Modern methods of hardware cosmetology allow you to look quickly and effortlessly for 5-6 years younger without resorting to plastic surgery. Among the popular techniques, fractional laser rejuvenation stands out. Helps restore skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, remove age-related pigmentation. The method gives effect due to light radiation of different spectrum and power.
Characteristics of the procedure
Fractional laser skin rejuvenation is a non-surgical technology that allows millions of women to regain fresh and firm skin on the face, neck and décolleté. With the help of photothermolysis the keratinized layers of the dermis are removed. As a result, the skin relief is leveled, fine wrinkles are smoothed and the oval is restored. In the office of medical cosmetologists, specialists restore the charm of youth with the help of an innovative device. We will select the optimal set of procedures for you and ensure the renewal of all areas that concern you.
The effectiveness of the technology is based on a profound effect on skin cells. The laser beams form the thinnest lattice and penetrate to a certain depth. They heat some dermis cells to 70-80 ° C, leaving neighboring areas intact. Untreated areas are tightened to restore skin integrity and create a lasting lifting effect.
Laser rejuvenation can be:
superficial (ablative) |
deep |
The method copes well with the first signs of aging. The ray touches the cells of the epidermis at a depth of no more than 1. 5 mm. |
Radiation penetrates 5 mm. Under its influence, the production of collagen and elastin is accelerated, due to which the membrane framework is updated. |
Indications for the procedure
Fractional laser resurfacing is recommended if you have:
- pronounced pores;
- scars, wounds, stretch marks;
- dark spots;
- gravitational ptosis (appearance of wrinkles, drooping eyelids and corners of lips, cheeks);
- decreased skin elasticity and turgor;
- hyper- or parakeratosis (excessive growth of the epidermis and the appearance of a granular effect).
Fractional laser rejuvenation course allows you to achieve impressive results:
- tighten the skin on problem areas of the face and body;
- eliminate wrinkles around the eyes;
- Non-surgical eyelid lift
- elimination of age spots;
- make scars and stretch marks less visible;

Stimulating the formation of its own collagen and elastin fibers promotes natural rejuvenation and slows down the aging process.

Individual settings |
The laser device is designed for flexible adjustment of radiation power. The cosmetologist determines the parameters taking into account the patient's skin type and existing aesthetic defects. |
Easy recovery |
The tissue response to laser radiation lasts about 30-48 hours, while the rejuvenating effect becomes noticeable after a week. |
Safety |
A wide range of settings allows smoother skin treatment in the most sensitive areas: neck, mammary glands, décolleté. Laser fractional superficial surface renewal of the lower and upper eyelids is also possible. The nozzle of the device does not come into contact with the skin, so there is no risk of infection. |
Less traumatic |
In contrast to the method of cauterizing the skin in problem areas, after which the burnt crusts remain for a long time, the partial renewal leaves no such defects due to the fine adjustment of the equipment. The possibility of hyperpigmentation and scarring of the skin after the procedure is minimized. |

- Apply dexpanthenol preparations to the skin to accelerate cell regeneration.
A partial laser rejuvenation session can last from a few minutes to 1 hour. The exact time is determined by the amount of work and the area of renewal. Immediately after the session, swelling and redness appear on the skin. They can be stored for up to 2 days. The treatment area is then covered with crusts, which disappear after 3-10 days. During all this time, periodic treatment of the skin with soothing agents is recommended. After 2-3 weeks, the procedure can be repeated.
On average, the fractional renewal course includes 3-5 sessions. The maximum effect occurs after 3 months. after its completion. In the future, it is required to periodically undergo 1-2 preventive procedures per year to maintain the effect.
Skin care after a fractional laser rejuvenation session

It is recommended to refuse to visit saunas, swimming pools and baths for 10 days. You can sunbathe in the solarium no earlier than 3 months after completing the course of procedures. During this period, areas that have undergone photothermolysis should be protected from the sun with products with an SPF level of 30 units or more. Otherwise, the risk of hyperpigmentation increases.
To accelerate cell regeneration and eliminate the feeling of tightness and dryness, apply a healing cream to the skin for the first two days at intervals of 4-5 hours.
For additional deep cell hydration, a biorevitalization procedure can be performed 2 weeks after photothermolysis.
Within 10 days after the session, the use of scrubs and peels is not allowed. This can reduce the protective properties of the skin and slow down the regeneration processes.
After 10-14 days, moisturizing collagen masks can be applied.
Do not apply the patch to the damaged areas of the skin. Slows down the recovery process and can cause discomfort.
When choosing skin care products, pay attention to their composition. They should not contain glycolic acids and retinol. If these substances are present, it will be possible to use a cosmetic product only 2 weeks after photothermolysis and 2 weeks before the next session.
