However, its use is full of large disagreements.This method of appearing maintenance has supporters, more frequently among surgeons and opponents represented in the person of dermatologists and cosmetologists.What is this procedure, what effects it gives and why cause such conflicting opinions?We will tell you in detail above all and answer all your questions.
Rehabilitation and attention after the procedure
The rehabilitation period takes 4 to 5 days.Immediately after the procedure, the skin can be reddled, chop, peel, seem unattractive.Therefore, it is advisable to cancel important issues the next few days after the session and pass them at home, relaxing.But it should be taken into account that all the consequences of the procedure are completely after approximately 2 weeks.An important role in what the result will be obtained after the fractional laser is performed by skin care after the procedure. If you want you to look good, you must pay special attention in the first days after the procedure.It is necessary to guarantee the optimal level of its moisture.After the procedure, the doctor will grant recommendations for moisturizing medications that should be used after the procedure.It is mandatory to perform the selected cosmetologist individually and recommended.
It is important to remember that in the first days after the session, sunlight should be avoided, since they can have a destructive effect on the new cells and cause skin bleach.In addition, you should not take a hot bath, visit a sauna, pool, swim in open ponds, sunbathe during the first month.Another rule after the procedure is to allow the skin to recover at its own pace.
Characteristics of the skin changes after the procedure and its duration
The laser grinding is carried out in the presence of acne eruptions, persistent wrinkles and pigments, rapes of skin relief, even in the presence of hypertrophic or atrophic scars, reduced turgidity and sagging skin, etc.On the face, neck, hands and other parts of the body.For these purposes, a carbon dioxide is generally used, which is a CO2 laser that affects the skin according to the principle of fractional photography.This procedure leads to serious traumatic (burned) damage of the skin.After the laser grinding of the CO2 laser, the area exposed to the region has the appearance of a continuous wound surface, since the fractional photothermolysis consists of the specific structural destruction to a depth of 2 mm in limited areas of the skin under the influence of high temperatures formed under the influence of energy (laser).Local changes after laser processing are as follows.
The main stages of the process process in the recovery period
The restoration of the wound surface begins 1 day after the procedure.Its duration with the proper observance of the conditions of care is from 1 to 2 weeks to 1 month, which is affected by the depth of the laser and the individual characteristics of the body.Immediately after the exhibition, the entire processing zone is sharply hyperemic, that is, it acquires an intensely red color, which is preserved more or less for approximately 1 month after the procedure.Its intensity depends mainly on the depth of laser penetration, the quality of skin protection against subsequent ultraviolet radiation and the influence of other irritating factors, as well as the individual characteristics of the blood supply in this area in a particular patient.
In addition to the pronounced hyperemia, the traces of the effect of the laser beam are notable throughout the area, which have the shape of reddish point holes located with each other at a certain distance.It is possible to appear in Parduzco places in places with the previous procedure of excess pigmentation.Moderate pain, source of burning and sadness, as well as in the cursed due to the sampling of serum hemorrhagic fluids.The first day, as a result of the active inflammatory process, blood flow and its liquid fraction in the tissue, the edema of the latter occurs and increases.When processing the face, it is especially pronounced in the periorbital region, in the lower eyelids area and the lower 1/3 of the face, which increases the volume.The swelling reaches its maximum on the second day and gradually decreases from the third and 4th day of the recovery period.
The first week after the photographic is the most difficult stage of the rehabilitation period.At this time, as a result of the damage and skin tissue, scabs are formed, whose extraction can interrupt the course of healing processes and lead not only to infection, but also to the formation of scar tissue.After the laser grinding of scars, these damages are very limited.Consequently, the measures in the recovery period are generally limited only to local attention for a small wound.Unlike individual scars, stretch marks are in a large area of the skin.In addition, due to the fact that these atrophic scars are under the level of the skin surface, its correction requires grinding surrounding healthy skin, rich in small vessels and nerve endings.In addition, in a significant area, not only a more pronounced pain syndrome occurs, but often the poisoning of the entire organism.At the same time, the risks of several complications associated with the infection of the wound surface increase, and the duration of the recovery period increases.
Care after grinding
It is impossible to reduce the recovery time, but it can prevent its increase and possible complications if:
Preparatory activities include the following:
- At least 1 month before grinding, it is necessary to protect the skin from ultraviolet rays using sun protection filters with a high degree of protection.The best option is laser grinding in the autumn-winter period.
- With a tendency to the appearance of acne eruptions before menstruation, the procedure is desirable after resolution.
- In the case of excessive pigmentation spotlights, the preliminary use of chemical peeling (retinoic acids, glycolic) and whitish drugs is necessary.

As bandages for a treated surface, napkins or sterile gauze bandages are used, covered with a thin layer of petroleum cosmetic jelly, but it is better to use special networks that are saturated with oil gelatin.During the day of the bandage, it is necessary to change at least 4 to 5 times, after the procedure several times to apply cold to the processed surface in the dressing, such as can be used by ice bubbles or cooling bags.Since a boot is distinguished from the burning surface, which dries with the formation of films and scabs, it must be softened by applying sterile numbad napkins in a 6%table vinegar solution, 1 tablespoon of which is previously diluted in 200 ml of cold water.The napkins must be changed as they heat them or every 5 minutes.This procedure is carried out before the ardor, pain and download stop of the Lord.
In the second week, after grinding with a laser, the skin in the wound area is restored slightly and epithelium exfoliation processes gradually stop.During this period of attention, in addition to hydration, maximum protection against sunlight is required.For this, the application of sunscreen before leaving the facilities to the street, facial protection with a scarf, through a headdress with wide fields or a medical mask is mandatory.A gradual return to the use of daily cosmetics for skin care and makeup is allowed.Tonal creams with greenish tones are very suitable to mask skin hyperemia.The rules listed are general.The necessary care procedures after a deep laser grinding and its volume are recommended by a cosmetologist, depending on the type of cosmetic deficiency and the depth of exposure.Laser peel is a modern cosmetological procedure that aims to maintain the health and beauty of the skin of the face.With their help, they achieve the rapid and universal elimination of facial wrinkles, vascular stars, postpartum stretch marks, scars (acne consequences), moles, age spots and other skin defects.
Face care after laser
After each session, the skin should be able to worry.At this time, restoration processes are activated in their cells.And so that they go in a certain way, it must adhere to simple rules.For 2 weeks, do not forget the use of hydration and creams with hyaluronic acid, hyaluronato masks.It is allowed to apply decorative cosmetics on the face every two days, but must differ in light and low fat composition.But it is worth forgetting the scrublands and the shells until the epidermis returns to its natural color.From the occurrence of hyperpigmentation, the creams of sunlight will protect: they are required, because especially after the procedure, the skin is vulnerable to ultraviolet.You will need creams with sun protection SPF 30 or more.It will help accelerate the recovery process after laser intervention by using vitamins to strengthen action, boiled and ozoned water washing, walking in fresh air.Proper skin care at the end of laser rejuvenation will help preserve the positive results obtained from this procedure.
