Every year, science introduces more and more innovations to protect young people.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 participation of a surgeon.The procedure has many positive features, including a short rehabilitation period and long-term results.However, those who want to improve their appearance should be aware of the contraindications of fractional facial rejuvenation.
Procedure information
It is not for nothing that fractional rejuvenation is now popular.This development allows us to awaken the functions for the production of new cells.Over the years, renewal in the epidermal top layer of the skin slows down.There are not enough young cells to make the skin look smooth and healthy.Similar reactions occur in the dermal layer below the epidermis.Since it is responsible for the elasticity and mobility of the skin, these very properties of the skin are impaired over time due to cellular aging.
The procedure affects tissues, stimulates the synthesis and production of new cells.The skin is tightened, wrinkles disappear, tone increases.
Additional information.The procedure is performed on any part of the body.Rejuvenation of the face, neck and décolleté is a special demand.The innovative method easily removes stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs and buttocks.
Species
There are two types of procedures:
- laser (fractional thermolysis);
- radio frequency (RF perforation).
Fractional thermolysis
Fractional laser rejuvenation involves working with a laser.The device that emits rays treats problem areas.The rays penetrate the skin, heating it and causing microscopic damage.The apparatus for the procedure does not provide continuous exposure.The mesh damages selective fractions of the dermal layer acting on the principle of perforation.In these places, old cells are destroyed.But healthy areas remain next to damaged areas.Tissue trauma is minimal.
The rejuvenation process starts from the damaged treatment areas.They begin to synthesize elastin and collagen fibers.Then the neighboring cells, which were not touched by the laser beams, are included in the work.As a result, the skin is rejuvenated and tightened in the entire area of the body where the specialist works.
Unlike laser resurfacing, fractional laser resurfacing is a gentler method.The laser has a traumatic effect on selected areas, releasing a large number of healthy cells.Due to this feature, the skin recovers quickly.As with grinding, long-term rehabilitation is not required.
In turn, the cosmetologist performs fractional thermolysis in two ways:
- ablative;
- non-ablative.
In the first case, the ablative laser passes through the epidermis and enters only the upper skin tissues.As a result, you can see quickly healed damaged areas of the body after the procedure.Due to the shallowness of the blow, the skin is damaged more than with a 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 deep 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 more permanent result compared to the ablative method.
It is important!An experienced cosmetologist will determine which method is suitable for the patient's skin.It is believed that ablative and non-ablative treatments should be alternated for best rejuvenation.
RF perforation
Fractional radiofrequency rejuvenation is similar to laser technology.Only the device works with radio frequency electromagnetic energy.The tip that affects the skin has bipolar needle electrodes.They are arranged in order.High frequency energy is supplied through the electrodes.In the dermis, this type of energy is converted into heat.Due to thermal effects, worn-out cells are destroyed.
The device acts as a sieve.Some areas remain untouched.Treatment zones gradually begin to regenerate and actively build young tissue that replaces all old cells.
The procedure lasts about an hour and is almost painless.The slight redness that appears after the cosmetic procedure disappears within an hour.Further positive changes in appearance occur within a month - the skin is better moisturized, the skin becomes a healthier color, fine and deep wrinkles disappear.
The effect
Fractional laser facial skin rejuvenation and anti-aging effect due to radio frequency.The skin is rejuvenated in several ways:
- Firstly, the skin acquires a healthy look and shine, becomes more toned and elastic due to the synthesis of collagen and elastin.Hardness disappears.
- Second, both fine and deep wrinkles are smoothed.The procedure completely eliminates crow's feet.Pores are narrowed.Thirdly, the color of the face or the area where the procedure was performed improves.The skin acquires a pleasant pink color without pigment inclusions.Fourth, no scars, stretch marks, post-acne, scars or capillary mesh remain.
Pay attention!Another pleasant effect is the correction of the facial contour.After participating in the rejuvenation course, the contour will take on a natural, taut shape.
Indications and contraindications
The procedure is recommended for men and women who want to rejuvenate, but fundamentally do not dare to lie on the surgical table.
Instructions for the program include:
- age-related changes in the skin (beauty, wrinkles, contour changes, thinning, etc.).
- visible results of acne;
- network of capillaries;
- relief disorders (eg, scars);
- pigmentation;
- increased dryness, peeling, keratinization;
- lowering of the upper part of the eyelid;
- excessive porosity;
- circles and puffiness under the eyes;
- striated skin atrophy, stretch marks.
It is better not to undergo a cosmetic procedure if:
- the woman is pregnant or breastfeeding;
- a person has psoriasis, allergies, herpetic rashes and other connective tissue diseases;
- the patient has an exacerbation of a chronic disease;
- detected cancer;
- There are wounds, scratches, insect or animal bites on the skin that need to be treated.
Additional information.If the patient has a blood clotting problem, the procedure is not performed in case of a cold or flu.
Nuances
- To achieve the best effect, at least 3-5 procedures are performed.There are 20-30 days between each intervention.
- The duration of the process is 1 hour.
- Rejuvenating the body with this method without anesthetic compounds is painful.Before using the laser, a special cream is applied to the surface of the skin, which reduces the sensitivity of the skin and relieves pain.
- According to reviews, a slight burning sensation is felt even after anesthesia.
- Immediately after the procedure, you should expect redness and swelling that lasts for about 3-7 days.This is practically the only negative aspect of the rejuvenation program.
Preparation
No special preparation is required for rejuvenation.It is better 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 provides for rapid skin regeneration.The rehabilitation period lasts 7 days.After the procedure, the patient is not detained and he can safely go to his apartment.
Skin care measures after fractional rejuvenation:
- Do not expose the treated area to water for 24 hours after the procedure.
- Anti-inflammatory gel is applied to the tissue 3 times a day.
- It is allowed to visit the bathhouse or pool no later than 7 days before rejuvenation.
- You cannot swim in the sea in the first week.
- It is strongly recommended not to sunbathe for 30 days after visiting the cosmetic clinic.
Fractional rejuvenation is one of the progressive and safe programs to eliminate skin changes.It is successfully performed both for young patients (for post-acne removal) and for older patients (for skin rejuvenation).The effect of the procedure lasts for a long time.After acne, it disappears completely, the rejuvenation effect lasts for about 2-3 years.
