Fractional facial rejuvenation is a safe, minimally invasive technique for restoring and rejuvenating facial skin surface turgor. This technology is considered to be one of the most effective alternatives to surgery.
Fractional facial rejuvenation procedure
The processes of growth, division and metabolism gradually slow down, leading to a loss of cell activity. The purpose of the fractional rejuvenation procedure is to restore cell regeneration and natural function. This is due to laser thermal damage to small amounts of elastin and collagen fibers, which helps neutralize unusable cells and activate healthy cells.
As a result of the thermal effect, internal and external rejuvenation takes place, pigmentation spots, skin blemishes, stretch marks, scars and scars disappear. Fractional thermolysis is performed on local areas of the skin surface because the laser beam used in the process is divided into many microfibers that form a network. Thanks to this structure, healthy skin areas are not damaged and the renewal process is faster.
The result of using a fractionated laser is noticeable after the first procedure, the skin becomes more elastic and firmer, its texture improves, small blood vessels become invisible and pigmentation is reduced. The effect of the laser helps to activate the work of collagen fibers, which are considered the natural frames of the skin, so after a week the fine wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin color is evened out and the contour of the face becomes more expressive.
The mechanism of action of laser beams varies depending on the depth and characteristics of the penetration, so there are these types of fractional rejuvenations:
- Ablative: characterized by the removal of superficial microareas of the skin, which contributes to the gradual tightening of damaged micro-zones;
- Non-ablative: consists of deep penetration of fractionated rays without damaging the outer layers of the epidermis.
The benefits of fractional facial rejuvenation will be:
- achieves a tangible effect after the first session;
- short recovery period;
- is performed without anesthesia;
- applies to all skin types;
- personal processing program;
- minimal risk of further complications and damage to the skin surface;
- lasting result.
Fractional facial skin rejuvenation is recommended for such facial skin defects:
- pigmentation and capillaries;
- age-related changes in the skin;
- scars and scars;
- enlarged pores and acne;
- uneven skin color and texture;
- sagging of the skin;
- stretch marks;
- moles, papillomas and warts.
There are also contraindications to fractional facial rejuvenation:
- Presence of inflammatory processes in the area to be treated;
- skin infections;
- allergy;
- psoriasis;
- epilepsy;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- Presence of malignancies in the area of laser exposure.
Surface anesthesia minimizes the development of discomfort during the procedure, with the patient only feeling mild tingling in the work area.
At the heart of this technology is the effect of a grid of fractionated rays on certain areas of the skin surface, after which old cells are eliminated, leaving room for new ones to form. The direction and depth of penetration of the rays are adjusted using a special device that allows precise stimulation of the epidermis and prevents the development of injuries and burns. The duration of the procedure is due to the size of the developed area, on average the duration of the session lasts from half an hour to one hour.
Fractional facial rejuvenation has a special recovery time. Upon completion of the procedure, reddening of the skin is observed, which eventually heals within 10 days. It is possible for an ichor to form, which dries out in the form of a crust and then disappears. Speed and quality, as well as flawlessness of the end result, depend on adherence to skin care recommendations:
- do not use decorative cosmetics;
- wash with boiled water;
- stay out of the day for a week;
- performs ozone therapy;
- Do not use scrubs and exfoliation until the end of the rehabilitation period as they may damage the fragile and young skin.
Fractional facial rejuvenation combines well with other skin surface correction technologies. For maximum efficiency, it is recommended to perform this procedure in combination with contour plastics and Botox injections.
