The main indicator of a woman's youth is young and glowing skin. Quite often you can hear complaints that the skin of the face has deteriorated in just a few weeks: dryness and wrinkles have appeared. The specialist will immediately understand what is at stake. This situation can arise due to a decrease in the production of female hormones. At this stage in the life of every woman, serious hormonal changes begin, therefore, a timely competent technique for skin rejuvenation is needed.
Laser Fractional Rejuvenation
Fractional laser rejuvenation is a strategy for skin rejuvenation in a woman's difficult period.
This procedure removes skin changes without surgery.
Fractional laser is the best option instead of aggressive laser exposure, photorejuvenation, DOT therapy and chemical peeling.
Fraxel is a laser that rejuvenates the surface of the skin and its deep layers. Unlike others, fractional laser has a high stimulating ability to reproduce collagen with minimal traumatic effects on the skin of the face.
The laser beam passes through a filter that divides it into many laser beams. Due to this, a large traumatic surface is not formed on the skin, and the areas of healthy skin between the treated areas stimulate increased collagen production.
Fractional laser can be used on any area of the skin, without any risk of complications and regardless of its phototype. The laser procedure can be carried out at any time of the year, but observing the rules for protecting the skin from the sun's rays.
Patients who have undergone this procedure can start working the next day. And all this due to the competent laser settings.
Varieties of fractional lasers and their effect on facial skin
There are three main types of fractional lasers today. Their difference from each other is the degree of effect on the skin of the face.
Fraxel-fine- used for a delicate effect on the skin surface with minor changes. This procedure is like a chemical peel. These settings will not work for more mature skin.
Fraxel-storeis a laser that appeared not so long ago in the cosmetology world. After its exposure, the skin visibly rejuvenates and glows. In addition, this device can treat acne, eliminate its negative effects on the skin of the face, remove wrinkles and scars. The disadvantage of this version is the lack of impact on age spots.
Fraxel-store DUALis the latest fractional laser. It combines two types of laser radiation, allowing, within just one photothermolysis procedure, to improve the condition of the skin and eliminate persistent age spots in several sessions. With the help of this technique, an excellent result of skin rejuvenation is achieved in women of different ages.
Who is this procedure suitable for? Usually it is performed on women of all ages to rejuvenate the skin of the face, décolleté, neck and body.
This procedure should be carried out only after consulting a specialist. The laser device is adjusted depending on the individual patient's problem.
Problems that can be solved with a laser machine
Fraxel has two main types of laser radiation. With it, you can solve problems associated with pigmentation, skin surface imperfections and wrinkles. Removal of stretch marks with a fractional laser is also actively used.
A well-designed program in a short time allows:
- Remove mimic wrinkles on the neck, face and décolleté;
- Get rid of deep wrinkles and thicken the thin skin on the eyes;
- Smooth the skin surface;
- Increase the elasticity and firmness of the facial skin;
- To restore the former density of the skin on the hands;
- Remove age spots and melasma.
Treatment of many defects can be achieved using Fraxel, for example, the treatment of scars with a fractional laser is now possible.
Fractional laser action triggers skin rejuvenation processes. This laser destroys old cells, gradually replacing them with cells of young collagen. Due to the action of the fractional laser, biochemical and physiological processes in the skin, characteristic of new cells, are formed. This process leads to an increased formation of fibers, which contribute to an increase in the elasticity and firmness of the skin.
This procedure has certain contraindications.
But there are much fewer of them, unlike other laser systems.
This is due to the gentle and effective action on the skin.
Below we describe temporary contraindications to the laser procedure:
- Increased body temperature;
- Herpes;
- Allergic and inflammatory diseases on the face;
- Lactation and pregnancy;
- The first two days after mesotherapy and biorevitalization;
- The first two weeks after the injection of filler gels and Botox.
Stages and possible complications
After consulting a specialist, you can safely carry out laser thermolysis. Unpleasant sensations during the procedure can be eliminated with an anesthetic cream.
During the procedure, the skin surface is evenly treated. Fractional laser thermolysis lasts about 10 minutes and is accompanied by minimal pain.
After the procedure, a special serum with a high content of peptides is applied to the face to reduce redness. These preparations provide the skin with the necessary amount of collagen.
How to care for skin after fractional laser resurfacing?
To achieve the maximum effect of this procedure, you must strictly follow the doctor's recommendations. It is important to do them all during the first days after the procedure.
After the procedure, you can also use a serum with a high content of trace elements that regenerate the skin of the face and ensure optimal processes for collagen production. Peels and face scrubs cannot be used for one week.
It is also necessary to refrain from exposure to sunlight and use decorative cosmetics with sun protection.
Also refrain from injecting salon treatments.
In general, the skin will need a two-week rest. Subject to the recommendations of the cosmetologist after the procedure and replacing home cosmetics with restorative ones, you will improve the result of the laser procedure.
Complications after fractional laser
Possible complications after a fractional laser can arise only due to the incompetence of the doctor performing this procedure. But the patient is fully responsible for the recovery period. If you do not follow the recommendations for facial care, then there will be some difficulties.
The laser procedure is followed by a recovery period, which may be accompanied by:
- Swelling that goes away in a few hours;
- Peeling that disappears in a few days.
For faster recovery after the procedure, use a serum with a high content of moisturizing components.
The number of procedures for skin rejuvenation and their cost
Skin rejuvenation sessions are selected based on individual age-related changes, client's wishes and age. For example, you can eliminate superficial skin pigmentation, even out skin color and refresh your face with one fractional thermolysis procedure.
After one procedure, about 20% of the skin will be renewed. Therefore, for high-quality and complete skin rejuvenation, it is necessary to undergo5 procedures per month.
The duration of the result after the procedure is influenced by many factors related to the individual parameters of the skin, the age of the patient, as well as the qualifications of the specialist performing the procedure.
It should be noted that the peculiarity of this procedure is that the result will depend on what laser parameters are set by the doctor.
In 5 procedures, the skin of the face will look several years younger. The result of laser rejuvenation by Fraxel will last for a long time.
Proper skin care at home can preserve the effect of the procedure for a long time. Using cosmetics with a high content of ingredients can increase the result of professional cosmetic procedures and keep the skin young for a long time.
For a fractional laser, the price depends on a number of factors. Such as the nature of cosmetic imperfections, zones and areas of treatment.
The final price of the course is calculated individually for each client after consulting a specialist.
