Fractional laser resurfacing helps effectively rejuvenate the skin and remove cosmetic imperfections on the face and body. Fractional rejuvenation, being a worthy alternative to surgical facelift, is easily tolerated by the patient and has a very short rehabilitation period.
Therefore, modern CO2lasers with a superpulse mode give a beam that penetrates the skin so smoothly that the rehabilitation period after exposure to such a laser isvery short and lasts about two days. Erbium, neodymium and alexandrite lasers have a slightly harsher effect.
Why do you need laser resurfacing and how does it work?
Twenty-five years later, the first signs of skin aging appear: appearance of wrinkles, enlarged pores, changes in skin color and texture, loss of the sensation of skin freshness. Various cosmetic preparations give an unstable and superficial result. To truly preserve youth and turn back time, it is necessary to activate the normal functioning of skin cells, restore the natural mechanism of their growth and renewal.
The light beam heats up and evaporates the deep layers of the epidermis in a specific way. At the site of exposure, a "hole" forms around which tissue instantly contracts and cells begin to actively regenerate. The ray also affects the collagen fibers that form the structure of the skin and play a very important role in preserving the youth of the skin. Short-term heating of collagen fibers with a laser beam stimulates their renewal and growth. In view of the above, the effect after the procedure increases for six months and lasts at least two years.
In other words, the skin receives a heat shock, which activates its renewal, which leads to the elimination of various skin defects: wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, age spots. The result is visible immediately after the procedure, as there is an instantaneous contraction of the skin, which grows in six months due to the restructuring of collagen.
Fractional laser facial rejuvenation smooths out irregularities and scars, even after acne, smooths wrinkles, shrinks pores, evens out complexion and improves the clarity of your oval.
For maximum and long-lasting results, a multi-procedure course is recommended: 2-4 sessions per month.
I must say that fractional laser is the most optimal way to remove stretch marks, combining high efficiency and smooth effect. But for these purposes, a longer course is required.
