Fractional facial rejuvenation is a safe, minimally invasive technique used to restore and rejuvenate the turgor of the skin surface of the face. This technology is considered to be one of the most effective alternatives to surgery.
Fractional Facial Rejuvenation Procedure
Gradually the processes of growth, division and metabolism slow down, which leads to a loss of cell activity. The fractional rejuvenation process aims to restore cell regeneration and their natural function. This is due to the laser's thermal damage to a small amount of elastin and collagen fibers, which help neutralize unusable cells and activate healthy cells.
Due to the thermal effect, internal and external rejuvenation takes place, age spots, skin blemishes, stretch marks, scars and scars are removed. Fractional thermolysis is carried out on local areas of the skin surface, as the laser beam used in the process is divided into many microbeams that form a mesh structure. Thanks to this structure, healthy areas of the skin are not injured and the renewal process is faster.
The result of using the fractionated laser is noticeable after the first procedure, the skin becomes more elastic and firmer, its texture improves, small vessels become invisible and pigmentation decreases. The effect of the laser promotes the activation of the work of collagen fibers, which are considered to be the natural framework of the skin. After a week, fine wrinkles are smoothed, the skin tone is evened out and the outline of the face becomes more expressive.
The mechanism of action of laser beams is different depending on the depth and properties of the penetration, therefore there are such types of fractional rejuvenation:
- ablative: characterized by the removal of superficial micro-areas of the skin, which contributes to the gradual tightening of damaged micro-zones;
- Non-ablative: It consists in a deep penetration of partial rays without damaging the outer layers of the epidermis.
The advantages of fractional facial rejuvenation are:
- achieves a noticeable 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;
- long lasting result.
The use of fractional facial skin rejuvenation is recommended if there are such defects on the skin surface of the face:
- 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;
- Birthmarks, papillomas and warts.
There are also contraindications for fractional facial rejuvenation:
- the presence of inflammatory processes in the area that is being worked on;
- skin infections;
- allergies;
- psoriasis;
- epilepsy;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- Presence of malignant neoplasms in the area of laser exposure.
The use of surface anesthesia minimizes discomfort during the procedure. The only thing the patient can feel is a slight tingling sensation in the area being worked on.
The essence of this technology is characterized by the action of a grid of fractionated rays on certain areas of the skin surface, after which old cells are eliminated, thus creating space for the formation of new cells. The direction and depth of penetration of the rays is adjusted using a special device, which makes it possible to stimulate the epidermis at points and prevent the formation of injuries and burns. The duration of the procedure depends on the volume of the area to be processed. The session lasts an average of half an hour to an hour.
Fractional facial rejuvenation has a special recovery phase. After the procedure is completed, redness of the skin is observed, which eventually heals within 10 days. The formation of an ichor is possible, which dries out in the form of a crust and then disappears by itself. Speed and quality as well as the correctness of the final result depend on compliance with the recommendations for skin care:
- does not use decorative cosmetics; wash
- with boiled water;
- not being in the sun for a week;
- perform ozone therapy;
- Use peelings and peelings only at the end of the rehabilitation phase, as these can damage the sensitive and young skin layer.
Fractional facial rejuvenation can be easily combined with other technologies for correcting the surface of the skin. For maximum efficiency, it is recommended that this procedure be performed in combination with contour plastics and botox injections.
