Smooth, velvety skin and a radiant complexion are the first step towards perfection.But stress, lack of sleep, 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 their 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 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, thereby individually solving various patient problems associated with age-related skin changes: eliminating small and pronounced expression wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, nasolabial folds, successfully eliminating pigment spots, acne marks, acne or manifestations of hyperkeratosis.
To enhance and “consolidate” the effect between fractional rejuvenation procedures, experts 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 “pathological” facial habits.
Methodology
The laser beam heats the deep layers of the epidermis and “evaporates” microparticles of “old” skin, alternating damaged and undamaged areas.The laser acts fractionally, as if it were a “lattice”.The brain receives a signal about the need to restore the skin and the increased synthesis of new cells and fibroblasts begins, as a result of which the process of skin thickening occurs.
Procedures course
The procedure lasts about 30 minutes and the duration of the course depends on the patient's age, 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 noticeable immediately after the 1st session, but the effect increases gradually, “accelerating” from 2 to 3 weeks after the course.Procedure results
Laser facial resurfacing allows you to achieve a powerful facelift, correcting age-related deformations of the oval of the face.Some women aged 45 to 50 have the so-called “gravitational ptosis” - a violation of facial contours.Fractional rejuvenation of the face, neck and décolleté restores skin tone, density and elasticity, resulting in effective tightening.Furthermore, skin resurfacing is an excellent method of combating scars and stretch marks.Recent scars and stretch marks can be eliminated by 90% and old scars by 60-70%.
Fraxel is also a great way to return your hands to their former smoothness and softness, get rid of age spots and “parchment” from thin, translucent skin, making it dense, velvety and elastic.
Advantages and disadvantages of the method
- High efficiency.The method allows you to obtain a pronounced long-term rejuvenating effect, gives you the opportunity to get healthy, radiant skin, restoring its former attractiveness;
- Targeted and targeted impact, which significantly increases the effectiveness of the method, since the laser only affects the problem area, without affecting nearby areas;
- Security.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 an increased sensitivity threshold, analgesic lotions can be used.
- Immediately after the procedure, slight swelling and slight redness may appear on the skin, but they disappear within 2 to 3 days;
- During the week following the procedure, it is advisable to postpone sunbathing and use sunscreen to prevent the appearance of age spots.
Contraindications
- Oncology;
- Chronic diseases in the acute phase;
- Pregnancy and lactation period.
