At a young age, facial skin looks smooth, fresh and firm, despite its health condition and lack of cosmetic care. Over the years, its appearance gradually changed: first, a pleasant color disappeared and first wrinkles appeared, then spider veins, age spots, and deep folds. Each change indicates that the skin is getting older. When conventional face masks stop working, stronger treatments can save them, one of which is laser facial rejuvenation.
The advantage of fractional phototrolysis (this is its second name) is its complete safety and high efficiency in removing wrinkles and other defects. This procedure is a gentler alternative to surgery or injection.
Laser skin rejuvenation technology
What causes skin aging? There are several main reasons:
- weakness of metabolic processes;
- delayed or incomplete waste disposal;
- disorders of cell growth function;
- reduction of nutrient transfer to cells.
Of course, it is impossible to start the process of cell regeneration in reverse, but there is an opportunity to activate "sleeping" cell activity. For this, laser facial rejuvenation is used. After heat treatment, the active cells are activated, and the weak cells die completely, giving way to stronger specimens. In other words, the cellular composition of the skin is renewed.
The quality and speed of the recovery process depends on the diameter of the laser beam. The thickness must be less than 200 microns. Fractional thermolysis has enhanced the effect of laser treatment: instead of a single ray, many microscopic rays act on the surface of the skin, as if forming a net. The local zone is an innovation in the application of laser technology. They help not to touch healthy skin areas, thus contributing to early recovery.
Fractional laser rejuvenation type
Rejuvenation and adoption occur through the use of two effective methods of exposure, which differ in some features of laser use.
- Treatment of the entire surface of the skin
Its main function is to evaporate cells over the epidermis. The superficial and visible microscopic area is removed, causing a lifting effect - the skin looks tight. As a result, the first signs of aging disappear - traces of fine wrinkles.
- Method of exposure without injury to the surface of the skin
It works on the deeper and lower layers of the dermis and epidermis without affecting the upper extremities. In this way, it is recommended to solve the deep problem of the irreversible skin aging process. With the help of laser beams, new cell membrane frameworks are built, metabolic processes are activated, collagen production is improved, and as a result, the skin looks younger from within.
Both methods are intended for local treatment, i. e. the surrounding skin area is not affected - this is necessary for a quick and complete skin recovery. In fact, fractional laser facial rejuvenation can be called a heat shock, which renews healthy cell growth.
The combination of these two methods allows you to obtain maximum results due to the double healing impulse from the outside and from the inside. This technique is practiced in many modern clinics with laser equipment.
Progress and results of the procedure
The advantage of laser skin treatment is the painlessness, which is an interesting factor for people with high pain. The procedure itself is divided into several stages.
- Surface anesthesia, after which the patient does not feel pain, but only feels a little tingling in the treatment area. The composition of the anesthetic is applied immediately before the session.
- Conducts sessions using special tools, the action of which is based on the use of fractional lasers. The duration of the session is one hour, although the exact time depends on the number of zones treated.
- Apply a refreshing cream on the skin.
- Consult with a specialist in skin care
The skin will take about a week to re-examine. This is a relatively short period of time compared to, for example, surgery.
In the first two days, the swelling will remain on the face, then turn red, after which the skin will begin to peel off - the process of release of dead cells begins. They will be replaced by healthy young cells, which will give a fresh and youthful look.
Instructions for fractional phototrolysis
A large number of women, and some men are no exception, taking care of themselves, so not only fractional facial rejuvenation, but also laser phototrolysis on other parts of the body becomes popular.
Often, patients turn away if they need:
- restoration of the skin of the whole body or part of it, especially visible;
- capillary network removal and pigmentation;
- pore reduction;
- removes scars, stretch marks, scars;
- skin whitening;
- smoothes or removes facial wrinkles;
- rejuvenation of the skin of the hands, chest, neck;
- skin texture update, lift.
Contraindications to the procedure
Every salon procedure has general and specific contraindications, laser treatment of facial skin is no exception.
Therefore, the procedure using fractional lasers is prohibited for patients with any of the following diagnoses:- lack of immunity, as a result - frequent infectious diseases;
- pregnancy, lactation;
- dermatosis in the treatment area;
- scar;
- cancer;
- chronic blood disease, diabetes mellitus;
- herpes
In addition, laser rejuvenation should be delayed if you have taken retinoids for six months before the session and if you have fresh tan on your body.
Every woman, regardless of age, wants to have attractive and healthy skin
There are a number of diseases for which the procedure may be performed, but only after consulting a specialist, therefore, before the session, it is necessary to see your doctor. However, if one or more contraindications are identified, it is recommended to withstand a certain period until complete recovery or onset of the condition when the body is ready for laser. The procedure itself is safe, but if there is a disease, it can provoke further development.
If you are unable to use a laser, you should choose another method to eliminate the signs of skin aging, such as Botox injections or hyaluronic acid.
