“You are attractive and young no matter what!”- after making this decision, the woman goes to the aesthetic cosmetology center,
for advice on a suitable rejuvenation method.Regardless of the client's age, if the appropriate equipment is available, she will certainly be recommended a fractional laser rejuvenation treatment.
How Fraxel works
Fraxel is a hardware technique based on the action of laser radiation, which helps to rejuvenate and correct aesthetic imperfections of the skin.To carry out the procedure, a special Fraxel laser is used, which hits the skin with a large number of streams of ultrafine rays, heating it significantly.Under the influence of laser radiation and high temperature, micro-tears of the old skin occur, next to which areas of intact tissue remain.The cells of this tissue capable of regenerating ensure rapid restoration of the epidermis.At the same time, the vessels dilate, through which platelets and fibroblasts are delivered to the damaged areas.In one procedure, up to 25% of the old skin in the treatment area can be removed.
According to the principle of its effect on the skin, the Fraxel procedure is somewhat similar to mesotherapy, however the epidermis is injured with a laser, and no stimulating compounds are administered into the deep layers.Fraxel creates more microtraumas on the skin, which trigger a rapid regeneration process and give a pronounced lifting effect.This manipulation has no age-related contraindications and can be successfully used on any part of the body and face, as well as on any type of skin.
Indications for the use of Fraxel
First of all, the Fraxel laser is used for skin rejuvenation.
It stimulates cell activity, destroying collagen and elastin that have lost their properties and provides them with additional material for skin renewal.As a result, thanks to the synthesis of new collagen, a new structure is formed, wrinkles disappear and the skin becomes denser and more elastic.
Fraxel is successfully used to eliminate hyperpigmentation.Unlike other methods of spot lightening, laser beams do not destroy melanin, but the cells in which the pigment is synthesized and accumulated.In their place, new cells are formed which produce a quantity of coloring matter adequate for the current solar exposure.
The same principle is used to use the Fraxel laser to eliminate scars, stretch marks and post-acne.When the rays hit problem areas of the skin, they destroy unhealthy tissue to the required depth, stimulate the formation of new collagen and elastin and renew the outer skin.Fresh scars and recently appeared stretch marks can be eliminated in 4 procedures.
How skin renewal occurs under the influence of Fraxel
The duration of the fractional laser thermolysis procedure depends on the tasks facing the cosmetologist.The average duration of a face and neck treatment is approximately 20 minutes.Since pain may be felt during the session, the skin is pre-treated with an anesthetic gel.
After the session the skin becomes red and swollen until the skin cell restoration process begins.Tissue regeneration begins on the 5th day after manipulation.At this time, it is necessary to avoid sunlight, not take vitamins A, E and put aside cosmetics with these components.
Fraxel is repeated no more often than every month, as this is how long it takes to restore damaged skin cells.It may take up to 5 procedures to achieve the desired effect.
Those who have tried the fractional laser thermolysis procedure complain that it is “draining.”The effect of each subsequent session is better than the previous one: the skin is noticeably tighter, wrinkles disappear and the complexion improves.Even compared to chemical peeling, the relief is attenuated more evidently.However, after a certain period, in most cases 6 months, the results of Fraxel level out and it is necessary to resume the procedures.
Another point that confuses this technique is: “What's next?”If from the age of 25 you destroy your skin from the inside every six months, what condition will it be in at 30 and 50?However, I still lean towards traditional, proven methods of self-care.Maybe in the future my opinion will change.
