Fractional laser facial skin rejuvenation

The pros and cons of laser fractional facial skin rejuvenation

The aging process is a natural biological law of every human organism. Inevitably, the signs of fading skin in the form of wrinkles, discoloration and age spots appear on various parts of the body. The face, due to the constant influence of ultraviolet radiation, the work of the facial muscles and chewing muscles, is very susceptible to wilting. For obvious reasons, women of all ages want to keep their faces fresh and youthful. In such situations, not only creams and masks can help, but also skin rejuvenation using fractional exposure.

Core and advantages of the method

This technology is the exposure of high frequency energy to the skin. Rays of certain wavelengths produce a thermal reaction, or rather, vaporize cells at predetermined depths. The loss of some cells triggers the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers. With increasing age, there is a significant decrease in the synthesis of collagen and elastin in skin thickness. It is these fibers that provide skin elasticity and youthfulness, in fact, the building blocks of the epidermis and dermis. Thus, under the action of the laser, the face is rejuvenated.

Laser rejuvenation is a modern technique that has proven itself in the cosmetic services market. Let's take a look at some of the advantages:

  • Fractional treatment is a completely painless procedure. Even the minimal discomfort, according to reviews, is absent.
  • This technology implies minimal damage to the skin, so that the traces after therapy disappear in 4-5 days.
  • This technology allows you to work over a large area at one time. This approach maximally activates the regenerative process, which leads to active smoothing of wrinkles.

Side effects and adverse reactions after the described intervention are extremely rare. The most characteristic is hyperemia and peeling in the treatment area, moderate self-relieving itching. Sometimes there is activation of herpes infection. With frequent exacerbations of herpes, consultation with a dermatologist and specialist in infectious diseases is necessary before performing fractional rejuvenation.

What is the course of treatment

One therapy session takes 25 to 40 minutes. Reparative therapy can be applied to the face, neck and décolleté. In the office, the patient is in a lying position and can relax.

For maximum effect, 3-4 procedures are required. The optimal interval between sessions is 2 to 4 weeks. During this time, the epidermis and dermis fully restore their regenerative potential. The standard course consists of 4 procedures. The visual effects were most pronounced 3 months after the end of the course. If necessary, the session can be repeated after 1 year.

Eventually, there is likely a slight itching or burning sensation, which will go away after 1-2 hours. Hyperemia and unseen swelling lasts for 2-3 days. During the initial recovery period, dermatologists recommend the use of dextpanthenol healing ointments and sprays.

Hygienic care is allowed on the day of the intervention, only visits to the sauna or swimming pool should be limited to a week. Don't neglect sunscreen - the part that sticks out after treatment is very sensitive to ultraviolet rays.

Fractional exposure is an effective method, the effect of which on the signs of aging has been proven by scientific research. The safety, painless, and convenience of intervention make it one of the most popular in cosmetology practice.
