It's a shame, it looks like I'm still young - and wrinkles, age spots and other cosmetic blemishes are already showing. You can get rid of it with a fractional rejuvenation procedure. How it works?
You always want to look beautiful, no matter how old you are. But time is running out inexorably and is reflected in the appearance. Over the years, the skin becomes less elastic, wrinkles, age spots and other visible blemishes appear. Modern technologies allow you to prolong youth by using laser exposure on problem areas. Let's find out about fractional rejuvenation: what it is, how it happens and the results of this procedure.
What is it
Cells lose activity over time, which slows down regeneration processes. It is necessary to restore youth not only visually, but also to help the cell recover and continue active work. Only in this way can the skin acquire a healthy, firmer and smooth appearance.
The first fractional laser rejuvenation was performed in 2004. It was developed specifically to treat the signs of aging. After obtaining the first studies and excellent results, the procedure was actively used in many beauty salons. The actions are completely safe, effectively combating cosmetic flaws.
Advantages and execution technique
Laser rejuvenation has several advantages to illustrate why this anti-aging method is worth using:
- one procedure is enough for good results;
- no anesthesia is used;
- is not an operation;
- safe, no side effects;
- there is no need for a long period of rehabilitation;
- the effect is similar to the Botox injection technique;
- has a long duration.
This method of rejuvenation is called fractional because it only affects problem areas exposed to small laser beams. The intact areas, namely the cells of the epidermis, actively begin to work, multiply and heal the areas treated with laser quickly. The full rehabilitation period lasts no more than three days, depending on the condition of the skin. Collagen is actively produced in cells, which in turn:
- smoothes wrinkles, creases;
- the skin is tightened;
- aligns the oval of the face; Age spots
- are lightened.
The procedure does not cause discomfort, is painless, the redness disappears quickly. The fractional laser action is somewhat similar to the ray resurfacing method, but it has more capabilities and is more efficient. In another way, it is called photorejuvenation.
The principle of action is that damaged skin is exposed to thermal shock at sufficiently high temperature ranges. The beautician uses a small device on which the elements are installed, through which the laser rays penetrate. As the rays are very hot, the skin is treated very quickly to prevent burns.
The result depends on the severity of the defects. The deeper the wrinkles, the more treatment will be necessary. The healing time also depends on the individual and their state of health.
The skin is sufficiently exposed to a laser beam finer than two hundred microns, so that a new layer of epidermis appears on the treated area. The rays are similar to a fine mesh and are applied exclusively to problem areas, on the face, neck, legs, around the eyes. This mesh allows not to affect the surrounding areas, and allows them to activate the healing and repair of cells.
Types of photorejuvenation
In the field of cosmetology, two types of fractional thermolysis are used, differing from each other in the degree of impact and the main characteristics.
- Ablative method- thermoactivity acts on the upper layers of the skin, on the cells.
- Non-relational rejuvenation- laser beams work exclusively on the deep layers of the epidermis.
Many fractional machines today use CO2 laser beams. They are more advanced and have reached a new level in recent years. Before starting the procedure, it should be clarified which laser will be used, 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. The double impact foot improves the result and keeps it for a long time. With modern equipment, beauticians develop rejuvenation programs for skin type and health condition.
When to refuse
Like any other intervention in the natural work of the body, fractional facial rejuvenation has its own contraindications. Ft procedures should not be performed if:
- you are pregnant;
- has epilepsy;
- for oncology;
- severe skin inflammation, with psoriasis;
- for herpes;
- if you have 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, since the existing problem can be significantly intensified by exposure to heat and make the situation worse.
What to expect
Photothermolysis is intended for face lifting and skin rejuvenation. With the help of cosmetic procedures, one immediately notices how the skin is tightened, wrinkles disappear within a few days, and the contours become clearer. To make the effect even better, it is recommended to perform several procedures with a difference of one month to six months, depending on the first result.
To improve the condition of the face, many cosmetologists recommend combining fractional types of CO2 laser exposure. This, in turn, allows you to preserve your youth for a long time, prolong the regeneration processes of the skin and prevent premature aging.
The patient recovers fairly quickly, within a week. The timing also depends directly on the type chosen. On the first or two days, the skin becomes noticeably swollen, there is redness. However, after 4 to 5 days, the dead cells leave the skin, the epidermis is covered with a new healthy layer. If you correctly coordinate your actions, choose a good responsible cosmetologist, find out if there are any contraindications, then the photorejuvenation procedure will be only for good.
