Every year, science comes up with more and more innovative developments to preserve youth.Fractional rejuvenation deserves special attention.This is a modern method of improving skin texture, thanks to which you can eliminate wrinkles and refresh your appearance without the participation of a surgeon.The procedure has many positive features, including a short rehabilitation period and long-lasting results.However, anyone who wants to improve their appearance needs to be aware of the contraindications of fractional facial rejuvenation.
Procedure information
No wonder fractional rejuvenation is popular now.This development allows functions to be awakened to produce new cells.Over the years, the renewal of the upper epidermal layer of the skin becomes slower.Not enough young cells appear to make the skin look smooth and healthy.Similar reactions occur in the dermal layer below the epidermis.As it is responsible for the elasticity and mobility of the skin, over time, due to cellular aging, these same characteristics of the skin are damaged.
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.The rejuvenation of the face, neck and décolleté area is particularly sought after.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 piercing).
Fractional thermolysis
Fractional laser rejuvenation involves working with a laser.A device that emits rays treats problem areas.The rays pass through the skin, heat it and cause microscopic damage.The device for the procedure does not provide continuous exposure.It attacks selective fractions of the dermal layer, acting according to the principle of perforating the screen.In these places, old cells are destroyed.But the healthy areas remain close to the damaged areas.Tissue trauma is minimal.
The rejuvenation process begins in 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 rays are included in the work.As a result, the skin is rejuvenated and tightened over the entire area of the body that the specialist worked on.
Unlike laser resurfacing, fractional laser resurfacing is a gentler method.The laser has a traumatic effect on selected areas, leaving a large number of healthy cells.Due to this feature, the skin recovers quickly.Long-term rehabilitation, as with grinding, is not necessary.
In turn, the cosmetologist performs fractional thermolysis in two ways:
- ablative;
- 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 will be able to see damaged areas of the body that heal quickly.Because the impact is superficial, the skin is more damaged than with the non-ablative method.However, a noticeable effect is observed after the first visit to a beautician.
In the second case, the rays enter the epidermis and as deep as possible into the dermis.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 longer lasting result than 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 drilling
Fractional radiofrequency rejuvenation is similar to laser technology.Only the device works with 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 delivered through the electrodes.In the dermis, this type of energy is converted into heat.Due to thermal effects, obsolete cells are destroyed.
The device works 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 takes 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 becomes better hydrated, the complexion changes to a healthier one, fine and deep expression wrinkles disappear.
Effect
Thanks to fractional laser and radiofrequency facial skin rejuvenation, an anti-aging result is observed.The skin is rejuvenated in several ways:
- Firstly, the skin acquires a healthy and radiant appearance, becomes more toned and elastic due to the synthesis of collagen and elastin.The sagging disappears.
- Secondly, thin and deep folds are smoothed out.The procedure completely eliminates crow's feet.The pores become narrowed.Thirdly, it improves the complexion of the face or the area where the procedure was performed.The skin acquires a pleasant pink color without pigment inclusions.Fourthly, no scars, stretch marks, post-acne, scars or hair 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, taut shape.
Indications and contraindications
The procedure is recommended for men and women who want to rejuvenate themselves, but fundamentally do not dare to lie on the operating table.
Nominations for the program include the following:
- age-related changes in the skin (sagging appearance, wrinkles, changes in contour, thinning and so on).
- pronounced consequences of acne;
- a network of capillaries;
- relief disturbances (e.g. traces of wounds);
- pigmentation;
- increased dryness, peeling, keratinization;
- drooping of the upper part of the eyelid;
- excessive porosity;
- dark circles and puffiness under the eyes;
- strip-shaped 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 diseases;
- the patient has an exacerbation of a chronic disease;
- cancer detected;
- There are wounds, abrasions, insect or animal bites on the skin that must be treated.
Additional information.The procedure is not performed if the patient has blood clotting problems, or if they have a cold or flu.
Nuances
- To achieve the best effect, at least 3-5 procedures are performed.There are 20-30 days between each intervention.
- The process takes 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 skin sensitivity 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 lasts for about 3 to 7 days.This is practically the only negative aspect of the rejuvenation program.
Preparation
No special preparation is required for rejuvenation.It is best to consult 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 skin restoration.The rehabilitation period lasts 7 days.After the procedure, the patient is not detained and can safely go to their apartment.
Skin care measures after fractional rejuvenation:
- Do not expose the treated area to water for 24 hours after the procedure.
- An anti-inflammatory gel is applied to the tissue 3 times a day.
- You can visit the bathhouse or pool no earlier than 7 days after rejuvenation.
- In the first week you cannot swim in the sea.
- It is highly recommended not to sunbathe for 30 days after visiting an aesthetic clinic.
Fractional rejuvenation is one of the progressive and safe programs to eliminate skin changes.It is successfully carried out both on young patients (to remove post-acne) and on older patients (to rejuvenate the skin).The effect of the procedure is long-lasting.Post-acne disappears completely, the rejuvenation effect lasts about 2 to 3 years.
