Fractional facial rejuvenation is a minimally invasive and safe technique for restoring and rejuvenating the surface turgor of facial skin. This technology is considered one of the most effective alternatives to surgical intervention.
Fractional Facial Rejuvenation Procedures
Gradually the process of growth, cleavage and metabolism slows down, resulting in loss of cell activity. Fractional rejuvenation procedures aim to restore cell regrowth and their natural function. This is due to the thermal damage of the laser on a small amount of elastin and collagen fibers, which helps neutralize unusable cells and activate healthy cells.
Due to thermal effects, internal and external rejuvenation occurs, pigmentation spots, skin imperfections, stretch marks, scars and scars are removed. Fractional thermolysis is performed on the local area of the skin surface, as the laser beams used in this procedure are divided into many micro-rays, which form a mesh structure. Thanks to this structure, healthy skin areas are not injured and the renewal process is faster.
The results of the use of fractional lasers can be seen after the first procedure, the skin becomes more elastic and taut, the texture improves, small vessels become invisible and pigmentation decreases. The laser action stimulates the activation of collagen fiber, which is considered the natural skeleton of the skin, therefore, after a week, fine wrinkles are launched, even skin color and facial outline become more expressive.
The mechanism of action of laser beam, depending on the depth and penetration characteristics, varies, so there is such a kind of fractional rejuvenation:
- Ablative: characterized by the removal of superficial micro-areas on the skin, which contributes to the gradual tightening of the damaged micro-zone;
- Non-ablative: it consists of penetrating deep fracture rays without damaging the outer layer of the epidermis.
Fractional facial rejuvenation benefits will:
- achieve significant effects after the first session;
- short recovery period;
- is performed without the use of anesthesia;
- is used for all skin types;
- personal processing program;
- minimum risk of complications and damage to the skin surface;
- durable results.
The use of fractional facial skin rejuvenation is recommended in the event of such facial skin surface defects:
- pigmentation and capillaries;
- age-related changes in the skin;
- scars and scars;
- pores and acne growing;
- uneven skin color and texture;
- sagging skin;
- stretch marks;
- moles, papillomas and warts.
There are also contraindications for fractional facial rejuvenation:
- the presence of inflammatory processes in the area being worked on;
- skin infections;
- allergies;
- psoriasis;
- epilepsy;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- presence of malignant neoplasms in the laser exposure area.
The use of surface anesthesia minimizes the formation of discomfort during the procedure, the only thing a patient can feel is a slight tingling sensation in the area being worked on.
The core of this technology is characterized by the effect of a fractional ray grid on a specific surface area of the skin, after which the old cells are removed, thus giving room for new formation. The direction and depth of ray penetration is adjusted using special tools, which make it possible to give a point stimulation to the epidermis and prevent the formation of injuries and burns. The duration of the procedure is due to the number of areas being worked on, on average, the duration of the session lasts from half an hour to an hour.
Fractional facial rejuvenation has a special recovery period. Upon completion of the procedure, redness on the skin was observed, which eventually healed within 10 days. Probably the formation of ichor, which dries in the form of a crust, after which it disappears on its own. Speed and quality, as well as the perfection of the end result, depend on adhering to the recommendations for skin care:
- do not use decorative cosmetics;
- wash with boiled water;
- stay away from sunlight for a week;
- performing ozone therapy;
- Do not use scrubs and exfoliators until the end of the recovery period, as it can damage fragile and youthful skin layers.
Fractional facial rejuvenation can be combined with other skin surface correction technologies. For maximum efficiency, this procedure is recommended to be done in conjunction with contour plastics and Botox injections.
