The main causes of skin aging are the degradation of metabolism and cell growth functions, as well as the slowed removal of toxins and waste products and the reduced supply of nutrients to cell structures.From laboratory studies, it is known that this is a reversible process, that is, there is always the possibility of enhanced cell activity.Scientists found that after being irradiated with laser heat, some cells in the dermis were activated, while other cells died.Generally speaking, dead cells die more than live cells, which have no potential for further recovery.
When weak cells die, the vacated intercellular spaces are occupied by stronger cells.The thermal effect that occurs after laser treatment activates cellular activity, restoring cell renewal and growth.The quality and speed of cell repair depend on the diameter of the laser beam.Its thickness should not exceed 200 microns and a layer of healthy, youthful skin will begin to form in the treated area.
Therefore, laser skin rejuvenation technology has been improved through the introduction of fractional pyrolysis technology.During this process, the laser beam is split into many microscopic beams, creating a mesh that affects the treatment area.What’s innovative about this technology is that the laser works in a localized area, leaving an intact area of skin – accelerating skin regeneration and healing.
Types of graded pyrolysis
Fractional laser rejuvenation successfully tightens and strengthens the skin through one of two possible exposure methods.They differ in the characteristics of the laser action, depth of penetration and impact on certain areas.
The first method of action - partial photothermolysis - affects the upper epidermal cells, actually vaporizing them.In other words, with this method, only the upper dermal layer is exposed.
The second method of action affects the lower epidermis and dermis layers without affecting the upper layers of the skin.In both cases, the laser beam has a localized effect.A zone of cellular programming remains around the treatment area, which creates the potential for further skin repair.In other words, heat shock activates the growth of new cells and metabolic processes within the cell.
The first fractional photothermal therapy removes microscopic areas of the surface of skin cells, tightening the treated area in a short time so the results are immediately visible after surgery.It perfectly smoothes surface wrinkles and is therefore considered an ideal treatment for eliminating the first signs of age-related skin changes.
The second method of laser influence is suitable for addressing deeper problems in the skin, when the aging process is no longer reversible.This method is a "heavy artillery" of laser skin rejuvenation.By affecting the deeper layers of the epidermis and dermis, the laser initiates metabolic processes, forms a new membrane framework, activates collagen production, making the skin youthful and restored from within.
It was demonstrated that the maximum efficiency of graded photothermolysis can be achieved by using a combination of both exposure methods.In this case, the skin receives a dual effect - external and internal, thus providing long-lasting skin rejuvenation effects.Many modern medical facilities with modern laser equipment use similar technology.
program effectiveness
You can be sure that after fractional laser rejuvenation your skin will be even, smooth and radiant after the first procedure.Within a week, facial ovals will be visibly tightened, wrinkles smoothed, and skin tone evened out.To consolidate and prolong the results, monthly procedures are required.
With combined staged rejuvenation, the results of younger-looking skin can be achieved faster and last longer, up to 2-3 years.Of course, results depend greatly on the lifestyle of the individual patient.Giving up bad habits, preventive facial care, a healthy lifestyle, proper and adequate sleep help prolong the youthful appearance of the skin and prevent the aging and fading processes.
The undoubted advantage of this procedure is that it is painless.Experts use superficial anesthesia, so the patient only feels a slight stinging sensation in the affected area during the procedure.
Program progress
The undoubted advantage of this procedure is that it is painless.Experts use superficial anesthesia, so the patient only feels a slight stinging sensation in the affected area during the procedure.Anesthetic medication is administered shortly before the session begins, which can last up to an hour - it all depends on the surface area being treated.
After completing the procedure, the specialist will advise the client on necessary skin care and treatment with special medications.
After surgery, the skin does not require any additional care.It will take a little more than a week for you to get back to your normal pace, and recovery after surgery is more difficult and longer.
The face will be swollen for the first two days and then slightly red.Within 4-7 days, dead cells will begin to clear away, revealing fresh, youthful skin.
Indications for the procedure
If there is any doubt about the effectiveness of fractional laser skin rejuvenation, it is worth first checking the instructions, of which there are many:
- Acne.
- Pigmentation.
- Spider veins, stretch marks and scars.
- Enlarged pores.
- Wrinkles and crow's feet around the eyes.
- Sagging, aging and loose skin.
Contraindications for this surgery
As with any salon procedure, fractional rejuvenation has a number of contraindications:
- Benign and malignant structures in the treatment area.
- Oncological disease and ongoing chemotherapy.
- Dermatoses and photodermatoses in the surgical area.
- Herpes infection that occurs within one month.
- Acute infectious diseases and immune deficiency.
- Chronic diseases such as bleeding disorders, diabetes, thromboembolic diseases.
- Psoriasis and hypertension.
- A history of keloids or vitiligo, or a family history of vitiligo or keloids.
- Very tan and had been to a solarium recently.
- Pregnancy and lactation.
- Have used tretinoin within the past six months.
Fractional rejuvenation combined with other surgeries
This procedure is always performed only after an initial consultation with the beautician.If significant age-related changes are present, maximum results can be achieved with laser resurfacing rather than fractional rejuvenation.
In some cases, this is not possible without surgical procedures, i.e., endoscopic facelift, blepharoplasty, or introduction of wires for tightening.However, laser rejuvenation will help maintain and enhance the effectiveness of the procedure.It will complement their results and complete the client's look.
Procedures such as mesotherapy and plasma lifts, as well as hyaluronic acid-based bioregeneration, work perfectly with laser rejuvenation techniques.
