Factional facial rejuvenation is a safe, minimally invasive technique for restoring and rejuvenating facial skin turgor. This technology is considered one of the most effective alternatives to surgery.
Factional facial rejuvenation procedure
The processes of growth, division and metabolism are gradually slowed down, leading to a loss of cellular activity. The fractional rejuvenation process is aimed at restoring cell regeneration and their natural functioning. This is due to the laser thermal damage of a small amount 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, age spots, skin defects, stretch marks, scars and scars are removed. Fractional thermolysis is performed on local surfaces of the skin surface, since the laser beam used in the process is divided into many micro beams that make up the network structure. Thanks to this structure, healthy areas of the skin are not injured and the recovery process is faster.
The result of using a fractional laser is noticeable after the first procedure, the skin becomes more elastic and taut, the texture improves, small veins become invisible and pigmentation is reduced. The action of the laser enhances the activation of collagen fibers, which are considered the natural framework of the skin, so after a week the fine lines are smoothed out, the skin color is evened out and the contours of the face become more expressive.
The mechanism of action of laser beams is different, depending on the depth and characteristics of penetration, so 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: 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;
- long lasting result.
The use of fractional rejuvenation of facial skin is recommended in case of such defects on the surface of facial skin:
- pigmentation and capillaries;
- age changes on the skin;
- scars and scars;
- enlarged pores and acne;
- 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 area being worked on;
- skin infections;
- allergies; psoriasis;
- epilepsy;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- presence of malignant neoplasms in the area of laser exposure.
Using superficial anesthesia minimizes the creation of discomfort during the procedure, the only thing the patient can feel is a slight tingling in the area being worked on.
The essence of this technology is characterized by the effect of a network of fractional rays on certain areas of the skin surface, after which the old cells are removed, thus creating space for the creation of new ones. The direction and depth of air penetration are adjusted using special devices that allow point stimulation of the epidermis and prevent the formation of injuries and burns. The duration of the procedure is due to the volume of the area being treated, on average the duration of the session lasts from half an hour to an hour.
Factional facial rejuvenation has a special recovery period. Upon completion of the procedure, redness of the skin is noticed, which finally heals within 10 days. Perhaps the formation of ichor, which dries in the form of bark, after which it disappears on its own. Speed and quality, as well as the impeccability of the final result, depend on compliance with skin care recommendations:
- do not use decorative cosmetics;
- wash with boiled water;
- don't stick to the sun for a week;
- conduct ozone therapy;
- Do not use peels and peels until the end of the rehabilitation period, because they can damage the fragile and young layer of the skin.
Fractional facial rejuvenation combines well with other skin surface correction technologies. In order to achieve maximum efficiency, it is recommended to perform this procedure in combination with contour plastic and Botox injections.
