Fractional rejuvenation involves the use of a laser. This is a very complex procedure that solves a wide range of skin problems that inevitably arise as the body ages. It requires high professionalism on the part of the specialist who performs it. Only a specialist with medical education and complete courses on how to work with laser equipment has the right to perform laser resurfacing. By 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 good 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 stretch marks invisible. So laser resurfacing will be interesting for those who have long been interested in the problem of how to remove stretch marks on the body.
Fractional laser resurfacing varieties
The fractional laser does not send one beam, but many microscopic rays, allowing it to act on the skin in a more delicate and delicate way.
Fractional laser resurfacing is divided into two types:
- The first type of fractional resurfacing is often called laser resurfacing. During such rejuvenation, 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 areas of the skin that are at a strictly specified depth. At the same time, the surface of the skin is not exposed to injury, and in the deep layers of the skin, collagen production 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 resurfacing method is the same in all cases: inflict controlled damage to the skin, stimulating it to active recovery and renewal.
In each specific case, the doctor sees which laser technique will be the most appropriate. Before each procedure, the laser is adjusted individually for each patient.
Skin care after partial skin rejuvenation
The doctor who performed the procedure will tell you how to care for your skin after laser resurfacing. 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.
Within 2-3 days after the session, a scab forms on the skin, which is rejected in 3-4 days. At this time, you need to use the cream recommended by the doctor. Then, for 1-2 months, it is necessary to apply a good sunscreen on the skin before each trip outside, and use a regenerating nourishing cream at night.
Importantly, laser resurfacing not only corrects existing age-related changes, but also further slows down the aging process itself, which activates the renewal mechanism of skin cells.
For whom is fractional rejuvenation suitable and with what procedures is it combined
The procedure is always performed only after prior consultation with a specialist. With very pronounced age-related changes, laser resurfacing will be the most desirable, and not laser resurfacing. In some cases, it is impossible to do without plastic surgery at all: blepharoplasty, endoscopic face lift or the introduction of threads for lifting. But here too, hardware techniques, in particular laser resurfacing, will help to enhance and maintain the effect.
Plasmolifting and mesotherapy are perfectly combined with laser techniques, including biorevitalization with hyaluronic acid.
The laser resurfacing procedure is not suitable for pregnant and lactating women, people suffering from cancer, diabetes, severe hypertension, psoriasis and dermatosis. Herpetic eruptions and inflammatory processes in the affected area are also a contraindication for the procedure. Laser resurfacing is not recommended for people with keloid scars or a family history of vitiligo.
