The essence of the procedure

Laser fractional rejuvenation of the skin is literally "polished" with high temperatures. In reality, this is the essence of any cosmetic treatments with laser, but the operation of the fractional type has its own specifics. Let's start with the fact that this procedure is carried out at a temperature higher than the laser hair removal or acne elimination. A laser apparatus which control the operation of the fractional type, it is necessary to manipulate very quickly because you can literally burn the skin. Therefore, as the person responsible for the operation of the trust only the most experienced beauticians.

To study the information about laser resurfacing on its web pages, it is possible to calculate this operation is wonderful and fantastic: disappearing scars, wrinkles, acne, skin and the fat will be normal — and all this in a session? It is all truth? Disappoint you: no. Of course, this procedure is actually one of the most effective. Of course, the effects of stress on the body, after fractional resurfacing will be lower than after other procedures. But the problems still exist, and in a small amount. Explain them.

  1. You can't distance himself clearly from all the wrinkles. Act on the epidermis, you can only smooth out the wrinkles, but the deep wrinkles, therefore, no fix.
  2. You can't remove the scars and other unwanted education in just a moment. You will need a minimum of three sessions. So, between the sessions should happen in about 6 months, so that the total time of the procedures will be the year.
  3. Treatment of acne scars with fractional exposure is very desirable. Acne can be combated with a laser, but you should choose a more gentle procedure, with the exposure to these high temperatures.
  4. The procedure itself is not the most pleasant: discomfort, pain is inevitable. Some "anesthesia" here does not happen: discomfort (although a bit smaller) will be, even if before the procedure of treatment of the skin anesthetic.
  5. After the operation it is impossible to avoid the period of rehabilitation, not the most pleasant of sensations. The skin will heal in a minimum of two weeks, while during the week you will not have the top protective layer. Therefore, after the intervention you can't go out in the sun and need to be smeared with special creams and ointments.

What might be the consequences?

First, don't be alarmed if after a session the skin to redden and burn. This is not a sign of error in the operation, and the natural reaction of the body. After a couple of hours after surgery may be swollen and the skin around the nose and eyes — is also natural. To edema passed quickly, the withdrawal of the excess liquid from the body: take a diuretic, do not eat salty and spicy.

Waking up the next day after the intervention was seen in the face of ichor? Then it hardened and formed through the face of a nasty crust? Don't be alarmed, this is natural also. Phototherapy this type involves the removal of the top protective layer of the skin — and under the crust formed a new one. Therefore, to touch the face, trying to cut the bark, it is impossible in any case: it could infect themselves and then to remain with scars on the face. The crust disappears by itself, restore tissues. This process will begin only a week after the surgery, wait until this time. And then another a month of the face may be pink and very sensitive to light, so you need to use a protective cream.

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

Care after fractional resurfacing is individual, but there are General guidelines. Is to wash with boiled water, certainly not hot. Even better would be to use Ozonated water. Do not scrub and peels until the skin is completely recovered. The sun is not at least a week, and a week after that, you can get only having a facial cream with a degree of protection not less than 30. So, you need to be aware of your body as a whole: sleep, take vitamins. With a proper rehabilitation of forget discomfort you in two weeks!
