The fractional laser removes pigment spots, eliminates traces of acne and, most importantly, tightens and rejuvenates the skin. However, this procedure requires responsible preparation and high-quality rehabilitation. We are talking about the nuances of the mandatory program. And a cosmetologist will help us understand all the nuances of fractional skin rejuvenation.
Where do you start preparing for fractional rejuvenation?
First you need to remove active inflammatory elements on the skin (if any, of course). For example, moderate or severe acne, namely pustular or nodular inflammation, must be reduced to a mild stage before laser surgery. The presence of comedones in the form of black dots or small lumps with white liquid inside is acceptable, but the skin around them should be in a calm state and not have a characteristic reddish-bluish tint.
You also need to pay attention to whether there is a tendency to swelling. If it is present to a certain extent, hardware ultrasound lymphatic drainage should be performed preventively to minimize its manifestations after laser therapy.
The local dynamic micro-massage through the wave effect of the device causes pulsations in the skin structures at the cellular level. Lymphatic drainage helps to normalize local lymphatic drainage, helps to narrow dilated blood vessels and skin pores, has a positive effect on the cells of connective tissue, stimulates the production of collagen and the compaction of its fibers.
If the face is constantly swollen, when planning laser rejuvenation, it is recommended to undergo full lymphatic drainage: two sessions a week for one to one and a half months.
If there is only a slight tendency to swelling, one session is sufficient, which can be carried out directly before the laser treatment.
Which procedures can be combined with fractional laser?
The lifting effect of a fractional laser becomes more pronounced if you combine laser treatment with plasma therapy - intradermal injections of your own blood plasma, which contains useful microelements, peptides, hormones and vitamins. First, your own plasma is injected and then – after seven days – the laser treatment. Incidentally, regenerating injections of autoplasm significantly shorten the rehabilitation period after laser treatment.
Rehabilitation after laser surgery
You can wash your face 48 hours after the laser treatment. The main side effects after exposure to a fractional laser are: slight burning sensation (disappears in three hours); Redness (may last for the next four days). We recommend postponing the use of decorative cosmetics for four days.
Itching and active peeling tell you that the renewal process has begun. At this point, you should definitely not remove any pieces of skin that seem unnecessary!
A week after the laser session, you should visit a beautician: the doctor will check whether the rehabilitation is going correctly and how the skin feels. To correct wrinkles, the doctor may also recommend contouring with hyaluronic acid-based preparations or botulinum toxin injections. These effects make you even more attractive and fresh and maintain the anti-aging effect achieved by laser treatment.
Stages of the fractional skin rejuvenation procedure
Preparation
To ensure your skin is ready for professional use, you need to do your homework diligently. We need beauty products of all categories: cleansing, moisturizing, nourishing and regenerating.
With regard to fractional exposure, it is important to use the usual means to avoid allergic reactions.
rehabilitation
It is necessary to use a regenerating agent: a regenerating cream or products with a vitamin B5 derivative are ideal. Thanks to their light texture, they do not clog pores and provide the skin with sufficient moisture. During this time, it is very important to clean the wounds thoroughly and prevent infection. The use of thermal water is recommended.
Further care
Include beauty products containing lactic and salicylic acid in your skin's diet. The formulas should also contain vitamins A and C, which are important for the skin. It is necessary to use moisturizing and nourishing products. For products with sun protection factor, we recommend a cream with a light texture and sun protection factor 30.
