collagenarium are based on conclusions about the beneficial effects of the procedure on the skin. According to experts, light therapy effectively combats the aging of human epidermal cells and restores damaged protein threads.

Doctors are unanimous in their opinion: the low power of the lamps and the uniform distribution of light to all parts of the body allows you to avoid burns. They recommend replacing the solarium with a collagenarium for clients with thin and sensitive skin. This recommendation especially applies to natural blondes and red-haired women.

Dermatologists and cosmetologists advise adhering to two rules: using professional cosmetics for collagenarium and undergoing a full course of rejuvenation therapy.

The opinion of Doctor of Medical Sciences Fiorenzo Angehrn (Swiss Association of Anti-Aging Therapy) about collagenarium is unequivocal: “Inexpensive and effective therapy with great prospects for development.”

This point of view is supported by the Hungarian dermatologist Ferenc Godor. Expert opinion: “Collagenarium is a worthy alternative to pulsed light sources (IPL).”

Domestic doctors note the need for systematic visits to the salon. Occasional cases of monitoring skin tone are a waste of effort and money.

Collagenarium (light therapy) is a unique cosmetic technology, during which, using a special preparation for collagen synthesis, the structure of the skin of the face and body is restored.

Despite the fact that the use of collagenarium is an opportunity to visually improve the structure of the skin without plastic surgery, doctors do not recommend replacing light therapy with the regular use of creams with collagen. According to numerous reviews, this alternative does not give the same result.

All cosmetic and therapeutic procedures, as well as their combinations and course selection, are carried out after mandatory consultation with a cosmetologist and are selected individually.

A well-known cause of aging, skin aging and the appearance of wrinkles is an age-related decrease in the production of collagen fibers. Due to a lack of collagen, once young, elastic, fresh skin loses its elasticity, wrinkles and folds appear, and the oval of the face sags. How to deal with this? Modern hardware cosmetology has in its arsenal many anti-aging procedures. These methods include collagenarium or collagen solarium . What is it?

Collagen and how it provides youthful skin

Collagen is a protein that is the main structural element of the body's connective tissue. Collagen is found in almost all human organs. It is the presence of collagen that ensures the strength and elasticity of cartilage, ligaments that support joints and organs in place, and gives strength to all structures of the human body.

There is a lot of collagen in the skin, to which this substance provides firmness, strength and elasticity. A sufficient amount of collagen is the key to healthy, beautiful and youthful skin. Without collagen, the skin would wrinkle and sag.

Collagen is produced by dermal cells - fibroblasts. The human body contains several types of collagen molecules; type 1 collagen predominates in the skin. Collagen fibers have a very complex structure, which ensures their strength on the one hand and elasticity on the other.

With age, collagen production in the body decreases, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin. The easiest way to restore a youthful appearance to your face and body is to restore the level of collagen formation or artificially introduce it into the body. The most effective is considered to be the resumption of natural collagen production in fibroblasts. It was for this purpose that the collagenarium was invented.

Collagenarium (collagen solarium). What is this?

The Collagenarium looks like a regular vertical or horizontal solarium. It may seem to you that they want to fool you and pretend that an ordinary solarium is a miracle device for restoring youth. But that's not true. The main distinguishing feature of the collagenarium is the type of lamps that are used here. Lamps that can force the skin to produce treasured collagen are special. From a medical point of view, collagen solarium refers to the method of phototherapy (light treatment).

Collagen tanning salons use two types of lamps – red and blue. Blue lamps generate light rays with a wavelength of 415 nm. This spectrum of light has an antimicrobial effect, improves and stimulates the immune defense of the entire body and skin as an organ.

Red collagen tanning lamps generate light with a wavelength of 633 nm. It is these lamps that are the main stimulator of the synthesis (production) of collagen fibers. In addition, when exposed to the skin, such light enhances the beneficial effects of blue lamps.

Light of the red spectrum penetrates deep into the skin by 8-10 mm. At this depth the dermis with fibroblasts is located. Light energy is absorbed by fibroblasts and activates the formation of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in them.

The effect of using collagenarium:

• skin elasticity and tone increases;
• photorejuvenation significantly improves the appearance and structure of the skin;
• enlarged pores on the face narrow;
• small wrinkles are completely smoothed out;
• deep wrinkles become less noticeable;
• pigment spots disappear;
• the overall tone of the face is evened out;
• dries and has a bactericidal effect on oily and problem skin;
• reduces the appearance of vascular network:

How many phototherapy sessions are needed for visible and lasting results?

Each person is different and responds differently to phototherapy . Since when using collagenarium, collagen is produced naturally and not artificially introduced into the body, the effect of phototherapy develops later, but it lasts much longer.

For young girls, in order to overcome the first signs of aging and skin aging, it will be enough to undergo about 20 photorejuvenation , and for older women with deeper wrinkles, at least 30 procedures per course are required. All individual appointments are made after a mandatory consultation with a doctor at the Beauty Architecture center.

Also, the duration of one light therapy session depends on the power of the lamp used. Professional collagenariums use powerful lamps (180 W), which helps you save money and time. In such conditions, 20 minutes per phototherapy session .

The minimum recommended break between sessions is two days, and the maximum is four.

The effect of a full course of procedures lasts approximately 3 to 6 months. To further maintain your skin tone, it will be enough to visit a collagen solarium two or three times a month.

Contraindications for phototherapy?

Light rays that stimulate collagen synthesis in tissues are practically harmless and have no side effects. Only in some cases it is better to refrain from using collagenarium.

Collagenary contraindications:

• tuberculosis in the active stage;
• infectious eye diseases (photosensitivity);
• skin lesions, wounds;
• taking medications that have a photosensitivity effect (increasing the sensitivity of the skin to light);
• porphyria;
• thyrotoxicosis (increased production of thyroid hormones);
• pregnancy and feeding;
• epilepsy;
• oncology;
• any systemic diseases in the active stage;

Every year new and improved rejuvenation techniques appear. Therefore, taking care of your beauty and preserving the youth of your skin for as long as possible is the responsibility of every woman who loves herself. Photorejuvenation is an inexpensive and effective procedure, the effect of which lasts a long time.

The cost of 1 minute of collagenarium is 40 rubles.
