In adolescence, despite the state of health and lack of cosmetic care, the skin of the face looks smooth, fresh and tight. Over the years, its appearance gradually changes: at first a pleasant color disappears and the first wrinkles appear, then spider veins, age spots and deep wrinkles. Any change indicates that the skin is aging. When traditional face masks no longer work, more powerful treatments, including laser facial rejuvenation.
, will helpThe advantage of fractional photothermolysis (this is the second name) is complete safety and high efficiency in eliminating wrinkles and other defects. This procedure is a gentler alternative to surgery or injection.
Laser skin rejuvenation technology
What causes skin aging? There are several main reasons:
- weakening of metabolic processes;
- delayed or incomplete waste disposal;
- Impairment of cell growth function;
- Reduction of nutrient transfer to cells.
Of course it is impossible to start the reverse process of cell regeneration, but there is a possibility to activate the activity of "sleeping" cells. For this purpose, a laser facial rejuvenation is used. After the heat treatment, viable cells are activated and the weak ones die completely, creating stronger samples. In a word, the cellular composition of the skin is renewed.
The quality and speed of the recovery process depends on the diameter of the laser beam. Its thickness should be less than 200 micrometers. Fractional thermolysis has improved the effect of laser treatment: instead of a single beam, many microscopic rays act on the surface of the skin as if they were forming a network. Local zones are innovations in the application of laser technology. They help avoid touching healthy areas of the skin and thus contribute to early recovery.
Types of fractional laser tapering
Rejuvenation and elevation are done by using two effective exposure methods that differ in some properties of laser use.
- Treatment of the entire skin surface
Its main function is to vaporize the upper cells of the epidermis. Superficial, visible microscopic areas are removed, resulting in a lifting effect - the skin appears to tighten. As a result, the first sign of aging disappears - a network of fine folds.
- Exposure method without damaging the skin surface
It works on the deeper, lower layers of the dermis and epidermis without affecting the topmost area. In this way, it is recommended to solve deep-seated problems related to the irreversible process of skin aging. With the help of a laser beam, a new membrane structure of the cell is built up, the metabolism is activated, the collagen production is improved, making the skin look younger from the inside.
Both methods are aimed at local treatment, ie the skin areas are not affected - this is necessary for quick and complete skin restoration. In fact, fractional laser facial rejuvenation can be called a heat shock that renews the growth of healthy cells.
By combining both methods, you can achieve maximum results due to the double healing impulse from outside and inside. This technique is practiced in many modern clinics with laser devices.
Process progress and results
The advantage of laser skin treatment is the painlessness, which is an attractive factor for people with a high fear of pain. The process itself is divided into several stages.
- Surface anesthesia in which the patient no longer feels any pain, but only feels a slight tingling sensation in the treatment area. The anesthetic composition is applied immediately before the session.
- Conducting a session with a special device based on the use of a fractional laser. The duration of the session is within an hour, although the exact time depends on the number of zones treated.
- Apply a revitalizing cream to the skin.
- Consultation with a skin care specialist
It takes about a week for the skin to take on an updated look. This is a relatively short period of time compared to an operation, for example.
The swelling remains on the face for the first two days, then it turns into redness. After that, the skin begins to peel off - the process of releasing dead cells is started. They are replaced by healthy, young cells that give the face a fresh, youthful look.
Indications for fractional photothermolysis
Most women, and some men too, are no exception and take good care of themselves. Therefore, not only has fractional facial rejuvenation become popular, but laser photothermolysis of other parts of the body as well.
Most often patients turn to:
- Restoration of the skin of the entire body or some of its areas, especially visible;
- Removal of capillary networks and pigmentation;
- pore reduction;
- Removal of scars, stretch marks, scars;
- skin lightening;
- Smoothing or removing facial wrinkles;
- skin rejuvenation of hands, chest, neck;
- Update, lift skin structure.
Contraindications to the
procedureEvery salon procedure has general and specific contraindications. Laser treatment of facial skin is no exception.
Therefore, procedures with a fractional laser are prohibited for patients with one of the following diagnoses:
- Immunodeficiency as a consequence - frequent infectious diseases;
- pregnancy period, lactation period;
- Dermatosis in the treatment area;
- scars;
- cancer;
- chronic blood diseases, diabetes mellitus;
- Herpes
In addition, laser rejuvenation should be postponed if you have been on retinoids for six months prior to the session and if your body is a fresh tan.
Every woman, regardless of age, wants attractive, healthy skin
haveThere are a number of diseases for which the procedure is possible, but only after consulting a specialist. Therefore, it is necessary to consult your doctor before the session. However, if one or more contraindications are found, it is recommended that a certain amount of time be allowed to fully recover or until the onset of a state in which the body is ready for the laser. The procedure itself is safe, but if there is a disease, it can provoke its further development.
If you cannot use a laser, consider other methods of removing the signs of aging, such as: B. Injections of botox or hyaluronic acid.
