Fractional laser rejuvenation - rejuvenation without a scalpel

how facial skin rejuvenation is performed with fractional laser

Fractional laser rejuvenation helps to effectively rejuvenate the skin and eliminate aesthetic imperfections of the face and body. Fractional facial rejuvenation, being a worthy alternative to surgical facelift, is easily tolerated by the patient and has a very short rehabilitation period.

Thus, modern CO2lasers with a super pulsed mode give a beam that penetrates so gently deep into the skin that the rehabilitation period after exposure to such a laser is very short andtakes about two days. Erbium, Neodymium and Alexandrite lasers have a slightly harsher effect.

Why do you need laser rejuvenation and how it works

Already after twenty-five years, the first signs of skin aging appear: the appearance of wrinkles, dilated pores, changes in color and texture of the skin, loss of the sensation of skin freshness. Various cosmetic preparations give an unstable and superficial result. To truly preserve youth and go back in time, it is necessary to activate the normal functioning of skin cells, restore the natural mechanism of their growth and renewal.

The light beam heats and evaporates the deep layers of the epidermis in a targeted way. At the site of exposure, a "hole" forms around which the tissue instantly contracts and the cells begin to actively regenerate. The beam also affects the collagen fibers that make up the skin's structure and play a huge role in preserving the skin's youth. Short-term heating of collagen fibers with a laser beam stimulates their renewal and growth. In view of the above, the effect after the procedure increases for six months and lasts at least two years.

pros and cons of fractional skin rejuvenation

In other words, the skin receives a thermal shock, which activates its renewal, which involves the elimination of various skin defects: wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, age spots. The result is visible immediately after the procedure, as an instantaneous contraction of the skin occurs, and it grows within six months due to the restructuring of collagen.

Facial rejuvenation with fractional laser leads to smoothing irregularities and scars, even after acne, smoothing wrinkles, narrowing pores, evening the complexion and improving the clarity of its oval.

For maximum and lasting results, a course of several procedures is recommended - 2-4 sessions per month.

I must say that the fractional laser is the most optimal way to remove stretch marks, combining high efficiency and gentle effect. But for these purposes a longer course is needed.
