Photoepilation and photorejuvenation. Photoepilation: reviews, prices

Ultraviolet rays, the surrounding atmosphere, age and stressful situations do not have the best effect on the condition of our skin. Its elasticity decreases, and appear. And all this against the background of such cosmetic problems as, and. It turns out that there is a whole direction that can save you from all the troubles at once, and it is called - photocosmetology.

What is photocosmetology

This is the effect of light on various skin structures. Simply put, phototherapy, or treatment with light. And this direction is divided into two large sections: photoepilation (destruction of hair with light) and photorejuvenation (impact on various skin structures in order to rejuvenate it).

Photoepilation

When it was noticed that the skin can be affected by light, the well-known laser hair removal- hair removal with a light beam of a certain length. Over time, it turned out that if there is little pigment in the hair, then it is an unreliable target and practically cannot absorb light. Just as a black dress attracts the sun's rays faster, so dark hair receives a laser beam much faster and easier than light hair. A new problem has arisen - the inability of the laser to destroy blond hair. Epilation of such hair became less effective, and burns often occurred on dark skin under its influence.

Scientists began to develop more versatile technology. As a result, it was created device for photoepilation. Unlike a laser, which has only one, strictly defined wavelength, a photoepilation device has several of them, which creates a wide range of effects. Therefore, the color, stiffness and depth of the hair are not important. With this procedure, the skin can really be made absolutely smooth.

The main advantages of the method

• Non-contact.
• Painlessness.
• Individual selection of exposure modes in accordance with skin type, color and depth of hair follicles
• The absence of any side effects (the skin does not interact with light, does not overheat and does not get burned).

How does the impact

A transparent gel is applied to hair shortened to 1 mm, through which a flash of light passes. A powerful stream of light energy penetrates the hair (a target for light), where it is converted into thermal energy, into resulting in the destruction of the growth part of the hair follicle . The hair breaks down and falls out after a few days.

Duration of the procedure

• The entire surface of the legs - 1.5 hours.
• Bikini area - 10-20 minutes.

Repeated procedures

To permanently get rid of unwanted hair, the photoepilation procedure must be repeated.. The fact is that under the influence of light, as with any type of hair removal, only those bulbs that were in the active growth phase are destroyed. The intervals between procedures depend on the time of ripening of the bulb. In different parts of the body, the periods of hair growth are different. For the face, for example, the interval between procedures is 3-4 weeks, on the legs - often up to 2 months.

The number of procedures is individual and depends on many reasons: the hormonal background, the constitution of a particular person, the use of certain methods of depilation. Usually 3-5 visits are sufficient.

Photorejuvenation

Our skin sensitively reacts both to proper and caring care, and to an inattentive attitude towards ourselves. If we also take into account the factors of heredity, illness and stress that we are exposed to daily, then the result is easy to guess. Our skin ages, and much faster than we would like. Photorejuvenation procedure avoids actual skin aging.

What else can be done with photorejuvenation

• Eliminate dilated vessels and spider veins.
• Get rid of age spots and freckles.
• Remove hypertrophic scars.
• To achieve the effect of skin rejuvenation by activating the production of collagen.
• Significantly shrink enlarged pores, cure rosacea.
• Correct complications and restore the skin after various types of resurfacing.

How does the impact

In the elimination of dilated vessels or spider veins, a cooling gel is applied to the treated area, through which a light pulse passes. A beam of light affects pathologically dilated vessels, they disintegrate, and skin takes on a natural color.

When removing age spots, the target for the beam is the melanin pigment. It absorbs light, its structure changes, and the pigment spot first darkens, and then disappears.

During the rejuvenation procedure, and also in acne treatment and skin rehabilitation after polishing, the light beam warms up certain layers of the skin, as a result of which the synthesis of collagen fibers is activated, it becomes more elastic, even, toned, and the pores narrow.

Duration of the procedure

Photorejuvenation - a great alternative to plastic surgery. The procedure takes a maximum of half an hour, does not require any rehabilitation period (you can even immediately use decorative cosmetics), is carried out in a course with an interval of 3-4 weeks, and the result is stored for 2-3 years. Then, if necessary, you can conduct a small maintenance course.

Another dignity of phototherapy. There are no age restrictions for her. You can resort to this method at the age of 18-19 to get rid of freckles. At 25-27 years old, photorejuvenation will help maintain the required level of collagen. Aging skin will help restore freshness and youth.

Contraindications for phototherapy

• Tanned skin. After intensive exposure to the sun, you should not do the photorejuvenation procedure for two weeks.
• Skin diseases, inflammatory processes.
• Pregnancy.
• Severe hormonal disorders.

Recently, IPL-systems, which are actively used in cosmetology, have gained particular popularity. Thanks to the unique properties that IPL has, it has become possible to achieve a significant breakthrough in skin rejuvenation. Now cosmetologists can easily remove pronounced age-related changes. Moreover, increased collagen synthesis contributes to the elimination of broken blood vessels and age spots. The rays easily penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and act on the hair follicles, reducing their size until completely destroyed.

Photoepilation

Photoepilation has managed to win a large number of supporters, which continues to grow. This result is due to the safety of the procedure and the long-term effect. Many women have seen the effectiveness of photoepilation. This procedure allows you to get rid of unwanted hair forever. These amazing results are obtained by the device for photoepilation. To get rid of excess hair for a long time or permanently, it is necessary to destroy the hair follicle from which the hair grows. Controlled pulses of light penetrate the surface layer of the skin and are absorbed by melanin, a natural pigment found in hair.
Melanin transforms light into thermal energy, which is transferred to the follicle and leads to its destruction and permanent cessation of hair growth. The number of sessions that will be required for high-quality removal is determined by the specialist depending on the condition of the skin and hair structure.

Photorejuvenation

Skin rejuvenation is the removal of pigmented skin disorders. Age spots can occur due to sunburn, hereditary and hormonal factors, during the natural aging of the skin. The device for photorejuvenation of the skin acts selectively, that is, the light emitted by the device is carefully controlled by special filters. As a result, the skin is affected by pulses of exactly the wavelength and power that is necessary in order to destroy the cells of the pigmented area of ​​the skin without damaging the surrounding tissues.
The device for photorejuvenation of the skin is also very effective in combating facial rosacea.

Synonyms: "IPL" is short for Intense Pulsed Light, which means "Intense Pulsed Light".

What does it mean?
This is the so-called "true photorejuvenation", that is, a procedure aimed at improving the texture of the skin, increasing its tone, reducing pores, smoothing fine wrinkles, and a lifting effect.

How does Photorejuvenation work?
The mechanism of photorejuvenation is based on the principle of selective photothermolysis - selective absorption of light by any colored tissues (targets, chromophores) with their subsequent heating and destruction. In this case, the tissues surrounding the target remain intact.

Manifestations of vascular pathology are corrected due to thermal coagulation of vessels. The chromophore that interacts with light, in this case, is hemoglobin. Age spots disappear or lighten due to the destruction of melanin pigment. Modeling of exposure modes (an individually selected combination of flash parameters: the number of pulses, the duration and power of each pulse, the duration of the relaxation period) makes it possible to achieve pronounced selectivity, that is, the targeted destruction of a pathological formation without a significant impact on the surrounding structures and tissues.

How long does the procedure take?

The duration of one procedure is usually from 20 to 45 minutes.

How painful is the procedure?
Everyone has their own pain threshold, but in almost all cases it does not require the use of anesthetics. Most clients compare their sensations to the click of a rubber band on their skin.
How many photorejuvenation procedures are required?
It is recommended from 4 to 8 procedures, 1 time in 2-3 weeks. Maintenance procedures - 1 procedure every 6 months.

Results of photorejuvenation?

General healing and rejuvenating effect - the skin "comes to life", acquires an even light color, its structure and turgor improve:

The procedure is non-traumatic and non-invasive - i.e. does not imply any intervention in the epidermis. What is the principle of photorejuvenation?

A high-intensity light source selectively generates pulses with wavelengths between 550 and 1200 nm. The light flux thus stimulates the formation of new elastin and collagen, eliminates pigment, vascular changes. Thus, using a properly selected power of a light pulse, it is possible to restore youth to the skin - to stimulate and resume the processes of regeneration and natural synthesis in the epidermis.

The procedure takes from 15 to 30-40 minutes maximum. For a modern active woman, it is important that immediately after a photorejuvenation session, you can continue your usual lifestyle. Traces of treatment will not be visible.

Photoepilation (light hair removal)- the most effective, safe and painless way to remove unwanted or excess hair. What is the essence of this method? Photoepilation is based on the absorption of light energy. The melanin pigment concentrated in the follicle (hair shaft and bulb) absorbs light energy. From the thermal effect of light, the follicle is destroyed.

Photoepilation- a universal technique, as it allows you to effectively remove hair of different colors from people of different phototypes and ages. Photoepilation, in contrast to laser removal techniques, affects a wider color spectrum of hair, i.e. removes hair of any color and structure on all skin types and on any part of the body. Only very light and gray hair is not amenable to photoepilation - they do not have melanin, which absorbs light energy.

From 3 to 6 procedures with an interval of several weeks to one and a half months, allow you to achieve a lasting long-term effect. Already during the first sessions, the structure of the hair begins to change, the hair becomes thinner, sparse.

• Pain effect during photoepilation is practically absent
• No risk of infection (skin integrity is not compromised)
• Any skin phototype and type of hair is subject to photoepilation
• Irreversible hair loss.
