More and more new services and opportunities are appearing on the hardware cosmetology market, for example, fractional facial rejuvenation.What is it, what is the peculiarity of the procedure and what are its results?We will talk about the specifics of the method, its consequences and the features of rehabilitation after the procedure.
Features of fractional facial rejuvenation
A method of hardware treatment of facial skin - fractional photothermolysis - aims to eliminate the upper layer of the skin, which bears traces of exposure to time and the external environment.Thanks to this cleansing, skin rejuvenation occurs.Thermolysis is the destruction of tissue at high temperatures.Fractional thermolysis is not performed entirely on the entire surface, but only on small problem areas of the face, then the face is divided into segments that are treated.
The essence of the procedure is that the device uses a laser beam to target small areas of the skin, this leads to the destruction of the upper layer, the beam hits the deeper levels of the skin and activates the production of natural collagen and elastin.The thermal effect of the laser activates cellular processes in the skin, rapid regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin occurs.
The procedure can cause pain, which your doctor can prevent by using superficial anesthesia.The procedure takes about an hour;To consolidate the result, the cosmetologist can prescribe a course of several procedures.The duration of maintaining the results can vary from 1 to several years, depending on the lifting skin care.
Result
The main result of the fractional facial rejuvenation procedure is skin resurfacing, which frees the face from the keratinized upper layer of skin, which gives the face a tired look.
Along with dead skin, dark and age-related spots, fine wrinkles and acne marks also disappear.New skin looks fresher and younger, is restored more actively, so the rejuvenating effect increases within several months of the procedure.
Punto and Fraxel
There are two different devices for fractional facial rejuvenation: Dot and Fraxel, their differences are based on different approaches to the procedure.Dot is a more advanced approach, so performing surgery with this device is less painful, more effective in solving common problems of aging skin, but also significantly more expensive.
The difference between the devices is the degree of penetration into the deep layers of the skin;Dot has a broader spectrum of action, for example it can help in the treatment of ingrown nails or ENT diseases.An experienced cosmetologist can achieve the same results with both devices.
Indications and contraindications
The fractional facial rejuvenation procedure is indicated for the appearance of facial wrinkles, "crow's feet" around the eyes, for sagging and sagging skin, for the removal of scars and age spots.Typically, the procedure is prescribed to patients over the age of 30.
The procedure is contraindicated for pregnant and breastfeeding women, people suffering from cancer, infectious and chronic diseases, people with acne.
Rehabilitation
Immediately after the procedure, the face is covered with healing ointment and a bandage is applied;after a few hours the face begins to redden and swell and painful sensations occur.During the first few days after surgery you should not expose yourself to direct sun;you need to use ointments prescribed by your doctor.On the second day, the face becomes covered with a crusted crust that cannot be removed, as this can lead to infections and the appearance of scars that can no longer be healed.
Skin restoration will begin only in a week;during this period it is better not to go out, especially since your face does not look very presentable.The face remains bright pink for about a month and is very easily susceptible to injury;you need to carefully care for the skin, lubricating it with special ointments and creams.
