One of the features of laser peeling is the possibility of local action on the skin, which allows you to remove imperfections in the right places on the face. The specialist can set the depth of penetration of the laser beam into the skin.
There are two types of laser peeling: cold and hot. Cold laser peeling uses short beams, so the effect is only on the upper layers of the skin, the epidermis is not affected. This superficial peeling gently cleanses and exfoliates old cells and has an active regenerating effect on the skin. Complete rehabilitation after the procedure takes 3 to 5 days. A significant advantage of this cosmetic procedure is that the result is visible immediately after it.
Hot laser peeling acts in layers, while the lower layers of the epidermis are heated. This type of peeling is more effective and is called medium or deep. The hot method is a little painful, but more effective. It is performed when serious skin restoration is necessary. Hot laser peeling is widely used in medicine and cosmetology to treat scars and age spots. After the procedure, the effect of “tightened” skin (lifting) is clearly visible. The disadvantage of hot peeling is a longer recovery process and special facial skin care, but the rejuvenation effect lasts for a year.
Procedure methods
Traditional laser peeling is a uniform laser treatment of a large area of skin. Cosmetologists recommend using this technique for minor imperfections and damage to the skin.
With fractional laser peeling, small local areas of skin are treated. The laser “burns out” thin and deep channels in the tissues, as a result of which the skin begins to intensively renew itself. This technique may have different names: laser lifting, drilling, fractional facial modeling, DOT therapy and others. This procedure can be done only after examination and advice from a doctor.
Peeling is performed by two types of laser: carbon and erbium. Laser carbon peeling is based on the effect of carbon dioxide, which penetrates deeply into the skin.
Erbium peeling is a modern effective technique aimed at getting rid of stretch marks, tattoos, old scars and scars. It is built on the influence of the chemical element - irbium. The skin recovers much faster after erbium peeling.

Individual consultation
Who needs laser peeling?
Laser peeling is not available to everyone; there are a number of indications for this cosmetic procedure. The list includes: large pimples and scars after them, stretch marks, rather deep wrinkles, the presence of age spots and enlarged pores, pronounced uneven skin texture, sagging skin and others.
In addition to the indications, there are a number of contraindications to laser peeling. It is quite extensive and should be taken quite seriously. The prohibited list includes:
- Presence of skin diseases;
- Installed pacemaker;
- Epilepsy;
- Oncological diseases;
- Increased body temperature;
- Individual intolerance to the drug used for pain relief during peeling;
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding period;
- Mental and neurological diseases.
In addition, laser exposure is unacceptable on areas with damaged skin (cuts, wounds, abrasions).
How to choose the necessary procedure?
Laser peeling is suitable for young skin: it will eliminate the first age-related changes, help cope with inflammation and clogged pores, and give smoothness. Laser fractional resurfacing will cope with the problems of aging skin: loss of elasticity, thinning, deep wrinkles.
In addition, it is possible to combine two attachments in one procedure to enhance the effect: the full beam evens out the skin texture, and the fractional one promotes lifting and tightening.
Only a cosmetologist can choose a procedure that is suitable for you, after collecting anamnesis and analyzing the condition of the skin.
You can sign up for the procedure by calling or ordering a call back.
Finding out the differences between laser peeling and laser resurfacing
Many people do not know that laser peeling
and
laser resurfacing
are different cosmetic procedures.
During peeling, the beam acts on the skin to a depth of about 30 microns and removes only the keratinized top layer of skin.
During laser resurfacing, the beam penetrates the skin to a depth of over 100 microns. In this case, partial destruction of the skin frame occurs. Some experts use the term “laser resurfacing” to mean medium and deep peeling.
Features of fractional grinding
The Idealist clinic offers innovative fractional facial resurfacing using the Palomar Starlux erbium laser. The essence of the technique is an isolated effect on individual points of the skin, while the surface between these points is not affected. This procedure allows you to work in the most sensitive areas and solve local problems on the face: changes around the eyes, around the mouth, as well as work on the wrists, neck and décolleté and intimate areas.
Depending on the skin problems, the cosmetologist adjusts the depth of laser exposure. This allows you to eliminate defects at different levels: from small wrinkles to scars. The precision of the impact minimizes the risk of complications in the form of re-scarring, so the fractional technique remains one of the most common and safe among all laser resurfacing options.
Stages of laser peeling
First, preparation for the procedure is carried out
. Consultations with a cosmetologist are held, and a number of special medical examinations are performed (tests, cardiogram). A few days before the peeling, it is recommended to refrain from drinking alcohol. If major intervention or deep peeling is necessary, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics.
Second phase
– this is the actual peeling. First, anesthesia is given, then the skin is treated with a laser, and finally a special antimicrobial agent is applied to the face. The duration of the entire cosmetic operation can be from 30 to 90 minutes, it all depends on the volume and complexity of the work.
Final stage
– rehabilitation. After laser peeling, the skin needs special care. You may need to take a course of medications to reduce discomfort and pain.
Contraindications
When prescribing laser therapy, you need to remember about contraindications and limitations, which are:
- pregnancy;
- lactation;
- presence of a pacemaker;
- diabetes mellitus in the stage of decompensation;
- taking retinoids (synthetic vitamin A preparations) within the last 6 months; taking tetracycline antibiotics or other medications that increase skin sensitivity to light over the past month;
- atypical skin formations and pigment spots, rashes of non-inflammatory origin, overgrown scars in the areas of treatment;
- herpes virus of all types, chronic dermatoses with impaired skin integrity (eczema, psoriasis, etc.) in the area of treatment;
- performing deep chemical or mechanical skin resurfacing (peeling) in the areas of planned laser use during the last 2 weeks;
- carrying out laser correction of wrinkles or laser skin rejuvenation in the areas of planned laser use within the last 3 months;
- injections of collagen or other fillers within the last 2 weeks in the areas of planned laser application;
- intense tanning for less than 4 weeks.
Mechanical facial cleansing
Often this type of peeling is used to eliminate skin unevenness, smooth its structure and remove small scars after injury to the skin. The procedure is carried out using special equipment, which is equipped with a brush and a rotor that rotates it. The recovery period necessary for the skin to heal after cleansing lasts about 10 days. For 2 weeks you should avoid exposure to direct sunlight and use sunscreen during long walks, individually determining the SPF level.
Patient reviews with before and after photos
The visual result after the procedure is noticeable immediately after the end of rehabilitation. Even if the treatment requires several procedures, changes can be seen after the first one. The effectiveness is demonstrated by patient reviews of facial resurfacing with before and after photos.
“I’ll tell you about my experience of face resurfacing. I am 38 years old and over the past year signs of aging have begun to appear on my face, which are noticeable to others. I work with people, so it is important for me to look impeccable. I decided to undergo laser resurfacing because I heard about the high effectiveness of the procedure. The result exceeded all expectations. The skin after the procedure is smooth, elastic, pleasant not only to look at, but also to the touch. Colleagues compliment me and say that the vacation was good for me, but I know that it’s all laser polishing!”
“I recommend laser facial resurfacing to everyone! No wonder it is recommended to get rid of the consequences of acne. Recovery, of course, is troublesome. Mostly due to the fact that you won’t show yourself on the street in the first 2-3 days. But it's worth it. The price, I think, is quite justified. By the way, many people say that it hurts, but in fact, even without anesthesia cream, the procedure is quite comfortable. The first time after polishing the skin burns a little, but it’s tolerable.”
“Some time ago I had blepharoplasty, which left me with a small scar above my eyelid. It doesn't interfere too much, but is quite noticeable. Therefore, I decided to remove it using laser resurfacing. Despite the sensitivity of the area, I did not feel any particular discomfort. The result is wonderful."
Combined facial cleansing
When using this method, several types of professional cleansing are used during one procedure. Ultrasonic and mechanical peeling are often combined to create maximum effect. The use of abrasive media is only suitable for heavily contaminated areas of the skin, and in other areas cleaning is carried out using ultrasound. After completing the procedure, soothing and moisturizing creams and serums are applied to the surface of the skin.
Pros and cons of the procedure
Laser resurfacing at the Idealista clinic has many advantages compared to alternative cosmetological techniques:
1
Outpatient procedure. There is no need for hospital monitoring after resurfacing.
2
Patients of any age can correct their appearance. Sanding has no restrictions.
3
Rehabilitation is only 1-3 days. When following the cosmetologist's recommendations, the risk of side effects and complications is minimal.
4
The depth of exposure is controlled by the device, which completely eliminates the risk of doctor error.
5
One procedure lasts no more than an hour.
6
The laser is able to affect a small area of the skin without affecting tissues that do not need adjustment. This allows you to specifically eliminate cosmetic problems.
7
The effect of a laser resurfacing course lasts for several years.
Clients leave many positive reviews about laser facial resurfacing, as the procedure gives a visible effect within a few days. The full result is revealed within a month. The modern equipment of the Idealista clinic eliminates the risk of complications during resurfacing, and pain is eliminated using safe anesthesia.
The procedure has few disadvantages:
- Recovery is quick, but with slight swelling in the first 1-3 days. Then moderate peeling is acceptable for a week.
- Formation of scars after a CO2 laser procedure. This is due to failure to follow the cosmetologist’s recommendations. In rare cases, it depends on the individual characteristics of the structure and renewal of the skin. The Palomar erbium laser in our clinic eliminates this risk.
- High cost compared to alternative anti-aging procedures in cosmetology.
The effectiveness of polishing largely depends on the qualifications of the cosmetologist, so contact the Idealista clinic, where experienced specialists with medical education work. Also, the result depends on the device; please note that the equipment at the Idealista clinic has a registration certificate from the Ministry of Health and has been tested for effectiveness and safety.
