Fractional skin rejuvenation - fractional thermolysis

fractional laser thermolysis

Modern medicine now uses a huge number of hardware techniques and non-hardware procedures to solve the problems of young and aging skin, but you should not confuse the procedures for rejuvenating photos and elos with fractional rejuvenation - fractional thermolysis.

Fractional thermolysis is a controlled, effective and safe way to rejuvenate, remove various cosmetic defects with the help of a laser, suitable for both aging and young skin. During operation, a laser beam as thick as human hair is formed. For a flash of 1-1, 5 square cm, the laser "pierces" many micro-wounds (laser micro-incisions) on the skin. Around each of them remain unaffected areas, and the damage caused by laser pulses gives impetus to restore the structure of the skin over the entire treated surface.

Think about the technology itself. "Fractional" ablative (ablative) rejuvenation is closely related to "traditional", where fractional ablative (ablative) rejuvenation, due to its "point" radiation, generates microthermal zones of damage (MTZ) alternating with untreated tissue. Therefore, healing is much faster (only 1-2 days), which allows you to immediately return to your normal lifestyle.

The job of the laser is to destroy extremely small portions of old collagen and elastin, and the cells preserved around the affected areas "wake up" and begin to intensively repair the damaged area. Recycled collagen and elastin, as well as other proteins coagulated by the laser in the affected areaA new, functionally active skin with all the properties of a young is formed in the regeneration of tissues.

The therapeutic effect is determined by the location of the microscopic areas on the skin.

Exposure zones: face (including upper and lower eyelid, crow's feet), forehead, eyebrow area, temporal area, cheeks, nose, nasolabial triangle, chin, neck, décolleté, arms, forearms, mammary glands, abdomen, back, thighs, gluteal area and other areas.

Fractional thermolysis allows:

  • achieving a rejuvenating effect on the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, back of the hand;
  • removal of wrinkles in the sensitive and delicate area of the eyes ("crow's feet");
  • removal of age spots (increased pigmentation, melasma);
  • significantly smooth, until complete disappearance, postoperative and traumatic (after cuts and burns) scars;
  • fight against stretch marks on the skin;
  • correcting the effects of acne (post-acne);
  • decreased skin tone;
  • an alternative to deep chemical peels.

How the procedure works. Before starting treatment, the skin is cleansed with an antiseptic. The doctor sets the parameters needed for each specific case of laser operation.

Fractional thermolysis is performed directly with the help of a special attachment, which allows maintaining the same distance from the "beginning" of the light beam to the skin.

During the session, the "flash" of the laser gives you a feeling comparable to a tingling sensation. The procedure ends with the application of a nourishing, soothing cream.

The duration of the session and the number of procedures depend on the area of the treated area and the problem to be solved.

After the procedure, the rehabilitation period is minimal. The rapid process of reepithelialization provides restoration of the epidermal barrier, reduction of erythema and immediate clinical results (tightening of the tissue due to the selective parameters of heat radiation). The tissue reaction in the form of mild swelling and redness of the skin lasts one to two days. Hatching, which is natural after this procedure, is eliminated 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 instructions of the doctor for the care of delicate skin at home!
