AFT rejuvenation (Advanced Fluorescence Technology) is a new generation of techniques for correcting age-related skin changes using pulsed light flux.
How does the AFT rejuvenation method work?
AFT rejuvenation is intelligent light therapy. The principle of AFT Anti-age is simple: a targeted light pulse is absorbed by the “dark” areas of our skin (age spots, tiny blood vessels, etc.), destroys them and is reflected from the “lighter” areas (healthy tissues) without damaging them.
A “side” effect of AFT rejuvenation is a lifting effect: heating the deep layers of the dermis stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the skin.
THE EASTERN SECRET OF YOUTH
Therefore, the more “targets” you have for the light pulse, i.e. the worse your skin looks, the better the result will be!

AFT hair removal: what is it?
AFT (Advanced Fluorescence Technology) hair removal is an advanced innovative technology that includes elements of laser and photoepilation. This technology was developed by employees of the laboratory of the Israeli company Alma Lasers. The need to develop a new type of hair removal was associated with the problem of burns and irritation after photoepilation. In turn, AFT hair removal is based on the use of an intense light pulse with high fluence, but the trauma is minimized. This is achieved through the use of a unique filter.
Indications for AFT rejuvenation
The AFT-Rejuvenation procedure helps eliminate the following skin imperfections on the face, neck and décolleté:
- Small blood vessels, vascular network on the face;
- Unwanted pigmentation and freckles;
- large pores;
- decreased skin tone;
- a network of fine lines and wrinkles.
Moreover, the AFT rejuvenation procedure is one of the best methods for treating hand skin. After the first treatment, your hands will feel velvety, soft, moisturized and noticeably brighter!
Contraindications for the use of AFT hair removal
As with other methods, this procedure also has several contraindications:
- pregnancy and lactation
- diseases of an infectious, endocrine or oncological nature
- presence of wounds
- diabetes
- fresh tan
If all safety measures are observed and contraindications are excluded, the AFT hair removal method is the most effective and painless, which undoubtedly attracts many women.

Advantages of AFT rejuvenation at the Anthurium clinic
The AFT rejuvenation procedure can safely be called a breakthrough in the field of non-invasive rejuvenation techniques! Harmony XL SSR, developed by AlmaLasers (Israel), eliminates all the disadvantages of methods based on previous generations:
- The AFT rejuvenation procedure is painless: thanks to the powerful cooling element built into the manipulation head, the patient experiences a slight tingling sensation rather than “flashes of light”;
- AFT rejuvenation eliminates the risk of burns, since the device uses special filters that convert the entire spectrum of light beam radiation into energy, due to which the desired effect is achieved with less power;
- After an AFT therapy session, there is no skin irritation, which means there is no rehabilitation period required! You can immediately use cosmetics and return to your daily activities.
Equipment for facial photorejuvenation
Our clinic uses the most effective equipment that meets the highest international quality standards - the LumenisM22 device , equipped with two attachments. During the photorejuvenation procedure, an IPL attachment is used that generates broadband pulsed light.
The LumenisM22 device was released in 2021 and is a new modification of equipment. It features a wide variety of options and parameters that allow you to safely carry out photorejuvenation procedures for any skin type and phototype.
Photorejuvenation begins with a preliminary consultation, during which the doctor evaluates the specifics of the skin. Next, you need to select the appropriate filter and set the correct parameters in order to carry out the procedure correctly - without injury or burns.
The doctor then checks the skin's reaction by performing a couple of flashes in the parotid area. You can understand how the skin reacts to impulses by the degree of hyperemia. Ideally, the redness should be very weak, barely noticeable. If there is a negative reaction, the filter is replaced with a stronger one.
It is very important to understand that the final result of the procedure often depends on the level of the device and the possibility of its settings. For example, if the device does not have the ability to change light filters, it will be possible to achieve the result of removing skin pigment only after 4-5 procedures.
Always be attentive not only to the choice of a cosmetologist, but also to the choice of the equipment itself on which the procedure will be carried out. a lot of eastern “analogs” on the market , which do not guarantee the effectiveness of the procedure.
Technique of hardware procedure AFT-rejuvenation
During AFT rejuvenation sessions, a unique gentle gliding technology (In-Motion) is used. The entire procedure is performed in motion. The doctor passes his hand over your skin, evenly distributing the energy of the photographic rays, rejuvenating every inch of your skin!
The ability to maneuver the manipulator attachment and its compact size make it possible to treat “hard-to-reach spots (for conventional photorejuvenation)”: effectively remove blood vessels and narrow pores on the wings of the nose, remove unwanted pigmentation on the upper lip. , etc.
The maximum effect is achieved with treatment. Typically 4 to 6 treatment sessions are required, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. If necessary, the AFT rejuvenation course can be repeated once a year.
Photodynamic therapy for the treatment of problem skin
The effect of photodynamic skin rejuvenation is based on exposure to light of a certain wavelength after application of a special medicinal substance. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment method that uses a special substance, a photosensitizer, that increases the skin's sensitivity to light of a certain wavelength.
The positive result is due to the fact that the photosensitizer plus light causes the death of pathogenic microorganisms. Photodynamic therapy consists of two stages. The first is the use of light-absorbing solutions. They are left on the skin for 30-60 minutes and are absorbed by the sebaceous glands and bacteria, which cause acne to develop. The second is the use of light, which has a detrimental effect on microorganisms. This is a unique method that acts selectively and does not damage healthy skin.
A substance (photosensitizer) applied to the skin accumulates in unhealthy areas of the skin, because metabolic processes occur faster in them. After exposure to these areas of the skin with a special laser, a substance (singlet oxygen) is released as a result of a photochemical reaction, which heals the skin, relieving it of pathology.
With PDT, sebum secretion is normalized, i.e., the oiliness of the skin decreases, its smoothing occurs - infiltrates resolve. Photodynamic therapy also has an immunocorrective effect, which prevents relapses of the disease. The range of dermatological diseases that can be successfully treated with photodynamic therapy is wide: acne, post-acne, dermatitis, rosacea, rosacea, hyperpigmentation.
First, the doctor collects an anamnesis, examines you, and, if necessary, prescribes laboratory tests. It is necessary to exclude the presence of parasites in the intestines and blood - helminths, Helicobacter pylori infection and pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract. After this, depending on the clinical picture, photodynamic therapy procedures can be prescribed.
What is the duration of treatment?
The optimal result for restoring normal skin function is achieved with a complex of 6 procedures, up to 2 times a week. After some time, for example, after six months or a year, the procedure can be repeated.
But patients notice improvement after the 1st procedure.
The positive effect of photodynamics in acne is due to an improvement in the condition of the skin when exposed to the visible spectrum of radiation: the absorption of visible light with a wavelength of 415 nm by bacterial porphyrins (skin porphyrins are what is involved in the pathogenesis of acne), as well as the ability of the sebaceous glands to capture and metabolize the photosensitizer.
AFT rejuvenation results
The effect after the AFT rejuvenation procedure is immediately visible: the skin becomes radiant, shiny and soft to the touch, and the color noticeably brightens. And this is just a preliminary result! Just a few months after the procedure, the lifting effect only intensifies, and every day you will look younger and more attractive: the contours of your face will become clearer, wrinkles on the neck and décolleté will decrease.
AFT rejuvenation is perfectly combined with other methods of anti-age therapy (biorevitalization, mesotherapy, laser technologies, etc.). An experienced cosmetologist can recommend a course of treatment consisting of various procedures that will strengthen each other and resolve each other. Skin problems!
THE EASTERN SECRET OF YOUTH
How is the facial photorejuvenation procedure performed?
Facial photorejuvenation takes place in an outpatient clinic setting. The patient sits comfortably on the couch. Optical lenses are worn to protect the eyes. If coverage of the periorbital zone is planned, the patient closes his eyes.
The procedure follows the following algorithm:
- Skin cleansing and makeup removal;
- Application anesthesia (on demand or subjective indications - for example, with a low pain threshold or increased skin sensitivity);
- Applying a conductor gel to the surface of the skin;
- Direct treatment of skin with a nozzle;
- Repeated treatment (passes along the lines of force of the skin - lines of minimal stretching).
When the nozzle comes into contact with the skin, the patient feels a slight warmth and tingling sensation. The sensations may intensify with repeated treatment (usually 2-3 “passes” with the IPL nozzle around the perimeter of the face are enough). However, no significant pain is observed.
After the procedure, redness may increase, but after a day the hyperemia is completely neutralized. Photorejuvenation does not entail abundant and large peeling, as well as the formation of crusts - this is its main advantage over classical laser resurfacing and laser peeling. There is no swelling or other side effects during the recovery process. Therefore, you can return to your normal rhythm of life the very next day.
There is no rehabilitation after photorejuvenation, as such. The skin does not require specific care or treatment. Fine, uniform peeling that appears in the affected areas goes away on its own after 3-7 days. It is impossible to speed up the process with the help of scrubs and, especially, hands.
Complications after photorejuvenation are extremely rare, and to protect against them, it is enough to follow the following rules:
- Using decorative and caring cosmetics with high SPF (at least 40-45) for 3-4 weeks, even in cold and cloudy seasons;
- Avoid tanning in solariums and in the sun;
- Refusal from home and salon mechanical and chemical peelings.
In the first days after photorejuvenation, you should not visit baths and saunas.
The facial photorejuvenation procedure has a minimum of restrictions. Contraindications include malignant tumors, severe organic and systemic pathologies in the stages of exacerbation or decompensation, mental disorders, acute skin inflammations and infections, fresh tanning. It is also better for pregnant women to postpone the procedure. During lactation it is permissible.
Cost of NITHYA collagen injections
To carry out 1 procedure, 5 ml of the diluted drug is required. This volume is enough to treat the face, neck, and décolleté. The cost of one 5 ml syringe is 24,000 rubles. If you would like to try collagen rejuvenation, discuss it with your esthetician. As a rule, this procedure is indicated for all men and women over 25 years of age as a prevention of age-related changes or for their correction.

What is NITHYA?
Nithya is an Italian drug, a bioreparant, 100% biologically compatible with our body, does not cause inflammation and has a powerful stimulating effect on fibroblasts. The effect of the drug is due to the content of high-safety horse collagen (type I collagen). Collagen microparticles form a powder, which the cosmetologist dilutes in a certain ratio with saline solution for injections. According to the technology used for patients, the procedure resembles biorevitalization or mesotherapy. Please note that Nitya is the only collagen-containing drug on the aesthetic medicine market that has received permission for use in clinics. It is approved by the FDA, the American Food and Drug Administration.
