The main indicator of a woman's youthfulness is young and glowing skin. Very often you can hear complaints that the skin of the face deteriorated in just a few weeks: dryness and wrinkles appeared. The specialist will immediately understand what is at stake. This situation can arise due to a decrease in the production of female hormones. At this stage of every woman's life, serious hormonal changes begin, therefore, timely competent technique for skin rejuvenation is required.
Fractional laser rejuvenation
Fractional Laser Rejuvenation is a strategy for skin rejuvenation in a woman's tough time.
This procedure removes skin changes without surgery.
Fractional laser is the best option instead of aggressive laser exposure, photorejuvenation, DOT therapy and chemical peel.
Fraxel is a laser used to rejuvenate the surface of the skin and its deep layers. Unlike others, the fractional laser has a high stimulating ability to reproduce collagen with minimal traumatic effects on the facial skin.
The laser beam passes through a filter which splits it into several laser beams. For this reason, a large traumatic surface does not form on the skin and the areas of healthy skin between the treated areas stimulate increased production of collagen.
Thefractional laser can be used on any area of the skin, without risk of complications and regardless of its phototype. The laser procedure can be carried out at any time of the year, but respecting the rules of protection of the skin from sunlight.
Patients who have had this procedure can start working the next day. And all thanks to the competent laser settings.

With the help of this technique, an excellent result of skin rejuvenation is achieved in women of different ages.
