Laser rejuvenation

After the age of 25, collagen production begins to decrease and the first signs of ageing slowly become visible on our face and neck. Whether it is fine lines, reduced skin quality, sagging and dehydrated skin, or age spots, laser rejuvenation will help. Following a consultation with our doctor, you will find out whether the laser is the right solution for you.

In all of the cases mentioned, laser rejuvenation will deliver outstanding results:

• skin quality improvement, when it needs its plumpness, elasticity, smoothness, and freshness restored;
• skin tightening, improving facial and neck tone – laser skin tightening;
• removal of wrinkles around the eyes and lips;
• removal of blemishes, spots, hyperpigmentation;
• removal of acne scars and other types of scars, as well as stretch marks;
• one of the few procedures for efficient rejuvenation and tightening of the neck skin is precisely with the help of a laser.

If you are still having doubts, laser rejuvenation is the ideal choice for you if you want to maintain a healthy and well-kept skin appearance for as long as possible and slow down the appearance of wrinkles.

The choice of laser is definitely one of the most important factors when we talk about laser rejuvenation. At the polyclinic, we use non-ablative and ablative lasers, so we tailor the treatment to the condition of the skin and the recovery time.
Depending on the indications and the recovery time required, we select a specific laser or a combination of lasers. These are:

• non-ablative lasers – treatments using these lasers can be carried out throughout the year;
• ablative lasers – we can use them from the beginning of October to the end of March, so not during spring and summer.

Following a consultation, our doctor determines the condition of the patient's skin and accordingly decides which laser is suitable for the skin condition.
In the following text, we will introduce you to all the lasers available with us.

ClearLift laser

The full name of this laser is ClearLift Q-switched Nd YAG laser. It is also popularly known as Hollywood Lunchtime Facelift Hollywood lunchtime facelift.

We can use it to treat:

• fine lines on the face, neck and décolletage;
• enlarged pores;
• sun-induced changes;
• blemishes, spots, hyperpigmentation.

ClearLift is a high-intensity non-ablative laser that allows us to precisely control the treatment depth. It penetrates to the deepest layers of the skin without damaging its surface. It triggers the synthesis of collagen and elastin, tightening and regenerating sagging skin. Another effect is that it breaks down pigment spots and skin pigmentation, resulting in an even complexion. It restores skin elasticity and strengthens tone, pores are tightened, and the skin is clean and radiant. The ClearLift treatment can be performed on all skin types, is well tolerated and has no recovery period, with possible mild redness that disappears within a few hours. It removes imperfections in mature skin and ensures suppleness for young skin while slowing down the ageing process. Treatments can be performed on the face, neck, decolletage, hands and abdomen. A single treatment lasts about 30 minutes, and 3 to 4 treatments are required for top results. Read more about the treatment on the page ClearLift laser.

Another non-ablative laser that effectively promotes the creation of new collagen, while also successfully treating acne and problematic skin. ClearSkin Pro Er:Glass 1540nm is unique because it combines a non-ablative laser with vacuum cooling for the first time. The laser penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, while pleasant cooling protects the skin all the time, reduces pain and reduces discomfort during the treatment.
Treatment with this laser is ideal for skin rejuvenation and improving its quality. It is well tolerated and takes about 30 minutes. There is no downtime, and the skin may be slightly red for a few hours after the treatment. You can find out all about this treatment on the page ClearSkin Pro laser.

We achieve an immediate skin-tightening effect. The NIR device emits near-infrared light, the so-called NIR light (near infrared). The intense light source heats the subcutaneous layers of the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen. This enables long-lasting results that are visible for up to 2 years. The surface of the skin remains intact and undamaged.

Result:

• firm and smooth skin;
• improved skin tone and texture;
• even complexion.

The NIR treatment takes about 30 minutes. It can be carried out all year round, and is designed for both young and mature skin. Read more about the treatment on the page NIR skin tightening.

During ablative laser treatments, the surface layer of the skin is removed, so the recovery and healing period takes up to several weeks. Laser rejuvenation using such lasers is most commonly used for skin tightening and wrinkle removal, as well as for reducing scars, particularly acne scars. We distinguish between CO2 (carbon dioxide) and erbium lasers.

The full name of this laser is iPixel Er:YAG 2940. This ablative, fractionated laser is primarily intended for skin remodelling and resurfacing. The indications we treat include loose and inelastic skin, mature skin, wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, and superficial skin lesions.
The laser acts like a peel on the surface layer of the skin, creating micro-damage and encouraging its regeneration. The split (fractional) beam makes the skin recover faster, much faster compared to other ablative lasers. Side effects after the treatment are intense redness and a stinging sensation on the skin, which can last up to a week. We perform the treatment from October until the end of March, and it is important that for about a month afterwards you do not expose your skin to direct sunlight and that you apply a high SPF. Read more about the treatment on the page Erbium laser.

The Candela CO2 laser is designed for skin rejuvenation, removing acne scars, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, excess eyelid skin, and other imperfections. This laser features 4 distinct operating levels, making it perfectly adaptable to individual patient needs. The Candela fractional CO2 laser allows us to precisely treat the superficial, middle, and deep levels of the skin while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue intact. The CO2R laser treatment begins with an ablative procedure, which involves removing a thin, superficial layer of damaged skin. The laser then creates microchannels in the deeper layers of the skin while simultaneously heating the tissue, thereby stimulating the production of collagen and new, healthy skin cells.

The indications we treat with this laser are fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, stretch marks, and the removal of minor excess skin on the eyelids.

Laser can cause discomfort during the treatment, which is why we apply an anaesthetic to the skin. Redness and swelling will appear after the treatment, as well as peeling of dead skin, which is a completely natural exfoliating process. Recovery takes 5 to 7 days.
