Plastic surgery gives way to new inventions of cosmetology. One of the most successful alternatives to plastic was fractionalLaser rejuvenation of the skin of the face- This is the effect on the micro-zones of the skin, regenerating the growth of healthy cells. Many Hollywood stars took advantage of it, while the service is quite accessible to mere mortals.
The essence of laser rejuvenation
The usual natural process of age -related changes is most clearly visible on the face. Mimica, chewing, speech, as well as external factors subject to time the face tests. Cells stop working, die, the synthesis of collagen and elastin ceases. The appearance plays a huge role in the modern world, so the task of maintaining youth, health of the skin of the face is one of the most important.
The latest developments of specialists in the field of rejuvenation of skin cells led to a breakthrough - the emergence of a method of fractional laser rejuvenation. Unlike laser grinding, which leads to the removal of an entire layer of the epidermis, Fractus lasers have a selective action. Moreover, their effect has practically no side effects, and the rehabilitation period is very short - up to 7 days. This is due to minimal skin lesions, about 20 % of the upper layer.
The essence of laser technology- the fractional effect of the laser on the skin cells with the help of rays that form a laser lattice. Laser radiation, consisting of many micro-rays, has an evaporating effect on the microscopic zones of the skin. Each of the finest rays creates a recess, fraction, to a given depth in the skin. The fractions may have the shape of a cone or column. A uniform alternation of worked out zones with untouched are created. The areas of untouched skin have a healing effect on damaged areas. When they tighten, they create a lifting effect.
On the property of regeneration, skin renewal is based. The processes occurring in the skin during the session:
- Awakening of cells due to thermal shock;
- the death of patients and poorly functioning cells;
- Visible cells are intensively divided, restoring micro-zones damaged by a laser;
- The synthesis of elastin and collagen is activated, leading to the restoration of the structure of the dermis and rejuvenation of the skin.
The process of carrying out the procedure
The session is held without deep anesthesia. The process begins with the use of a special analgesic gel in areas of special sensitivity. After 20 minutes, laser skin treatment begins, which lasts up to an hour. The exact duration of the procedure depends on the number and area of the processed areas. The first two hours after the session, swelling, soreness and redness of the face are observed. After 2 days, the condition is normalized.
Crusts may appear on the skin, which persist from 3 to 10 days, depending on the depth of the exposure. To accelerate the healing process, external agents with Dexpanthenol content are used. During this period, in the process of peeling, crusts go. After three weeks, a repeated procedure is assigned.
During the expectation of the next laser skin treatment, a cream with hyaluronic acid is used. 3-4 sessions are held standardly.Three months after the last procedure, you can observe the maximum rejuvenation effect. Then it is advisable to spend one session once a year for longer support of the result.
Varieties of the procedure
Laser rejuvenation of the skin of the face is carried out by two methods, depending on the depth and nature of the penetration of the laser beam into the skin structure:
- Ablative photothermolysis. The point laser evaporates the upper cells of the epidermis, penetrating to a depth of 1 to 1. 5 mm. Superficial micro-membranes are removed, the skin is pulled. Suitable for the first signs of aging.
- Non -ablative photothermolysis. It has an effect directly on the deep structure of the skin, penetrating deep into 3-5 mm, without affecting the stratum corneum. A laser beam builds a new membrane cage frame. The skin is updated from the inside due to the activation of metabolic processes and the production of collagen. Solves the problem of irreversible skin aging.
The strongest effect is achieved as a result of harmonious combination of two methods. The skin cells receive the maximum healing impulse from the outside and inside.
Indications and contraindications
Fractional rejuvenation using a laser is successfully used in the fight against many skin problems:

Pros and cons
The advantages of fractional laser rejuvenation have a lot:
- The skin of the face, eye zone, neck, neckline is subject to processing.
- Painlessness - instead of anesthesia, there are enough local anesthesia of particularly sensitive zones.

The contours of the face are pulled by improving the tone of the dermis. Traces of acne disappear, wrinkles disappear. The complexion acquires an even and healthy shade.The procedure has a cumulative property. Even one session activates the natural processes of collagen and elastin synthesis in the inner layers of the dermis.
Cons of the procedureThey consist in the ban on holding it to children and during pregnancy. The presence of skin diseases or high sensitivity of the skin is also a limitation for the use of laser rejuvenation.
