Aesthetic defects and age-related skin changes can cause serious moral discomfort. Especially when it comes to women who want to remain attractive and desirable for as long as possible. And despite the fact that scientists have not been able to reveal the secret of "eternal youth", there is still some progress. In particular, we are talking about non-ablative fractional resurfacing, a non-surgical correction technique that involves exposure to tissue using a laser.
Stages of the non-ablative rejuvenation procedure.
The technique is based on the conversion of light energy into heat. Penetrating under the skin, the laser beam heats the tissues to 45-86 ° C, causing partial evaporation of the liquid in a volume that stimulates natural metabolic and biochemical reactions in the cellular and extracellular matrix of the skin. In addition, in the processing areas, the process of neocolagenesis begins, the formation of new collagen fibers, which is responsible for the elasticity and firmness of the skin. In addition, the radiation is absorbed by the chromophores in the skin and, bypassing the epidermis, penetrates the dermis, providing an additional antibacterial effect.
The non-ablative laser resurfacing procedure is absolutely painless, performed without anesthesia, and does not cause pain or discomfort. In addition, it is often used as the main method of correcting age-related changes in especially sensitive areas of the skin: on the neck, around the eyes, etc. To achieve a visible effect, 3-4 sessions with 2-3 day intervals are enough. In the period between procedures, to consolidate the positive results, you must comply with the recommendations expressed by the specialist.
