More and more new services and opportunities appear 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 features of rehabilitation after the procedure.
Features of fractional facial rejuvenation
A method of hardware facial skin treatment - fractional photothermolysis - aims to eliminate the upper layer of the skin, which shows traces of exposure to time and the external environment.Due to this cleaning, 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 problematic and miniature areas of the face, thus the face is divided into segments, which 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 reaches the deepest 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 the doctor may use superficial anesthesia to prevent.The procedure takes about an hour;to consolidate the result, the cosmetologist can prescribe a series of different procedures.The duration of results retention can vary from 1 to several years, subject to skin lifting care.
Result
The main result of the fractional facial rejuvenation procedure is skin resurfacing, freeing the face from the keratinized upper layer of the skin, which gives the face a tired appearance.
Along with dead skin, dark and age spots, fine wrinkles and acne marks disappear.The new skin looks fresher and younger, is more actively restored, so the rejuvenating effect increases several months after the procedure.
Point and Fraxel
There are two different devices for fractional facial rejuvenation: Dot and Fraxel, their differences are based on the 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 aging skin problems, but also significantly more expensive.
The difference in 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 toenails 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 removing scars and age spots.Typically, the procedure is prescribed for patients over 30 years of age.
The procedure is contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women, people suffering from cancer, infectious and chronic diseases, people with acne.
Rehabilitation
Immediately after the procedure, the face is covered with a healing ointment and a bandage is applied;After a few hours, the face begins to turn red and swell, and painful sensations occur.During the first few days after the procedure, you should not be exposed to direct sunlight;you must use ointments prescribed by your doctor.On the second day, the face is covered with a hardened crust that cannot be removed, as it can cause infection and the appearance of scars that can no longer be healed.
Skin restoration will begin in just a week;During this period it is better not to leave the house, especially since your face does not look very presentable.The face remains bright pink for about a month and is easily susceptible to injury;you need to take good care of your skin, lubricating it with special ointments and creams.
