Fractional laser rejuvenation (fractional photothermolysis) is a procedure that improves the condition of the skin.
With the help of a laser, you can solve many cosmetic problems: remove small imitation wrinkles, forget about acne and age spots, increase skin elasticity and give it an even, even tone.

Laser treatment allows you to achieve perfect skin and make the oval face clearer and more precise.
To achieve a really noticeable effect and visually look five - ten - fifteen years younger, you need to visit more than one fractional laser procedure.
However, it will be possible to notice some positive changes after the first visit to the salon.
Fractional lasers used in cosmetology have a unique effect on the skin.
They stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the dermis, thus making the skin tighter and more elastic.
The cost of one fractional photothermolysis procedure ranges from five to twenty thousand rubles.
The price of the service consists of various factors: the quality of the laser equipment, the number of treated areas and the price of the care products used during the session.
Fractional laser skin rejuvenation around the eyes is a laborious and most expensive procedure.
The possibilities of fractional photothermolysis are wide.
A properly performed procedure promises:
- significant reduction of deep wrinkles on the skin;
- disappearance of fine lines of expression, acne, post-acne and age spots;
- removal of stretch marks (stretch marks) and scars;
- narrowing pores and restoring epidermal texture;
- removal of the hardened layer of the dermis;
- stimulation of blood circulation and the possibility of natural skin regeneration.
Most often, using a fractional diode laser, the skin on the face, neck and décolleté is treated.
However, there are frequent cases of skin treatment in other parts of the body: on the stomach, thighs and buttocks. These procedures are done to get rid of scars or stretch marks.
To get a guarantee for a quality procedure, you only need to communicate with a good beauty salon.

Types of laser rejuvenation
Fractional photothermolysis is a general name that combines several types of cosmetic procedures.
They all have a similar effect, and that is to quickly lift the skin, restore its appearance and get rid of wrinkles.
There are two types of fractional photothermolysis that you can read about in this section of the article.
Ablative rejuvenation is a procedure during which the main fractional effect is on the surface layer of the epidermis.
It is ideal for targeted removal of skin imperfections: pigmentation, scars, scars and lines of expression.
Non-ablative rejuvenation involves thermal effects on the lower layers of the epidermis, usually without affecting the upper layers.
This procedure is needed to activate metabolic processes in skin cells, in order to create a new, stronger collagen framework of the epidermis.
To treat large areas, it is better to use this type of non-injection rejuvenation as laser biorevitalization.
This procedure combines the capabilities of a diode laser beam that activates natural tissue regeneration processes and a strong dose of hyaluronic acid that penetrates the skin under the influence of a cosmetic device.
Laser skin rejuvenation can also be considered a rejuvenation procedure, but its effect is the most subtle and gentle.
In the process of laser renewal, you can get rid of small wrinkles, smooth pores and various irregularities, remove pigmentation and slightly increase the elasticity of the skin.
In order to achieve a stable and noticeable improvement in the condition of the epidermis, these procedures should be performed in courses, once every two or three weeks.
However, there is a method that will improve the condition of the skin in one session with a beautician.
4D rejuvenation is a practice that combines four treatments: SmothLiftin, FRAC3, PIANO and SupErficial.
Their skilful combination allows you to noticeably improve the condition of the skin, establish metabolic processes in the deep layers of the epidermis and restore the lost elasticity of the dermis.
4D rejuvenation that guarantees lasting results after a single procedure is a reality, not a marketing invention.
The only minus of 4D rejuvenation, as evidenced by the examinations of ladies who underwent this procedure, is the cost, which varies within fifty thousand rubles.
How is laser facial rejuvenation performed?
Before starting laser skin rejuvenation by fractional photothermolysis, all possible impurities should be removed.
Many cosmetologists recommend a three-step system for cleansing the epidermis: removing dust and makeup with a gentle cleanser, scrub and toner.
Once the client’s face is prepared for the procedure, the master turns on the diode laser and begins to apply his nozzle to the problem areas of the skin, alternately treating all areas of the epidermis that require attention.
The thermal effect created by the laser heats the inner layers of the skin by destroying old collagen ligaments.
This process triggers the formation of new, stronger collagen fibers. Modern cosmetic lasers generate heat pulses of different wavelengths.
Their duration is from 0. 2 to 0. 5 milliseconds.
New skin regeneration lesions caused by fractional photothermolysis differ in color from the area of untreated skin.
As a rule, immediately after the procedure redden and then covered with a thin crust. These symptoms disappear quickly.
It is not recommended to wash or moisturize the face for a few hours after laser photothermolysis.
It should be treated with a special tonic or gel that can be bought in a cosmetic office.
In addition, you should refuse the use of decorative cosmetics, as well as refrain from sunbathing or protect the treated skin with a cream with a protection factor of 15 or more.
Advantages and disadvantages of laser skin rejuvenation
The procedures described in this article are very popular among women over the age of thirty.
Indeed, the procedures have a number of advantages over traditional methods of rejuvenation - surgery and injections.
First, the skin rejuvenation process after laser rejuvenation takes no more than a week.
Second, such procedures can be performed regularly, every few months, to support newly acquired youth.
The beautiful effect that is reflected on the skin after the procedure or after one 4D procedure lasts a long time.
Delighted reviews of ladies who have undergone fractional laser rejuvenation show that the result can last up to five to seven years.
Laser skin treatment does not leave unsightly scars or uneven skin.
The only side effects that can occur after a visit to a beauty salon are a slight burning sensation in the epidermal treatment areas, redness and peeling. Everyone will pass in a short time and will not leave a trace behind.
Another undeniable advantage of fractional photothermolysis is the fact that such procedures can be combined with any other cosmetic sessions.
If you don't have a lot of free time and you want to do not one, but several care procedures in one salon in one visit, then laser facial photorejuvenation could be one of them.
The average time of one procedure can vary from half an hour to one and a half hours, depending on the complexity of the problem to be solved and the size of the treated area.
The main disadvantage of laser treatments aimed at skin rejuvenation is their high cost.
In addition, they should not be performed on people suffering from various skin diseases in the acute phase, as well as pregnant and lactating women.
The methods of laser rejuvenation, which are described in this article, differ in the characteristics of the action of diode cosmetic lasers, the depth of penetration of their rays, as well as the specifics of the effect on the microthermal zones of the skin.
To find the type of procedure that is suitable for solving your problems, you need to consult a dermatologist or cosmetologist.
