Every year, science presents more and more innovative advances to preserve youth.Fractional rejuvenation deserves special attention.This is a modern method of improving skin texture, thanks to which you can get rid of wrinkles and refresh your appearance without the involvement of a surgeon.The procedure has many positive features, including a short rehabilitation period and long-lasting results.However, those who want to improve their appearance should know the contraindications of fractional facial rejuvenation.

Procedure information

It is not for nothing that fractional rejuvenation is popular now.This development allows functions to be awakened for the production of new cells.As we age, renewal in the upper epidermal layer of the skin slows down.Not enough young cells appear to make the skin look smooth and healthy.Similar reactions occur in the dermal layer beneath the epidermis.Since it is responsible for the elasticity and mobility of the skin, over time, due to cellular aging, these same characteristics of the skin are altered.

The procedure affects the tissues, stimulates the synthesis and production of new cells.The skin is tightened, wrinkles are eliminated and its tone increases.

Additional information.The procedure is performed anywhere on the body.Particularly in demand is the rejuvenation of the face, neck and décolleté.The innovative method easily removes stretch marks from the abdomen, thighs and buttocks.

Species

There are two types of procedure:

  • laser (fractional thermolysis);
  • radiofrequency (RF piercing).

Fractional thermolysis

Fractional laser resurfacing involves working with a laser.A device that emits rays treats problem areas.The rays pass through the skin, heating it and causing microscopic damage.The apparatus for the procedure does not provide continuous exposure.It damages selective fractions of the dermal layer, acting on the principle of mesh perforation.In these places old cells are destroyed.But the healthy areas remain next to the damaged areas.Tissue trauma is minimal.

The rejuvenation process begins from the treatment areas that have been damaged.They begin to synthesize elastin and collagen fibers.Neighboring cells that were not touched by the laser beams are then included in the work.As a result, the skin is rejuvenated and tightened in the entire area of the body with which the specialist worked.

Unlike laser resurfacing, fractional laser resurfacing is a gentler method.The laser has a traumatic effect on selected areas, leaving a large number of healthy cells.Thanks to this feature, the skin recovers quickly.No long-term rehabilitation is required, as is the case with polishing.

In turn, the cosmetologist performs fractional thermolysis in two ways:

  1. ablative;
  2. non-ablative.

In the first case, the ablative laser passes through the epidermis and penetrates only the upper dermal tissues.As a result, after the procedure, damaged areas of the body can be seen healing quickly.Because the impact is superficial, the skin is injured more than with the non-ablative method.However, a noticeable effect is observed after the first visit to a cosmetologist.

In the second case, the rays enter the epidermis and as deeply as possible into the dermis.Damage to the upper layers of the skin is minimal.All work is done in deep layers.The effect appears gradually.But this method gives a longer lasting result than the ablative method.

Important!An experienced cosmetologist will determine which method is suitable for the patient's skin.It is believed that to achieve the best rejuvenation, ablative and non-ablative treatments should be alternated.

Radiofrequency drilling

Fractional radiofrequency rejuvenation is similar to laser technology.Only the device works using radio frequency electromagnetic energy.The nozzle that acts on the skin contains bipolar needle electrodes.They are lined up in rows.High frequency energy is supplied through the electrodes.In the dermis this type of energy is converted into heat.Due to thermal exposure, obsolete cells are destroyed.

How is fractional skin resurfacing performed

The device acts as a strainer.Some areas remain intact.The treatment areas begin to recover and actively build young tissues, which gradually replace all old cells.

The procedure takes about an hour and is almost painless.The slight redness that appears after the cosmetic procedure disappears within an hour.Subsequent positive changes in appearance occur within a month: the skin is better hydrated, the complexion changes to a healthier one, and fine and deep expression wrinkles disappear.

Effect

Thanks to skin rejuvenation of the face with fractional laser and radiofrequency, an anti-aging result is observed.The skin is rejuvenated in several ways:

  • First of all, the skin acquires a healthy appearance and luminosity, it becomes more toned and elastic thanks to the synthesis of collagen and elastin.The sagging disappears.
  • Secondly, both fine and deep wrinkled folds are smoothed.The procedure completely eliminates crow's feet.The pores narrow.Thirdly, it improves the complexion of the face or the area where the procedure was performed.The skin acquires a pleasant pink color without pigment inclusions.Fourthly, there are no scars, stretch marks, post-acne, scars or hair mesh left.

Pay attention!Another pleasant effect is the correction of facial contour.After attending the rejuvenation course, the contour will acquire a natural and toned shape.

Indications and contraindications.

The procedure is recommended for men and women who want to rejuvenate, but who fundamentally do not dare to lie down on the surgical table.

  • The duration of the process is 1 hour.
  • Without anesthetic compounds, rejuvenating the body with this method is painful.Before using the laser, a special cream is applied to the surface of the skin, which reduces skin sensitivity and relieves pain.
  • According to reviews, even after anesthesia a slight burning sensation is felt.
  • Immediately after the procedure, you should expect redness and swelling, which lasts 3-7 days.This is practically the only negative aspect of the rejuvenation program.

Preparation

No special preparation is required for rejuvenation.It is best to meet with your doctor a few days before the procedure and learn all the details of the process.

Rehabilitation

Additional information.The innovative method involves rapid skin restoration.The rehabilitation period lasts 7 days.After the procedure, the patient is not detained and can safely return to his apartment.

Skin care measures after fractional rejuvenation:

  1. Do not expose the treated area to water for 24 hours after the procedure.
  2. An anti-inflammatory gel is applied to the tissue 3 times a day.
  3. You are allowed to visit the bathhouse or pool no earlier than 7 days after rejuvenation.
  4. In the first week you cannot swim in the sea.
