Fractional rejuvenation involves the use of a laser. This is a very complex procedure that resolves a wide range of skin problems that inevitably arise as the body ages. This requires great professionalism on the part of the specialist who runs it. Only a specialist with medical training and having completed courses on the work with laser equipment is entitled to perform laser rejuvenation. By performing the procedure in a questionable clinic with an unqualified cosmetologist, you can achieve a negative effect instead of the desired rejuvenation.
Fractional laser treatment is a great option for those looking for ways to rejuvenate the face without surgery. By the way, this method is used not only on the face, but also on the body. In particular, using a laser, it is possible to make scars and striae invisible. Therefore, laser rejuvenation will be interesting for those who have long been interested in the problem of removing stretch marks on the body.
Varieties of fractional laser rejuvenation
The fractional laser sends not one beam, but several microscopic beams, which allows you to act on the skin more delicately and delicately.
Fractional laser rejuvenation is divided into two types:
- The first type of fractional rejuvenation is often referred to as laser resurfacing. During such resurfacing, the laser removes very small areas of the top layer of the skin, located at a certain distance from each other. This activates the regeneration processes of the skin. This procedure uses a carbon dioxide laser.
- The second type of fractional rejuvenation is the effect of the finest rays on areas of skin that are at a strictly specified depth. At the same time, the skin surface is not exposed to injury, and in the deep layers of the skin, collagen production is activated and the areas of the skin removed by the laser are filled with new cells. x / li>
Different clinics use different types of lasers, but the principle of the laser rejuvenation method is the same in all cases: inflicting controlled damage to the skin, stimulating it to active recovery and renewal.
In each particular case, the doctor sees which laser technique will be the most appropriate. Before each procedure, the laser is individually adjusted for each patient.
Skin care after fractional skin rejuvenation
The doctor who performed the procedure will tell you how to take care of your skin after laser rejuvenation. The choice of cosmetic products depends on the type of skin, its individual characteristics, as well as the tasks and extent of the procedure performed.
2-3 days after the session, a scab forms on the skin, which is rejected within 3-4 days. At this point it is necessary to use the cream recommended by the doctor. Then, for 1 to 2 months, apply a good sunscreen to the skin before each outing, and use a regenerating nourishing cream in the evening.
Importantly, laser rejuvenation not only corrects existing age-related changes, but also slows down the aging process itself, triggering the mechanism of skin cell renewal.
Who is fractional rejuvenation suitable and with what procedures it is combined
The procedure is always carried out only after prior consultation with a specialist. With strongly pronounced age-related changes, laser resurfacing will be the most expedient, and not laser rejuvenation. In some cases, it is impossible to do without plastic surgery at all: blepharoplasty, endoscopic facelift or the introduction of threads for lifting. But here too, hardware techniques, especially laser rejuvenation, will help enhance and maintain the effect.
Plasmolifting and mesotherapy are perfectly combined with laser techniques, including bio-revitalization with hyaluronic acid.
Laser rejuvenation procedure is not suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women, people with cancer, diabetes mellitus, severe hypertension, psoriasis and dermatosis. Herpetic rashes and inflammatory processes in the affected area are also a contraindication to the procedure. Laser rejuvenation is not recommended for people with keloid scars or a family history of vitiligo.
