In the youth, the skin of the face looks smooth, fresh and toned, despite poor health and lack of cosmetic care.Over the years, its appearance has gradually changed: first, the pleasant color disappears and the first wrinkles appear, then spider veins, age spots and deep folds.Any change indicates that the skin is aging.When regular face masks no longer help, the helpful procedures are rescued, one of them is laser rejuvenation of the face.
The advantage of fractional photothermolysis (this is its second name) is complete safety and high efficiency in removing wrinkles and other defects.This procedure is a more gentle alternative to surgery or injection.
Laser skin rejuvenation technology
What causes skin aging?There are several main reasons:
- weakening of metabolic processes;
- slow or incomplete removal of waste;
- deterioration of cell growth function;
- Reducing the transfer of nutrients to cells.
Of course, it is impossible to start the reverse process of cellular revival, but there is a chance to activate the activity of "sleepy" cells.Laser rejuvenation of the face is used for this purpose.After heat treatment, viable cells are activated and the weak die completely, inferior to 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 microns.Fractional thermolysis enhances the effects of laser treatment: instead of one beam, many microscopic rays act on the surface of the skin as if forming a net.Local zones are innovations in the use of laser technology.They help to avoid touching healthy areas of the skin, thus promoting rapid recovery.
Types of fractional laser rejuvenation
Rejuvenation and lifting arise through the use of two effective exposure methods, which differ in some characteristics of laser use.
- Impact on the entire surface of the skin
Its main function is the evaporation of the upper cells of the epidermis.The superficial, visible microscopic areas are removed, causing the effect - the skin seems to be tightened.As a result, the first sign of aging - a network of fine wrinkles - disappears.
- Exposure method without damaging the surface of the skin
It affects the deeper, the lower layers of the dermis and the epidermis, without affecting the most foremost area.In this way, it is recommended to solve the main problems related to the irreversible process of skin aging.With the help of a laser beam, a new membrane cell frame is being built, the metabolic process is activated, the production of collagen is improved and as a result the skin becomes more yard inside.
Both methods are aimed at topical treatment, that is, surrounding skin is not affected - this is necessary for rapid and complete recovery of the skin.In fact, fractional laser rejuvenation of the face can be called a thermal shock that resumes the growth of healthy cells.
Combining the two methods allows you to get maximum results due to dual healing pulse from the outside and inside.This technique is practiced in many modern clinics that have laser equipment.
The progress of the procedure and its results
The advantage of laser skin treatment is painlessness, which is an attractive factor for people with great fear of pain.The procedure itself is divided into several stages.
- Surface anesthesia, after which the patient does not experience pain, but only experiences a slight tingling in the treatment area.The anesthetic composition is applied immediately before the session.
- Conducting a session using a special device whose action is based on the use of a fraction laser.The duration of the session is within one hour, although the exact time depends on the number of treated areas.
- Application of regenerating cream on the skin.
- Consultation with a specialist in skin care.
It will take about a week for the skin to have a refreshed appearance.This is a very short period compared, for example, with surgery.
During the first two days, the swelling will remain on the face, then it will be replaced with redness, after which the skin will begin to peel off - the process of shedding dead cells begins.They will be replaced by healthy, young cells that will give the face a fresh, youthful appearance.
Indications for fractional photothermolysis
Women in their bigger part and some men are no exception, carefully take care of themselves, so not only the facial rejuvenation of the face has become popular, but also laser photothemolysis of other parts of the body.
Most often patients come if they need:
- Restoration of the skin of the whole body or some of its areas, especially visible;

Contraindications to the procedure
Each salon procedure has common and specific contraindications, laser skin treatment is no exception.
So, procedures using a fraction laser are prohibited for patients with any of the following diagnoses:
- Immunity deficiency as a result - frequent infectious diseases;
- pregnancy period, lactation;
- Dermatosis in the field of treatment;
- scars;

In addition, laser rejuvenation should be delayed if you are taking retinoids for six months before the session and if you have a fresh complexion on your body.
Every woman, regardless of age, wants to have attractive, healthy skin
There are a number of diseases that are possible for the procedure, but only after consulting a specialist, so you should consult your doctor before the session.However, if one or more contraindications are identified, it is recommended to withstand a certain period until a full recovery or beginning of a condition when the body is ready to be exposed to the laser.The procedure itself is safe, but if the disease is present, it can provoke its more development.
If it is not possible to use a laser, you should choose other methods to get rid of signs of skin aging, such as Botox or hyaluronic acid injections.
