The first wrinkles are one of the most visible manifestations of aging.Initially, the process is practically not manifested - the skin looks fresh, tightened, smooth, regardless of how the night was spent or what a cosmetic product you used.Closer to 30, the first signs of skin wither appear: its texture, color, appearance change.To 40 vessels or vascular stars become more and more noticeable, areas with hyperpigmentation appear.The appearance of each extra fold or spot on the face, in addition to our will, adds several additional years.
Unfortunately, to return the skin of a naturally healthy look, it is not enough to eliminate visible manifestations of aging, another thing is important - to restore the viability of the dermis cells, their ability to renew and share.In some cases, it can help her with natural means, for example, make a gelatin face mask that contains natural proteins (proteins), restoring collagen fibers.You can make a paraffin face mask, which, due to high temperatures, penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, stimulate the development and growth of cells, thereby stopping the aging of the skin.Such procedures are important to do on time, otherwise - a trip to the cosmetologist is inevitable.
When youth and its former smoothness is not possible to return the skin with home remedies, salon procedures come to help, one of which we will talk below.We are talking about fractional PhotoThermolysis or laser rejuvenation of the skin (DOT).The technology was tested back in 2004, and since then it showed excellent results of wrinkles and skin rejuvenation.It is completely safe, characterized by high indicators of elimination of defects and wrinkles.According to cosmetologists, fractional laser rejuvenation is a worthy, safe alternative to biorevitalization with hyaluronic acid or surgical facelift of the face.
What is fractional laser rejuvenation?
As we have already written, the main reason for the aging of the skin is a deterioration in the functional abilities of metabolism, cell growth, slowed down waste output, reducing the intake of nutrients to cells.Fortunately, laboratory research has shown that this is the reversible process, that is, to activate cell activity - perhaps!
Scientists have found that after thermal laser exposure, part of the dermis cells are activated, while others die.The latter are dying because they do not have the potential for further recovery (they are more dead than alive), while more powerful - occupy the released intercellular space.The thermal effects arising after laser processing activates cell activity, resumes growth, cell renewal.
The speed and quality of cell recovery depends on the diameter of the laser beam, its thickness should not exceed 200 microns, then a layer of young and healthy skin will be formed on the treated area.Therefore, the laser rejuvenation method was improved due to the introduction of fractional thermalization: the beam is divided into many micro-rays, creating a mesh structure of exposure to the processed surface.The innovation of the technology lies in the fact that the laser works in local micro-thermal zones, which retains intact areas of the skin-they accelerate healing, restoration of the skin.
Types of fractional photothermolysis
Field laser rejuvenation is quite successfully used for lifting and rejuvenation of the skin, in one of two possible methods of exposure: Ablative and non-bative.They differ in the characteristics of the action of the laser, the depth of its penetration, the effects on micro-thermal therapeutic zones.
Ablative fractional photothermolysis acts on the upper cells of the epidermis, literally evaporating them.In other words, with Ablative PhotoMorysis, only the upper layer of the dermis is exposed to exposure.
Non-Blative Fractional photothermolysis-has an effect on the lower dermal and epidermal layers, leaving the upper layer of the dermis untouched.
In both cases, the laser beam has a local effect: around the processed areas, the cell programming area is preserved, which form the potential for the subsequent restoration of the skin.In other words, thermal shock activates metabolic processes and the growth of healthy cells.
ABLATIVE FELECTION FECTIONS photothermolysis removes superficial (visible) micro-largers, has a lifting effect, quickly tightens the processed areas, so its results are visible after the first procedure.It perfectly smoothes surface wrinkles - suitable for eliminating the first signs of aging of the skin of the face.
Non -ablative method of laser impact-suitable for solving deep problems, when the skin aging is irreversible is the so-called heavy artillery of laser rejuvenation.Acting on the deeper layers of the dermis and epidermis, the laser activates metabolic processes, forms a new membrane frame, activates the production of collagen, so the skin is restored and younger from the inside.
Obviously, the maximum result of fractional photothermia is achieved with the combined use of Ablative and non-bative exposure.In this case, the skin receives a double impulse - from the inside and outside, which ensures the duration of the effect of skin rejuvenation.
A similar methodology is used by most modern medical centers with modern laser equipment.
The results of fractional rejuvenation
It is possible to obtain evidence that after fractional laser rejuvenation, the skin will become even, smooth, without wrinkles after the first ablative procedure.Within a week, the oval is pulled up, wrinkles are pulled together, the complexion is aligned.To fix and maintain the result, according to the reviews of cosmetologists, several procedures are necessary once a month.
With a combined fractional rejuvenation (combination of ablation and non-astro)-the effect of rejuvenation is achieved faster, lasting longer, up to 2-3 years.In many ways, the achieved results depend on the lifestyle of the patient.Refusal of smoking, alcohol, a healthy lifestyle, sleep, preventive face masks - help to significantly extend youth and prevent skin withering.
How is fractional rejuvenation
An unconditional plus of the procedure is painlessness.The cosmetologist uses surface anesthesia, the patient feels only a weak tingling in the treated area.Anesthetic is applied shortly before the start of the session, the duration of which is about an hour - it all depends on the area of the processed surface.
After the procedure, the cosmetologist should advise you how to care for the skin, apply a special cream on it.
Important: immediately after the procedure, your skin will not need any additional care.
You will need a little more than a week to return to the usual rhythm, while surgical restoration requires a much greater period of adaptation and recovery.
For the first two days, the face will swell, after which (2-4 senses) the skin will turn red, and later (4-7 days), dead cells will begin to leave, it peeling off, releasing a place for beautiful, young, healthy skin.
Contraindications of fractional rejuvenation
Like other salon procedures, this also eats a number of contraindications, including:
- malignant or benign formations in places of processing;
- cancer and chemotherapy;
- dermatoses, photodermatosis in places;
- herpetic infection that arose over the past month;
- acute infectious diseases, immunodeficiency;
- chronic diseases (diabetes mellitus, blood coagulation, thromboembolic diseases);
- history of keloid scars;
- visits to the solarium in recent years or a fresh tan;
- lactation, pregnancy;
- The use of retinoids over the past 6 months (inside).
- In other cases.According to cosmetologists, the procedure is completely safe.
Reviews of real people about fractional rejuvenation
Advertising of cosmetic salons about miraculous rejuvenation - of course, is good.However, on our site we do not advertise a certain salon.Therefore, we will try to look at this through the eyes of ordinary women who have already passed through laser fractional rejuvenation.
Most of women's reviews are reduced to the following shortcomings:
- Long -term recovery period.Many women complain that swelling does not pass in 2-4 days, but after 2 weeks.The skin is reder, in allergies - there is a high probability of allergies.
- Inefficiency.Many women claim that, on the contrary, swelling, bags under the eyes, the red face makes them in the eyes of acquaintances much older than they were before the procedure.
- Wrinkles do not decrease.So all women echo.Traces from acne - yes, pigmentation is reduced, but wrinkles remain.
- High price.According to cosmetologists, the procedure is effective only with frequent re -use.Given the fact that the price of fractional rejuvenation is high, the total recovery rate is expensive (estimated price from 1000 rubles per 1 sq. Centimeter).
To do or not to do fractional laser rejuvenation is to decide.Perhaps it makes sense to try folk remedies, for example, a paraffin or alginate face mask.They are effective, which is proven, harmless and are cheap.
