Over time, our skin undergoes numerous changes, often influenced by our lifestyle, insufficient skincare, and the natural aging process that leads to a slowdown in our internal systems.
One of the most common changes is a decrease in collagen production and a reduced capacity for the skin to recover from internal or external damage. Consequently, individuals may experience aging skin that appears lackluster and may exhibit issues such as pigmentation or scars, which can be specific to each person.
If you have noticed a decline in your skin quality or are seeking a regular skincare regimen, consider skin rejuvenation. Most of the procedures involved are non-invasive, meaning there's no need for special precautions before undergoing skin rejuvenation.
Laser skin rejuvenation is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses light energy to:
Fractional lasers function by engaging with the skin to create microthermal zones (MTZ) characterized by injury and elevated temperatures. This involves directing an extremely concentrated light beam beneath the skin's surface, generating heat that triggers the activation of collagen and elastin-producing cells. Additionally, the laser is drawn towards pigmented imperfections such as broken blood vessels or age spots.
During the procedure, a gentle laser beam is employed to penetrate the outermost layer of the skin. This laser-generated heat stimulates the growth of collagen deep within your skin. The benefits of this laser therapy will persist even after the treatment, and you'll notice a change when fine lines become filled with fresh collagen. The laser's heat will also impact the discolored areas of your face, breaking them down and allowing the skin to reabsorb them.
While you may experience some immediate skin improvement, the results typically manifest more gradually. For optimal outcomes, it is advisable to undergo a series of 4-6 treatments spaced 3-5 weeks apart. Many individuals opt for follow-up sessions to maintain their results.
Fraxel is recommended for the following conditions:
As the skin undergoes the aging process, there is a gradual decline in the levels of hyaluronic acid (HA). This reduction in HA typically commences around the age of 18-20 and can significantly contribute to the eventual loss of skin elasticity and the development of lines and wrinkles in later years. Hyaluronic acid has been employed for many years to address deeper wrinkles, lines, and to enhance lip volume.
A relatively recent method involving a specially prepared form of hyaluronic acid for Mesotherapy, combined with a specific injection technique, enables skilled practitioners to directly administer hyaluronic acid into broader areas of the skin to enhance skin quality and hydration.
This approach enhances the dermal condition, promotes the production of collagen, elastin, and the body's natural hyaluronic acid. It also bolsters the body's defenses against free radicals, leading to improved cell function and a more youthful and revitalized appearance of the skin.
At Kosmoderma, HA injections are also employed to rejuvenate skin with acne scars before undergoing Fractional laser treatment. Other treatments falling within the realm of Skin Rejuvenation include PRP and Tissue Tightening.

While you might notice initial skin improvements, the outcomes typically become more apparent over time. To achieve optimal results, it is advised to undergo a series of 4-6 treatments with intervals of 3-5 weeks between each session. Additionally, many individuals opt for follow-up touch-up sessions afterward.
The US-FDA has granted approval for this treatment. The laser emits light in the infrared part of the spectrum rather than the ultraviolet portion, making it non-carcinogenic, and the certification from the US-FDA serves as evidence of its safety.
Does the treatment hurt?Pain tolerance varies from person to person, and because individual skin types differ, so too does the degree of discomfort experienced during treatment. Our clinic offers a unique solution with a 20% topical anesthetic option, effectively minimizing discomfort. Further information about this option is covered during consultations with our doctors. Nevertheless, the majority of patients typically discover that the treatment falls within their comfort threshold.
Who carries out the treatment?Our dermatologists, who have passed an in-house laser sciences examination and completed Core of Knowledge training emphasizing Health and Safety issues, perform all of our treatments. The in-house training is tailored to meet the specific requirements of our clients. We typically recommend a course of 4 to 6 sessions, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, on average.
