Information about the procedure

It is not for nothing that partial rejuvenation is popular now.This development makes it possible to awaken functions for the production of new cells.Over the years, renewal in the epidermal top layer of the skin slows down.Not enough young cells appear to make the skin look smooth and healthy.Similar reactions occur in the dermal layer below the epidermis.Since it is responsible for the elasticity and mobility of the skin, over time, due to the aging of the cells, it is these characteristics of the skin that are disturbed.

The procedure affects the tissues, stimulates the synthesis and production of new cells.The skin is tightened, wrinkles are removed, its tone is increased.

Additional information.The procedure is performed on any part of the body.Rejuvenation of the face, neck and décolleté area is particularly sought after.The innovative method easily removes stretch marks from the abdomen, thighs and buttocks.

There are two types of procedure:

  • laser (fractional thermolysis);
  • radio frequency (RF perforation).

Fractional thermolysis

Fractional laser rejuvenation involves working with a laser.A device emitting rays treats problem areas.The rays pass through the skin, heat it and cause microscopic damage.The apparatus for the procedure does not provide prolonged exposure.It damages selective fractions of the dermal layer, acting on the principle of mesh perforation.In these places, old cells are destroyed.But the healthy areas remain next to the damaged areas.Tissue trauma is minimal.

The rejuvenation process starts from the treated areas that have been damaged.They begin to synthesize elastin and collagen fibers.Next, adjacent cells that were not touched by the laser beams are included in the work.As a result, the skin is rejuvenated and tightened over the entire area of the body that the specialist worked with.

Unlike laser resurfacing, fractional laser rejuvenation is a gentler method.The laser has a traumatic effect on selected areas, leaving a large number of healthy cells.Due to this function, the skin is quickly restored.Long-term rehabilitation, as with grinding, is not required.

For his part, the cosmetologist performs fractional thermolysis in two ways:

  1. ablative;
  2. non-ablative.

In the first case, the ablative laser passes through the epidermis and enters only the upper dermal tissues.As a result, after the procedure, you can see damaged areas of the body that heal quickly.Because the impact is shallow, the skin is injured more than with the non-ablative method.However, a noticeable effect is observed after the first visit to a cosmetologist.

In the second case, the rays penetrate the epidermis and as deep as possible into the dermis.Damage to the upper layers of the skin is minimal.All work is done in deep layers.The effect appears gradually.But this method gives a more permanent result than ablative.

important!An experienced cosmetologist will determine which method is suitable for the patient's skin.It is believed that ablative and non-ablative treatments should be alternated for best rejuvenation.

RF perforation

Fractional radiofrequency rejuvenation is similar to laser technology.Only the device works with radio frequency electromagnetic energy.The nozzle that acts on the skin contains bipolar needle electrodes.They are arranged in rows.High frequency energy is supplied through the electrodes.In the dermis, this type of energy is converted into heat.Due to the heat effects, the old cells are destroyed.

How fractional skin rejuvenation is performed

The device acts as a sieve.Some areas remain untouched.Treatment areas begin to regenerate and actively build new tissue that gradually replaces all old cells.

The procedure lasts about an hour and is almost painless.The slight redness that appears after the cosmetic procedure disappears within an hour.Subsequent positive changes in appearance occur within a month - the skin is better hydrated, the complexion becomes healthier, fine and deep facial wrinkles disappear.

Effect

Thanks to fractional laser rejuvenation of the facial skin and radio frequency, an anti-aging effect is observed.The skin is rejuvenated in several ways:

  • First, the skin acquires a healthy look and shine, becomes more toned and elastic thanks to the synthesis of collagen and elastin.The laxity disappears.
  • Second, both fine and deep wrinkles are smoothed out.The procedure completely removes the crow's feet.Pores are narrowed.Thirdly, the complexion of the face or the area where the procedure was performed is improved.The skin acquires a pleasant pink color without pigment inclusions.Fourth, no scars, stretch marks, post-acne, scars or capillary network remain.

Pay attention!Another pleasant effect is the correction of the contour of the face.After the rejuvenation course, the contour will take on a natural, tight shape.

Indications and contraindications

The procedure is recommended for men and women who want to rejuvenate, but generally do not dare to lie down on the operating table.
