Laser beauty is a non-surgical beauty method that has emerged in recent years. By irradiating the skin with the right amount of laser light, doctors can make the skin fine and smooth in a short time. However, because of the lack of understanding and even misunderstanding of laser beauty, many people stop to become beautiful. Today, to uncover the truth about the many misconceptions about laser beauty!
1, laser beauty will make the skin thinner?
No. Many people think that laser beauty will damage the skin, the surface of the skin is destroyed, just like the wall skin is chiseled off, the thinner you do. In fact, after 25 years old our skin with the growth of age, collagen and elastin loss, skin gradually thinner. And laser lightens pigmentation, removes small dilated blood vessels, repairs photo-damaged skin and improves the appearance of the skin through selective thermal action.
At the same time, the photothermal action of laser can activate skin fibroblasts, increase collagen expression, produce molecular structure changes in dermal collagen fibers and elastin fibers, increase the number, rearrange, and restore skin elasticity, thus achieving the effect of reducing wrinkles and pores. Therefore, laser cosmetology not only will not make the skin thinner, but also will make the thickness of the skin increase, and make it tighter and more elastic, and transform to youthfulness.
2.Will the laser beauty make the skin sensitive?
No. Many people believe that laser cosmetic skin thinning, skin without the protection of the “old skin”, the skin will become sensitive, not heat-resistant, not wind-resistant, sensitive to cosmetics.
It is true that after a laser procedure, the epidermal moisture is reduced, or the stratum corneum is damaged; scabs can form with exfoliative laser treatments. But all the “damage” is within control, will heal, the new healing skin has a complete structure (including the stratum corneum, stratum corneum even without treatment, there will be old and new turnover) and the function of the old and new, so the science of laser beauty will not make the skin become sensitive.
3.Will laser cosmetology produce dependence (addiction)?
No. Many people believe that the effect of laser beauty is possible, but once done, it will produce dependence (addiction), not to do will rebound or deteriorate. Those who hold this view do not understand the law of aging and the science of beauty.
The aging of human skin is continuous and will not be stopped by anything, all we do is to slow down the pace of aging.
Laser cosmetic treatment is like cleaning a dirty room, the treatment will be better, after a while it will still be dirty and still needs to be cleaned. To get more desirable results, it is inevitable that multiple treatments or maintenance treatments are needed, not because we are dependent on or addicted to lasers, but because the rotation of the wheel of age requires it.
4.Is one (session) of laser cosmetic treatment a complete solution to my problem?
No. This question is only to get two answers: 1) how many times to treat, and 2) whether the treatment can be maintained permanently.
The human body is complex, each person’s response to a certain stimulus and its degree is different, the same problem, some people three times to get very good results, some people seven or eight times may not get good results. It is like the amount of alcohol some people drink a couple of white wine to get drunk, and some people drink a pound without falling down.
For example, freckles are hereditary diseases, which can only be maintained for a period of time after treatment, and there is always a certain degree of recurrence afterwards. For example, freckles are hereditary diseases, and after treatment, it can only last for a period of time, and there is always a certain degree of recurrence.
5.I need to protect myself from the sun after laser cosmetic treatment, can I not do the treatment anymore?
No, you can’t. After laser cosmetic treatment, there are clear requirements for sun protection, generally within 3 months after treatment, pay attention to sun protection to avoid pigmentation.
However, it is important to point out that sun protection is not the only thing that should be taken care of after laser cosmetic treatment. Research shows that the sun’s ultraviolet rays are the main killer of skin photoaging (pigmentation, erythema, fine wrinkles), from the perspective of preventing photodamage and protecting the skin, no matter what time it is necessary to pay attention to sun protection, and according to different environments choose different sunscreen.
6.Is laser beauty absolutely safe and risk-free?
No. Many people are told in the beauty salon, do laser beauty bar, how good, how safe, the truth is really so? Laser cosmetic surgery also has risks.
(1) pain: even if the laser hair removal claimed to be painless ice point, to finally reach the amount of treatment is still painful feeling (energy accumulation to the amount of treatment is bound to have the feeling), of course, the pain is generally terminated with the end of treatment.
(2) Erythema, purpura, blistering or crusting: the nature of laser action is thermal damage, so there are often these kinds of manifestations, in most cases these symptoms are the inevitable accompanying symptoms of treatment, sometimes it is the energy regulation and the body does not adapt to the performance.
(3) Pigmentation: Most people’s skin can be whitened and tightened by laser cosmetology, and most people are safe after laser cosmetology as long as they pay attention to sun protection, but for some diseases (melasma), some people (recent sun exposure, or photosensitive substances intake) may instead appear pigmentation (skin color may be darker than before treatment), which requires weeks or even months of recovery.
(4) Acne-like rash: In some cases, acne was originally treated, but the first treatment may instead induce an acne-like rash, usually of a temporary nature. Of course, there may be other adverse reactions to different treatments. Therefore, there are risks associated with laser aesthetics, and treatment should be done with caution!
