The external manifestation of skin aging is the appearance of wrinkles, enlarged pores and loss of skin freshness. The aging process is hardly manifested at the initial stages, and, therefore, does not receive much attention, but already at the age of 25 the first signs of inactive roaming are visible: the turgor decreases, the texture changes. Later, the skin gradually becomes thinner - vessels become noticeable, areas with hyperlinks appear.
To restore the youth of the skin, it is not enough to simply eliminate the visible manifestations of aging - it is necessary to restore the active activity of cells, the natural mechanism of their renewal and growth. Therefore, not only will the skin look fresh, but it will look really younger. Cosmetology made real progress in 2004, when the method of fractional photothermolysis was introduced to treat age-related skin changes. This technology is proven and clinically tested - it is effective for wrinkle correction and skin rejuvenation.
Practical application also shows that fractional photothermolysis is easy to tolerate, safe and has high performance in eliminating cosmetic defects and restoring youth. Today it is one of the most reliable and promising methods for skin rejuvenation and tightening, recognized as the "gold standard" for solving cosmetic problems. In addition, it is a modern and safe alternative to surgical skin lifting.
Course of procedure, emotions of the patient
One key and pleasing advantage of the fractional photothermolysis procedure is its lack of pain - only surface anesthesia is required, although the sensations are limited to a slight tingling sensation in the area treated with the laser beam.
The anesthetic is applied before the start of the session, which lasts within an hour - the time varies depending on the size of the surface to be treated.
The specialist who performs the procedure immediately after its completion advises the patient to lubricate the skin with cream and gives detailed instructions on how to care for it.
It should be noted that the skin does not require any special medical care and you can go home on your own.
Recovery period
If a previous surgical intervention required a long recovery period, then the fractional laser rejuvenation method does not take much time: it takes no more than a week to return to the normal rhythm of life: the time depends on the method of interventionnon-ablative). In the first two days after the procedure, the skin may swell slightly, on days 2-4, redness is noticed, and on days 4-7, dead cells begin to peel, releasing healthy and beautiful skin for breathing anddevelopment.
You can be sure that the procedure carried out fractional photothermolysis for younger skin very early - after the method of exposure, the skin is tightened almost immediately, and generally, after a week, wrinkles begin to smooth out, the complexion is rounded, the texture of the skin improves, the oval becomes clearer. In order to consolidate and maximize the result, a number of procedures are required - they are performed with a difference of about a month.
Fractional laser resuscitation lasts up to six months after the end of all procedures, and the effect lasts for several years. In many ways, the outcome is determined by the lifestyle of the patient - following the program to preserve the youth of the skin, which is prescribed by the doctor, helps to slow down their aging.
Combination with other renewal methods
Many patients, trying to enhance the rejuvenating effect, would like to combine laser fractional rejuvenation as well as botulinum toxin injections and fillers. In this case, there are no violations - special studies have confirmed the safety of the impact of fractional lasers on collagen and hyaluronic fillers. For those who want to do the laser rejuvenation procedure and Botox injection on the same day, there are also no restrictions, but in order to get the maximum rejuvenation effect, it is recommended to complete a fractional laser refresher course first. . Most likely, the effect achieved will not require any additional efforts to restore the beauty and youth of your skin.
