Smooth, velvety skin and a radiant complexion are the first step towards perfection.But stress, lack of sleep, unbalanced nutrition, solar radiation, wind, dust negatively affect the condition of our skin.The aging process begins unnoticed: metabolic functions and cell division slow down, which entails loss of elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles.
Heredity is of great importance, but cosmetic care plays a more significant role.Wanting to prolong youth and beauty, many women resort to various innovative methods, such as laser fractional skin rejuvenation.
Fractional skin rejuvenation is an advanced technology developed by Italian experts, based on the effects of a CO2 laser.The laser penetrates into the deep layers of the skin, triggering cell renewal processes and the synthesis of new collagen, restoring elasticity and smoothness to the skin, eliminating pigmentation and wrinkles.
The scanning system allows the doctor to select different densities of exposure, produce “point” radiation, thereby individually solving various patient problems associated with age-related skin changes: eliminating both small and pronounced expression wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, nasolabial folds, successfully getting rid of pigment spots, acne marks, acne or manifestations of hyperkeratosis.
To enhance and “consolidate” the effect between fractional rejuvenation procedures, specialists inject hyaluronic acid, which has a powerful moisturizing effect and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers.Or, after eliminating wrinkles, Botox is administered to change “pathological” facial habits.
Methodology
The laser beam heats the deep layers of the epidermis and “evaporates” microparticles of “old” skin, alternating damaged and undamaged areas.The laser acts fractionally, as if through a “lattice”.The brain receives a signal about the need to restore the skin, and increased synthesis of new cells and fibroblasts begins, due to which the process of skin thickening occurs.
Course of procedures
The procedure lasts about 30 minutes, and the duration of the course depends on the age of the patient, the area being treated, the condition of the skin, the desired effect and the complexity of the problem being solved.On average, 1-3 procedures are required with an interval of 1 month.Positive changes are noticeable immediately after the 1st session, but the effect gradually increases, “accelerating” from 2-3 weeks after the course.Results of the procedure
Laser facial resurfacing allows you to achieve powerful lifting, correcting age-related deformations of the oval of the face.Some women aged 45-50 years experience so-called “gravitational ptosis” - a violation of facial contours.Fractional rejuvenation of the face, neck and décolleté restores skin tone, density, and elasticity, resulting in an effective tightening.In addition, skin resurfacing is an excellent method of combating scars and stretch marks.Fresh scars and stretch marks can be eliminated by 90%, and old scars by 60-70%.
Fraxel is also a great way to restore your hands to their former smoothness, softness, get rid of age spots and “parchment” thin, translucent skin, making it dense, velvety and elastic.
Advantages and disadvantages of the method
- High efficiency.The method allows you to achieve a pronounced long-term rejuvenating effect, gives you the opportunity to gain healthy, radiant skin, restoring its former attractiveness;
- Targeted, targeted impact, which significantly increases the effectiveness of the method, since the laser affects only the problem area, without affecting nearby areas;
- Safety.Fractional rejuvenation is not only a highly effective, but also a safe procedure.Studies show that no significant negative reactions occur;
- Painless.The procedure is usually performed without anesthesia.But for patients with an increased sensitivity threshold, pain-relieving lotions can be used.
- Immediately after the procedure, slight swelling and slight redness of the skin may appear, but they disappear within 2-3 days;
- During the week after the procedure, it is advisable to delay sunbathing and use sunscreen to avoid the appearance of age spots.
Contraindications
- Oncology;
- Chronic diseases in the acute stage;
