External manifestations of skin aging are the appearance of wrinkles, enlarged pores and loss of skin freshness. The aging process at an early stage is almost non-existent, and, therefore, does not attract much attention, but already at the age of 25 the first signs of withering appear: turgor decreases, its texture changes. Later, the skin gradually becomes thinner - vessels become noticeable, areas with hyperpigmentation appear.
To restore the youthfulness of the skin, it is not enough to simply eliminate the visible manifestations of aging - it is necessary to restore the active activity of the cell, its natural mechanism of renewal and growth. Therefore, the skin will not only look fresh, but will look younger. Cosmetology made a significant breakthrough in 2004, when the fractional photermolysis method was introduced for the treatment of age -related skin changes. This technology has been proven and clinically tested - proven effective in wrinkle correction and skin rejuvenation.
Practical applications also show that fractional photermolysis is easily tolerated, safe and has high performance in the removal of cosmetic defects and the return of adolescence. Today it is one of the most reliable and promising methods of skin rejuvenation and tightening, recognized as the "gold standard" in solving cosmetic problems. In addition, it is a modern and safe alternative to surgical skin lift.
The course of the procedure, the feelings of the patient
One of the important and pleasant advantages of the fractional photothermolysis procedure is its pain - only the use of surface anesthesia is required, while the sensation is limited to the sensation of tingling in the area treated with the laser beam.
Anesthetics are applied before the start of the session, which lasts for an hour - the time varies depending on the size of the surface to be treated.
The specialist who performs the procedure immediately upon completion advises the patient, lubricates the skin with a cream and gives detailed instructions for treating it.
It should be noted that does not require special medical treatment for the skin and you can go home on your own.
Recovery period
If previously the surgical intervention required a long recovery period, then the fractional laser rejuvenation method does not require much time: no more than a week to return to a normal rhythm of life: time depends on the method of intervention (ablative, non -ablative). In the first two days after the procedure, the skin may be slightly swollen, on days 2-4, redness is observed, and on days 4-7, dead cells begin to peel off, freeing healthy and beautiful skin to breathe and grow.
You can be sure that the fractional photermolysis procedure makes your skin look younger soon - after the ablative exposure method, the skin is tightened immediately, and in general, after a week, wrinkles begin to smooth, the skin is even, skin texture improves, facial oval becomes clearer. To consolidate and maximize the results, several procedures are required - they are carried out with a difference of about a month.
Fractional laser rejuvenation lasts up to six months after the end of all procedures, and the effects last for several years. In many respects, the outcome is determined by the patient -led lifestyle - following a program to keep the skin rejuvenated, prescribed by a doctor, helps slow down aging.

Many patients, who want to enhance the rejuvenating effect, want to combine fractional laser rejuvenation in conjunction with the use of botulinum toxin injections and fillers. In this case, there are no contraindications - special studies have confirmed the safety of the effects of fractional lasers on collagen and hyaluronic fillers. For those who want to perform laser rejuvenation procedures and Botox injections on the same day, there are no limitations, but in order for the rejuvenation effect to be the best, it is recommended to first complete the fractional laser rejuvenation journey. .
