We live in the 21st century, a century of technology and opportunity. And when women were offered surgery to make their skin more youthful and taut, many immediately agreed to go under the knife. Fortunately, modern methods are not as dangerous, but they are no less effective. After all, we are offered a fractional laser facial rejuvenation procedure. What it is, how it is used and what are the positive and negative sides, we will consider below.
Fractional skin rejuvenation
This is a unique modern technology based on the use of a laser as a stimulator for the functioning and efficiency of skin cells.
Why do cells under the influence of a laser begin to perform their functions? The answer is as follows:
- Due to the heat shock, the cell "wakes up".
- Cells that have lost their ability to "work" finally die and fall off.
- At the same time, healthy cells begin to multiply, because now they need to fill the empty space after the laser works.
- This stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin. It is these two components that act as anti-aging substances.
To achieve a positive and almost invisible result, the laser beam passes through a division, thereby forming a mesh. This happens thanks to a special apparatus.
Types of procedures
Cosmetologists also took into account not only the effectiveness of the procedure, but also tried to give a choice of the procedure, due to the possibility of choosing the depth of penetration and the nature of the effect on the skin.
In this regard, there are two types of anti-aging process, namely:
- Ablative rejuvenation.This type of procedure is characterized by the effect of a laser on the skin. This helps to remove microparticles of the skin, and the microzone itself undergoes slow healing, which ensures an effective lifting result during the first procedure.
- Non-ablative rejuvenation.When carrying out this type of procedure, microzones are also restored. A distinctive feature of this method is a deeper penetration of the beam into the layers of the skin, without affecting the outer layer of the skin. This process is longer, but also more effective. Thanks to this, your skin will be able to look like after a procedure such as exfoliation.
Important!For a full and long-term result, it is best to carry out a complex of measures for rejuvenation, while harmoniously using different methods for rejuvenation, which directly affect both the deep level of the skin and the superficial one.
There are also other methods that are dangerous to carry out on their own, and they have a very long recovery period.
For example, resurfacing is a sequential evaporation of the dermis. After this procedure, you will have an open bleeding area that will take two or more months to heal.
As for the DOT technique, or better known as fractional thermolysis, this method is effective only if carried out by an experienced craftsman who knows exactly how to correctly and effectively apply a chiseled effect on the skin area.

Contraindications for the procedure
Reading and wondering about this technique on the Internet, you may have read not only positive, but also negative reviews. Of course, we understand that, as many people, there are so many opinions.

Pros and cons of the procedure
Since we have already discussed all the advantages of such a procedure as laser facial rejuvenation, it remains only to briefly name all the pros and cons so that you can finally draw conclusions and even, perhaps, in a couple of days, become five or seven years younger.
The advantages of this procedure are as follows: elimination of skin imperfections in the form of small scars, acne, old dead skin, and various manifestations of wrinkles in different areas of the face.
