Modern methods of hardware cosmetology allow you to quickly and effortlessly look younger in 5-6 years without resorting to plastic surgery. Among the popular techniques, fractional laser rejuvenation stands out. It helps restore skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and remove pigmentation caused by aging. The method gives an effect due to light radiation of different spectrum and power.
Characteristics of the procedure
Fractional laser skin rejuvenation is a non-surgical technology that allows millions of women to regain fresh, firm skin on the face, neck and décolleté. With the help of photothermolysis, keratinized layers of the dermis are removed. As a result, the relief of the skin is smoothed, fine wrinkles are smoothed, and the oval is restored. In the office of medical cosmetologists, experts restore the charm of youth with the help of an innovative device. We will choose the optimal set of procedures for you and ensure the rejuvenation of all areas that concern you.
The effectiveness of the technology is based on the deep impact on the skin cells. Laser beams form the thinnest grid and penetrate to a certain depth. They heat certain cells of the dermis to 70-80 ° C, leaving the adjacent areas intact. Untreated areas are tightened to restore skin integrity and create a lasting lifting effect.
Laser rejuvenation can be:
superficial (ablative) |
deep |
The method copes well with the first signs of aging. The beam affects the cells of the epidermis at a depth of not more than 1, 5 mm. |
Radiation penetrates 5 mm. Under its influence, the production of collagen and elastin is accelerated, which is why the membrane frame is updated. |
Indications for the procedure
Fractional laser resurfacing is recommended if you have:
- pronounced pores;
- scars, scars, stretch marks;
- dark spots;
- gravitational ptosis (appearance of wrinkles, lowering of lids and corners of lips, cheeks);
- decreased skin elasticity and turgor;
- hyper- or parakeratosis (excessive growth of the epidermis and the appearance of a granular effect).
The course of fractional laser rejuvenation allows you to achieve impressive results:
- tighten the skin on problem areas of the face and body;
- get rid of wrinkles around the eyes;
- non-surgical lifting of the eyelids
- eliminate age spots;
- make scars and stretch marks less noticeable;
- even out skin relief;
- make pores invisible;
- improve complexion;
- improve skin tone;
- get rid of melasma.
Stimulation of the production of collagen fibers and elastin stimulates natural rejuvenation and slows down the aging process.
Advantages of fractional laser rejuvenation
Individual settings |
The laser device is designed for flexible adjustment of radiation power. The cosmetologist sets the parameters taking into account the patient's skin type and existing aesthetic defects. |
Easy recovery |
The reaction of the tissue to the laser radiation lasts for about 30-48 hours, and the rejuvenating effect becomes visible after a week. |
Security |
A wide range of settings enables the most gentle skin treatment on the most sensitive areas: neck, mammary glands, décolleté. Surface fractional laser rejuvenation of the lower and upper lids is also possible. The nozzle of the device does not come into contact with the skin, so there is no danger of infection. |
Less traumatic |
Unlike the method of point cauterization of the skin on problem areas, after which burns remain for a long time, fractional rejuvenation does not leave such shortcomings due to the fine adjustment of the equipment. The likelihood of hyperpigmentation and scarring on the skin after the procedure is minimized. |
Compatibility with other techniques |
Fractional laser resurfacing enhances the effects of other anti-aging treatments. It can be performed in the complex:

- Apply dexpanthenol preparations on the skin to accelerate cell regeneration.
A fractional laser rejuvenation session can last from a few minutes to 1 hour. The exact time is determined by the amount of work and the area of rejuvenation. Immediately after the session, swelling and redness appear on the skin. They can be stored for up to 2 days. Then the treatment area is covered with a crust that disappears after 3-10 days. All this time, it is recommended to periodically treat the skin with soothing agents. After 2-3 weeks, the procedure can be repeated.
On average, the course of fractional rejuvenation includes 3-5 sessions. The maximum effect occurs after 3 months. after its completion. In the future, it is necessary to periodically undergo 1-2 preventive procedures per year in order to maintain the effect.
Skin care after a fractional laser rejuvenation session
During the first day, it is recommended not to wash or expose the skin to hot steam.
It is recommended to refuse to go to saunas, swimming pools and baths for 10 days. You can sunbathe in the solarium not earlier than 3 months after the end of the treatment. During this period, areas that have undergone photothermolysis must be protected from the sun with products with an SPF level of 30 units or more. Otherwise, the risk of hyperpigmentation increases.
To speed up cell regeneration and eliminate the feeling of tightness and dryness, apply the healing cream at intervals of 4-5 hours for the first two days.
For additional deep hydration of cells, 2 weeks after photothermolysis, biorevitalization can be done.
The use of scrubs and peels is not allowed within 10 days after the session. This can reduce the protective properties of the skin and slow down the regeneration processes.
After 10-14 days, moisturizing masks with collagen can be applied.
Do not apply the patch to damaged areas of the skin. It slows down the recovery process and can cause discomfort.
When choosing skin care products, pay attention to their composition. They must not contain glycolic acids and retinol. If these substances are present, it will be possible to use the cosmetic product only 2 weeks after photothermolysis and 2 weeks before the next session.
