readers of estet-portal.com Andrey Viktorovich Lisetsky - chief physician of the Clinical Academy of Laser Medicine (CALM), oncodermatologist & ndash;dermatovenereologist.
Which laser treatments are offered at your clinic?
Our clinic offers a wide variety of laser services – starting from aesthetic procedures and ending with the removal of precancerous, cancerous skin growths. When it comes to aesthetics, then an individual tactic is selected for each patient - & nbsp; depending on the problems of the skin, the method of rejuvenation or the treatment of defects (scars, stretch marks, pigmentation, etc.) is signed. That is, to achieve a good result, it is important & nbsp; a complex of laser procedures, with an additional & nbsp; using injection or other hardware techniques. Proper preparation of the patient for & nbsp; laser procedure and its competent management after it, as well as the correct sequence of procedures
Which laser methods are the most effective for skin rejuvenation?
It all depends on the issue. If a person needs to even out the skin relief – this is one procedure if you need to tighten the skin, get a lifting effect – another procedure, if you build an additional collagen frame so that the skin has a tone, turgor - & nbsp; this is the third procedure. An individual program is selected for each patient.
Depending on skin type – When are laser procedures more effective?
Worst of all, rejuvenating procedures are those with dry skin types. In such cases, we first moisturize, nourish the skin and only then carry out anti-aging procedures. The most effective laser procedures – for people with normal skin type.
At what age are laser resurfacing treatments most effective?
In order to look good, you need to start taking care of your skin as early as possible. There is the concept of heredity, to which are added features of lifestyle, nutrition, care and many other factors that affect the aging process. The more we run the aesthetic problem, the harder and it is more expensive then it is decided. Therefore, to judge at what age it is right to start aesthetic procedures – including laser rejuvenation – follows in each case individually.
Are there any contraindications for rejuvenating laser treatments?
Laser procedure should not be performed in case of exacerbation of herpes virus infection, in case of various pustular skin diseases. Procedures are contraindicated in oncological diseases and some other pathologies. Any acute contraindications – when it would be impossible for a person to do any rejuvenating laser procedures at all – there is no such. It all depends on the situation, on the problems of the process. Must watch – the planned procedure will bring more benefit or harm.
What preparatory measures should precede the rejuvenation treatment?
Each procedure must be approached individually. If we are talking about peelings, polishing, fractional techniques, then it is recommended to avoid insolation, that is, the influence of ultraviolet radiation, three weeks before the procedure and three weeks after the procedure. Otherwise, it may happen that we solve one aesthetic problem, and another appears - in the form of hyperpigmentation.
Is there a recovery period after the laser procedure and are there any possible complications?
The rehabilitation period depends on the laser procedure performed and the depth of the laser effect on the skin. It can last from 1-3 days to 2-3 weeks. As a rule, there are no acute complications. This may be hyperemia, slight edema, peeling of the skin in case of nanoperforation. But it happens that the patient does not follow the doctor's recommendations that he received after the procedure, and then a third-party infection is likely to occur, & nbsp; development of the inflammatory process.
If there is swelling, redness, pain, discharge for several days, this is a sufficient reason to suspect - something is wrong, and contact a doctor immediately. After the procedure, the patient receives a special memo from the doctor, detailed recommendations on skin care and doctor visits to prevent complications.
What is special about your clinic compared to other laser medicine clinics?
To say that we are the best would be incorrect and wrong in relation to colleagues. We often go to various seminars and conferences and always see our colleagues there. Everyone is trying to follow global trends, expand their horizons & nbsp; and find the best practices for their clients. I can say with confidence that professionals in their field work in my clinic, they work for the result, and the number of patients indicates that we justify their hopes. We have developed a patient satisfaction questionnaire and monitor how people evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment received from us. Almost 98% of those who contact us are satisfied with the result. I can proudly say that we have the world's best laser equipment, new hardware techniques & nbsp; and injectable preparations of the most famous world brands. We have a large practical base, there are clinical cases that could be safely entered in the atlas of dermato-oncology. After all, it's one thing – engage in theory, and the other – when you carry out procedures every day, you see certain situations and solve them. We plan to conduct training seminars for doctors on the basis of our clinic because we understand how important practice is for them. We are really proud of the excellent results in both aesthetic laser cosmetology and skin surgery.

We are really proud of the excellent results in both aesthetic laser cosmetology and skin surgery. It is important to note that some procedures that a surgeon spends, say, about an hour, we do in 15 minutes – for example, we remove atheromas of the scalp, and without sutures, with a minimal incision and without cutting hair in large areas of the head. The same applies to the removal of various formations on the face, on the body, on the ears, on the mucous membranes & nbsp; – all this without seams, with minimal incisions and without a long period of rehabilitation. In addition, we know how to remove chalazia with a laser and we already have quite a few positive results in this regard. I believe that in another five or ten years the scalpel will be used only in rare cases. After all, a lot can be done with a laser – faster and easier, contactless and with simultaneous coagulation.
