Sure, we all hear that laser skin rejuvenation is safe and chemical peels are equally safe. It is now safe, mainstream and acceptable to BURN the skin in the pursuit of looking younger.
I am not against the procedures. I do perform chemical and non chemical peels on skin. I am against the fact that some people who perform the procedures are not educated on what is actually happening in the skin. If the skin is not protected and taken care in a specific way then the patient will suffer long term detrimental damage.
PIGS AND COWS DON'T AGE
Think of collagen as gelatin. Yes, jello is none other than bovine or pig collagen. Now think of melted gelatin (collagen) from the heat of a laser. When that melted collagen cools off, what is left is a glue like substance. Using collagen as glue was first used 8000 years ago.
Using your imagination, imagine you are an artist. You pour glue into a fiber mesh mould of a face. The glue attracts dust and other particles from the air as it hardens. This is the exact same thing that happens in the skin when it is burned. A thicker scar tissue (fibrosis) collagen is formed.
HAVE YOU EVER SUPERGLUED YOUR SKIN?
Your skin is the largest organ of detox in your body. Now that your glue is covering your skin, what are the long term effects?
I am going to include a video that will show the life of a cell put out by Harvard Biovisions. As you are watching the life of a cell, think about heating up that cell and how it would disrupt and destroy the natural rhythms.

Collagen scar tissue is not a new discovery in the medical world. Everyone has heard of clogged arteries and many people falsely believe it is cholesterol that clog the arteries, but that is not entirely true. I work with a cardiovascular doctor and he is the one that made the scientific connection for me between lasers and unhealthy collagen. Read this below and you will understand more how collagen can be unhealthy.
Instead, these cells begin producing excessive amounts of proteins and other matrix substances, creating an imbalance of elastin and collagen in the media. As the amount of collagen increases [], it tends to bind to glucose molecules, forming crosslinks known as advanced glycation end products (AGES). This process, which has been compared to what happens as turkey is roasted in an oven, is slow and complex. But as more AGES form, the collagen strands in the media turn brown, become crosslinked, and become less supple. To read more, click here.

What a great information on the cell's biochemistry.

This made me think about what else happens in our body.

I really enjoyed touring the cell and seeing these processes. We really are a wonder.

All accurate according to knowledge of cell biology.

Too many people are focused on beauty. Not much is known about the harm. We need more people like you.

I have had laser done on my face. My skin is different and it seems to "fall" or change and I have always had to go in for refreshers. Makes so much sense. I'm buying the roller now!

The Dermaroller will break up the scar tissue and signal the body to produce healthy collagen. The Dermaroller sends the ionic signal to the body to being regenerating itself in a healthy fashion. This is the same mechanism that causes a salamander to regrow a tail.
