Smooth, velvety skin and a radiant complexion are the first step towards perfection.But stress, lack of sleep, an unbalanced diet, solar radiation, wind, dust negatively affect the condition of our skin.The aging process begins unnoticed: metabolic functions and cell division slow down, which leads to loss of elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles.
Heredity is of great importance, but cosmetic care plays a more significant role.Wanting to prolong youth and beauty, many women resort to various innovative methods, such as fractional laser skin rejuvenation.
Fractional skin rejuvenation is an advanced technology developed by Italian experts, based on the effects of a CO2 laser.The laser penetrates the deep layers of the skin, triggering cell renewal processes and the synthesis of new collagen, restoring elasticity and smoothness to the skin, eliminating pigmentation and wrinkles.
The scanning system allows the doctor to select different exposure densities, produce “point” radiation, thus individually solving various patient problems associated with age-related skin changes: elimination of small and pronounced expression lines on the forehead, around the eyes, nasolabial folds, successful elimination of pigment spots, acne marks, acne or manifestations of hyperkeratosis.
To improve and “consolidate” the effect between fractional rejuvenation procedures, specialists inject hyaluronic acid, which has a powerful moisturizing effect and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers.Or, after eliminating wrinkles, Botox is administered to change the "pathological" habits of the face.
Methodology
The laser beam heats the deep layers of the epidermis and "evaporates" the microparticles of the "old" skin, alternating damaged and undamaged areas.The laser acts fractionally, as if through a "grating".The brain receives a signal about the need to restore the skin and begins increased synthesis of new cells and fibroblasts, due to which the process of thickening of the skin occurs.
Course of procedures
The procedure lasts approximately 30 minutes and the duration of the cycle depends on the age of the patient, the area to be treated, the condition of the skin, the desired effect and the complexity of the problem to be solved.On average, 1-3 procedures are required with an interval of 1 month.Positive changes are noticed immediately after the first session, but the effect gradually increases, “accelerating” starting 2-3 weeks after the course.Results of the procedure
Laser facial resurfacing allows you to achieve a powerful facelift, correcting age-related deformations of the oval of the face.Some women between the ages of 45 and 50 experience the so-called "gravitational ptosis", a violation of the contours of the face.Fractional rejuvenation of the face, neck and décolleté restores skin tone, density and elasticity, resulting in effective firming.Additionally, skin resurfacing is a great way to combat scars and stretch marks.Fresh scars and stretch marks can be eliminated by 90%, and old ones by 60-70%.
Fraxel is also a great way to return your hands to their previous softness, smoothness, eliminate age spots and thin, translucent “parchment” skin, making it dense, velvety and elastic.
Advantages and disadvantages of the method
- High efficiency.The method allows you to achieve a pronounced long-term rejuvenating effect, gives you the opportunity to achieve healthy, glowing skin, restoring its former attractiveness;
- Targeted and targeted impact, which significantly increases the effectiveness of the method, since the laser hits only the problem area, without affecting nearby areas;
- Safety.Fractional rejuvenation is not only a highly effective procedure, but also a safe one.Studies show that no significant negative reactions occur;
- Painless.The procedure is usually performed without anesthesia.But for patients with a high sensitivity threshold, pain relief lotions can be used.
- A slight swelling and a slight redness of the skin may appear immediately after the operation, but these disappear within 2-3 days;
- During the week following surgery, it is advisable to delay sun exposure and use sunscreen to avoid the appearance of age spots.
Contraindications
- Oncology;
- Chronic diseases in the acute phase;
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding period.
