In modern medicine, a huge 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 - fractional thermolysis.
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 operation, a laser beam is formed as thick as a human hair. For one flash of 1-1. 5 sq. Cm in size, the laser "pierces" a lot of micro-wounds (laser micro-incisions) on the skin. Around each of them, unaffected areas remain, and damage caused by laser pulses gives impetus to 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 zones of damage (MTZ), alternating with untreated tissue. Consequently, healing is much faster (only 1-2 days), which allows you to immediately return to your normal lifestyle.
The work 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 reconstruct the damaged area. The regeneration of tissues involves processed collagen and elastin, as well as other proteins coagulated by the laser in the affected area. A new, functionally active skin with all the properties of a youthful one is formed.
The therapeutic effect is determined by the location of microscopic areas on the skin.
Areas of exposure: face (including upper and lower eyelids, crow's feet), forehead, brow region, temporal region, cheeks, nose, nasolabial triangle, chin, neck, décolleté, 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;
- remove wrinkles in the sensitive and delicate area of the eyes ("crow's feet");
- eliminate age spots (increased pigmentation, melasma);
- significantly smooth, up to complete disappearance, postoperative and traumatic (after cuts and burns) scars;
- fight stretch marks of 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 treatment, the skin is cleaned with an antiseptic. The doctor sets the parameters required in each specific case for the operation of the laser.
Fractional thermolysis is carried out 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 sensation 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 depends on the area of the treated area and the problem being solved.
After the procedure, the rehabilitation period is minimal. The fast re-epithelialization process ensures the restoration of the epidermal barrier, reduction of erythema and immediate clinical results (tissue "tightening" due to the selective parameters of heat radiation). The reaction of tissues in the form of slight edema and redness of the skin persists for one to two days. The flaking that is natural after this procedure is eliminated with light scrubs and moisturizer.
In order for the rehabilitation period to proceed without complications, 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!
