Every woman wants to be the owner of smooth and youthful perfect skin without wrinkles. Over the years, the aging process of the skin becomes more and more active, so it quickly loses its elasticity and firmness. Fractional laser rejuvenation will help restore skin quality. Heat exposure during the procedure activates cell growth, ensures the production of collagen fibers and the removal of dead skin layers.
Operating principle
Fractional rejuvenation with laser - what is it? So experts call skin resurfacing using high temperatures provided by laser beams. The principle of operation of the technique resembles laser resurfacing, but it has a deeper effect and possible complex consequences. A tool for small-sized procedures, it is equipped with a photocell that ensures the penetration of the laser beam into the tissue. The specialist drives the device over the patient's skin quickly, otherwise burns may occur.
Type
Experts distinguish between ablative and non-ablative types of laser fractional rejuvenation. Ideally, a combination of both types of exposure is recommended.
ablative type
A non-surgical facelift using an ablative type helps to resurface dead skin cell layers. This option allows you to eliminate the early signs of aging. The procedure, acting on the skin, activates the growth of new healthy cells, tightens, evens out skin tone, smoothes mimic wrinkles.
non-ablative type
Non-ablative types of laser rejuvenation are used in case of irreversible skin changes. This option allows you to influence the inner layer, eliminate pathological processes in the skin, promote cellular regeneration and the formation of a membrane frame, activate the production of collagen fibers.

This is enough to smooth deep scars and remove most wrinkles.
Effect
Immediately after fractional rejuvenation, the patient experiences pain even with the use of painkillers and medications. After about 3 hours, the skin becomes red and slightly swollen (maximum swelling on day 2), especially in the nose area, around the eyes and on the upper eyelids. To reduce swelling, you need to drink diuretics and reduce the amount of salty food.
On the second day, abundant secretion of ichor and the appearance of a crust on the face, which hardens by the end of the day (it is forbidden to touch it, as well as try to remove it, it is full of infection and the appearance of scars). After a while, it will soften and disappear on its own (using skin regeneration products will help with this).
After about a week, the swelling on the face stopped, but for about a month, the clear pink color of the skin remained. When going out, the use of a compound with a sun protection factor (at least SPF 30) is required, taking vitamins is recommended. Sunbathing, as well as the use of exfoliants (scrub, peeling, gommage) is prohibited.
Usually, after 3-6 months, the specialist prescribes a second session, and all the consequences need to be transferred again.
