Fraxel - laser therapy and renewal of the facial skin

Fraxel is a recently released process for renewal of face skin with a special device.This procedure is carried out with a laser, which operates based on fractionated photothermolysis.

This technology pointed out the skin, damaging its fabric.As a result, the suicide process begins.All this due to the fact that cells are barely beginning to produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

Photothermolysis

One of the features of technology

The main feature of technology is the care and performance care.It is also worth noting that due to the separation of the laser foot to smaller rays, the accuracy of the exposure increases significantly.

Types of laser fractionated photothermias

The field photothermolysis is divided into 2 types:

  1. Ablative.The wave length is 2940 nm.This type of radiation is absorbed by water, so the radius affects all levels of the skin.The master can regulate the depth of penetration, affecting the maximum effect on a certain layer.
  2. Not blok.The wavelength can be set between 1320 and 1540 nm.This type of radiation affects deep skin structures, but does not affect the upper layers.This results in stimulation of elastin and collagen production and significantly improves cell exchange.As a result, the skin goes into tone, lethargy and its sagging cease.

Skin recovery occurs faster when they are exposed to non-Bative.But after the ablative, peeling and redness is possible.However, both types have a great efficiency.

The varieties of the type of laser

There are many types of Fraxel laser, each of which has certain properties.

Fraxel

This is the most common tool.The wave length is 1550 nm and the penetration depth can be set up to 0.4-1.4 mm.It helps to eliminate age -related pigment spots, acne, sunburns, traces of acne, and also fights the skin's photo glass.

Erby laser

This is a laser with a wavelength of 1,440 nm.This is the most gentle of all the models presented and is therefore used in the fine areas of the face and body.We also recommend using it for people with thin and sensitive skin.

This model is allowed even on the mammary glands and the skin of the eyelids.And the post -use recovery period is minimal.

Re Store Dual

The model is more advanced as 2 lasers combine and have different wavelengths:

  • Erbiye - 1550 Nm;
  • Tulium - 1 927 nm.

This model is used to eliminate scars and scars, deep and small wrinkles, removing pigmentation and post -acne removal.

Fraxel Re Store

Pair

The most aggressive of the models presented.Therefore, they are treated exclusively with the deep layers of the epidermis.This device eliminates deep wrinkles on the face and neck.It also cope with scars and scars.

The benefits or harm of the laser

Advanced technology allows you to evenly affect the necessary areas of the skin.And, thanks to the saving exposure and the small diameter of the processed zone (70-150 mn), there is no scarring.Regeneration takes place in the shortest possible time and rarely takes a day.

The barrier function of the skin does not suffer from radiation, so the infection is completely excluded.The laser does not affect the internal organs, only on the skin.

Therefore, we can say that the influence of the laser has significantly more benefits than the damage.

Indications

The laser can be used very widely.Confession of the procedures with Fraxel is as follows:

  • age -related pigmentation;
  • acne;
  • The leather photo colleague;
  • sunburn;
  • Traces of acne;
  • small and deep wrinkles;
  • scars and scars;
  • skin pigmentation;
  • post -acne;
  • stretch marks;
  • sagging, drying of the skin, reduced sound;
  • Wide pores.

Not only does the device renew the skin, it also eliminates many aesthetic problems.

Contraindications

Nevertheless

  • cancerous tumors (benign and malignant);
  • hormonal disorders;
  • acute form of infectious diseases;
  • inflammation in the manipulation zone;
  • dermatological diseases;
  • Pathology of blood vessels and heart;
  • epilepsy;
  • tendency to various bleeding;
  • autoimmune diseases;
  • pregnancy and breastfeeding;
  • Problems of blood coagulation.

In addition, do not perform the procedure during menstrual discharge, although this is more a recommendation than a contraindication.

How does the procedure go?

Before starting the procedure, the master visually assesses the condition of the patient's skin, determines the methods of exposure, the depth of the intrusion of the laser rays.It also determines how many sessions you may need to eliminate a particular problem.

The laser can be used very widely

The procedure itself occurs in several stages:

  1. Using a special composition, the skin is cleansed and deteriorated.
  2. Lidocaine lidocaine ointments are used in processed areas.Wait for 40 minutes.This prevents pain.
  3. The ointments collide and the skin itself is lubricated with a lubricant.This allows the device to slide easily on the skin surface.
  4. Then the work is done by the device itself.Initially with a small nozzle (sequence: forehead, face, chin).After a larger nozzle, the neck and/or body are treated.
  5. The eyelid zone is last treated with a narrow nozzle.
  6. After completing the laser, the lubricant is removed from the skin.

General recommendations before the procedure

Before the procedure, it is important to consult your doctor and check that this type of exposure has no contraindication.Within a few days, it is advisable to begin anti-Minerpes medicines to exclude inflammation.

Preliminary consultation with the master's cosmetologist will not be unnecessary.It is likely that you will provide additional recommendations.

Consequences and possible complications

The normal consequences of the procedure are as follows:

  • itching and burning (insignificant);
  • Redness of the skin (passes within 5-7 days);
  • edema;
  • drought;
  • discomfort;
  • Minor pain.

Despite the gentle effect of Fraxel, complications are rarely possible.They belong to:

  • Post -inflammatory pigmentation has fallen;
  • significant edema;
  • erosion;
  • worsening of acne;
  • increased skin sensitivity;
  • subcutaneous bleeding;
  • Significant redness that does not pass for a long time (more than 7 days after the procedure).

The benefits of laser Fraxel

Before and after the rejuvenation procedure

The main benefits of such a laser exposure are as follows:

  • Possibility of exposure to different areas of the skin (even in the mammary glands and eyelids).
  • The point effect is the potential for the skin, only the areas that need to be processed with a laser.
  • The ability to renew the skin at the cellular level, activating the body's internal resources.

Expected result

After several Fraxel seats, the skin should become healthier, pores are narrowed, wrinkles and pigmentation disappear completely.For scars and scars, their aesthetic species will be much better (the insignificant disappears completely).The skin relieves, elastic and toned.

Skin care after processing

Avoiding complications and "helping" the skin as much as possible after the procedure:

  • Sleep with a raised head.This helps to reduce swelling.
  • We recommend eliminating the use of alcohol and nicotine (or at least reducing the amount).
  • Avoid exposure to UV radiation.Including sunlight protection, use sunscreen for 3 months after the procedure.
  • Do not use shrubs and aggressive cosmetic products.
  • Do not break the bark and peeling when they appear.

How often can you do the procedures

The duration of the procedure itself is usually not exceeding 20 minutes.But the next meeting can be held at the earliest 5 weeks later.The course of treatment is selected separately for each patient and an average of 4-6 sessions are held.

The laser effect has a cumulative effect, so the result can exist for up to 15 years.

Comparative Fraxel Treatment with other rejuvenation methods

Analog Fraxel is considered for effect:

The laser effect has a cumulative effect
  • Termage.Although this is an analog, more effective as a further procedure for Fraxel.
  • Nano perforation.Although this is a gentler procedure, it is not as effective and the effect remains less time.
  • Mesotherapy.It is not such an aggressive procedure, and it also has a more affordable, but much less pronounced effect.
  • Point.It combines the effects of radio waves and laser.There are several contraindications to this procedure.

The Fraxel analog is also Fraxel.However, what is better for him personally, all patients must determine in themselves, as the devices are similar to the exposure method.Although Fraxel has expanded its functionality.

Favorable combinations

The greatest effect of the procedure can be achieved by combining it with others.For example, it is advisable to use plasmolification or the product at the same time with the Fraxel.This helps to quickly achieve the desired result and the effect for a longer period of time.
