More and more new services and opportunities appear in the hardware cosmetology market, for example, fractional facial rejuvenation.What is it, what is the uniqueness of the procedure and what are the results?We will talk about the specifics of the method, its consequences and features of recovery after the procedure.
Fractional facial rejuvenation features
The method of facial skin hardware treatment - fractional photothermolysis - aims to eliminate the top layer of the skin, which has the effect of exposure to time and the external environment.Due to this cleansing, skin rejuvenation occurs.Thermolysis is the destruction of tissue at high temperatures.Fractional thermolysis is not carried out completely on the entire surface, but only on a small part, the problem area 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 affect a small area of the skin, this leads to the destruction of the upper layer, the beam affects the deeper levels of the skin and activates the production of natural collagen and elastin.The heat effect of the laser activates cellular processes in the skin, rapid regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin occurs.
This procedure can cause pain, which the doctor may use superficial anesthesia to prevent.The procedure lasts about an hour;to consolidate the results, the cosmetologist can prescribe a course of several procedures.The retention period of the results can vary from 1 to several years, subject to the care of the lifting skin.
The result
The main result of the fractional facial rejuvenation procedure is the resurfacing of the skin, freeing the face from the top layer of keratinized skin, which gives the face a tired appearance.
Along with dead skin, dark and aging spots, fine wrinkles, and acne marks disappear.The new skin looks fresher and younger, it is more actively restored, so the rejuvenating effect increases in a few months after the procedure.
Dot and Fraxel
There are two different devices for fractional facial rejuvenation: Dot and Fraxel, the difference is based on 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 problems with skin aging, but also much more expensive.
The difference in the device is the degree of penetration into the inner layer of the skin;Dot has a wider spectrum of action, for example, it can help in the treatment of ingrown toenails or ENT diseases.Experienced cosmetologists can achieve the same results with both devices.
Indications and contraindications
Procedures for fractional facial rejuvenation are indicated for the appearance of facial wrinkles, "crow's feet" around the eyes, for loose and sagging skin, to remove scars and age spots.Usually, this procedure is prescribed to patients over 30 years of age.
This procedure is contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women, people suffering from cancer, infectious and chronic diseases, people with acne.
Restoration
Immediately after the procedure, the face is covered with healing ointment and a bandage is applied;after a few hours, the face begins to redden and swell, and a painful sensation occurs.During the first day after the procedure, you should not be in direct sunlight;you must use the ointment prescribed by your doctor.On the second day, the face becomes covered with a crust that cannot be removed, because this can cause infection and the appearance of scars that cannot be restored.
Skin recovery will begin in just a week;At this time it is better not to go outside, especially since your face does not look very presentable.The face remains bright pink for about a month and is very susceptible to injury;you need to carefully take care of the skin, lubricate it with special ointments and creams.
