In modern medicine, a large number of hardware techniques and non-hardware procedures are now used to solve the problems of young and aging skin, but you should not confuse photo and elos rejuvenation procedures with fractional rejuvenation - thermolysis. fractional.
Fractional thermolysis is a controlled, effective and safe way to rejuvenate, eliminate various cosmetic defects using a laser, suitable for both aging and young skin. During the operation, a laser beam the thickness of a human hair is formed. For a flash 1-1. 5 cm square in size, the laser "pierces" many micro-wounds (laser micro-incisions) in the skin. Around each of them, unaffected areas remain and the damage caused by the laser pulses prompts the restoration of the skin structure over the entire treated surface.
Consider the technology itself. "Fractional" ablative (ablative) rejuvenation is in close interaction with "traditional", where fractional ablative (ablative) rejuvenation, due to its "point" radiation, generates microthermal damage zones (MTZ), alternating with untreated tissue . Consequently, healing is much faster (only 1-2 days), allowing you to immediately return to your normal lifestyle.
The laser's job is to destroy extremely small portions of old collagen and elastin, and the preserved cells around the affected areas "wake up" and begin to intensively rebuild the damaged area. Recycled collagen and elastin, as well as other proteins coagulated by the laser in the affected area, are involved in tissue regeneration. A new, functionally active skin is formed with all the properties of a young woman.
The therapeutic effect is determined by the location of microscopic areas on the skin.
Exposure areas: face (including upper and lower eyelids, crow's feet), forehead, brow region, temporal region, cheeks, nose, nasolabial triangle, chin, neck, cleavage, hands, forearms, mammary glands, abdomen, back , thighs, gluteal region and other areas.
Fractional thermolysis allows:
- achieve a rejuvenating effect on the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, back of the hand;
- eliminate wrinkles in the sensitive and delicate area of the eyes ("crow's feet");
- remove age spots (increased pigmentation, melasma);
- significantly smooth scars, up to complete disappearance, postoperative and traumatic (after cuts and burns);
- combat stretch marks on the skin;
- correct the effects of acne (post-acne);
- decreased skin tone;
- an alternative to deep chemical peels.
How is the procedure going? Before starting the treatment, the skin is cleansed with an antiseptic. The doctor establishes the necessary parameters in each specific case for the operation of the laser.
Fractional thermolysis is carried out directly with the help of a special accessory, which makes it possible to maintain the same distance from the "start" of the light beam to the skin.
During the session, the "flash" of the laser gives you a sensation comparable to a tingling sensation. The procedure ends with the application of a nourishing and soothing cream.
The duration of the session and the number of procedures depends on the area of the treated area and the problem that is solved.
After the procedure, the rehabilitation period is minimal. The rapid re-epithelialization process ensures restoration of the epidermal barrier, reduction of erythema and immediate clinical results ("stretching" of the tissue due to the selective parameters of thermal radiation). The tissue reaction in the form of slight edema and redness of the skin persists for one or two days. The flaking that is natural after this procedure is removed with light scrubs and moisturizer.
In order for the rehabilitation period to run smoothly and the result obtained for a long time, it is necessary to follow all the doctor's instructions for caring for delicate skin at home!
