Fractional laser rejuvenation helps to effectively rejuvenate the skin and eliminate aesthetic defects of the face and body. Fragmented facial rejuvenation, which is a worthy alternative to surgical facelift, is easily tolerated by the patient and has a very short rehabilitation period.
Thus, modern CO2- lasers with super pulsating mode provide a beam that penetrates so deep into the skin that the rehabilitation period after contact with such a laser is very short and lasts about two days. . Erbium, neodymium, and alexandrite lasers have a slightly rougher effect.
Why laser rejuvenation and how does it work?
After twenty-five years, the first signs of skin aging appear: wrinkles, enlarged pores, changes in skin color and texture, loss of skin freshness. Various cosmetic preparations give unstable and superficial results. In order to truly preserve youth and reverse the clock, the normal functioning of skin cells must be activated, and the natural mechanism for their growth and renewal must be restored.
The light beam purposefully warms up and evaporates the deep layers of the epidermis. At the site of exposure, a "hole" is formed around which the tissue immediately contracts and the cells begin to actively regenerate. The radiation also affects the collagen fibers that make up the skin’s skeleton, which play a huge role in preserving the youthfulness of the skin. Short-term heating of collagen fibers with a laser beam stimulates their renewal and growth. In view of the above, the post-procedure effect will increase within six months and last for at least two years.
In other words, the skin receives a heat shock that activates its renewal, which leads to the elimination of various skin defects: wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, age spots. The result is immediately visible after the procedure, as it grows immediately within six months due to the contraction of the skin and the restructuring of collagen.
Fractional laser facial rejuvenation leads to the smoothing of irregularities and scars, including acne, wrinkle smoothing, pore shrinkage, evening complexion and oval cleansing.
For maximum and lasting results, several procedures are recommended - 2-4 times a month.
I have to say that a fractionated laser is the most optimal method to remove stretch marks, combining high efficiency with a gentle effect. But these goals require a longer course.
