Modern hardware cosmetology methods allow you to quickly and easily look 5-6 years younger without resorting to plastic surgery. Among the popular techniques, fractional laser rejuvenation stands out. Helps restore skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, remove age-related pigmentation. The method gives effect thanks to the light radiation of different spectrum and power.
Features of the procedure
Laser fractional skin rejuvenation is a non-surgical technology that allows millions of women to find fresh, firm skin on their face, neck and décolleté. With the help of photothermolysis, the keratinized layers of the dermis are removed. As a result, the skin relief is leveled, fine wrinkles are smoothed and the oval is restored. In the office of medical cosmetologists, specialists return the charm of youth with the help of an innovative device. We will select the optimal set of procedures for you and ensure the rejuvenation of all areas that concern you.
The effectiveness of the technology is based on a profound effect on the skin cells. The laser beams form the thinnest lattice and penetrate to a certain depth. They heat some cells of the dermis to 70-80 ° C, leaving the nearby areas intact. Untreated areas are firmed to restore skin integrity and create a lasting lifting effect.
Laser rejuvenation can be:
superficial (ablative) |
deep |
The method copes well with the first signs of aging. The beam affects the cells of the epidermis to a depth of not more than 1. 5 mm. |
The radiation penetrates 5 mm. Under its influence, the production of collagen and elastin is accelerated, due to which the frame of the membrane is updated. |
Indications for the procedure
Fractional laser resurfacing is recommended if you have:
- pronounced pores;
- scars, scars, striae;
- blackheads;
- gravitational ptosis (the appearance of wrinkles, drooping of the eyelids and corners of the lips, cheeks);
- decrease in skin elasticity and turgor;
- hyper- or parakeratosis (excessive growth of the epidermis and the appearance of a granular effect).
The fractional laser rejuvenation course allows you to achieve impressive results:
- tighten the skin on the problem areas of the face and body;

In contrast to the method of point cauterization of the skin on problem areas, after which the burn scabs remain for a long time, fractional rejuvenation does not leave such defects due to the tuning of the equipment. The likelihood of hyperpigmentation and scarring of the skin after the procedure is minimized. |

A fractional laser rejuvenation session can last from a few minutes to 1 hour. The exact time is determined by the amount of work and the area of rejuvenation. Immediately after the session, swelling and redness appear on the skin. They can be kept for up to 2 days. Then the treatment area is covered with scabs, which disappear after 3-10 days.

It is advisable to refuse to visit saunas, swimming pools and baths for 10 days. You can sunbathe in the solarium no earlier than 3 months after the end of the course of procedures. During this time, areas that have undergone photothermolysis must be protected from the sun with products with an SPF level of 30 units or more. Otherwise, the risk of hyperpigmentation increases.
To accelerate cell regeneration and eliminate the feeling of tightness and dryness, apply a healing cream to the skin for the first two days at intervals of 4-5 hours.
For further deep hydration of the cells, 2 weeks after photothermolysis, a biorevitalization procedure can be performed.
The use of scrubs and peels is not allowed within 10 days of the session. This can reduce the protective properties of the skin and slow down the regeneration processes.
After 10-14 days, moisturizing collagen masks can be applied.
Do not apply the patch to damaged areas of the skin. It slows down the recovery process and can cause discomfort.
When choosing skin care products, pay attention to their composition. They must not contain glycolic acids and retinol. If these substances are present, it will be possible to use a cosmetic product only 2 weeks after photothermolysis and 2 weeks before the next session.
