In modern medicine, a large number of hardware techniques and hardware-free procedures are now used to solve the problems of young and aging skin, but you should not confuse photo and link rejuvenation procedures with fractional rejuvenation - fractional thermolysis.
Fractional thermolysis is a controlled, effective and safe way to rejuvenate, eliminate various cosmetic defects using a laser, suitable for both aging and young skin. During operation, a laser beam is formed as thick as a human hair. For a flash of 1-1. 5 cm2 in size, the laser "pierces" many micro-wounds (micro-laser incisions) in the skin. Around each of them, unaffected areas remain, and the damage caused by the laser pulses provides an impetus for the restoration of skin structure across the entire treated surface.
Consider the technology itself. "Fractional" (ablative) ablative rejuvenation is in close interaction with "traditional", where fractional (ablative) ablative rejuvenation, due to its "spot" radiation, generates microthermal damage zones (MTZ), alternating with the untreated fabric. As a result, healing is much faster (only 1-2 days), which allows you to immediately return to your normal lifestyle.
The laser's job is to destroy extremely small amounts of old collagen and elastin, and the preserved cells around the affected areas "wake up" and begin to intensively rebuild the damaged area. Recycled collagen and elastin, as well as other proteins coagulated by the laser in the affected area, are involved in tissue regeneration. A new functionally active skin with all the properties of a youthful skin is formed.
The therapeutic effect is determined by the location of microscopic areas on the skin.
Areas of exposure: face (including upper and lower eyelids, crow's feet), forehead, eyebrow region, temporal region, cheeks, nose, nasolabial triangle, chin, neck, décolleté, hands, forearms, mammary glands, abdomen, back, thighs, gluteal region and other areas.
Fractional thermolysis allows:
- achieves a rejuvenating effect on the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, back of the hand;
- remove wrinkles in the sensitive, delicate area of the eyes ("crow's feet");
- eliminate age spots (increased pigmentation, melasma);
- significantly smooth scars, until complete disappearance, postoperative and traumatic (after cuts and burns);
- combats stretch marks on the skin;
- correct the effects of acne (post-acne);
- diminished skin tone;
- an alternative to deep chemical peels.
How is the procedure going. Before starting the treatment, the skin is cleaned with an antiseptic. The doctor defines the necessary parameters in each specific case for the laser to work.
Fractional thermolysis is carried out directly with the aid of a special accessory, which makes it possible to maintain the same distance from the "start" of the light beam to the skin.
During the session, the laser "flash" feels comparable to a tingling sensation. The procedure ends with the application of a nourishing and soothing cream.
The length of the session and the number of procedures depend on the area of the treated area and the problem to be solved.
After the procedure, the rehabilitation period is minimal. The rapid re-epithelialization process guarantees the restoration of the epidermal barrier, reduction of erythema and immediate clinical results ("hardening" of the tissue due to the selective parameters of thermal radiation). Tissue reaction in the form of mild swelling and skin redness persists for one to two days. The natural flaking after this procedure is eliminated with light exfoliants and moisturizing cream.
For the rehabilitation period to pass without complications, and the result obtained for a long time, it is necessary to follow all the doctor's guidelines for delicate skin care at home!
