Fractional laser resurfacing

young and old skin

Modern methods of hardware cosmetology allow you to look younger by 5-6 years quickly and easily, without resorting to plastic surgery. Fractional laser rejuvenation stands out among popular techniques. It helps restore skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles and remove age-related pigmentation. The method works due to light radiation of different spectrum and power.

Features of the procedure

Fractional laser skin rejuvenation is a non-surgical technology that has enabled millions of women to restore fresh, firm skin on their face, neck and cleavage. With the help of photothermolysis, the horny layers of the dermis are removed. As a result, the skin relief is leveled, fine wrinkles are smoothed out and the oval is restored. In the practice of medical cosmetologists, specialists return the charm of youth with the help of an innovative device. We select the optimal treatment set for you and ensure the rejuvenation of all areas affecting you.

The effectiveness of the technology is based on a deep effect on skin cells. Laser beams form the thinnest grid and penetrate to a certain depth. They heat specific cells of the dermis to 70-80°C, leaving adjacent areas untouched. Untreated areas are tightened to restore skin integrity and provide a lasting lifting effect.

Laser rejuvenation can be:

superficial (ablative)

deep

The method copes well with the first signs of skin aging. The jet affects the cells of the epidermis at a depth of no more than 1. 5 mm.

The radiation penetrates 5 mm. Under its influence, the production of collagen and elastin is accelerated, due to which the membrane frame is updated.

Fractional laser resurfacing is recommended if you:

  • pronounced pores;
  • scars, scars, striae;
  • dark spots;
  • gravitational ptosis (the appearance of wrinkles, drooping of the eyelids and corners of the lips, cheeks);
  • decreased elasticity and turgor of the skin;
  • Hyper- or parakeratosis (excessive growth of the epidermis and appearance of a granular effect).

Stages of fractional taper

A session of fractional laser rejuvenation can last from a few minutes to 1 hour, the exact time is determined by the amount of work and the area of rejuvenation.

During this period, areas that have undergone photothermolysis must be protected from the sun with products with an SPF of 30 units or more. Otherwise, the risk of hyperpigmentation increases.

To accelerate cell regeneration and eliminate the feeling of tightness and dryness, apply a healing cream to the skin every 4-5 hours for the first two days.

For additional deep hydration of cells, a biorevitalization procedure can be performed 2 weeks after photothermolysis.

Within 10 days after the session, the use of scrubs and scrubs is not allowed. This can reduce the protective properties of the skin and slow down regeneration processes.

After 10-14 days, moisturizing masks with collagen can be applied.
