Embarrassing, I am apparently still young - and wrinkles, age spots and other cosmetic defects are already showing up. You can get rid of them with the fractional rejuvenation procedure. How does it work?
You always want to look good, regardless of your age. But time passes relentlessly and is reflected in appearance. Over the years, the skin becomes less elastic, wrinkles, age spots and other visible defects appear. Modern technologies allow you to prolong youth using laser exposure to problem areas. Let's find out fractional rejuvenation: what is it, how it happens and the consequences of this procedure.
What is
Cells lose their activity over time, which slows down the regeneration process. It is necessary not only to visually return youth, but also to help the cell recover and continue its active work. Only in this way will the skin have a healthy appearance, become tense and smooth.
The first fractional laser rejuvenation was carried out in 2004. It has been specially developed to treat signs of aging. After the first studies were obtained and results with excellent effect, the procedure was actively used in many beauty salons. The actions are completely safe and effectively fight cosmetic defects.
Advantages and application technique
There are several benefits of laser rejuvenation that show why this anti-aging method is worth using:
- one procedure is sufficient for good results;
- anesthesia is not used;
- is not an operation;
- safe, no side effects;
- no need for a long rehabilitation period; The
- effect is similar to the Botox injection technique;
- has a long duration.
This rejuvenation method is called fractional because it affects problem areas that are only exposed to small laser beams. Untouched areas, ie cells of the epidermis, begin to work actively, multiply and rapidly heal areas treated with laser. The full rehabilitation period takes no more than three days, depending on the condition of the skin. Collagen is actively produced in cells, which in turn:
- smooths out wrinkles and folds;
- skin is tightened;
- oval face is aligned; Pigment spots
- are lightened.
The process does not cause discomfort, is painless, the rash disappears quickly. The fractional laser effect is somewhat similar to the beam regeneration method, but has more capability and is more effective. In another way this is called photorejuvenation.
The principle of action is that damaged skin is exposed to heat stroke in sufficiently high temperature ranges. The cosmetologist uses a small apparatus through which laser beams penetrate, into which items are placed. Since the rays are very hot, the skin is processed very quickly to prevent burns.
The result depends on the severity of the defects. The deeper the wrinkles, the more treatments will be needed. The recovery time also depends on the person and his health status.
The skin is sufficiently exposed to a laser beam of less than two hundred microns, so a new epidermis layer is formed in the treated area. The rays look like a fine mesh and are applied only to problem areas such as the face, neck, legs, and around the eyes. This network ensures that the areas around it remain unaffected and enable cells to heal and regenerate.
Types of photo rejuvenation
In the field of cosmetology, two types of fractional thermolysis are used, different from each other in terms of their degree of effectiveness and main features.
- Ablative method- thermoactivity acts on the upper layers of the skin on cells.
- Non-relational rejuvenation- laser beams act only on the deep layers of the epidermis.
Many fractional machines today use CO2 laser beams. They are more advanced and have moved to a new level in the last few years. Before starting the procedure, it is worth explaining which laser to use, the quality and efficiency depend on it.
To achieve the best effect, it is recommended to combine two types of fractional thermolysis - ablative and non-relativistic. Double acting ft helps improve the result and maintain it for a long time. Thanks to modern equipment, cosmetologists develop rejuvenation programs for skin type and health condition.
When to be rejected
Like all other interventions to the natural functioning of the body, fractional facial rejuvenation has its own contraindications. Ft procedures should not be done if:
You are pregnant- ;
- epilepsy patient;
- for oncology; severe skin inflammation with
- psoriasis;
- for herpes;
- if you recently had a chemical peel on your face;
- or sunbathing;
- has vitiligo;
- chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, poor blood clotting.
Contraindications should not be ignored, as the current problem can be greatly intensified by heat exposure and aggravate the situation.
What to expect
Designed for photothermolysis, face lift and skin rejuvenation. Thanks to cosmetic procedures, it becomes immediately noticeable how the skin is tightened, how wrinkles disappear in a few days and the main lines are clear. To further improve the effect, it is recommended to perform several procedures ranging from one month to six months depending on the initial result.
To improve the condition of the face, many cosmetologists recommend combining fractional types of CO2 laser exposure. This allows you to preserve your youth for a long time, prolong the renewal processes of the skin and prevent premature aging.
The patient will recover quickly enough within a week. The timing also directly depends on the genre selected. In the first or two days, the skin swells significantly and there is a rash. However, after 4-5 days, dead cells are separated from the skin and the epidermis is covered with a new and healthy layer. If you correctly coordinate your actions, choose a good, responsible beautician, find out if there are any contraindications, then the photorejuvenation procedure will be only for good.
