Fractional rejuvenation involves the use of a laser. This is a highly complex procedure that solves a wide range of skin problems that inevitably arise as the body ages. It requires high professionalism from the specialist conducting it. Only a specialist with medical education and completed courses on working with laser equipment has the right to conduct laser rejuvenation. Performing the procedure in a questionable clinic with an unqualified cosmetologist, you can get a negative effect instead of the desired rejuvenation.
Fractional laser treatment is a worthy option for those looking for ways to rejuvenate the face without surgery. By the way, this method is used not only on the face, but also on the body. In particular, using a laser, it is possible to make scars and striae invisible. So laser rejuvenation will be interesting for those who have long been interested in the problem of how to remove stretch marks on the body.
Varieties of fractional laser rejuvenation
Fractional laser sends not one beam, but many microscopic beams, which allows you to act on the skin more delicately and delicately.
Fractional laser rejuvenation is divided into two types:
- The first type of fractional rejuvenation is often called laser resurfacing. During such resurfacing, the laser removes very small areas of the upper layer of the skin, located at a certain distance from each other. This activates the regenerative processes in the skin. This procedure uses a carbon dioxide laser.
- The second type of fractional rejuvenation is the effect of the finest rays on the skin areas that are at a strictly specified depth. At the same time, the surface of the skin is not subject to injury, and in the deep layers of the skin, the production of collagen is activated and the areas of the skin removed by the laser are filled with new cells.
Different clinics use different types of lasers, but the principle of the laser method of rejuvenation is the same in all cases: the infliction of controlled damage to the skin, stimulating it to active recovery and renewal.
In each specific case, the doctor sees which laser technique will be most appropriate. Before each procedure, the laser is adjusted individually for each patient.
Skin care after fractional skin rejuvenation
The doctor who performed the procedure will tell you how to care for your skin after laser rejuvenation. The choice of cosmetic products depends on the type of skin, its individual characteristics, as well as the tasks and scale of the procedure performed.
On days 2-3 after the session, a crust forms on the skin, which is rejected within 3-4 days. At this time, it is necessary to use the cream recommended by the doctor. Then, for 1-2 months, it is necessary to apply a good sunscreen to the skin before each going outside, and use a nourishing regenerating cream at night.
Importantly, laser rejuvenation not only corrects existing age-related changes, but also further slows down the aging process itself, triggering the mechanism of skin cell renewal.
Who is fractional rejuvenation suitable for and with which procedures it is combined
The procedure is always performed only after prior consultation with a specialist. With strongly pronounced age-related changes, laser resurfacing will be most expedient, and not laser rejuvenation. In some cases, it is impossible to do without plastic surgery at all: blepharoplasty, endoscopic face lifting or the introduction of threads for lifting. But here, too, hardware techniques, in particular, laser rejuvenation, will help to enhance and maintain the effect.
Plasmolifting and mesotherapy are perfectly combined with laser techniques, including biorevitalization with hyaluronic acid.
The laser rejuvenation procedure is not suitable for pregnant and lactating women, people suffering from cancer, diabetes, severe hypertension, psoriasis and dermatoses. Herpetic rashes and inflammatory processes in the affected area are also a contraindication to the procedure. Laser rejuvenation is not recommended for people with keloid scarring or family history of vitiligo.
