The essence of the process

Laser fractional rejuvenation of the skin is literally "polished" with high temperatures. Actually, this is the essence of all cosmetic treatments with laser, but the operation of the partial form has its peculiarities. Let's start with the fact that this procedure takes place at a higher temperature, such as laser hair removal or acne removal. Laser apparatus, which controls the operation of the partial type, you have to juggle very quickly, because you can literally burn the skin. Therefore, as it is responsible for the operation of the trust only the most experienced beauticians.

By studying the information on laser rejuvenation on your web pages, it is possible to calculate such a performance is a wonderful and fantastic: disappearing, scars, wrinkles, acne, skin fat, will be normal — and all of this in one session? Is this all true? Disappoint you: no. Of course, this procedure is truly one of the most effective. Of course, the stress effects on the body after partial rejuvenation will be less than after other procedures. But the problem is still there, and in such a small amount. To tell you about them.

  1. You can't go straight out all the wrinkles. It works on the epidermis, you can only smooth out wrinkles, but also deep wrinkles that does not resolve.
  2. You cannot remove the scars and other unwanted education at one time. You will need at least three sessions. So between the meetings should pass in about 6 months, so that the total time of the procedures, which will be the year.
  3. Treat acne scars with fractional exposure is highly desirable. Acne can be combated with the laser, but you should choose a more gentle procedure, with exposure to such high temperatures.
  4. The procedure itself is not the most pleasant: discomfort, pain is inevitable. Some "anesthesia" here is not going to happen: discomfort (although somewhat smaller) will be, even if before the procedure for the treatment of skin anesthetic.
  5. After the surgery it is impossible to avoid the rehabilitation period, not the most pleasant feeling. The skin will heal at least two weeks, while during the week will not have the top protective layer. Therefore, after the procedure, you can't go out in the sun and should be smeared with special creams and ointments.

What could be the consequences?

For the first time, do not be alarmed, if after a session the skin will redden and burn. This is not a sign of failure of the operation, and is a natural reaction of the body. After a couple of hours after surgery may become swollen skin around the nose and eyes — is also natural. To edema passed quickly, the withdrawal of excess fluid from the body: take the diuretic, do not eat salty and spicy.

Waking up the next day after the procedure, you see the face of ichor? Then it is hardened and formed across the face of a nasty crust? Do not be alarmed, this is natural too. Phototherapy this type includes the removal of the upper protective layer of the skin — and under the crust formed a new one. Therefore, to touch the face, trying to disrupt the crust, it is impossible, in any case: that could get infected and then to remain with scars on the face. The crust will disappear by itself, restore tissues. This process will begin only a week after the surgery, wait until this time. And then about a month your face will be pink and very sensitive to light, so you need to use a protective cream.

Side effects after fractional rejuvenation too. The skin may be put, several days may itch, can be uneven color. All of that sooner or later the mines, but the feeling is very unpleasant. More likely to occur in patients with particularly sensitive skin, the girls with dystonia.

Care after fractional rejuvenation is the individual, but there are General guidelines. The washing with the boiling water, definitely not hot. Even better would be to use Ozonated water. Do not scrub and peels until the skin is fully recovered. Go out in the sun is not at least one week, another the week after that, you can only get at the face cream with a level of protection not less than 30. Well, you need to be paying attention to your body as a whole: sleep, take vitamins. With appropriate rehabilitation, to forget the discomfort you in two weeks!
