Every year, science presents more and more innovative developments in order to preserve youth.Fractional rejuvenation deserves special attention.This is a modern method of improving skin texture, thanks to which you can get rid of wrinkles and refresh your appearance without the help of a surgeon.The procedure has many positive features, including a short rehabilitation period and long-term results.However, those who want to improve their appearance should be aware of the contraindications of fractional facial rejuvenation.
Information about the procedure
It is not for nothing that fractional rejuvenation is popular these days.This development makes it possible to awaken the functions necessary for the production of new cells.Over the years, renewal in the upper epidermal layer of the skin slows down.Not enough young cells appear to make the skin look smooth and healthy.Similar reactions occur in the dermal layer below the epidermis.Since this is responsible for the elasticity and mobility of the skin, over time these properties of the skin are damaged due to the aging of the cells.
The procedure affects the tissues, stimulates the synthesis and production of new cells.The skin becomes tighter, wrinkles disappear, and its tone increases.
More information.The procedure is performed on any part of the body.Rejuvenation of the face, neck and décolletage is particularly in demand.The innovative method easily removes stretch marks from the abdomen, thighs and buttocks.
Species
There are two types of procedures:
- laser (fractional thermolysis);
- radio frequency (RF perforation).
Fractional thermolysis
Fractional laser rejuvenation involves working with a laser.A device that emits rays treats problem areas.The rays pass through the skin, heating it up and causing microscopic damage.The device used for the procedure does not provide continuous exposure.It damages selective fractions of the dermal layer and works on the principle of mesh perforation.In these places, old cells die.But healthy areas remain next to damaged areas.Tissue trauma is minimal.
The rejuvenation process begins in the damaged treated areas.Elastin and collagen fibers begin to be synthesized.Next, the neighboring cells, which were not affected by the laser beams, are included in the work.As a result, the skin is rejuvenated and tightened in the entire area of the body that the specialist worked with.
In contrast to laser resurfacing, fractional laser rejuvenation is a gentler method.The laser has a traumatic effect on the selected areas, leaving a large number of healthy cells behind.Thanks to this property, the skin recovers quickly.Long-term rehabilitation, as with grinding, is not necessary.
The beautician, on the other hand, performs fractional thermolysis in two ways:
- ablative;
- not ablative.
In the first case, the ablative laser passes through the epidermis and enters only the upper dermal tissues.As a result, after the procedure, damaged areas of the body are visible, which heal quickly.Because the impact is shallow, the skin is damaged more than with a non-ablative method.However, a noticeable effect can be observed after the first visit to the beautician.
In the second case, the rays penetrate the epidermis and as deep as possible into the dermis.Damage to the upper layers of the skin is minimal.All work is done in deep layers.The effect appears gradually.But this method gives a more permanent result than the ablative method.
Important!An experienced beautician will determine which method is suitable for the patient's skin.It is believed that ablative and non-ablative treatments should be alternated for best rejuvenation.
RF perforation
Fractional radiofrequency rejuvenation is similar to laser technology.Only the device works with radio frequency electromagnetic energy.The skin nozzle contains bipolar needle electrodes.They line up.The high-frequency energy is transmitted through the electrodes.In the dermis, this type of energy is converted into heat.Due to thermal effects, obsolete cells are destroyed.
The device works like a sieve.Some areas remain untouched.The treatment zones begin to recover and actively build new tissue, which gradually replaces all old cells.
The procedure takes about an hour and is almost painless.The slight redness that appears after the cosmetic procedure disappears within an hour.Within a month, positive appearance changes occur - the skin is better hydrated, the complexion becomes healthier, fine and deep wrinkles disappear.
Effect
Thanks to fractional laser facial skin rejuvenation and radio frequency, an anti-aging effect can be observed.The skin is rejuvenated in several ways:
- First of all, the skin acquires a healthy appearance and glow, becomes more toned and elastic thanks to the synthesis of collagen and elastin.The flabbiness disappears.
- Second, both fine and deep wrinkles are smoothed out.The procedure completely eliminates crow's feet.Pores are narrowed.Third, the complexion of the face or the area where the procedure was performed improves.The skin becomes a pleasant pinkish color without pigment inclusions.Fourth, no scars, stretch marks, post-acne scars, scars or capillary mesh will be left behind.
Listen!Another pleasant effect is the correction of the facial contour.After completing the rejuvenation course, the contour takes on a natural, tighter shape.
Indications and contraindications
We recommend the procedure to men and women who want to look younger, but basically don't dare to lie down on the operating table.

- pigmentation;
- increased dryness, peeling, keratinization;
- drooping of the upper part of the eyelid;
- excessive porosity;

More information.The procedure is not performed if the patient has blood clotting problems or if they have a cold or flu.
Shades
- To achieve the best effect, at least 3-5 procedures should be performed.20-30 days pass between each intervention.
- The duration of the procedure is 1 hour.
- Without anesthetic compounds, rejuvenating the body with this method is painful.Before using the laser, a special cream is applied to the surface of the skin, which reduces skin sensitivity and relieves pain.
- According to reviews, even after anesthesia, a slight burning sensation is experienced.
- Immediately after the procedure, there will be redness and swelling, which will last for about 3-7 days.This is practically the only negative in the rejuvenation program.
Preparation
Rejuvenation does not require any special preparation.It is best to meet with your doctor a few days before the procedure and learn all the details of the process.
Rehabilitation
More information.The innovative method means rapid restoration of the skin.The rehabilitation period lasts 7 days.After the intervention, the patient is not detained, he can go to his apartment.
Skin care measures after fractional rejuvenation:
- Do not expose the treated area to water for 24 hours after the procedure.
- An anti-inflammatory gel is applied to the tissue three times a day.
- Visiting the spa or swimming pool is allowed no earlier than 7 days after rejuvenation.
- You cannot swim in the sea during the first week.
- It is not recommended to sunbathe for 30 days after visiting the cosmetic clinic.
Fractional rejuvenation is one of the progressive and safe programs for eliminating skin changes.It is successfully performed on both young patients (for post-acne removal) and older patients (for skin rejuvenation).The effect of the procedure is long-lasting.Post-acne acne disappears completely, the rejuvenating effect lasts for about 2-3 years.
