Research has resulted in the discovery of a way to stimulate natural collagen production by the skin, by a certain wavelength of laser light. This has resulted in the laser treatment. There is no burning and the procedure is painless, requiring no anesthesia. It does not wound the skin, there is no skin ablation, and there is no post treatment care. The majority of people cannot see any visible marks on their skin after the procedure. Collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation In our younger years, collagen works to "plump up" the skin, but as we age, we lose collagen mostly through sun exposure, and fine lines and wrinkles begin to form. Before the technique of laser stimulation of collagen production, doctors injected collagen to soften lines and create a more youthful appearance. Skin rejuvenation by advanced laser technology Collagen rejuvenation lasers have recently been developed and offer excellent results. There are several lasers which can increase collagen production. However, the laser is preferred by patients and physicians because it requires only 3 to 6 as recommended for other lasers. Additionally, it is also reported to be more specific which results in less trauma and can be described as painless, whereas other lasers can cause severe discomfort during treatment. Laser collagen stimulation safe and painless The laser collagen replenishment is safe, painless and convenient, approved by the US FDA. It takes just minutes, and you can return to your busy day immediately, unlike many other older laser treatments. The result is smoother, younger looking skin. How laser collagen rejuvenation works to reduce wrinkles and lines. Patients experience a visible reduction in wrinkles and fine lines beginning about 30 days after treatment. Improvements continue for up to 90 days at which time the improvement is maintained. Make-up or moisturizer may be applied immediately after treatment and patients are able to return to their normal activities including work or sports. Patients may participate in outdoor activites without fear of sensitivity to sunlight. Successful treatment areas include smile lines, foreheads, vertical lip lines, lip enhancement and crow's feet. Additional treatment areas include the neck and hands.
