We live in the 21st century, a century of technology and opportunity. And when women were offered surgery to make their facial skin look younger and taut, many immediately agreed to go under the knife. Fortunately, modern methods are not that dangerous, but they are no less effective. After all, we are offered a fractional laser facial rejuvenation procedure. What it is, how it is used and what its positive and negative sides are, we will consider below.
Fractional skin rejuvenation
This is a unique modern technology based on the use of a laser as a stimulator for the functioning and efficiency of skin cells.
Why do cells under the influence of a laser begin to perform their functions? The answer is as follows:
- Due to the thermal shock, the cell "wakes up".
- Cells that have lost the ability to "work" eventually die and fall.
- At the same time, healthy cells begin to multiply, because now they need to fill the empty space after the laser works.
- This stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin. It is these two components that act as anti-aging substances.
To achieve a positive and almost invisible result, the laser beam passes through a division, thus forming a mesh. This happens thanks to a special apparatus.
Types of procedures
Cosmetologists also took into account not only the effectiveness of the procedure, but also tried to give a choice of procedure, thanks to the possibility of choosing the depth of penetration and the nature of the effect on the skin.
In this regard, there are two types of anti-aging process, namely:
- Ablative rejuvenation.This type of procedure is characterized by the effect of a laser on the skin. This helps to remove the skin microparticles and the microzone itself undergoes slow healing, which guarantees an effective lifting result during the first procedure.
- Non-ablative rejuvenation.When performing this type of procedure, the microzones are also reset. A distinctive feature of this method is a deeper penetration of the beam into the layers of the skin, without affecting the outer layer of the skin. This process is longer, but also more effective. Thanks to this, your skin will be able to appear after such a procedure as exfoliation.
Important!For a complete and long-term result, it is better to carry out a series of measures for rejuvenation, harmoniously using different methods of rejuvenation, which directly affect both the deep level of the skin and the surface.
There are also other dangerous methods to do on their own and they have a very long recovery period.
For example, resurfacing is a sequential evaporation of the dermis. After this procedure, you will have an open bleeding area that will heal in two or more months.
As with the DOT technique, or better known as fractional thermolysis, this method is only effective if performed by an experienced craftsman who knows exactly how to correctly and effectively apply a chiseled effect to the skin area.
