Fractional rejuvenation

Every year, science presents more and more innovative developments for preserving youth.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 characteristics, including a short rehabilitation period and long-lasting results.However, those who want to improve their appearance need to be aware of the contraindications of fractional facial rejuvenation.

Procedure information

It’s not for nothing that fractional rejuvenation is popular now.This development makes it possible to awaken functions for the production of new cells.Over the years, renewal in the epidermal upper layer of the skin slows down.Not enough young cells appear 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, over time, due to cell aging, these very characteristics of the skin are disrupted.

The procedure affects tissues, stimulates the synthesis and production of new cells.The skin is tightened, wrinkles are eliminated, and its tone increases.

Additional information.The procedure is performed on any part of the body.Rejuvenation of the face, neck, and décolleté area is in particular demand.The innovative method easily removes stretch marks from the abdomen, thighs and buttocks.

Species

There are two types of procedure:

• laser (fractional thermolysis);
• radio frequency (RF perforation).

Fractional thermolysis

Fractional laser rejuvenation involves working with a laser.A device emitting rays treats problem areas.The rays pass through the skin, heat it and cause microscopic damage.The apparatus for the procedure does not provide continuous exposure.It injures selective fractions of the dermal layer, acting on the principle of mesh perforation.In these places, old cells are destroyed.But healthy areas remain next to the damaged areas.Tissue trauma is minimal.

The rejuvenation process starts from the treatment areas that have been damaged.They begin to synthesize elastin and collagen fibers.Next, neighboring cells that were not touched by the laser beams are included in the work.As a result, the skin is rejuvenated and tightened throughout the entire area of the body that the specialist worked with.

Unlike laser resurfacing, fractional laser rejuvenation is a more gentle method.The laser has a traumatic effect on selected areas, leaving a large number of healthy cells.Because of this feature, the skin quickly recovers.Long-term rehabilitation, as with grinding, is not required.

In turn, the cosmetologist carries out fractional thermolysis in two ways:

1. ablative;
2. non-ablative.

In the first case, the ablative laser passes through the epidermis and enters only the upper dermal tissues.As a result, after the procedure, you can see damaged areas of the body that quickly heal.Due to the fact that the impact is shallow, the skin is more injured than with the 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.The damage to the upper layers of the skin is minimal.All work takes place in deep layers.The effect appears gradually.But this method gives a more lasting result than with the ablative method.

Important!An experienced cosmetologist will determine which method is suitable for the patient’s skin.It is believed that for the best rejuvenation, ablative and non-ablative treatments should be alternated.

RF perforation

Fractional radiofrequency rejuvenation is similar to laser technology.Only the device operates using radio frequency electromagnetic energy.The nozzle that acts on the skin contains bipolar needle electrodes.They are lined up in rows.High frequency energy is supplied through the electrodes.In the dermis, this type of energy is converted into heat.Due to thermal effects, obsolete cells are destroyed.

The device acts like a sieve.Some areas remain untouched.The treatment zones begin to recover and actively build young tissues, which gradually replace 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.Subsequent positive changes in appearance occur within a month - the skin is better hydrated, the complexion changes to a healthier one, fine and deep expression wrinkles disappear.

Effect

Thanks to fractional laser facial skin rejuvenation and radiofrequency, an anti-aging result is observed.The skin is rejuvenated in several ways:

• Firstly, the skin acquires a healthy appearance and radiance, becomes more toned and elastic due to the synthesis of collagen and elastin.Flabbiness disappears.
• Secondly, both fine and deep wrinkled folds are smoothed out.The procedure completely eliminates crow's feet.The pores become narrowed.Thirdly, the complexion of the face or the area where the procedure was performed improves.The skin acquires a pleasant pinkish color without pigment inclusions.Fourthly, no scars, stretch marks, post-acne, scars, or capillary mesh remain.

Pay attention!Another pleasant effect is the correction of the facial contour.After attending the rejuvenation course, the contour will acquire a natural, tightened shape.

Indications and contraindications

The procedure is recommended for men and women who want to rejuvenate, but fundamentally do not dare to lie down on the surgical table.

Indications for the program include the following:

• age-related changes in the skin (flabby appearance, wrinkles, changes in contour, thinning, and so on).
• pronounced consequences of acne;
• a network of capillaries;
• relief disturbances (for example, traces of wounds);
• pigmentation;
• increased dryness, peeling, keratinization;
• drooping of the upper part of the eyelid;
• excessive porosity;
• circles and puffiness under the eyes;
• strip-like 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 ailments;
• the patient has an exacerbation of a chronic disease;
• cancer detected;
• There are wounds, abrasions, insect or animal bites on the skin that is supposed to be treated.

Additional information.The procedure is not performed if the patient has problems with blood clotting, or if he has a cold or caught the 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.
• Without anesthetic compounds, rejuvenating the body with this method 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, even after anesthesia a slight burning sensation is felt.
• Immediately after the procedure, you should expect redness and swelling, which last for about 3-7 days.This is practically the only negative in the rejuvenation program.

Preparation

No special preparation is required for rejuvenation.It is best to meet with your doctor a few days before the procedure and find out all the details of the process.

Rehabilitation

Additional information.The innovative method involves rapid restoration of the skin.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:

1. Do not expose the treated area to water for 24 hours after the procedure.
2. An anti-inflammatory gel is applied to the tissue 3 times a day.
3. You are allowed to visit the bathhouse or swimming pool no earlier than 7 days after rejuvenation.
4. In the first week you cannot swim in the sea.
5. It is strongly recommended not to sunbathe for 30 days after visiting a cosmetic clinic.

Fractional rejuvenation is one of the progressive and safe programs to eliminate skin changes.It is successfully carried out both for young patients (to remove post-acne) and for older patients (to rejuvenate the skin).The effect of the procedure is long lasting.Post-acne disappears completely, the rejuvenation effect lasts about 2-3 years.
