Fraxel is a recently appeared procedure to rejuvenate the skin of the face, using a special device.This procedure is carried out using a laser, which acts on the basis of fractional photothermolysis.
This technology affects the skin, damaging its fabric.Because of this, the self -registration process is launched.All due to the fact that cells begin to produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
A characteristic of technology
The main characteristic of technology is the care of its impact and performance.It is also worth noting that due to the separation of the laser beam in smaller rays, the precision of the exposure increases significantly.
Types of laser fractional photothermiasis
Field photothermolysis is divided into 2 types:
- Ablative.The length of its wave is 2,940 nm.This type of radiation is absorbed by water, so the beam affects all skin levels.The teacher can regulate the depth of penetration, acting on a certain layer, for the maximum effect.
- Non -gluto.The wavelength is adjustable from 1,320 to 1,540 nm.This type of radiation affects deep skin structures, but does not affect the upper layers.Therefore, it is produced by stimulating elastin and collagen production, and cell exchange improves significantly.Because of this, the skin is tone, their lethargy and sagging are removed.
The restoration of the skin occurs faster when it is not exposed to non-bate.But after ablative, peeling and redness are possible.However, both types have high efficiency.
Fraksel laser varieties
There are several varieties of Fraxel laser, each of which has its own characteristics.
Fraxel
It is the most common device.The length of its wave is 1,550 Nm, and the depth of the penetration can be adjusted from 0.4 to 1.4 mm.It helps eliminate age -related pigment spots, acne, solar burns, acne traces, and also fights with a photographic vessel of the skin.
Erby laser
This is a laser that has a wavelength of 1,440 nm.Of all the models presented, it is the most gentle, therefore, it is used in delicate areas of the face and body.It is also advisable to use it for people with thin and sensitive skin.
This model is allowed even in the mammary glands and the skin of the eyelids.And the recovery period after use is minimal.
Re Store Dual
The model is more advanced, since it combines 2 lasers and has a different wavelength:
- Erbiye - 1,550 nm;
- Tulium - 1 927 Nm.
This model is used to eliminate scars and scars, deep and small wrinkles, eliminate pigmentation and post -acne elimination.
Fix
Of all the models presented is the most aggressive.Therefore, deep layers of the epidermis are treated.This device can even eliminate deep wrinkles on the face and neck.He also faces scars and scars.
The benefits or laser damage
Advanced technology allows you to uniformly affect the necessary skin areas.And thanks to the exposure of the savings and a small diameter of the prosecuted area (70 - 150 mn), there are no scars.Regeneration takes place in the shortest possible time and rarely has more than a day.
The skin barrier function does not suffer from radiation, so the infection is completely excluded.The laser does not affect internal organs, acting exclusively on the skin.
Therefore, we can say that the influence of the laser brings significantly more benefits than damage.
Indication
The laser has a very extensive use.The testimony of procedures with Fraxel are:
- age -related pigmentation;
- acne;
- Photo colleague of the skin;
- tanned;
- Acne traces;
- small and deep wrinkles;
- scars and scars;
- skin pigmentation;

- stretch marks;
- fall, withered of the skin, reduced tone;
- Wide pores.
The device not only rejuvenates the skin, but also eliminates many aesthetic problems.
Contraindications
However, there are a number of contraindications in which the realization of procedures with Fraxel is strictly prohibited:
- cancer neoplasms (both benign and malignant);
- hormonal disorders;
- acute form of infectious diseases;
- inflammation in the manipulation zone;
- dermatological diseases;
- Pathology of blood vessels and heart;
- epilepsy;
- tendency to several bleeding;
- autoimmune diseases;
- pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- Problems with blood coagulation.
In addition, do not perform the procedure during menstrual discharge, although this is more a recommendation than a contraindication.
How is the procedure going?
Before the start of the procedure, the teacher visually evaluates the condition of the patient's skin, determines the exposure methods, the depth of penetration of the laser rays.It also determines how many sessions may be necessary to eliminate a particular problem.
The procedure itself is carried out in several stages:
- Using a special composition, the skin is cleaned and joins.
- The lidocaine ointment with lidocaine is applied to the areas that will be processed.Wait 40 minutes.This will avoid pain.
- The ointment hit, and the skin itself is lubricated with a lubricant.This allows the device to easily slide on the skin surface.
- Then the work is carried out with the device itself.Initially, a face with a small nozzle (sequence: front, cheeks, chin).After a larger nozzle, the neck and/or the body are treated.
- The eyelid area is last treated, with a narrow nozzle.
- After completing the laser, the lubricant removes from the skin.
General recommendations before the procedure
Before the procedure, it is important to consult your doctor and make sure there are no contraindications for this type of exposure.In a few days, it is advisable to start taking antiin-minpes medications to exclude inflammation.
A preliminary consultation with a cosmetologist teacher who will carry out the procedure will not be superfluous.It is likely to give additional recommendations.
Consequences and possible complications
The normal consequences of the procedure include:
- itching and burning (insignificant);
- skin redness (passes in 5-7 days);
- edema;
- dryness;
- discomfort;
- Minor pain.
However, despite the soft effect of Fraxel, in rare cases, complications are still possible.These include:
- Pygmentation after inflammation has dropped;
- significant edema;
- erosion;
- Acne exacerbation;
- increase in skin sensitivity;
- subcutaneous bleeding;
- Significant network that does not pass for a long time (more than 7 days after the procedure).
The advantages of Fraxel Laser
The main advantages of such exposure to laser include:
- The possibility of exposure to different areas of the skin (even in the mammary glands and the eyelids area).
- The possibility of punctual effect on the skin, which affects only those areas that must be processed by a laser.
- The ability to renew the skin at the cellular level, activating the internal resources of the body.
Expected result
After several Fraxel sessions, the skin must be healthier, pores are reduced, wrinkles and pigmentation are completely eliminated.In the case of scars and scars, their aesthetic species become much better (the insignificant disappears completely).The skin relief is aligned, becomes elastic and toned.
Skin care after processing
To avoid complications and "help" the skin as much as possible after the procedure, it is necessary:
- He sleeps with his head raised.This will help reduce swelling.
- It is advisable to eliminate the use of alcohol and nicotine (or at least reduce the amount).
- Avoid exposure to UV radiation.Including protection against sunlight, use sunscreen for 3 months, after the procedure.
- Do not wear thickets and aggressive cosmetic products.
- Do not arrange the scabs and fighting, in case of their appearance.
How often you can do procedures
The duration of the procedure itself generally does not exceed 20 minutes.But the next session can be held not before 5 weeks later.The treatment course is selected individually for each patient, and on average it has 4-6 sessions.
The laser effect has a cumulative effect, so the result can persist up to 15 years.
Comparison of Fraxel therapy with other rejuvenation methods
They are considered a Fraxel analogue in terms of the effect:
- Term.Although it is an analogue, it is more effective as an additional procedure for Fraxel.
- Nano-Perforation.Although it is a softer procedure, it is not so effective and the effect is still less time.
- MesotherapyIt is not such an aggressive procedure, in addition, it is more affordable in cost, but it has a much less pronounced effect.
- Spot.It combines the effects of radio and laser waves.This procedure has more contraindications.
Fraxel's analogue is also Fraxel.However, what is better for him personally, each patient should determine on their own, since the devices are similar by the exposure method.Although Fraxel has expanded functionality.
Favorable combinations
The greater effect of the procedure can be achieved by combining it with others.For example, it is advisable to use plasmolifting or Themage simultaneously with Fraxel.This will help quickly achieve the desired result and maintain the longest effect.
