Fractional facial rejuvenation is a safe, minimally invasive technique to restore and rejuvenate the turgor of the facial skin surface. This technology is considered one of the most effective alternatives to surgery.
Fractional Facial Rejuvenation Procedure
Gradually, growth, division, and metabolism slow down, leading to loss of cell activity. The fractional rejuvenation procedure aims to restore cell renewal and natural activity. This is due to the laser thermal damage of small amounts of elastin and collagen fibers, which helps to neutralize unusable cells and activate healthy cells.
Due to the thermal effect, internal and external rejuvenation occurs, pigmentation spots, skin imperfections, stretch marks, scars and scars are removed. Fractional thermolysis is performed on local areas of the skin surface because the laser beam used in the procedure is divided into many micro-beams that form a mesh structure. Thanks to this structure, healthy skin areas are not injured and the renewal process is faster.
The use of fractional lasers is noticeable after the first procedure, the skin becomes more elastic and stretched, the texture improves, small veins become invisible and pigmentation is reduced. The action of the laser stimulates the activation of the collagen fibers, which are considered the natural framework of the skin, so after a week, fine wrinkles are corrected, the skin color is evened out and the contour of the face becomes more expressive.
Depending on the depth and penetration properties, the mechanism of action of laser beams is different, so there are such types of fraction rejuvenation:
- Ablative: characterized by the removal of superficial micro-areas of the skin, which helps to gradually compress the damaged micro-zones;
- Non-ablative: consists of deep penetration of fractional rays without damaging the outer layers of the epidermis.
The benefits of fractional facial rejuvenation are:
- to get a material effect after the first session;
- short recovery time;
- is performed without anesthesia;
- applies to all skin types;
- individual work program;
- minimal risk of additional complications and damage to the skin surface;
- long-term result.
In case of such defects on the surface of the facial skin, the use of facial rejuvenation of the facial skin is recommended:
- pigmentation and capillaries;
- age-related changes in the skin;
- scars;
- enlarged pores and pimples;
- uneven skin color and texture;
- sagging skin;
- stretch marks;
- moles, papillomas and warts.
There are also contraindications for fractional facial rejuvenation:
- presence of inflammatory processes in the treated area;
- skin infections;
- allergy;
- psoriasis;
- epilepsy;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- Presence of malignant neoplasms in the laser area.
The application of superficial anesthesia minimizes the formation of unpleasant sensations during the procedure, the only thing the patient can feel is a slight tingling sensation in the treated area.
The essence of this technology is characterized by the effect of a grid of fractional rays on certain areas of the skin surface, after which the old cells are eliminated and new ones are formed. The direction and depth of penetration of the rays is regulated by a special device, which provides point stimulation of the epidermis and prevents the formation of injuries and burns. The duration of the procedure depends on the size of the area being worked, with an average session duration of half an hour to an hour.
Fractional facial rejuvenation has a special recovery period. After the procedure, redness of the skin is observed, and as a result, it heals within 10 days. Perhaps the formation of a crust that dries in the form of a crust, then disappears by itself. Speed and quality, as well as the perfection of the end result, depends on following the recommendations for skin care:
- Do not use decorative cosmetics;
- Rinse with boiled water;
- Stay out of the sun for a week;
- conduct ozone therapy;
- Do not use scrubs and peels until the end of the rehabilitation period, as it can damage the fragile and young skin.
Fractional facial rejuvenation combines well with other skin surface smoothing technologies. For maximum effectiveness, it is recommended that this procedure be performed in conjunction with contouring and Botox injections.
