Fractional laser: advantages and disadvantages

Everyone dreams of a beautiful, young and healthy skin. But, unfortunately, its aging is an inevitable process. After thirty-five years, the skin begins to lose elasticity and tone, the amount of enlarged pores, wrinkles and pigment spots increases.

But in this situation you should not give up.

In 2004, the first time a fractional laser was used for cosmetic purposes. This technology was developed by the American company Palomar Medical Technologies. At present, a large number of manufacturers have appeared, which offer such a product in Russia.

Despite the high cost, laser grinding is very popular. The fact is that this is a non-surgical rejuvenation and full skin renewal. The procedures are painless and very effective due to the unique properties that a fractional laser has. The patient's feedback confirms this.

Fractional laser is able to combine simultaneous facelift and eyelid plastic. The device performs a point action. With the help of the ray, a portion of sagging old skin is removed. At the same place, the cells begin to regenerate. Due to the point effect, accelerated synthesis of collagen and elastin is caused, which is able to completely renew the epidermis.

The client needs to keep in mind that after a procedure no more than two days, there is a small swelling and significant redness. These consequences will go away, and the skin will look visually young, taut and fresh.

Let us consider in more detail the advantages of this method.

Fractional laser will significantly reduce the process of rehabilitation, as bruises and bruises disappear quickly enough. The skin on the area of exposure will be considerably tightened, its structure will improve and the color will equalize.

Due to the fact that the fractional laser acts on the lower layer of the epidermis, it is possible to rejuvenate for a long time. And this method can be applied to any part of the body and face.

The laser beam is able to quickly smooth out old scars, pigment spots, wrinkles, dilated pores, stretch marks, the consequences of acne and any age defects. Therefore, after the procedure it will be possible to forget about masking pencils for a long time.

But, naturally, this method of rejuvenation has a number of shortcomings.

First, the sessions are quite expensive, and to achieve the optimal result, at least five procedures will be required.

Secondly, there is a postoperative period (six months). During this time interval, prolonged exposure to the sun and the use of cleansing scrubs are prohibited.

Thirdly, a fractional laser is not allowed for everyone. It can not be done in patients with psoriasis, allergies, infectious and inflammatory processes on the skin.

Fourth, the impact of cumulative procedures. Therefore, the effect will be visible only after three or four procedures.

Naturally, this method of rejuvenation has already caused a storm of controversy and emotion. The choice is for women to use the capabilities of a fractional laser, or not.
