Fractional laser rejuvenation (fractional photothermolysis) is a procedure that improves the condition of the skin.
Using a laser, you can get rid of many cosmetic problems: remove small imitation wrinkles, forget about acne and age spots, increase skin elasticity and give it an even, even tone.
More on laser rejuvenation
Laser treatment allows you to achieve perfect skin and make the oval of the face clearer and more accurate.
To get a really noticeable effect and visually look five - ten - fifteen years younger, you need to visit more than one fractional laser procedure.
However, it will be possible to notice some positive changes after the first visit to the salon.
Fractional lasers used in cosmetology have a unique effect on the skin.
They stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the dermis, thus making the skin firmer and more elastic.
The cost of a procedure for fractional photothermolysis varies from five to twenty thousand rubles.
The price of the service consists of various factors: the quality of the laser equipment, the number of treated areas and the price of the care products used during the session.
Fractional laser skin rejuvenation around the eyes is a time consuming and expensive procedure.
The possibilities for fractional photothermolysis are wide.
Promises for a properly executed procedure:
- significant reduction of deep wrinkles on the skin;
- disappearance of fine expressive lines, acne, post acne and age spots;
- removal of stretch marks (stretch marks) and scars;
- narrowing of the pores and restoration of the structure of the epidermis;
- removal of the hardened layer of the dermis;
- stimulating blood circulation and opportunities for natural skin regeneration.
Most often, the skin of the face, neck and décolleté is treated with the help of a fractional diode laser.
However, there are frequent cases of skin treatment in other areas of the body: the stomach, the thighs and the buttocks. These procedures are done to get rid of scars or stretch marks.To get a guarantee of a quality procedure, you only need to communicate with a good beauty salon.

Types of laser rejuvenation
Fractional photothermolysis is a common name that combines several types of cosmetic procedures.
They all have a similar effect, which is to quickly lift the skin, restore its appearance and get rid of wrinkles.
There are two types of fractional photothermolysis, which you can read about in this section of the article.
Ablative rejuvenation is a procedure during which the main fractional effect is on the surface layer of the epidermis.
It is ideal for targeted removal of skin imperfections: pigmentation, scars, scars and expressive lines.
Non-ablative rejuvenation involves thermal effects on the lower layers of the epidermis, usually without affecting the upper layers.
This procedure is necessary to activate metabolic processes in skin cells, to form a new, stronger collagen framework of the epidermis.
To treat large surfaces, it is better to use this type of non-injectable rejuvenation as laser biorevitalization.
This procedure combines the capabilities of a diode laser beam, which activates the natural processes of tissue regeneration, and a powerful dose of hyaluronic acid, which penetrates the skin under the influence of a cosmetic device.
Laser skin rejuvenation can also be considered a rejuvenation procedure, but its effect is the most delicate and gentle.
In the process of laser recovery you can get rid of fine wrinkles, smooth pores and various irregularities, remove pigmentation and slightly increase skin elasticity.
In order to achieve a lasting and noticeable improvement in the condition of the epidermis, these procedures should be performed in courses, once every two or three weeks.
However, there is a method that will improve the condition of the skin in a session with a beautician.
4D rejuvenation is a practice that combines four procedures: SmothLiftin, FRAC3, PIANO and SupErficial.
Their skillful combination allows you to achieve noticeable improvement in the condition of the skin, to establish metabolic processes in the deep layers of the epidermis and to restore the lost elasticity of the dermis.
4D rejuvenation, which guarantees lasting results after a procedure, is a reality, not a marketing invention.
The only disadvantage of 4D rejuvenation, as can be seen from the examinations of women undergoing the procedure, is the price, which varies within fifty thousand rubles.
How is laser facial rejuvenation performed?
Before starting laser skin rejuvenation by fractional photothermolysis, all possible impurities must be removed.
Many beauticians recommend a three-step system for cleaning the epidermis: removing dust and makeup with a gentle cleanser, rubbing and toning.
Once the client's face is prepared for the procedure, the master turns on the diode laser and begins to apply his nozzle to problem areas of the skin, alternating all areas of the epidermis that require attention.
The thermal effect produced by the laser heats the inner layers of the skin, destroying the old collagen bonds.
This process causes the formation of new, stronger collagen fibers. Modern cosmetic lasers generate heat pulses with different wavelengths.
Their duration varies from 0, 2 to 0, 5 milliseconds.
Newly formed skin regeneration lesions caused by fractional photothermolysis differ in color from areas of untreated skin.
As a rule, they turn red immediately after the procedure and then cover with a thin crust. These symptoms disappear quickly.
It is not recommended to wash or wet your face for several hours after laser photothermolysis.
It should be treated with a special tonic or gel that you can buy at the cosmetics office.
In addition, you should refuse to use decorative cosmetics, as well as refrain from sunbathing or protect the treated skin with a cream with spf 15 and higher.
Pros and cons of laser skin rejuvenation
The procedures described in this article are very popular among women over the age of thirty.
In fact, the procedures have a number of advantages over traditional methods of rejuvenation - surgical and injection practices.
First, the process of skin recovery after laser rejuvenation lasts no more than a week.
Second, such procedures can be performed regularly, every few months, to assist newly acquired youth.
The wonderful effect that affects the skin after a course of procedures or after a 4D procedure lasts a long time.
Enthusiastic feedback from women who have undergone fractional laser rejuvenation shows that the result can last up to five to seven years.
Laser skin treatment does not leave unsightly scars or uneven skin.
The only side effects that may occur after visiting a beauty salon are a slight burning sensation in the treatment areas of the epidermis, redness and peeling. All of them will pass in a short period of time and will not leave a trace behind.
Another indisputable advantage of fractional photothermolysis is the fact that such procedures can be combined with any other cosmetic sessions.
If you do not have much free time and want to do not one, but several care procedures in the salon within one visit, then laser photorejuvenation of the face can be one of them.
The average time of a procedure can vary from half an hour to an hour and a half, depending on the complexity of the problem to be solved and the size of the treated area.
The main disadvantage of laser procedures aimed at skin rejuvenation is their high cost.
In addition, they should not be performed in people suffering from various acute skin diseases, as well as in pregnant and lactating women.
The methods for laser rejuvenation, which were described in this article, differ in the characteristics of the action of diode cosmetic lasers, the depth of penetration of their rays, as well as the specifics of the effect on the microthermal areas of the skin.
To find the type of procedure that is suitable for solving your problems, you should consult a dermatologist or cosmetologist.
