More and more new services and opportunities appear on the hardware cosmetology market, for example, fractional facial rejuvenation.What is it, what is the peculiarity of the procedure and what are its results?We will talk about the details of the method, its consequences and the features of rehabilitation after the procedure.
Features of fractional facial rejuvenation.
A hardware treatment method of facial skin, fractional photothermolysis, aims to remove the upper layer of the skin that shows traces 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 on the entire surface, but only on small, problem areas of the face, so the face is divided into segments that are treated.
The essence of the procedure is that the device uses a laser beam to affect small areas 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 thermal effect of the laser activates the cellular processes of the skin, rapid regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin occurs.
The procedure may cause pain, which the doctor can prevent with light anesthesia.The procedure takes approximately one hour;To consolidate the result, the cosmetologist can prescribe a course of several procedures.Duration of retention of results can vary from 1 to several years, subject to skin care.
Result
The main result of the fractional facial rejuvenation procedure is skin rejuvenation, freeing the face from the upper layer of keratinized skin, which gives the face a tired appearance.
Along with dead skin, dark and age spots, fine wrinkles and acne marks disappear.New skin appears fresher and younger, recovers more actively, so the rejuvenating effect increases several months after the procedure.
Point and Fraxel
There are two different devices for fractional facial rejuvenation: Dot and Fraxel, their differences are based on different approaches to the procedure.Dot is a more advanced approach, so performing surgery with this device is less painful and more effective in solving common skin aging problems, but also significantly more expensive.
The difference between the devices is the degree of penetration into the deep layers of the skin;Dot has a broader spectrum of action;For example, it can help in the treatment of ingrown toenails or ENT diseases.An experienced cosmetologist can achieve the same results with both devices.

Rehabilitation
Immediately after the procedure, the face is covered with healing ointment and a bandage is applied;After a few hours, the face begins to turn red and swell, and painful sensations appear.During the first days after the procedure you should not expose yourself to direct sun;You should use ointments prescribed by your doctor.On the second day, the face is covered with a caked-on crust that cannot be removed, as this can lead to infections and the appearance of scars that can no longer heal.
Skin restoration will begin only in a week;During 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;It is necessary to carefully care for the skin, lubricating it with special ointments and creams.
