Fractional facial rejuvenation is a safe, minimally invasive technique for turgor recovery and rejuvenation of the facial skin surface. This technology is considered as one of the most effective alternatives to surgical intervention.
Fractional facial rejuvenation procedure
Gradually the processes of growth, division and metabolism slow down, which leads to loss of cellular activity. The fractional renewal procedure aims to restore cell regeneration and their natural functioning. This is due to laser thermal damage to a small amount of elastin and collagen fibers, which helps neutralize unusable cells and activate healthy cells.
Due to the thermal effect, internal and external rejuvenation is done, age spots, skin imperfections, stretch marks, scars and scars are eliminated. Fractional thermolysis is performed on local areas of the skin surface, since the laser beam used in the procedure is divided into many micro-beams, which form a mesh structure. Thanks to this structure, healthy skin areas are not damaged and the rejuvenation process is faster.
The result of using fractional laser is noticed after the first procedure, the skin becomes more elastic and taut, its structure improves, small vessels become invisible and pigmentation is reduced. The action of the laser stimulates the activation of the work of collagen fibers, which are considered as the natural framework of the skin, therefore, after a week, the fine wrinkles soften, the skin color is smoothed and the facial outline becomes more expressive.
The mechanism of action of laser beams, depending on the depth and characteristics of penetration, is different, therefore there are such types of fractional renewal:
- Ablative: characterized by the removal of superficial micro-areas of the skin, which contributes to the gradual tightening of damaged micro-areas;
- Non-ablative: consists of deep penetration of fractional rays without damaging the outer layers of the epidermis.
The benefits of fractional facial rejuvenation will be:
- achieving a tangible effect after the first session;
- short recovery period;
- is performed without the use of anesthesia;
- applies to all skin types;
- personal processing program;
- minimal risk of further complications and damage to the skin surface;
- stable result.
The use of fractional facial skin rejuvenation is recommended in the presence of such defects of the facial skin surface:
- pigmentation and capillaries;
- age-related changes in the skin;
- scars and scars;
- enlarged pores and acne;
- uneven skin color and texture;
- skin reduction;
- strijat;
- moles, papillomas and warts.
There are also contraindications for fractional facial rejuvenation:
- presence of inflammatory processes in the work area;
- skin infections;
- allergies;
- psoriasis;
- epilepsy;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- presence of malignant neoplasms in the laser exposure area.
The use of superficial anesthesia minimizes the formation of uncomfortable sensations during the procedure, the only thing the patient can feel is a tingling sensation in the area where he is working.
The essence of this technology is characterized by the effect of a network of fractional rays in certain areas of the skin surface, after which the old cells are eliminated, thus making room for the formation of new ones. The direction and depth of penetration of the rays is regulated using a special device, which makes it possible to provide point stimulation of the epidermis and prevents the formation of injuries and burns. The duration of the procedure is due to the volume of the area being processed, on average, the duration of the session lasts from half an hour to an hour.
Fractional facial rejuvenation has a special healing period. After the procedure, the skin rash is noticed, which finally heals within 10 days. The formation of an ichor is possible, which dries in the form of a crust, after which it disappears on its own. The speed and quality, as well as the perfection of the final result, depends on the observance of the skin care recommendations:
- do not use decorative makeup;
- wash with boiled water;
- stay out of the sun for a week;
- perform ozone therapy;
- Do not use scrubs and peels until the end of the rehabilitation period, as they may damage the fragile and new skin layer.
Fractional facial rejuvenation combines well with other skin surface correction technologies. To achieve maximum efficiency, this procedure is recommended to be performed in combination with contour plastic and Botox injections.
