We live in the 21st century, a century of technology and opportunity. And when women were offered surgery to make their facial skin look younger and tighter, many immediately agreed to go under the knife. Fortunately, modern methods are not so 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 look at below.
Fractional skin rejuvenation
This is a unique modern technology based on the use of a laser as a stimulator of 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 thermal shock, the cell "wakes up".
- Cells that have lost their ability to "work" eventually die and fall.
- At the same time, healthy cells begin to multiply, as they now have to fill the empty space after the laser is working.
- This stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin. It is these two components that act as anti-aging substances.
To obtain a positive and almost invisible result, the laser beam passes through a division, thus forming a mesh. This happens thanks to a special device.
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 from the skin and the microzone itself undergoes slow healing, which ensures an effective lifting result in the first procedure.
- Non-ablative rejuvenation.When performing 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 efficient. Thanks to this, your skin will be able to look like a procedure such as exfoliation.
Important!For a complete and long-term result, it is better to perform a set of rejuvenation measures, while harmoniously using different rejuvenation methods, which directly affect both the deep level of the skin and the superficial level.
There are also other methods which are dangerous to implement on their own and have a very long payback period.
For example, resurfacing is a sequential evaporation of the dermis. After this procedure, you will have an open bleeding area that will heal in two months or more.
As for the DOT technique, or better known as fractional thermolysis, this method is only effective if performed by an experienced craftsman who knows exactly how to properly and effectively apply a chiseled effect to the skin area.

Reading and wondering about this technique on the internet, you might have read not only positive reviews, but negative reviews as well.
