Although aging is a natural process, people have been looking for ways to reverse it throughout history. With the increase of technological advances in modern rejuvenation treatments the desire to look young, especially in women is even more in demand.
Why is skin aged?
Genetically factors, stress, sun, being sleepless, working conditions and food habits cause skin to age easily and nevertheless, skin continuously renews itself and repairs the effects of aging. Of course, repair ratio in cells slows down after the certain age. Skin's collagen production decreases, and aging indications such as skin loosening, wrinkles, sun spots, and gradually thinning of skin appear.
Can We Prevent Skin Aging?
Unfortunately medicine does not have any invention which prevents skin from aging but it is possible to delay the aging process. Strengthening the ligament of skin and therefore increasing the collagen production triggers the skin to enter natural repair process and slows down aging.
Skin Rejuvenating with Laser
It is a treatment method which is based on scanning the skin with laser beams, transforming the laser beams into heat and increasing the collagen production here. Collagen production insures new tissue formation, which makes the skin look toned and lively.
Which Laser Types are Used in Treatment?
Synergistic treatments from two wavelengths working together
Enabled by the expanded capabilities of the Nd:YAG and Er:YAG wavelengths, the Dynamis Pro provides up to four dimensions of treatment. Fotona's complementary Er:YAG and Nd:YAG wavelengths are synergistically applied in 4 different modes: SMOOTH®, FRAC3®, PIANO® and SupErficial™ to work on deeper, medial and superficial connective structures of the skin, while simultaneously targeting different skin imperfections. Multiple treatment modalities range from the 2-dimensional TwinLight® procedure to the 4-dimensional Fotona4D™ procedure. Fotona's 4D laser treatment enables full-thickness contraction of collagen for persistent, low-downtime tightening and volumization (wrinkle reduction) without injectables. Combining these 4 unique modes and two complementary wavelengths results in a respectable "SmoothLiftin" treatment.
Co2 fractional laser beams are used in treatment
Co2 Fractional Laser System
Co2 fractional laser beams are an effective treatment method which can affect the above and under part of skin. It opens micro channels in skin and triggers collagen generation.
Treatment Process
Micro wounds which occur in skin after Co2 fractional laser treatment appear as slight redness. Scabs which occur later will slowly lose their effect. Skin will return to its normal state approximately 1-2 weeks later. Increase in collagen generation and renewal of ligament and visible recovery of skin will start 2-3 months after the treatment ends and will continue for around 12-18 months.
Number of Sessions
As well as generally single session can be sufficient, treatment can be applied up to 6 sessions.
Session duration and Session Intervals
Session duration is on average 20-30 minutes. 2-4 weeks are foreseen as interval between sessions.
Warnings Before Treatment
Before the treatment;
- Sunbathing and solarium should be avoided,
- Medicines(aspirin, coraspin, plavix vs.) which prevent the coagulation should not be taken.
- Medicines which are frequently used in Acne treatment such as Isotretinoin and Retinoid group should not be taken.
- People who had experience fever blister (herpes) problem before should share this information with their doctor.
- Peeling and similar operations should be avoided, if peeling operation was performed doctor should be informed.
Warnings Post treatment
After treatment direct sunlight and solarium should be avoided. This sensitivity should be applied for 6 months period, if possible. High factor sun protectors should be used during this period. Wearing hat and sunglasses in summer are within preventive measures.
- First day shower should not be taken, and warm shower should be preferred for 1 week period.
- Peeling should be avoided for 1-2 months period.
- There is no contraindication to make up after one week.
