The real meaning of aesthetics
A true aesthetic approach should be the clinical result of the perfect combination of modern technology and modern medicine. For this reason, I would like to introduce you to the latest developments in international medical aesthetics – photorejuvenation technology and hair removal technology.
1. What is photorejuvenation?
Photorejuvenation is actually a dermatological treatment method that uses pulsed intense light (IPL) for cosmetic treatment. It follows the same treatment principle as laser, which is to use the penetration of light to the skin and the absorption of intense light by pigment particles to carry out treatment. The image is to use powerful pulsed light to “disperse” the pigment particles and make the pigment spots fade away.
2.What is the treatment range of photorejuvenation?
The first category: the face has a bit of pigmentation, whether it is sunlight or freckles.
The second category: Facial laxity, fine wrinkles and age-related skin changes.
The third category: want to change the texture of the skin, want better skin elasticity, smoother skin, improve skin dullness.
Category 4: facial skin roughness, enlarged pores, acne marks, facial capillary dilation.
(1) Vascular diseases: superficial erythema (capillary dilation), facial flushing (rosacea), rosacea, rosacea (capillaries);
(2) Pigmentary diseases: sunlight-related pigmentation spots: solar pigmentation, age spots, freckles, chloasma (can be improved with other drugs);
(3) Skin texture diseases: reduce large pores, reduce wrinkles, eliminate fine lines, diminish or eliminate acne scars; make the skin smoother, shiny and elastic.
3.Who are not suitable for skin rejuvenation treatment?
Those who cannot avoid exposure to the sun before and after treatment
Inflammation of skin in the treatment area and open wounds
Scarred body
Pregnant women
Patients with mental illness or heart disease
Photosensitive skin diseases, etc.
People with high or unrealistic expectations
4.How does photorejuvenation treatment work?
Before treatment, a cold gel is usually applied to the area to be treated. Patients are asked to wear dark glasses to protect their eyes. During the treatment, the treatment head of the photorejuvenator is placed lightly on the skin to be treated and the pulsed light is released. The patient will feel a sensation similar to flicking the skin with a stretched rubber band. There is usually little need for anesthetic.
5. How many treatments are needed to achieve the desired results?
Because the number of treatments depends on the size of the patient’s skin and the extent of the lesion, a total of five treatments are usually needed, once every three weeks, each treatment lasts about 20 minutes (for the whole face); generally two to three treatments will show visible results, and five treatments are needed to consolidate the effect.
6.What are the determining factors of the treatment effect?
In the treatment process, the main body of treatment is the physician, the physician’s degree of grasp of the condition, treatment experience is very important. Some people mistakenly believe that as long as there is equipment will be able to achieve good results, which is not correct. Let’s say that the effect of the same camera is different from the photo taken by different photographers. Likewise, the same treatment equipment will have different effects when used by different physicians, after all, treatment equipment is only a tool used by physicians for treatment.
Treatment equipment is the basis of the treatment effect: first-class treatment equipment is of course important, because the treatment effect depends on the quality of the equipment itself, different equipment, the treatment effect certainly varies greatly.
Customer response to light treatment: the same physician, using the same treatment equipment, treating different patients, the efficacy is different. This is because there is a great deal of variation from person to person, which is reflected in different responsiveness to light treatment. Therefore, you may see some patients with very good results that you envy, and some with very slow results that make you feel overwhelmed, which is perfectly normal. In fact, those patients who are not obvious at the beginning, after a few more treatments, you will also be happy with the results.
7.Is there any harm to the skin with photo rejuvenation treatment?
The biggest advantage of this treatment is that it is safe and harmless to the skin. Unlike previous treatments, this treatment is a purely physical light therapy that does not change the nature or structure of the skin. It is by far the safest non-invasive treatment available.
Laser hair removal related questions
1.How does laser hair removal work?
The principle of photon hair removal is: using the absorption of melanin cells in the hair follicle to the light of specific wavelengths, causing the hair follicle to produce heat, carrying out selective destruction of the hair follicle, and achieving the effect of removing unwanted hair while avoiding damage to the surrounding tissue.
2.What are the indications of photoluminescence hair removal?
The normal parts or abnormal parts of the hairy due to genetic, racial, endocrine disorders. As well as want to improve personal image.
3.The course and interval of hair removal?
Because there are three stages of hair growth cycle – anagen phase, transition phase and dormant phase, only the hair in the anagen phase can be effectively removed. Therefore the number of treatments is related to the following factors.
1.The density of the hairs in the treatment area.
2.The color of the hair.
3. The proportion of non-anagen hair follicles in the treatment area.
4. The diameter of the hair follicle.
Generally, 4-6 times of treatment is needed, according to the hair growth cycle of about 8 weeks, so the general interval of 8 weeks.
4.Is there any possibility of side effects?
Due to the small amount of energy used in photothermal treatment technology, the occurrence of side effects is very rare. Slight redness of the treated area may occur, but such reactions usually disappear within a few hours. Minimizing sun exposure before and after each treatment will reduce the chances of side effects. After treatment, you can quickly return to your daily routine and life.
