Laser acne treatment

is an effective and fast method of treating acne. Acne - acne - most often manifests itself in adolescence (during puberty), when appearance is of particular importance. Acne laser treatment will solve this problem.

Indications for the procedure

It's no secret that acne on the skin occurs due to many reasons. The prerequisites for their appearance are the presence of bacteria, pollution, excessive sebum secretion, subcutaneous mites, hormonal changes and diseases of the internal organs. In addition, the use of certain foods or medications can lead to the appearance of rashes . Laser treatment is most successful in case of acne due to:

  • increased oily skin and clogged pores with secretions;
  • activity of microorganisms and bacteria.

Quite often, both of these factors are present in the patient simultaneously, which leads to significant complexity of the skin disease. But even in such a case, the laser will be able to eliminate the root of the problem, which will lead not only to the relief of external manifestations, but also to minimize the risks of relapse.

In all other situations, even such a perfect technique will have little practical use, because it can eliminate acne only temporarily, without defeating the true cause of its occurrence. In this context, it would be rational to undergo diagnostics, specific treatment, and only then carry out aesthetic laser correction of acne and other rashes.

Causes of acne

The cause of acne is the malfunction of the sebaceous glands and the formation of plugs (comedones) in their ducts. Their surface serves as a place for active reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. This leads to irritation and purulent processes in the surrounding tissues.

Acne manifests itself in the following forms:

  • comedones - elements without signs of inflammation, which can be closed (light nodules under the skin) or open (with a black dot);
  • papules - inflammatory rashes, but without pus;
  • pustules - pimples with a white purulent head and inflammation.

Acne is a predominantly teenage disease that is caused by high levels of steroid hormones (especially androgens). They provoke excessive secretion of the sebaceous glands, and sebum acquires a viscous consistency.

Locations of acne:

  • face (forehead, nose, chin and cheeks);
  • back and shoulders;
  • breast.

How the procedure works

So, you have determined the cause of your acne and decided to undergo laser treatment. Information about exactly how this method works will certainly be useful. Its main advantages include versatility and the ability to work in several directions at once. Point radiation aimed at problem areas of the patient’s skin promotes:

  • Heat treatment and destruction of pathogenic bacteria.
  • Formation of an irritating effect, which, in turn, has a beneficial effect on local immunity and increasing the body's resistance to the reproduction and life of viruses and bacteria.
  • The production of collagen fibers and the regeneration of damaged cells, which means, in addition to therapeutic therapy, there is also an aesthetic improvement of the problem area, a reduction in scars and spots.
  • Narrowing of pores and reduction of sebaceous secretions.

Reviews

What users of the service write online:

“I have long struggled with acne and the scars that remain after it. Initially, I tried to squeeze them out myself, and then smear the dark spots with various creams. All my actions only aggravated the situation and more and more inflammations appeared. I read about laser treatment from the Internet. I studied this topic for several weeks and finally decided to undergo the procedure, although I was very afraid. The entire procedure with skin cleansing, laser exposure and a soothing mask lasted no more than 1.5 hours. I was pleased with the result, although I already saw the effect after 1-2 days, when the skin calmed down a little.”

Irina, 36 years old

“Literally from my student days, I suffered from various skin problems, such as acne, pimples and even boils, which caused a lot of inconvenience. I tried everything I could to get rid of pimples: I squeezed it out on my own, lubricated the skin with various tinctures and creams, and adjusted my diet. But, alas, nothing helped. Only a qualified dermatologist and cosmetologist helped me. A laser was prescribed, which saved me from aesthetic problems in just two days. What I had been struggling with for years went away instantly!”

Andrey, 31 years old

“My son suffered from acne for a long time, and his skin was very inflamed. I read on the Internet about the effects of lasers and decided to consult with doctors. It was difficult to persuade my son to have a laser procedure. The results of the treatment were very pleasing, because now my son has an even tone and smooth facial skin.”

Alisa, 37 years old

Main stages of the procedure

Laser treatment does not require any special preparation. The only general recommendation before the procedure is a ban on visiting a solarium or taking active sunbathing for about 5 to 7 days.

The therapy session itself in most cases lasts about 10-15 minutes. To begin with, the problem area of ​​the face or body is cleaned of all dirt or makeup, disinfected, and only then treated with a special conductive composition. The specialist clearly assesses the individual characteristics of each patient, and based on them sets the intensity and depth of radiation. At the end of the manipulations, a special soothing mask is applied to the treated skin.

As for the general characteristics of the procedure, they certainly include short duration and complete painlessness. During exposure, most patients feel a pleasant warmth and a very slight tingling sensation; there is no need for any anesthesia.

It will be possible to evaluate the results obtained within a few hours after completion of the session, however, it should be remembered that treatment of this kind in most situations is carried out in a course of 3 to 6 procedures with a break of one week to 12 days

What is soft laser therapy (cold level laser therapy)?

Soft laser

is a laser beam with a low-level power in the range of 1-1000 mW, monochromatic (with one specific wavelength) and coherent type, i.e.
is single-phase and unidirectional radiation. This radiation affects the surface of the skin and simultaneously penetrates the skin without damaging or heating it. Soft laser therapy
causes
bio-stimulation
of the natural processes of self-healing of the living body at the level of cells and body systems.
The result of this effect is that each type of cell receives the energy necessary for its optimal functioning, which promotes “self-healing” and natural relief from certain health problems
, be it

Acupuncture treatment

Over the past few years, the use of soft lasers

has been adopted by healers as a complementary tool to traditional needle healing.
While a needle is required to hit the points, laser acupuncture
is precise without the extra effort.
The laser beam naturally covers a large area and therefore always acts in the right place. Unlike needles, a soft laser beam is non-invasive, does not cause pain
, and has the ability to penetrate more deeply, as it can penetrate deep into bones, tendons and muscles.

Operating principle of the Bi-Cure laser

Low power laser energy

When our body absorbs the energy of a laser beam, several chain reactions occur simultaneously: stimulation of blood circulation, stimulation of cellular activity and increase in the intensity of intercellular communication.

For best results

Therapy of the problem area of ​​the body: if the area of ​​the area exceeds 1×4.5 cm, conduct a session on the areas around the treated area until the entire required area has been treated.

Keep the device on the treated area and do not move it. After finishing treating an area of ​​4.5cm2 (the cross-sectional area of ​​the laser beam) for the recommended time (4-8 minutes depending on the type of treatment), move the laser beam to an adjacent area. This way the entire problem area will receive optimal treatment. Avoid simultaneous treatment of large areas with circular laser movements across the body.

Treatment sessions should be repeated 2-4 times a day; therapy after receiving a burn or injury should begin immediately and repeat up to 10 consecutive sessions. We would like to remind you that ultra-long laser therapy does not cause any harm.

The first session for the treatment of chronic pain and ailments should not exceed 1.5 minutes. If the pain intensifies after the first session, this means that the process of bio-stimulation is taking place. In this case, we recommend stopping treatment for 24 hours and then continuing it, starting with a session of 1.5 minutes and so on until the pain stops intensifying. Continue therapy, gradually increasing the dose until it reaches the recommended value and corresponds to your personal feeling.

For internal pain, such as back or hip pain, or inflammation, we recommend that you activate the laser by directly pressing the screen (No. 5) to the skin, rather than by pressing the “start” button.

Continue therapy continuously: Treatment should be carried out on a daily basis and continuously. Always complete the entire cycle of sessions prescribed in the table, even if you notice an improvement in your well-being. It is important to note that the Bi-Cure laser helps not only in treatment, but also in strengthening the immune system.

Maintaining cleanliness: It is recommended to wipe the outside of the pressure start switch from time to time with a 70% alcohol solution.

In case of acute pain, injury or burns, begin treatment immediately and carry out up to 10 consecutive sessions of 6-8 minutes. each, at intervals of 5 minutes. between sessions. For chronic pain, treatment should be continued until the pain disappears or decreases. The laser treatment time is not limited.

Precautionary measures

  • The soft laser does not damage or burn cellular tissue, even if used for longer than recommended.
  • Do not use the device for treatment on the back or abdomen of a pregnant woman, or for treatment of people suffering from cancer.
  • Caution: Never point the laser beam at anyone's eyes!

Medical Advice – It is always a good idea to seek professional medical advice.

Clinical examinations prove...

Over the past decade, more than 2,000 studies have been published on the use of soft laser therapy (LLLT) for pain relief, as well as nearly 100 double-blind studies confirming the clinical value of laser therapy. On the company's website www.gd-energies.com you will find footnotes to interesting studies - for this you just need to click on the “Clinical studies” sign. It is important to note that most of the examinations carried out to date have used “old generation” equipment and the frequency of treatment sessions does not exceed 1-3 times a week, which is not enough to obtain optimal results. Thanks to its portability and high performance, the B-CURETM LLLT-808 laser allows for immediate and frequent daytime treatment sessions, which significantly improves the treatment process. Indeed, recent trials using B-CURETM LLLT-808 demonstrate better results and increased effectiveness compared to previous studies.

Rehabilitation and side effects

Laser treatment is in high demand due to the almost complete absence of side effects, but they can still occur. Thus, in the first hours after treatment of the skin, slight swelling and redness are observed. Unpleasant complications go away within about a day without special treatment or care.

The rehabilitation period for the problem area lasts about a week; upon completion of the allotted period, the patient can return to therapeutic procedures. During the specified time, you should avoid visiting saunas, baths and solariums. In addition, regardless of the time of year, it would be a good idea to use a cream with a high sun protection factor before going outside.

Why do spots appear on the face?

Emerging acne and pimples on the body are accompanied by inflammatory processes, during which a large amount of melanin can be formed, which can change the color of the skin. Unfortunately, it will take a lot of time to return the uniform and normal color and health of the skin. The rehabilitation period depends on how deeply the skin was affected, what the intensity of the inflammatory process was, and in which area of ​​the face there were aesthetic problems. Sometimes a combination of such reasons causes a fairly strong persistence of skin pigmentation. Incorrectly carried out or selected treatment also provokes the appearance of spots on the body. The situation can also be aggravated by getting rid of acne on your own, for example, by mechanical squeezing, which creates new foci of inflammation. Injuring the skin for a long time or ignoring the constant appearance of acne also threatens severe skin pigmentation.

It is worth remembering, whatever the cause of pimples, blackheads or boils, in order to avoid facial skin pigmentation, it is recommended to quickly get rid of aesthetic problems with the help of a professional cosmetologist or dermatologist.

Advantages of the technique

Let's be more specific about what the main advantages of eliminating pimples, blackheads and other skin rashes with laser are. Thus, experts note the following advantages of the technique:

  • Possibility of eliminating both mature and still hidden pimples.
  • The ultra-small volume of the directed beam allows you to achieve the effect of local treatment of the affected tissue and not affect healthy skin.
  • The ability not only to eliminate acne, but also to minimize the consequences of their appearance.
  • High efficiency with a minimum of complications and discomfort.
  • Short rehabilitation period.
  • The possibility of an individual approach to the problem by adjusting the settings of the device, the intensity of radiation and the depth of its penetration.
  • Can be used at any age and for any skin type.

Types of lasers

Thanks to the effects of laser, it is possible to solve many aesthetic problems that not only worsen appearance, but also contribute to low self-esteem. Today there are such types of lasers as:

  • Carbon dioxide CO2 laser. This type of equipment has been used in cosmetology for more than 40 years. Using the equipment, you can remove severe pigmentation, tattoos, scars, scars, post-acne and even tumors. Carbon dioxide laser treatment is characterized by a short rehabilitation period and minimal complications, which occur quite rarely.
  • Erbium laser. The equipment is based on an yttrium aluminum garnet crystal. Laser equipment has fairly high operating accuracy and minimal disadvantages. The laser effectively removes stretch marks and is excellent for peeling and lifting.
  • Laser system "Foton". The beam of the laser device penetrates to a depth of 8 mm, which allows you to treat acne and effectively relieve inflammatory processes.
    This type of laser is suitable for the treatment of spider veins, as well as for the removal of dark and light hair. Laser treatment of acne, scars, blackheads and boils is becoming increasingly popular due to its accessibility, painlessness and simplicity of the procedure. The laser allows you to get rid of aesthetic problems, gain self-confidence, and improve your appearance.

Care

After cleansing activities, increased attention should be paid to the condition of the skin. It needs to be constantly moisturized. For this purpose, the specialist recommends medicinal ointments or cosmetic creams that nourish the skin and speed up the process of its recovery.

A day after laser therapy, peeling of the skin may occur. This is explained by the activation of regenerative functions. In this way, the epidermis is cleansed of dead cells. Therefore, this effect is considered quite normal.

Peeling is possible for at least seven days. At this time, under no circumstances should you tear off pieces of the dermis yourself. To clean the surface of the skin, you need to use a mild peeling, which only your doctor can choose correctly.

After laser therapy, avoid overheating and drying out the skin. Therefore, it is strictly prohibited:

  • take a hot bath;
  • sunbathe both in a solarium and under the open rays of the sun;
  • visit saunas and steam baths.

To prevent the appearance of rashes, it is necessary to protect the surface of the skin from exposure to any negative factors, since after a cleansing procedure it is most prone to damage by harmful bacteria.
