Fractional laser resurfacing

What is fractional skin rejuvenation of the face

In laser cosmetology, a special place has recently been given to fractional laser rejuvenation or DOT therapy.The procedure is carried out by the method of fractional photothermolysis, due to which the skin becomes elastic, tightened, scars, age spots, wrinkles and other skin defects disappear.DOT therapy is implemented through an aesthetic system developed by an Italian company and which has become the generally recognized "gold" standard for eliminating aesthetic defects caused mainly (but not only) by the skin aging process.DOT therapy has a number of advantages compared to other methods: it does not damage the skin surface as much as possible, and healing occurs quickly.This procedure provides skin lifting by reducing the skin flap and transforming its structure in 3-6 months.

Cost of fractional laser resurfacing.

The clinics offer laser facial rejuvenation using a modern device - a fractional laser from an Italian manufacturer.This system is based on the use of a carbon dioxide laser with a wavelength of 10,600 nm in fractional mode.The light energy of the beam in this mode represents individual point energy beams (fractions), under the influence of which multiple microthermal zones of damage (ablation channels) are formed in the deep dermal layers of the skin, alternating with undamaged tissue areas.Thanks to the presence of a modern laser module, a fractional scanner and a dermatological accessory, maximum effect and safety is guaranteed.

The main advantage of spot rejuvenation can be considered not only high efficiency, but also excellent controllability of the process during the procedure.That is, a cosmetologist, after a thorough examination and diagnosis of the condition of the patient's skin, independently determines the depth, duration and intensity of laser exposure.In addition, the specialist can take into account the client's wishes regarding the expected duration of the rehabilitation period, since the more actively the device works, the more time the body will need to recover.

Carrying out fractional laser rejuvenation.

Before starting the procedure, the doctor must determine the patient's skin phototype, its condition and identify contraindications.The cosmetologist will individually calculate the parameters and time of the procedure.Fractional skin rejuvenation is carried out under anesthesia;After half an hour, the skin is treated with a beam of laser rays, which are placed in the form of a grid.

After this, specific microtraumas appear on the skin, the thickness of a hair and several millimeters deep, called “thermal wells.”As soon as the healing of these microdamages begins, active regeneration of skin cells begins and maximum production of collagen, responsible for skin elasticity, occurs.

Unlike other procedures, when using DOT resurfacing technology, the laser affects a given area only once.This further reduces the risk of possible complications.

The session lasts between 30 and 40 minutes.The first results are noticeable after a rehabilitation period, which lasts about a week.The final effect can be evaluated after 3 to 6 months.Sustainable results can be achieved with 3-5 sessions at monthly intervals.The effect of laser resurfacing lasts 2 to 3 years.

Recommendations after the procedure.

For three days after the procedure, you should apply a cream with an anti-inflammatory effect to the treated area 3-4 times a day.Avoid procedures with thermal water for two weeks.For a month it is necessary to wash your face with thermal water or apply a moisturizing cream.It is also recommended to use a cream with a UV filter (from 30 SPF).

In addition to laser skin rejuvenation, you can sign up for laser treatment of scars, acne in remission and post-acne.
