It's a shame, it looks like I'm still young - and wrinkles, age spots and other cosmetic defects are already showing up. You can get rid of a fractional rejuvenation procedure. How does it work?
You will always look beautiful, regardless of age. But time runs relentlessly and is reflected in appearance. Over the years, the skin becomes less elastic, wrinkles, age spots and other visible defects appear. Modern technologies allow you to prolong youth through laser exposure to problem areas. Let's find out from fractional rejuvenation: what it is, how it happens and the results of this procedure.
What is it
Cells lose their activity over time, slowing down the regeneration processes. It is necessary to return the youth not only visually, but also to help the cell recover and continue its active work. Only in this way does the skin get a healthy look, tightened and smooth.
The first fractionated laser rejuvenation was performed in 2004. It was developed specifically for the treatment of signs of aging. After the first studies were obtained and results with excellent effect, the procedure began to be actively used in many beauty salons. The actions are completely safe and effectively combat cosmetic defects.
Benefits and Execution Techniques
Laser rejuvenation has several benefits that show why this anti-aging method is worth using:
- a procedure is enough for good results;
- no anesthesia is used;
- is not an operation;
- sure, no side effects;
- there is no need for a long rehabilitation period; The
- effect is similar to the Botox injection technique;
- has a long duration.
This rejuvenation method is called fractional because it only affects problem areas that are exposed to small laser beams. The untouched areas, namely the cells in the epidermis, begin to actively work, multiply and quickly heal the areas treated with the laser. The full rehabilitation period lasts no more than three days depending on the condition of the skin. Collagen is actively produced in cells, which in turn:
- smooth wrinkles, folds;
- tightens the skin;
- adjusts the face oval
- pigment spots light up.
The procedure does not cause discomfort, is painless, redness disappears quickly. Fractionated laser action is somewhat similar to the method of surface treatment with rays, but it has more options and is more effective. In another way it is called photorejuvenation.
The principle of action is that the damaged skin is exposed to thermal shock in sufficiently high temperature ranges. The beautician uses a small device where the elements are installed, through which laser beams penetrate. As the rays are very hot, the skin is treated very quickly to avoid burns.
The result depends on the severity of the defects. The deeper the wrinkles, the more treatments are needed. The healing time also depends on the individual and on his state of health.
The skin is sufficiently exposed to a laser beam thinner than two hundred microns to form a new layer of epidermis on the treated area. The rays look like a thin mask and are applied exclusively to problem areas on the face, neck, legs around the eyes. This network does not allow to affect the areas around and to enable them to activate healing and repair of cells.
Types of light rejuvenation
In cosmetology, two types of fractional thermolysis are used, which differ from each other in terms of impact and main characteristics.
- Ablative method- thermoactivity acts on the upper layers of the skin, on the cells.
- Non-relational rejuvenation- laser beams act exclusively on the deep layers of the epidermis.
Many fractional machines today use CO2 laser beams. They are more advanced and have moved to a new level over the last few years. Before starting the procedure, it is worth clarifying which laser will be used, the quality and efficiency of which will depend on it.
To achieve the best effect, it is recommended to combine two types of fractional thermolysis - ablative and non-relativistic. The double batting foot helps to improve the result and keep it for a long time. Thanks to modern equipment, cosmetologists develop rejuvenation programs for skin type and health status.
When should I reject
Like any other intervention in the body's natural function, fractional facial rejuvenation has its contraindications. Ft procedures should not be performed if:
- you are pregnant
- has epilepsy;
- to oncology;
- severe dermatitis with psoriasis
- for herpes;
- if you have recently had a chemical peel on your face
- or sunbathing;
- has vitiligo;
- chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, bad blood clots.
Contraindications should not be ignored as the current problem can greatly intensify from heat exposure and aggravate the situation.
What to Expect
Photothermolysis is intended for facelift and skin rejuvenation. With the help of cosmetic procedures, it immediately becomes noticeable how the skin is tightened, wrinkles disappear within a few days, and the contours become clearer. To make the effect even better, it is recommended to perform several procedures with a difference from one month to six months depending on the initial result.
To improve the condition of the face, many beauticians recommend combining fractions of CO2 laser exposure. This in turn allows you to preserve your youth for a long time, prolong skin regeneration and prevent premature aging.
The patient recovers quickly enough within a week. The timing also depends directly on the type selected. The first day or two, the skin becomes noticeably swollen, there is redness. However, after 4-5 days, dead cells leave the skin, the epidermis is covered with a new and healthy layer. If you properly coordinate your actions, choose a good, responsible cosmetologist, find out if there are any contraindications, then the photo rejuvenation procedure will only be beneficial.
