Acting is a natural biological process that affects all the tissues of the human body, including the component of the appearance of a person. At the same time, facial tissues are more than others subject to aging, as they are constantly under the influence of environmental factors, chewing, facial and speech functions. Since the face is a kind of "business card" of a person, the issue of preserving and returning the youth of the face of the face is especially important and relevant. Among the many methods and methods used today to solve this problem, laser rejuvenation of the face deserves special attention.
The essence of this method is the fractional effect of the laser beam on the skin. The laser stream is divided into many subtle rays that affect the microscopic areas of the skin located at a strictly defined depth, and evaporates them. The intact cells located between these sites stimulate the active production of collagen and elastin - two main "building materials", which are less and less formed in the human body with age. After this procedure, the color of the skin improves, small and medium wrinkles are adjusted, bags under the eyes are removed and the oval of the face is pulled. At the same time, the rehabilitation period is minimized. Field laser rejuvenation can be used not only as an independent method, but also to improve the results of plastic surgery or laser grinding of the skin.
Lasers used for fractional laser rejuvenation
For the first time in the world, a patent on the principle of fractional laser impact was received in 2004 by an American company. Currently, laser systems are represented by a number of companies involved in laser technologies.

Absolute contraindications for the procedure are:
- Pregnancy, lactation.
- The foci of the inflammatory process in the zone of exposure.
- Psoriasis and dermatosa.

Advantages of the method of fractional laser rejuvenation
Due to the point effect, the skin damage is minimal, so that all traces after the procedure are already 3-4 days.
The method allows you to process large skin areas for one procedure, while the regenerative resource of the skin is preserved and activated, which provides rapid rehabilitation and a long increase in a positive effect.
The procedure does not require anesthesia, can be carried out in the zone of the neck, neckline and eye area.
Side effects are rarely observed. Possible complications include the temporary appearance of red-purple spots in the processing zone, insignificant and rapidly passing itching, activation of herpetic infection, a change in the skin texture, including burning, peeling, and the formation of crusts. Roubing, hyper- and hypopigmentation of the skin in the procedure area are extremely rare, but can be constant.
What is a full course of laser rejuvenation procedures
One fractional laser exposure session lasts 20-40 minutes, depending on the nature of the problem and area of the processed zone. Repeated procedures are carried out after 3-4 weeks. In total, 3-4 sessions are usually required. The maximum positive effect occurs within three months after the last procedure. It is recommended to conduct supporting sessions once every 10-14 months.
What to do after the procedure of laser rejuvenation of the face
A light burning sensation, which can be felt after the procedure, passes after 1-2 hours, and redness and small swelling can remain 1-3 days. During this period, external products (creams, ointments, sprays) containing dexpanthenol should be used. After the disappearance of the listed symptoms and a cream with hyaluronic acid is used until the next procedure.
You can take a shower and wash yourself already on the day of the procedure, but it is better to wait with a sauna and pool. Tonal cosmetics can be used a day after the procedure.
The use of sunscreen creams with a protection factor of at least 30 is mandatory, since at that time the skin is activated by the metabolism, and it becomes especially sensitive to sunlight.
After the procedure, it is necessary to adhere to the recommendations of the specialist who carried out the procedure. The choice of cosmetic drugs, the frequency and duration of their use are determined individually and depend on the type of skin and its features.
Laser rejuvenation is a very effective procedure. The most remarkable in this methodology is that then for several more months (or even a year and a half! ), The process of renewal and rejuvenation of the skin continues. This is very cool! But it must be understood that the procedure is initially quite traumatic for the skin, rehabilitation can be painful and will take more than one day (you will be "disintegrated"). And there are a lot of contraindications for laser rejuvenation. In order for everything to go as safe as possible and with a good result, it is necessary to contact the nameless salons, but to the clinics. Moreover, the clinics are proven. Only a doctor (! ! ! ) can determine whether it is worth doing the procedure in general, or you can, but you need to wait (heal inflammation, drink the course of drugs, etc. ).
