Fractional facial rejuvenation is a safe and minimally invasive technique to restore and rejuvenate turgor on the skin surface of the face. This technology is considered to be one of the most effective alternatives to surgery.
Fractional facial rejuvenation procedure
Gradually, the processes of growth, division and metabolism slow down, which leads to loss of cell activity. The fractional rejuvenation procedure aims to restore cell regeneration and their natural functioning. This is due to the thermal damage from the laser to a small amount of elastin and collagen fibers, which helps neutralize unusable cells and activate healthy cells.
Due to the thermal effect, internal and external rejuvenation takes place, age spots, skin imperfections, stretch marks, scars and scars are removed. Fractional thermolysis is performed on local areas of the skin surface, since the laser beam used in the procedure is divided into many micro-beams, which form a mesh structure. Thanks to this structure, healthy skin areas 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, the small vessels become invisible and the pigmentation decreases. The action of the laser promotes the activation of the work of collagen fibers, considered the natural skeleton of the skin. Therefore, after a week, the fine wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin color is unified, and the facial contour becomes more expressive.
The mechanism of action of laser beams, depending on the depth and characteristics of penetration, is different, so there are such types of fractional rejuvenation:
- Ablative: characterized by the elimination of superficial micro-areas of the skin, which contributes to the progressive tightening of damaged micro-areas;
- Non-ablative: it 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 payback period;
- is performed without the use of anesthesia;
- applies to all skin types;
- personal treatment program;
- minimal risk of further complications and damage to the skin surface;
- lasting result.
The use of fractional rejuvenation of the skin of the face is recommended in the presence of such defects of the skin surface of the face:
- pigmentation and capillaries;
- age-related skin changes;
- scars and scars;
- enlarged pores and acne;
- uneven skin color and texture;
- sagging skin;
- stretch marks;
- moles, papillomas and warts.
There are also contraindications to fractional facial rejuvenation:
- the presence of inflammatory processes in the area under development;
- 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 discomfort during the procedure, the only thing the patient may experience is a slight tingling sensation in the working area.
The essence of this technology is characterized by the effect of a grid of fractional rays on certain areas of the skin surface, after which the old cells are removed, leaving room for the formation of new ones. The direction and depth of penetration of the rays is adjusted with the help of a special device, which allows to provide punctual stimulation to the epidermis and to 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 an hour.
Fractional Facial Rejuvenation has a special payback period. After the procedure is completed, redness of the skin is observed, which finally heals in 10 days. The formation of an ichor is possible, which dries up in the form of a crust, after which it disappears. The speed and quality, as well as the impeccable quality of the end result, depend on following the skin care recommendations:
- do not use decorative cosmetics;
- wash with boiled water;
- keep out of the sun for a week;
- perform ozone therapy;
- Do not use scrubs and peels before the end of the rehabilitation period, as they can damage the fragile and young skin.
Fractional facial rejuvenation combines well with other skin surface correction technologies. To achieve maximum effectiveness, it is recommended to perform this procedure in combination with contouring and Botox injections.
