Fractional Facial Rejuvenation is a safe, minimally invasive technique for restoring and rejuvenating facial skin surface turgor. This technology is considered to be one of the most effective alternatives to surgical intervention.
Fractional facial rejuvenation procedure
Gradually slows down the processes of growth, division and metabolism, leading to a loss of cell activity. The fractional rejuvenation procedure aims to restore cell regeneration and their natural functioning. This is due to laser thermal damage from small amounts of elastin and collagen fibers, which helps to neutralize useless cells and activate healthy cells.
Due to the thermal effect, internal and external rejuvenation occurs, age spots, skin imperfections, stretch marks, scars and scars are eliminated. Fractional thermolysis is performed on local areas of the skin surface, since the laser beam used in the procedure is divided into multiple micro-beams that form the mesh structure. Thanks to this structure, healthy areas of the skin are not damaged and the renewal process is faster.
The result of using a fractional laser is noticeable after the first procedure, the skin becomes more elastic and tense, its texture improves, small vessels become invisible and pigmentation decreases. The action of the laser helps to activate the work of collagen fibers, which are considered to be the natural skeleton of the skin, so after a week the fine wrinkles are smoothed, the skin color is smoothed and the facial outline becomes more pronounced.
The mechanism of action of laser beams differs in the depth and characteristics of penetration, so there are such types of fractional rejuvenation:
- Achieve a real session after the first session;
- Short recovery period;
- is performed without the use of anesthesia;
- Applies to all skin types;
- personal development program;
- Minimal risk of further complications and damage to the skin surface;
- long lasting result.
Use of facial skin rejuvenation is recommended in the presence of such defects of the facial skin surface:
- Pigmentation and capillaries;
- age-related changes in the skin;
- scars and scars;
- enlarged pores and acne;
- Uneven skin color and texture;
- lowering of the skin;
- stretch marks;
- moles, papillomas and warts.
There are also contraindications for fractional facial rejuvenation:
- Presence of inflammatory processes in the treated area;
- skin infections;
- allergy;
- psoriasis;
- epilepsy;
- Pregnancy and lactation;
- Presence of malignant neoplasms in the area of laser exposure.
The use of superficial anesthesia reduces the occurrence of discomfort during the procedure, the only thing the patient feels is a slight tingling sensation on which he is working.
The essence of this technology is characterized by the impact of a network of fractional rays on certain areas of the skin surface, after which the old cells are eliminated, thus creating a place for the formation of new ones. The direction and depth of penetration of the rays is regulated using a special device, which makes it possible to provide point stimulation of the epidermis and prevent the formation of injuries and burns. The duration of the procedure depends on the size of the treated area, on average, the duration of the session lasts from half an hour to one hour.
Fractional facial rejuvenation has a special recovery period. After the procedure, redness of the skin is observed, which finally heals within 10 days. It is possible to form an ichor, which dries in the form of a crust, after which it disappears by itself. Speed and quality, as well as the flawlessness of the end result, depend on following skin care recommendations:
- Do not use decorative cosmetics;
- Wash with boiling water;
- away from 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 young layer of the skin.
Fractional facial rejuvenation combines well with other skin surface correction technologies. For maximum effectiveness, it is recommended to perform the procedure in combination with contouring and Botox injections.
