Fractional Laser Facial Skin Rejuvenation

advantages and disadvantages of fractional facial skin rejuvenation with laser

The aging process is a natural biological law of every human organism. Inevitably, signs of skin discoloration in the form of wrinkles, decreased tone, and age spots appear on various parts of the body. The face, due to the constant influence of ultraviolet rays, the work of the facial muscles and chewing, is especially prone to withering. For obvious reasons, women of all ages want to keep their faces fresh and youthful. In such a situation, not only creams and masks come to the rescue, but also skin rejuvenation by fractional exposure.

The essence and advantages of the method

The technology involves exposing the skin to high frequency energy. Beams of a certain wavelength produce thermal reactions, or rather evaporate cells to a predetermined depth. The disappearance of certain cells causes the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers. With age, there is a significant reduction in the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the thickness of the skin. It is these fibers that give the skin elasticity and youthfulness, in fact, being 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 cosmetology service market. Let's look at some of the benefits:

  • Split treatment is absolutely painless. Even minimal discomfort, according to reviews, is absent.
  • The technology involves minimal damage to the skin, due to which the traces after treatment disappear within 4-5 days.
  • The technology allows you to work over a large area at a time. This approach maximally activates the regeneration processes, which leads to the active smoothing of wrinkles.

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

What is the course of treatment

A therapy session lasts 25 to 40 minutes. Restorative therapy can be applied to the face, neck, and décolleté. In the office, the patient is lying down and can relax.

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

At the end there is a high probability of itching or a slight burning sensation, which will automatically stop after 1-2 hours. Hyperemia and unexpressed swelling persist for 2-3 days. During the early recovery period, dermatologists recommend using dextpanthenol healing ointments and sprays.

Hygiene treatments are authorized on the day of the operation, only a visit to the sauna or the swimming pool must be limited during the week. Don't neglect sunscreens - the integuments after treatment are particularly sensitive to ultraviolet light.

Fractional exposure is an effective method, the effect of which on the signs of aging has been proven by scientific research. The safety, painlessness and comfort of the procedure make it one of the most popular practices in cosmetology.
