The main reasons for skin aging are a decrease in the functional capacity of metabolism and cell growth, as well as a slower elimination of toxins and waste and a decrease in the supply of nutrients to cell structures.Thanks to laboratory studies, it is known that this is a reversible process, meaning that there is always the possibility of increasing cell activity.Scientists have discovered that after heat exposure with a laser, part of the cells in the dermis are activated and the rest die.As a rule, dead cells die, not living cells, which are incapable of further recovery.
When weak cells die, the spaces between the cells are occupied by stronger cells.The thermal effect that appears after laser treatment will activate cell activity, continuing cell regeneration and growth.The quality and speed of cell recovery depends on the diameter of the laser beam.Its thickness should be no more than 200 microns, then the formation of a healthy and youthful skin layer will begin in the treated area.
For this reason, laser rejuvenation techniques have been improved through the application of fractional pyrolysis.During this process, the laser beam is divided into many extremely small beams, forming a mesh structure that affects the treatment area.The innovative significance of this technology is that lasers act on localized skin areas, helping to preserve intact skin areas - they accelerate the skin regeneration and healing process.
Types of fractional pyrolysis
Fractional laser rejuvenation is successfully used to tighten and strengthen skin using one of two possible exposure methods.They differ in the operating characteristics of the laser, the depth of penetration and its impact on certain areas.
The first method of action - fractional photothermolysis - affects the upper epidermal cells, literally evaporating them.In other words, with this method, only the upper dermis is exposed.
The second method of action affects the lower epidermis and dermis, leaving the upper skin layer unaffected.In both cases, the laser beam has a localized effect.A zone of cell programming is maintained around the treated areas, creating further skin recovery.In other words, heat shock activates new cell growth and cellular metabolism.
The first fractional photothermal method removes microscopic areas of skin cells on the surface, tightening the treated areas in a short time so the results after the treatment can be seen immediately.It perfectly smoothes surface wrinkles, therefore it is considered an ideal remedy for eliminating the first signs of age-related skin changes.
The second laser treatment method is suitable for solving problems deep in the skin, when the aging process can no longer be reversed.This method is a type of "heavy artillery" for laser skin rejuvenation.By affecting the deep layers of the epidermis and dermis, the laser begins the metabolic process, forms a new membrane framework, activates collagen production, thanks to which the skin becomes more youthful and restored from the inside.
It has been demonstrated that the maximum efficiency of fractional photothermolysis is achieved through the combined use of the two exposure methods.In this case, the skin will receive a double effect - both external and internal, providing a long-lasting skin rejuvenation effect.A similar technique is used by a large number of modern medical institutions that have modern laser equipment available.
Efficiency of the procedure
You can guarantee that after fractional laser rejuvenation, your skin will become even, smooth and radiant after the first treatment.Within a week, the oval of the face will noticeably tighten, wrinkles will fade, and the skin will become even.To consolidate and prolong the results, a course of procedures will be required at monthly intervals.
With combined fractional rejuvenation, the effect of youthful skin is achieved much faster and lasts longer, up to 2-3 years.Of course, the results largely depend on the individual patient's lifestyle.Giving up bad habits, preventive facial care, healthy lifestyle, getting enough and proper sleep helps prolong the youth of the skin, prevents the aging process and fading.
The undoubted advantage of the procedure is its painlessness.The specialist uses superficial anesthesia, so during the procedure, the patient only feels a slight tingling in the affected area.
Progress of the procedure
The undoubted advantage of the procedure is its painlessness.The specialist uses superficial anesthesia, so during the procedure, the patient only feels a slight tingling in the affected area.Anesthesia is applied immediately before the start of the treatment session, which can last up to an hour - it all depends on the treatment surface area.
After completing the treatment, the specialist will advise customers on necessary skin care and treatment with specialized medicinal products.
Immediately after the procedure, the skin does not require additional care.It will take you more than a week to return to your normal lifestyle, while the recovery process after surgery will be much more difficult and longer.
During the first two days, the face will be puffy, then it will be slightly red.Within 4-7 days, dead cells will begin to peel off, revealing fresh and youthful skin.
Indications for procedure
If there is any doubt about the effectiveness of fractional laser skin rejuvenation, then you should first consult the prescribed procedure, of which there are many:
- Acne.
- Pigment.
- Spider veins, stretch marks and scars.
- Pores are enlarged.
- Wrinkles and crow's feet in the area around the eyes.
- Sagging, aging and loose skin.
Contraindications of the procedure
Like any beauty salon procedure, partial rejuvenation has a number of contraindications:
- Benign and malignant formations in the treatment area.
- Ongoing cancer and chemotherapy.
- Dermatological and dermatological diseases in the area where the procedure was performed.
- Herpes infection appears within a month.
- Acute infection, immunodeficiency.
- Chronic diseases, eg bleeding disorders, diabetes, thrombophlebitis.
- Psoriasis and hypertension.
- History of keloid scars or vitiligo, family history of vitiligo or keloid scars.
- Freshly tanned skin, just visited the solarium.
- Pregnancy and lactation period.
- Use retinoids within the past six months.
Combine partial rejuvenation with other procedures
This procedure should always be performed only after a preliminary consultation with a cosmetologist.In case of obvious age-related changes, the maximum effect will be achieved by laser skin resurfacing and not by partial rejuvenation.
In some cases, it will not be possible without surgical operations, namely endoscopic facelift, blepharoplasty or insertion of threads for tightening.However, laser skin rejuvenation will help maintain and improve the effectiveness of the treatment.It will complement their results and complete the client's look.
Procedures such as mesotherapy and plasma lifting as well as biorestoration based on hyaluronic acid are perfectly combined with laser rejuvenation techniques.
