If age-related changes have already been reflected in the skin, but you do not want to resort to surgical interventions, we recommend contacting non-surgical rejuvenation clinics.We propose to consider one of these technologies – fractional laser rejuvenation of the skin of the face and body.
Working principle
What is that?Fractional laser rejuvenation involves the reduction of tissue using high temperatures generated by a laser beam.The principle of action is approximately the same as laser rejuvenation, but photorejuvenation is much stronger and may have more serious consequences.
The device is a fairly small device that looks like a battery.On its working surface there are special photoelements that are responsible for the penetration of the laser under the dermis.It should be noted that the temperature of this effect is slightly higher than that of a simple laser device for hair removal or acne treatment.It is driven very quickly, otherwise a minute's delay will burn and the dermis will simply be burned to the deepest layer.
The advertising of this procedure is very beautiful and seems fantastic.In one session, wrinkles and scars disappear, acne and rosacea are treated, you can even transform the oily type into a normal one.But during meetings you need to take into account reality:
- Wrinkles disappear, but not all of them.The epidermis is not responsible for the formation of deep wrinkles, only facial wrinkles;
- Scars don't disappear in one session;at least three are needed, each with a difference of six months;
- The dermis heals for at least two weeks.The first of these is the complete lack of a protective layer.You need to constantly apply various ointments and creams to the treated areas.You are not allowed to go out in the sun.
- It really hurts and it makes no difference what your sensitivity threshold is or whether the area was treated with painkillers or not;
- You cannot do photorejuvenation if you have acne.
Consequences of fractional laser rejuvenation
Immediately After the session, the face is very sore, despite the use of pain-relieving ointments and solutions.After 2-3 hours it becomes red and swelling may occur, especially in the upper eyelids, nose and eye area.The peak of swelling occurs the next day;There are cases when the entire treated area simply turns into a ball of water, so the body tries to recover faster after rejuvenation.To calm the situation a little, eat less salty foods and take diuretics.
On the second day Blood can be released in large quantities, subsequently a crust forms on the face, which hardens at the end of the day and becomes a very tough layer that protects the face from infections and colds.You can't tear it off or touch it at all, otherwise you can cause some kind of wound and simply tear the future new layer of the epidermis, leaving scars forever.Over time, the crust itself softens and falls off under the influence of regenerating compounds.
The recovery is just beginning a week later.The crust gradually becomes less hard and the face no longer swells.You need to enjoy the bright pink color of your face for another month and use medical creams with a protection level of at least 30.Although everyone talks about just one procedure, doctors will most likely say that it should be repeated after six months, and sometimes after three months.
This non-surgical rejuvenation works great for crow's feet and small scars after acne or rosacea, but DOT does not provide relief for deep wrinkles and scars.
Possible complications and how to avoid them:
| complication | Treatment methods |
|---|---|
| Everything hurts a lot | Buy an anesthetic cream (plenty) and apply it to problem areas |
| Severe swelling | Don't drink a lot of fluids;Some experts recommend using hyaluronic masks |
| The recovery process took more than two weeks | Take vitamins, do not walk in the sun, constantly lubricate your skin with a special regenerating ointment |
| What remains is a network of blood vessels and/or small but deep scars | Unfortunately, this cannot be cured.The beam left scars, this happens occasionally, over time they become less noticeable, in addition, after recovery, the face can be easily covered with foundation or powder. |
In addition, side effects after fractional rejuvenation cannot be ruled out - such as skin rashes, itching and other intolerance symptoms.Girls who are allergic to the sun or who have been diagnosed with vegetative-vascular dystonia are particularly susceptible to this.
Particularly Care after the procedure:
- Wash with boiling water only;
- Avoid going out in the sun for a week;
- To prolong youth and recover quickly, the use of ozone therapy (washing with ozonated water) is also recommended.
- Until the epidermis acquires its usual color, peelings and peelings should not be carried out - this damages the young and fragile epidermis;
- Rehabilitation lasts between two weeks and a month;If you drink vitamins and regularly ventilate the room or spend time in the fresh air in warm weather, everything will go faster.
Used equipment
The consequences depend not only on the skill of the doctor, but also on what hardware the salon or clinic provides.In most cases these are devices manufactured in Europe.Sales take place in specialized stores or on the official websites of manufacturers.Rental is possible for individual use.
Only professional equipment is used.There are different types: can be performed either ablatively or non-ablatively (the working surface is pressed against the skin or held at a distance).
Reviews of doctors and people
"I had quite large wrinkles on the nasolabial fold, I didn't expect any special results, I decided to just give it a try. All the problems really smoothed out, but after 10 months the effect was no longer noticeable and micro-scars remained. Small, but still visible. Now I'm thinking about whether to repeat it or not. I would rather sign up for biorevitalization."
"I am a cosmetologist with more than 7 years of experience and when laser surgery appeared, I decided that it was a panacea. A lot depends on the type of device and, of course, the skills of the specialist. If you choose the right depth of the beam, there will be no scars or anything like that."
Fractional laser rejuvenation is often recommended by the women's forum and experts.But looking at the before and after photos (especially a year later), as well as the possible consequences, it is worth considering whether this procedure is as good as it is claimed.
