Fractional facial rejuvenation is a safe and minimally invasive technique to restore and rejuvenate the turgor of the face's skin surface. This technology is considered one of the most effective alternatives to surgical intervention.
Fractional facial rejuvenation procedure
Gradually, the processes of growth, division and metabolism slow down, which leads to loss of cellular activity. The fractional rejuvenation procedure aims to restore cell regeneration and its natural functioning. This is due to the thermal damage of the laser to a small amount of elastin and collagen fibers, which helps to neutralize unusable cells and activate healthy cells.
Due to the thermal effect, internal and external rejuvenation occurs, eliminating age spots, skin imperfections, stretch marks, scars and scars. Fractional thermolysis is carried out on local areas of the skin surface, since the laser beam used in the procedure is divided into several micro-beams, which form a mesh structure. Thanks to this structure, healthy areas of the skin are not damaged and the renewal process is faster.
The result of using the 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 promotes the activation of the work of collagen fibers, which are considered the natural skeleton of the skin, because, after a week, fine wrinkles are smoothed, the skin color is uniform and the face contour is more expressive.
The mechanism of action of the laser beams, depending on the depth and penetration characteristics, is different, as there are these types of fractional rejuvenation:
- Ablative: characterized by the removal of superficial micro areas of the skin, which contributes to the gradual narrowing of the damaged micro zones;
- Non-ablative: consists of deep penetration of fractional rays without damaging the outer layers of the epidermis.
The benefits of fractional facial rejuvenation will be:
- achieving a tangible effect after the first session;
- short recovery period;
- is performed without the use of anesthesia;
- applies to all skin types;
- personal processing program;
- minimal risk of additional complications and damage to the skin surface;
- long-lasting result.
The use of fractional rejuvenation of the facial skin is recommended in the presence of such defects of the facial skin surface:
- pigmentation and capillaries;
- age-related skin changes;
- scars and scars;
- enlarged pores and acne;
- irregular skin color and texture;
- sagging skin;
- streaks;
- moles, papillomas and warts.
There are also contraindications for fractional facial rejuvenation:
- the presence of inflammatory processes in the worked area;
- skin infections;
- allergies;
- psoriasis; epilepsy;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- presence of malignant neoplasms in the area of laser exposure.
The use of surface anesthesia minimizes the formation of unpleasant sensations during the procedure, the only thing the patient can feel is a slight tingling sensation in the area to be worked.
The essence of this technology is characterized by the effect of a grid of fractional rays in certain areas of the skin surface, after which the old cells are eliminated, making room for the formation of new ones. The direction and depth of penetration of the rays are adjusted by means of a special device, which allows to stimulate the epidermis punctually and prevent the formation of injuries and burns. The duration of the procedure is due to the volume of the area to be worked, on average, the duration of the session takes from half an hour to one hour.
Fractional facial rejuvenation has a special recovery period. After the completion of the procedure, redness of the skin is observed, which finally heals in 10 days. Perhaps the formation of an ichor, which dries in the form of a crust, after which it disappears. The speed and quality, as well as the perfection of the final result, depend on the fulfillment of the skin care recommendations:
- do not use decorative cosmetics;
- wash with boiled water;
- stay out of the sun for a week;
- perform ozone therapy;
- Do not use exfoliants and peels until the end of the rehabilitation period, as they can damage the fragile and young skin layer.
Fractional facial rejuvenation combines well with other skin surface correction technologies. To obtain maximum efficiency, this procedure is recommended to be performed in combination with contour plastics and Botox injections.
