“Look attractive and young at any price!”- having made such a decision, the woman goes to the aesthetic cosmetology center,
for advice on a suitable rejuvenation method.Regardless of the client's age, if the right equipment is available, a fractional laser resurfacing procedure will definitely be recommended.
How Fraxel works
Fraxel is a hardware technique based on the action of laser radiation, which helps rejuvenate and correct aesthetic skin imperfections.To carry out the procedure, a special Fraxel laser is used, which acts on the skin with a large number of ultrafine rays, heating it significantly.Under the influence of laser radiation and high temperatures, microtears occur in the old skin, 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 reach the damaged areas.In one procedure, up to 25% of old skin can be removed from the treatment area.
According to the principle of its effect on the skin, the Fraxel procedure is somewhat similar to mesotherapy, however, the epidermis is damaged by a laser, and stimulating compounds are not delivered to the deep layers.Fraxel creates more microtraumas in the skin, which triggers a rapid regeneration process and provides a pronounced lifting effect.This manipulation has no age-related contraindications and can be used successfully on any part of the body and face, as well as on any skin type.
Indications for use of Fraxel.
First of all, the Fraxel laser is used for skin rejuvenation.
It stimulates cellular activity, destroying collagen and elastin that have lost their properties, and also provides them with additional material for skin renewal.As a result, due to the synthesis of new collagen, a new structure is formed, wrinkles disappear, and the skin becomes denser and more elastic.
Fraxel is used successfully to remove hyperpigmentation.Unlike other methods to lighten spots, laser rays do not destroy melanin, but rather the cells in which the pigment is synthesized and accumulates.In their place, new cells are formed that produce an amount of coloring matter appropriate to the current sun exposure.
The same principle is used to use the Fraxel laser to remove scars, stretch marks and post-acne.When 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 fresh stretch marks can be removed in 4 procedures.
How skin renewal occurs under the influence of Fraxel
The duration of the fractional laser thermolysis procedure depends on the tasks faced by the cosmetologist.The average duration of a face and neck treatment is about 20 minutes.Since pain is possible during the session, the skin is pre-treated with an anesthetic gel.
After the session, the skin becomes red and swollen until the process of skin cell restoration begins.Tissue regeneration begins on the fifth day after manipulation.At this time it is necessary to avoid sunlight, not take vitamins A, E and leave aside cosmetics with these components.
Fraxel is repeated no more than once a month, as that is how long it takes to restore damaged skin cells.Up to 5 procedures may be required to achieve the desired effect.
Those who have tried the fractional laser thermolysis procedure complain that it is “creeping.”The effect of each subsequent session is better than the previous one: the skin is noticeably tightened, wrinkles disappear, and the complexion improves.Even compared to chemical peeling, the relief is softened more noticeably.However, after a certain period, usually 6 months, the results of Fraxel level out and the procedures need to be resumed.
Another point that confuses this technique is: “What's next?”If from the age of 25 you destroy the skin from the inside every six months, what condition will it be in at 30 and 50?Even so, I still lean toward traditional, time-tested self-care methods.Maybe in the future my opinion will change.
