Looking young is the dream of any woman stepping out of her youth. Modern technology helps make this dream a reality. Fractional pyrolysis is one of the most effective ways to make skin elastic in a youthful way. This procedure stimulates collagen production, gives skin elasticity, eliminates fine lines, improves skin tone, brightens skin, and even narrows enlarged pores.
This procedure involves the use of very small, targeted laser beams that result in microscopic damage to the treated skin area. Laser irradiation increases the local temperature of certain skin areas, which inevitably leads to heating of substances inside cells and destruction of cell structures. In turn, this triggers the repair process, which leads to increased production of fibrous protein (collagen) and the formation of new epithelial cells. And the more collagen in the epidermis, the fewer wrinkles and other skin imperfections.
Signs of aging and how to deal with them
Women always dream of slowing down time, preserving their beauty and youth. Youth is not the same as beauty, but always attractive. Thick, lustrous hair, softly rosy cheeks, slim figure and smooth white skin - all these signs of youth work wonders on men. And if hair can be stretched and dyed, and shape can be created through training, things are much more complicated with skin.
The traces of youth gradually fade away. First, the shade of the epidermis changes - it becomes dull. The skin becomes less elastic, enlarged pores appear on it, and then wrinkles - first small, then deep. And now the reflection in the mirror says that youth has passed.
The aging process cannot be avoided, but it is possible to slow it down. Modern laser technologies allow you to stay young for a long time. Today, laser fractional pyrolysis is the most widely used.
Technical characteristics
The fractional pyrolysis procedure involves exposing the skin to a fractional laser beam. As a result, the laser beam turns into a tiny beam that hits microscopic areas of skin, damaging only 20 percent of the skin. The cells of the epidermis located in the spaces between the points of impact remain unharmed. The skin begins to actively produce collagen and elastin - the same substances, due to the lack of which skin aging occurs.
With the help of fractional pyrolysis, you can not only rejuvenate the skin, but also eliminate various defects, such as scars that appear after acne. This way, scars, scars and stretch marks on the skin can be less noticeable and the skin can be reduced.
Because the procedure is gentle on the skin, fractional pyrolysis can be used to rejuvenate even the most sensitive areas of the face, including the skin around the eyes.
Recovery time after the procedure does not exceed 4-5 days. With this method, you can solve a wide range of skin problems, regardless of the location of the defect. In this case, even large areas of skin can be treated. The procedure is virtually painless and in most cases does not require anesthesia.
Contraindications and side effects
The procedure has a number of absolute contraindications. Including:
- Psoriasis;
- Any wound in the area exposed to the laser;
- Foci of herpetic infection of the skin in the area of the procedure;
- Any inflammation in the area exposed to the laser;
- Varicose veins in the affected area;
- Systemic diseases of the immune system or blood;
- Diabetes mellitus (in the decompensated stage);
- Severe form of hypertension;
- mental illness;
- Ischemic heart disease in severe form;
- Are taking certain medications;
- Cancer;
- Tendency to form keloids;
- Vitiligo disease.
In addition, the procedure will have to be abandoned during pregnancy and lactation. Contraindications also include infectious diseases, which are accompanied by fever. The procedure should not be performed less than two weeks after a chemical peel and less than three weeks after sunbathing.
Side effects are relatively rare. Bright red or itchy spots may appear in the treatment area, but these should pass fairly quickly. Burning, peeling and scaling are relatively rare. Less often, scarring occurs at the site of exposure or changes in skin pigmentation, but these can be quite persistent.
During and after the procedure
Immediately before the procedure, the damaged skin is carefully treated with antiseptic preparations - this is necessary so that pathogenic microorganisms do not penetrate the epidermis through the slightest skin lesions. The process takes from 20 to 50 minutes, depending on the skin defects and the area to be treated.
In most cases, sustainable skin rejuvenation requires several sessions. Between treatments, at least three to four weeks should pass: during this time, the skin has time to fully recover. The rejuvenating effect increases gradually, reaching up to three months after the last treatment. After that, estheticians recommend performing the procedure once a year to maintain the results.
Immediately after fractional pyrolysis, there may be a burning sensation that disappears within a few hours.
Swelling and redness of the skin lasts longer - up to three days. During this period, the skin needs to be treated especially carefully. To accelerate the healing process, it is recommended to treat with creams and ointments with a high content of panthenol. After the swelling and congestion are gone, you should use creams with hyaluronic acid. In some cases, the esthetician may prescribe other skin care products.
In the first days after the procedure, it is necessary to avoid using too strong cosmetics, not going to the sauna, swimming pool, and limiting alcohol consumption. It is very important to protect the skin of the face from the sun: after the procedure, the sensitivity of the skin to ultraviolet rays increases several times. You should use the most effective sunscreen and limit going to the beach.
