LASER FRACTIONAL REJUVENATION OF THE FACE, BODY SKIN, INTIMATE ZONE. PROS AND CONS, PHOTOS AND REVIEWS

A modern technique in cosmetology is laser facial rejuvenation, which allows you to effectively fight age-related changes. The device for the procedure is a representative of a new generation of lasers for fractional treatment, which allows you to gently and safely affect the epidermis.

Before embarking on anti-aging recovery sessions, it is important to familiarize yourself with the list of indications and contraindications, as well as learn about the nuances of technology and methods of exposure.

The essence of fractional technology

Laser facial rejuvenation is based on fractional technology, its essence lies in the non-surgical restoration of turgor, elasticity, general recovery and activation of synthesis.

The action on the epidermis and the inner layers of the skin is carried out due to the work of beams of laser beams passed through the separating fractional lattice. It is able to split the beam into several thinnest micro-beams, as a result of which a point effect on the state of tissues is provided.

Locally directed action does not damage adjacent skin areas. The micro-wounds left behind by the laser create a stressful heat shock state for the cells.

They begin active division, accelerated synthesis of collagen-elastin fibers, which are responsible for the youth and elasticity of the epidermis, occurs. With age, the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers slows down, this leads to a visible prolapse of tissues, the appearance of wrinkles, flabbiness, ptosis.

Fractional technology provides instant stimulation of all physiological processes occurring in the deep layers of the epidermis. Microdamages begin to actively heal, which leads to a natural reduction of the epidermis flap, provides powerful lifting in combination with accelerated wound healing.

Fractional action contributes to the creation of a newly formed subcutaneous collagen framework, accelerated synthesis of cells and substances, activation of physiological microprocesses. In the complex, such an action by a laser beam passed through a fractional lattice leads to natural rejuvenation, pores narrow, a healthy complexion returns, and the relief is smoothed.

At what age is the procedure indicated

The laser rejuvenation procedure is effective and safe, but, according to experts, there are relative age restrictions for its implementation.

Fractional technology is not recommended to be used until the age of 17, since at this age the formation of skin structures continues, there is a possibility of deep damage to the skin. Also, laser rejuvenation should not be used after 60 years, during this period all recovery processes in the body slow down.

The optimal age to start procedures is after 25-30 years, when the first signs of skin aging appear. The intensity of the course and the regularity of the sessions are calculated by the cosmetologist according to the indications, based on individual characteristics.

Benefits

Laser fractional technology has a lot of advantages over cosmetic procedures-analogues:

  1. Laser beams, passing through the fractional lattice, act pointwise, without damaging the adjacent areas of the epidermis.
  2. After laser exposure, no scars, burns or other serious marks remain on the skin.
  3. Rehabilitation after procedures does not take more than 3-4 days, it goes mostly without complications.
  4. Laser technology is effective, as a specialist can treat a large area of ​​skin in 1 session. The result is noticeable in a few days after 1 session.
  5. The procedure is non-invasive, safe, there is no risk of infection. The laser beam works non-contact on the surface, but the thermal radiation penetrates deep into the tissue.

Laser rejuvenation is a painless technology, during the sessions, patients can feel a slight tingling sensation, without significant discomfort.

One of the main advantages of the method is its versatility, since the most delicate and vulnerable to painful areas can be subjected to fractional treatment - the area around the eyes, the décolleté, the cervical area. The method can be applied to any type of skin, regardless of color type and texture features.

Peculiarity of grinding with Clear Brilliant

Laser facial rejuvenation is a hardware method performed by certified specialists in a clinic. The innovative fractional device Clear Brilliant belongs to the new generation of equipment.

This is a highly sensitive instrument that allows you to control the intensity and depth of exposure to laser microbeams, which makes the device one of the safest. The directed action of the scattered beam of light penetrates to the required depth, does not injure neighboring areas, does not cause swelling, redness.

how is fractional skin rejuvenation performed

The principle of operation consists in focusing the beam with a built-in manipulator and penetrating to a depth of no more than 0. 4 mm. The beam diameter is regulated by a built-in optimization system and is equipped with a system of uniform distribution in motion.

The laser can be used for deep or superficial grinding. The wavelength is adjustable in the range of 1440-1997 Nm, depending on the selected exposure method.

Thermal microtrauma occurs in order to activate internal recovery processes and microcirculation in the treatment areas. The laser acts delicately on the cortical layer, intensifying the natural processes of cellular rejuvenation and tissue renewal.

Can be used for any phototype, including tanned or dark skin. One of the advantages of the device is the painlessness of procedures, a short recovery period, as well as the speed of processing large areas of the epidermis in one procedure.

Due to its wide range of applications, the laser can be used not only for facial rejuvenation, but also in complex programs to restore elasticity of the skin of the mammary glands, inner surface of the arms and thighs.

Sessions are a synthesis of laser exposure and delivery of biologically active components in order to eliminate age-related problems, restore skin elasticity and youth.

Is it possible to remove pigmentation

Modern laser technologies in cosmetology are actively used to eliminate hyperpigmentation. Intensely colored areas look unaesthetic, they may be the result of age-related changes or individual characteristics of melanin production in the skin.

The essence of the procedure for removing age spots by the fractional method consists in a local effect on the lower layers of the skin, but without violating the integrity of the subcutaneous layers.

Fractional laser beam inhibits melanin, which is responsible for the appearance of age spots. The number of sessions to eliminate pigmentation is determined by a cosmetologist after assessing the condition of the skin, the characteristics of the color type, as well as the severity of the color of the spots.

Laser can remove:

  • freckles;
  • "sunspots";
  • age-related hyperpigmentation;
  • melasma;
  • pigmented changes after trauma;
  • epidermal moles.

The result is the destruction of melanin in the treated area, cell renewal with the normalization of the accumulation of healthy pigment. As a result, pigmentation gradually peels off along with the keratinized layer of the epidermis.

How is the procedure going

Laser facial rejuvenation is an effective complex procedure that is carried out in a specialized salon or clinic.

Before starting the course, it is necessary to undergo minimal training: do not sunbathe 2 weeks before the procedure, do not wipe the area with alcohol-containing products, exclude chemical peels and aggressive cosmetic procedures.

It is recommended to stop taking antibiotics, sulfonamides and anticoagulants.

Standard session algorithm:

fractional facial rejuvenation
  1. a consultation is carried out, an assessment of the condition of the skin is carried out, a medical questionnaire is filled out with the exception of possible contraindications.
  2. Sites are degreased with a special compound without alcohol before laser treatment.
  3. The organs of vision must be protected with special glasses to avoid injury to the mucous membrane of the eyes.
  4. Using the fractional nozzle, the doctor makes 2-3 passes through the treatment zones. The laser warms up the areas, the pulse duration, the depth of the beam penetration is regulated by the cosmetologist.
  5. After the session, a special soothing composition is applied to the skin, as well as a regenerating mask that promotes the healing of micro-wounds.

The specialist may recommend the use of an anesthetic ointment to relieve pain in the most sensitive areas.

During the procedure, patients may experience a slight tingling sensation.

Recovery after laser resurfacing

The skin after laser resurfacing needs careful care, as internal regenerative processes are activated. After laser therapy, the skin is most sensitive to the sun, therefore, a protective cream with a factor of at least SPF 35 should be applied before going outside.

The post-procedural period includes the following activities:

  • It is not recommended to visit the solarium or sunbathe for 2 weeks.
  • Avoid thermal treatments, baths and saunas, as well as the pool, as the skin becomes more sensitive. It is recommended to take a warm shower instead of a hot bath for 3 days.
  • It is strictly forbidden to carry out chemical peeling, deep scrubbing, so as not to injure the epidermis.
  • Provide maximum hydration, apply creams and masks based on hyaluronate.
  • Instead of washing, wipe the laser-treated areas with antiseptics.
  • Avoid applying alcohol-based products to treated areas that can cause dryness and irritation.

After laser exposure, the skin may experience slight redness, after which it begins to peel off. The crusts cannot be removed; this can disrupt the structure of the epidermis. A moisturizing ointment will help soften the skin.

The application of decorative cosmetics is permissible for 2 days after the session, but you should choose products with the most natural and light composition. Proper care promotes quick recovery, eliminates the development of negative side reactions. For a comprehensive restoration, the cosmetologist may recommend taking vitamins, washing with boiled ozonized water.
