Fractional laser facial skin rejuvenation

Pros and cons of fractional facial skin rejuvenation with laser

The aging process is a natural biological law of any human organism. Inevitably, signs of skin aging in the form of wrinkles, reduced tone and age spots appear in various parts of the body. The face is particularly prone to fading due to the constant influence of ultraviolet radiation, the work of the facial and chewing muscles. For obvious reasons, women of all ages want to keep their faces fit and young. In such a situation, not only creams and masks come to the rescue, but also skin rejuvenation using fractional exposure.

The essence and advantages of the method

Technology is the exposure of high frequency energy to the skin. Rays of a certain wavelength produce thermal reactions or rather evaporate cells at a predetermined depth. The destruction of some cells triggers the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers. With age, there is a significant decrease in skin thickness, collagen and elastin synthesis. In fact, it is these fibers that give elasticity and youth to the skin, which are the building blocks of the epidermis and dermis. Thus, the face is rejuvenated under the influence of the laser.

Laser rejuvenation is a modern technique that has proven itself in the cosmetology services market. Let's look at some of the advantages:

  • Fractional therapy is absolutely painless. According to reviews, there is not even minimal discomfort.
  • Technology means minimal damage to the skin as the scars disappear within 4-5 days after treatment.
  • Technology allows you to work in a large area at the same time. This approach activates the regenerative processes as much as possible, leading to active smoothing of wrinkles.

Side effects and adverse reactions are extremely rare after the intervention described. The most typical are hyperemia and peeling in the treatment area, moderate self-relieving itching. Sometimes there is an activation of herpes infection. In frequent herpes flares, consultation with a dermatologist and an infectious disease specialist is required before performing fractional rejuvenation.

What is the course of treatment

A therapy session takes 25 to 40 minutes. Reparative treatment can be applied to the face, neck and décolleté area. In the office, the patient is in a supine position and can relax.

3-4 procedures are required to achieve maximum effect. The optimal interval between sessions is 2 to 4 weeks. During this time, the epidermis and dermis fully restore their regenerative potential. The standard course consists of 4 procedures. The most noticeable visual effect is noticeable 3 months after the end of the course. If necessary, the sessions can be repeated after 1 year.

Finally, there is a high probability of itching or mild burning sensation that will stop on its own after 1-2 hours. Hyperemia and unexpressed swelling lasts 2-3 days. In the early recovery period, dermatologists recommend using dextpanthenol healing ointments and sprays.

On the day of the intervention, hygienic care is allowed, during the week only visits to the sauna or pool should be limited. Do not neglect sunscreens - after treatment, skin is particularly sensitive to ultraviolet light.

Fractional exposure is an effective method whose effect on the signs of aging has been proven by scientific research. The safety, painlessness and comfort of the intervention make it one of the most popular in cosmetology practice.
