Collagen is called "the material of youth". It is a protein responsible for the density, elasticity and firmness of the skin. It is a very important and abundant component of the organism - about 3 kg is produced and exchanged naturally each year. In young people, the new tissue that is created systematically rebuilds its fibers.
Unfortunately, with age, the body reduces the production of collagen, and in middle age it almost loses its ability to regenerate. This process begins fairly quickly - research shows that from the age of 26, the ability to reproduce it begins to gradually decline. This process may accelerate practicing professional sports, i.e. excessive physical activity, too frequent and strenuous sunbathing (also in the solarium) and poor immunity, resulting in numerous diseases in the fall and winter season.
Disorders in the production of collagen can cause serious diseases such as back pain, joint stiffness, problems with pain in the hip and knee joints. Another visible effect of the lack of collagen is deep wrinkles, cellulite, and premature hair loss. Ignoring the lack of collagen can lead to the so-called premature aging syndrome; the affected person looks 10-15 years older than their record age!
This is not only a problem in private life - according to research by the University of British Columbia, potential employers are often guided by the young appearance of a job applicant. There are also cases where a good-looking forty-something has overtaken a neglected thirty-year-old during job interviews. Employers justified their decisions with the statement that a well-groomed person pays more attention to their health, and therefore works better.
However, age-related collagen deficiencies can be managed. One of the effective interventions in reducing the signs of the passing of time is the treatment with the use of laser light.
The technique that works best for these treatments is ENDOLIFT. It serves to change the skin tension and reduce fat tissue not only in the face, but also in the entire body. For this treatment, a diode laser LASEmaR 1500, developed by Eufoton, used in medicine since 2009, is used. As a result of the treatment, the collagen fibers are completely restructured, and the tension of the skin tissue changes. The production of collagen is also stimulated, the skin is firmed and thickened.
The LASEmaR 1500 laser uses optical fibers only slightly thicker than a human hair, with a thickness of 200 and 300 microns. They make it possible to individually adapt the treatment to the patient, depending on the needs, e.g. laxity of the skin or accumulation of adipose tissue. Importantly, these treatments do not require anesthesia - their application is practically imperceptible to the patient. The action of the laser stimulates the superficial layers of the skin, reducing wrinkles, and the flexible fibers more easily penetrate its deeper layers, causing tightening and firming the skin and dissolving fat tissue. The reconstruction of the collagen layer gives positive changes in the appearance of the skin and an improvement in well-being, visible even after 6 months, when the treatments will restructure the tissue. Treatments are also inexpensive, which allows you to benefit from more treatments.
What are the contraindications for the procedure?
Endolift, like most anti-aging treatments, should not be used while pregnancy, cancer treatment and active bacterial or viral infections. Contraindications also include blood coagulation disorders, the use of steroids, heart disease, diabetes, atopic dermatitis, and the use of photosensitizing medication.
