Modern methods of hardware cosmetology allow you to quickly and effortlessly look 5-6 years younger without resorting to plastic surgery. Among the popular techniques, fractional laser rejuvenation stands out. It helps restore skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, eliminate age-related pigmentation. The method produces an effect due to light radiation of different spectrum and power.
Features of the procedure
Fractional laser skin rejuvenation is a non-surgical technology that helps millions of women regain fresh, firm skin on their face, neck and décolletage. With the help of photothermolysis, the keratinized layers of the dermis are eliminated. As a result, the skin relief is leveled, fine wrinkles are smoothed and the oval is restored. In the office of medical cosmetologists, specialists return the charm of youth with the help of an innovative device. We will select for you the optimal set of procedures and ensure the rejuvenation of all areas relevant to you.
The effectiveness of the technology is based on a deep point effect on the skin cells. The laser beams form the finest grating and penetrate to a given depth. They heat certain cells of the dermis to 70-80°C, leaving neighboring areas intact. Untreated areas are tightened to restore skin integrity and create a lasting lifting effect.
Laser rejuvenation can be:
superficial (ablative) |
Deep |
The method adapts well to the first signs of aging. The beam affects epidermal cells to a maximum depth of 1. 5 mm. |
The radiation penetrates 5 mm. Under its influence, the production of collagen and elastin is accelerated, due to which the membrane framework is updated. |

- pronounced pores;

- gravitational ptosis (appearance of wrinkles, sagging of the eyelids and corners of the lips, cheeks);

The fractional laser rejuvenation course allows you to achieve impressive results:

During this period, areas that have undergone photothermolysis should be protected from the sun with products having an SPF of 30 units or more. Otherwise, the risk of hyperpigmentation increases.
To accelerate cell regeneration and eliminate the feeling of tightness and dryness, apply a healing cream to the skin for the first two days at 4-5 hour intervals.
For additional deep cell hydration, 2 weeks after photothermolysis, a bio-revitalization procedure can be performed.
Within 10 days of the session, the use of scrubs and peels is not allowed. This can reduce the protective properties of the skin and slow down regeneration processes.
After 10-14 days, moisturizing collagen masks can be applied.
Do not apply the patch on damaged areas of the skin. This slows down the recovery process and can cause discomfort.
When choosing skin care products, pay attention to their composition. They should not contain glycolic acids and retinol. If these substances are present, it will only be possible to use a cosmetic product 2 weeks after the photothermolysis and 2 weeks before the next session.
