Hardware cosmetology for today allows you to rejuvenate the skin, get rid of its imperfections and even solve serious problems in the form of large scars and scars. Fractional photothermolysis is the latest development of laser technologies and becomes very popular, as it has the least amount of contraindications and side effects.
What is laser fractional photothermolysis?
This technique refers to the so-called negative stimulation of skin cells. This means that the laser beam inflicts tissue microscopic lesions (burns), which inevitably cause acceleration of regeneration. Restorative processes promote the development of new collagen fibers and elastin, complete renewal of the epidermis.
In contrast to classical laser resurfacing, fractional photothermolysis forms not extensive, but point burns in the thickness of the dermis. Thanks to this, the procedure is better tolerated, and healing is much faster.
The mechanism of exposure occurs in several stages:
- Admission for 5-7 days before the event of antibiotics or antiviral agents (if necessary and according to the doctor's prescription).
- Immediately before the procedure - a thorough cleansing of the skin, make-up remover, mild peeling.
- Eye protection with special glasses.
- Influence of the laser beam (through the nozzle) for 20-55 minutes on the selected zone.
- Applying moisturizing and soothing cream, gel.
Tummy tingling is felt during the laser photothermolysis, but in general it is completely painless.
Repeat the event is recommended every 3-4 weeks. The entire course usually does not exceed 4 sessions, its duration depends on the nature of the problem, the type of skin and the age of the person.
After the procedure, you must follow certain rules of rehabilitation:
- In the first 12 hours, do not use makeup.
- Protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation with creams with an SPF of at least 30 units.
- Refrain from changes in temperature, especially visiting a sauna or a bath.
- For 2-3 days, while redness and irritation persists, use on the treated areas lotion, spray or cream Bepanten, Panthenol.
After 2 weeks, the first visible results of treatment will be visible.
Fractional photothermolysis of stretch marks and scars
The presented technology helps to make these skin lesions almost invisible. Stria, which are scars after a sharp stretching of the dermis and epidermis, can be eliminated only by grinding and peeling. Photothermolysis works similarly, but more effectively and faster. Thanks to the procedure, the upper layer of the skin gradually dies due to microscopic burns and is rejected in a natural way. Simultaneously, new, healthy cells that produce collagen form in the damaged areas.
Scars, scars and post-acne also respond well to treatment by laser exposure. For 1-2 procedures, the skin relief is substantially leveled, and if you undergo several therapeutic courses, then for 1-1,5 years you can completely get rid of these cosmetic problems.
Laser facial photothermolysis for rejuvenation
Wrinkles are the folds of the skin, which are formed due to loss of moisture cells and insufficient amount of elastin.
- to increase the turgor of the skin;
- remove pigmentation spots associated with aging;
- Reduce the depth of already embedded wrinkles and prevent the formation of new folds;
- improve the color and texture of the skin;
- narrow the pores .
The safety of the laser beam makes it possible to use fractional photothermolysis even in sensitive areas around the lips and eyes.
