Women aged 50+ are recommended to use a non-ablative method of exposure. The difference is that there is no rehabilitation procedure. It allows you to smooth out deep wrinkles even without a rehabilitation period.
Effect
During the first days after exposure, the skin will swell.
It may be noted:
- in the first 2-3 hours - mild burning;
- in the first 1-2 days - redness;
- 2-3 days - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be especially sensitive to sunlight, so you need to apply a protective cream with SPF before going outside.
After the peeling stops, the effect of the procedure will be noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin is tighter, the face looks fresher. But to get a clear result, you need to go through a course of procedures. Their number is determined individually.
