Fractional facial rejuvenation is a safe and minimally invasive technique to restore and rejuvenate the turgor of the facial skin surface. This technology is considered one of the most effective alternatives to surgical intervention.
Fractional facial rejuvenation procedure
Gradually, the processes of growth, division and metabolism slow down, leading to a loss of cellular activity. The fractional rejuvenation procedure aims to restore cell regeneration and natural function. This is due to thermal damage from the laser to a small amount of elastin and collagen fibers, helping to neutralize unusable cells and activate healthy cells.
Due to the thermal effect, an internal and external rejuvenation occurs, age spots, skin imperfections, stretch marks, scars and scars are removed. Fractional thermolysis is performed in local areas of the skin's surface, as the laser beam used in the procedure is divided into many microbeams, which form a mesh structure. Thanks to this structure, healthy areas of the skin are not damaged and the renewal process is faster.
The result of using the fractional laser is noticeable after the first procedure, the skin becomes more elastic and tight, its texture improves, the small vessels become invisible and the pigmentation decreases. The action of the laser favors the activation of the work of the collagen fibers, which are considered the natural skeleton of the skin, therefore, after a week, fine wrinkles are smoothed, the color of the skin and theface contour becomes more expressive.
The mechanism of action of laser beams, depending on the depth and characteristics of penetration, is different, therefore there are types of fractional rejuvenation:
- Ablative: characterized by the elimination of superficial micro-areas of the skin, which contributes to the gradual stretching of damaged micro-areas;
- Non-ablative: consists of the deep penetration of fractionated rays without damaging the outer layers of the epidermis.
The benefits of fractional facial rejuvenation will be:
- achieving a tangible effect after the first session;
- short payback period;
- is performed without the use of anesthesia;
- applies to all skin types;
- personal processing program;
- minimal risk of further complications and damage to the skin surface;
- lasting result.
The use of fractional rejuvenation of facial skin is recommended in the presence of such defects of the skin surface of the face:
- pigmentation and capillaries;
- age-related skin changes;
- scars and scars;
- enlarged pores and acne;
- uneven skin color and texture;
- sagging skin;
- stretch marks;
- moles, papillomas and warts.
There are also contraindications for fractional facial rejuvenation:
- the presence of inflammatory processes in the area being worked;
- skin infections;
- allergies;
- psoriasis;
- epilepsy;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- presence of malignant neoplasms in the area of laser exposure.
The use of superficial anesthesia minimizes the formation of unpleasant sensations during the procedure, the only thing that the patient can feel is a slight tingling sensation in the area to be worked.
The essence of this technology is characterized by the effect of a grid of fractionated rays in certain areas of the skin's surface, after which old cells are eliminated, leading to the formation of new ones. The direction and depth of penetration of the rays is adjusted by a special device, which allows to provide specific stimulation to the epidermis and prevent the formation of injuries and burns. The duration of the procedure is due to the volume of the area that is worked, on average, the duration of the session is from half an hour to an hour.
Fractional facial rejuvenation has a special payback period. After the procedure is completed, redness of the skin is observed, which finally heals in 10 days. The formation of an ichor is possible, which dries in the form of a crust, after which it disappears. The speed and quality, as well as the impeccability of the final result, depend on compliance with the recommendations for skin care:
- do not use decorative cosmetics;
- wash with boiled water;
- do not expose yourself to the sun for a week;
- perform ozone therapy;
- Do not use scrubs and peels until the end of the rehabilitation period, as they can damage the fragile and youthful skin layer.
Fractional facial rejuvenation blends well with other skin surface correction technologies. For maximum efficiency, it is recommended that this procedure be performed in combination with contouring and Botox injections.
