Phototherapy method

The LED facial therapy procedure is a hardware cosmetology technique based on the ability of LED radiation to activate certain acceptor enzymes (“accelerators” of biochemical reactions in cells: hemoglobin, catalase, etc.). This also helps to influence the arrangement of atoms inside the cell and its functional state. As a result, it is possible to start the process of formation of reactive oxygen species, which activate oxidative processes.

Due to light therapy, collagen and elastin fibers are produced. In this case, melanin is blocked and the genetically inherent functional abilities of the cells are restored:

• fibrous tissue is replaced with healthy collagen;
• vessels grow, concentrated in the microvasculature of the affected areas;
• Cell membranes are restored - cell growth accelerates.

How phototherapy is carried out in each specific case is determined by the cosmetologist, based on the characteristics of the patient’s skin. If necessary, a 3D facial skin diagnosis can be performed before the session.

A positive biological effect is achieved when exposed to an optimal dose of LED radiation. It should be taken into account that white skin blocks up to 95% of incoming light, and the maximum dosage is 300 J/cm2. Stronger exposure will result in cell death. Only the doctor who performs the procedure can select the correct intensity.

In many cases, 1 - 2 procedures are enough to completely remove excess melanin in the dermis. The result is visible a few days after exposure to light (after the exfoliated pigment particles fall off).

We use Palomar ICON MaxG in our work

The device uses efficient CoolingSM cooling using a sapphire crystal. Therefore, during the procedure for laser removal of age spots on the face, the patient does not feel pain , and there is no risk of burning surrounding tissues.
The waves go through a double filtration system, so they are absorbed only by cells with a high melanin content, without damaging normal tissue. The MaxG nozzle generates waves with wavelengths of 500 – 670 nm and 870 – 1200 nm. The pigment accumulates energy, the cell is destroyed. In addition to removing age spots on the face, the device is used to combat spider veins and photoaging. Elements of tissue breakdown and the laser itself stimulate skin renewal . It becomes toned, hydrated, and its blood supply improves.

Laser operating principle

When removing pigment spots using the Palomar Icon photosystem, a special MaxG attachment is recommended. The laser beam affects pigmentation according to a specific algorithm:

• a beam of light exposure spectrum is formed;
• excess melanin, which contributes to the appearance of pigmentation, is affected by light energy;
• light energy affects melanin, breaking down unwanted tissue;
• pigmentation begins to disappear.

The laser beam, affecting the skin , reduces pigmentation, the regeneration processes of the skin begin to activate, which gives a visible rejuvenation effect.

Results you can achieve

Immediately after a laser pigment spot removal session, the treated area of ​​skin darkens. This is fine. Within 3–4 days , peeling begins and all cells with excess melanin content disappear. Under the crust you can already see light and clean skin.

In addition to the vanishing of spots and evening out the tone, the patient feels a lifting effect, rejuvenation, and hydration of facial tissues. This occurs due to the fact that the laser stimulates the regeneration of cellular elements and fibers responsible for skin tightening. The effect lasts up to several years.

Rehabilitation period

After photorejuvenation, you will need to limit the use of cosmetics, visiting the beach or solarium.
After photorejuvenation, the doctor recommends careful treatment of the skin, without exposing it to aggressive agents:

• You should avoid visiting a solarium, bathhouse or sauna.
• It is not recommended to apply decorative cosmetics in the form of foundation for 4-5 days.
• In order for the epidermis to produce healthy cells, it is worthwhile to temporarily abandon alcohol-containing care products. This dries out the renewed skin.
• As for alcohol, it is better to remove it from the diet for 5-7 days. Alcohol tends to destroy cell membranes, which adversely affects the recovery process.
• Doctors advise drinking plenty of fluids and not smoking excessively.

However, if a master of his craft does photorejuvenation of age spots, the recovery period will take several hours, not days. Unlike other complex cosmetic procedures (laser resurfacing), the skin recovers from swelling and redness much faster after manipulation.

How does the procedure work?

, glasses are worn before laser removal of pigment spots on the face . The selected area is cleaned, disinfected, and treated with gel , which improves the transmission of light rays into the skin.
The area is treated with a laser. First, sensitivity is determined, the strength and depth of impact is adjusted, focusing on the client’s sensations. The patient feels warmth or a slight tingling sensation. After the procedure, the treated surface begins to darken, peels off, and the skin begins to renew itself. It is cleaned and soothed with special cosmetics. The doctor tells you how to properly care for your skin for its speedy rehabilitation. We recommend medications that will quickly restore your skin and make you feel comfortable after laser pigmentation removal.

How many sessions are needed?

The duration and cost of the course are influenced by the nature and number of pigment manifestations. If only the upper layers of the skin are affected by the process, you can order 1-2 sessions . Deeply penetrating stains may disappear after 5-8 visits to our clinic.

Phototherapy in winter

Many people believe that phototherapy in winter is better than in summer.

• In fact, it is sunny both in winter and summer. And harmful radiation is perfectly reflected from the snow and hits the skin. Accordingly, additional sun protection after the procedure is needed exactly the same as in the summer (see above).
• Temperature changes are also not very favorable for the skin after phototherapy, so in winter it is necessary to avoid hypothermia of the skin in the first days after the procedure.

So, we conclude that the best time for phototherapy is now! And it doesn’t matter what month is on the calendar, it is important to have a competent specialist and good equipment! Well, you yourself followed all the recommendations!
