Factional facial rejuvenation is a safe, minimally invasive technique for restoring and rejuvenating turgor on the facial skin. This technology is considered one of the most effective alternatives to surgery.
Partial facial rejuvenation procedure
Gradually, the processes of growth, division and metabolism slow down, leading to a loss of cellular activity. The partial rejuvenation procedure is aimed at restoring cell regeneration and their natural functioning. This is due to the laser thermal damage to a small amount of elastin and collagen fibers, which helps to neutralize unusable cells and activate healthy cells.
Due to the thermal effect, internal and external rejuvenation is performed, age spots, skin imperfections, stretch marks, scars and scars are eliminated. Fractional thermolysis is performed on local areas of the skin surface, as the laser beam used in the procedure is divided into many micro-beams, which form a network structure. Thanks to this structure, healthy skin areas are not injured and the renewal process is faster.
The result of using the fractional laser is noticeable after the first procedure, the skin becomes more elastic and taut, its texture improves, the small vessels become invisible and the pigmentation decreases. The action of the laser promotes the activation of the work of collagen fibers, which are considered the natural framework of the skin, so after a week the fine wrinkles are smoothed, the skin color is evened out and the facial features become more expressive.
The mechanism of action of laser beams, depending on the depth and characteristics of penetration, is different, which is why there are such types of fractional rejuvenation:
- Ablative: characterized by the removal of superficial micro areas of the skin, which contributes to the gradual tightening of damaged microzones;
- Non-ablative: consists of deep penetration of fractional rays without damaging the outer layers of the epidermis.
The benefits of partial facial rejuvenation will be:
- achieving a tangible effect after the first session;
- short recovery period;
- is performed without the use of anesthesia;
- applies to all skin types;
- personal processing program;
- minimal risk of additional complications and damage to the skin surface;
- long lasting result.
The use of partial facial skin rejuvenation is recommended in the presence of such defects on the surface of the facial skin:
- pigmentation and capillaries;
- age-related skin changes;
- scars and scars;
- enlarged pores and acne;
- uneven skin color and texture;
- sagging skin;
- stretch marks;
- moles, papillomas and warts.
There are also contraindications for partial facial rejuvenation:
- the presence of inflammatory processes in the treated area;
- skin infections;
- allergies;
- psoriasis;
- epilepsy;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- presence of malignant neoplasms in the area of laser exposure.
The use of superficial anesthesia minimizes the formation of discomfort during the procedure, the only thing the patient can feel is a slight tingling in the area being worked on.
The essence of this technology is characterized by the effect of a lattice of fractional rays on certain areas of the skin surface, after which the old cells are eliminated, thus creating space for the formation of new ones. The direction and depth of penetration of the rays are regulated by means of a special device, which makes it possible to provide point stimulation of the epidermis and to prevent the formation of injuries and burns. The duration of the procedure is due to the volume of the cultivated area, on average the duration of the session takes from half an hour to one hour.
Factional facial rejuvenation has a special recovery period. After the procedure, reddening of the skin is observed, which finally heals within 10 days. It is possible the formation of ichor, which dries in the form of crust, then disappears by itself. The speed and quality, as well as the flawlessness of the end result, depends on following the skin care recommendations:
- do not use decorative cosmetics;
- wash with boiled water;
- stay in the sun for a week;
- conducts ozone therapy;
- Do not use scrubs and peels until the end of the rehabilitation period, as they can damage the fragile and young layer of the skin.
Factional facial rejuvenation combines well with other skin surface correction technologies. To achieve maximum effectiveness, this procedure is recommended to be performed in combination with contour plastic and Botox injections.
