Fractional skin rejuvenation - fractional thermolysis

fractional laser thermolysis

In modern medicine, a large 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 refresh 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 old and new skin. During operation, a laser beam is formed as thick as a human hair. For a flash measuring 1-1, 5 cm square, the laser "pierces" many microplates (micro laser incisions) in the skin. Around each of them areas remain intact and the damage caused by the laser pulses give a boost to the restoration of the skin structure throughout the treated surface.

Consider the technology itself. Ablative "fractional" regeneration is in close interaction with "traditional", where ablative (ablative) fractional regeneration, due to its "point" radiation, generates microthermal damage zones (MTZ), alternating with tissueuntreated. Consequently, recovery 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 pieces of old collagen and elastin, and the cells stored around the affected areas "wake up" and begin to intensively rebuild the damaged area. Recycled collagen and elastin, as well as other proteins coagulated by the laser in the affected area, are involved in tissue regeneration. A new skin is formed, functionally active with all the properties of a youthful skin.

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, eyebrow 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:

  • to 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");
  • elimination of age spots (increased pigmentation, melasma);
  • visibly smooth wounds, until complete disappearance, postoperative and traumatic (after cuts and burns);
  • fight skin stretch marks;
  • correct the effects of acne (post-acne);
  • reduction of skin tone;
  • an alternative to deep chemical peels.

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

Fractional thermolysis is performed directly with the help of a special attachment, which allows maintaining the same distance from the "start" of the light beam on 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 and 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 rapid process of reepithelialization ensures the restoration of the epidermal barrier, the reduction of erythema and the immediate clinical results ("tightening" of the tissues due to the selective parameters of heat radiation). Tissue reaction in the form of mild edema and skin rash lasts for one to two days. Fishing that is natural after this procedure is eliminated with light scrub and moisturizer.

In order for the rehabilitation period to continue without complications, and the result obtained for a long time, it is necessary to follow all the instructions of the doctor for delicate skin care at home!
