Fraxel is a recently published procedure for rejuvenating the skin of the face with a special apparatus.This procedure is carried out using a laser that works on the basis of the fractionated photothermal molysis.
This technology influences the skin and damages its tissue.For this reason, the process of self -healing is started.All due to the fact that the cells start to produce hardly any collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
A feature of technology
The main feature of the technology is to maintain its effects and performance.It is also worth noting that due to the separation of the laser beam into smaller rays, the accuracy of the exposure increases significantly.
Types of laser fraction phothermiasis
Field photothermolysis is divided into 2 types:
- Ablative.The length of its wave is 2,940 Nm. This type of radiation is absorbed by water so that the beam influences all skin levels.The master can regulate the depth of the penetration that affects a certain layer for the maximum effect.
- Non-sheet.The wavelength can be adjusted from 1,320 to 1,540 Nm.This type of radiation influences deep skin structures, but does not affect the upper layers.Therefore, the stimulation of the production of elastin and collagen occurs, and cell exchange improves significantly.For this reason, the skin is tinted, its lethargy and sacking are eliminated.
Restoration of the skin occurs faster if it is not exposed to non-bativ.But after ablative, peeling and redness are possible.However, both types have high efficiency.
Laser fracel varieties
There are different types of Fraxel laser, each of which has its own characteristics.
Fraxel
It is the most common device.The length of its wave is 1,550 Nm and the depth of the penetration can be coordinated from 0.4 to 1.4 mm.It helps to eliminate age -related pigment spots, acne, sunburns, traces of acne and also fight with photographic glass.
Erby laser
This is a laser with a wavelength of 1,440 nm. It is most gentle from all models presented and is therefore used in sensitive areas of the face and body.It is also advisable to use it for people with thin and sensitive skin.
This model is also permitted on the mammary glands and on the skin of the eyelids.And the recovery phase after its use is minimal.
Re save dual
The model is more advanced because it combines 2 lasers and has a different wavelength:
- Erbiye - 1,550 Nm;
- Tulium - 1 927 Nm.
This model is used to remove scars and scars, depth and small wrinkles, remove the pigmentation and removal of the post -acne.
Re couple
Of all the models presented, the most aggressive.Therefore, they are only treated with deep layers of the epidermis.This device can even remove deep folds on the face and neck.It can also be coordinated with scars and scars.
The advantages or damage to the laser
Advanced technology enables you to influence the necessary skin areas evenly.And thanks to the economical exposure and a small diameter of the processed zone (70 - 150 mn), there are no scars.The regeneration takes place in a very short time and rarely lasts longer than a day.
The barrier function of the skin does not suffer from radiation, so that an infection is completely excluded.The laser does not affect the internal organs and only affects the skin.
Therefore, we can say that the influence of the laser is significantly more benefit than damage.
Indications
The laser has very extensive.The testimony to the procedures with Fraxel is:
- Age -related pigmentation;
- Acne;
- Skin photo colleague;
- Sunburn;
- Traces of acne;
- small and deep folds;
- Scars and scars;
- Skin pigmentation;
- Post -Acne;
- Stretch strips;
- sleepy, skin remuneration, reduced sound;
- Wide pores.
The device not only rejuvenates the skin, but also eliminates many aesthetic problems.
Contraindications
Nevertheless, there are a number of contraindications in which the implementation of procedures with Fraxel is strictly prohibited:
- Cancer neoplasms (both benign and malignant);
- Hormonal disorders;
- Acute form of infectious diseases;
- Inflammation in the manipulation zone;
- Dermatological diseases;
- Pathology of blood vessels and heart;
- Epilepsy;
- Tendency towards different bleeding;
- Autoimmune diseases;
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- Problems with blood clotting.
Do not carry out the procedure even during menstrual discharge, although this is more of a recommendation than contraindication.
How does the procedure work?
Before the procedure begins, the master evaluates the patient's condition of the patient's skin visually and determines the exposure methods, the depth of the penetration of laser rays.It also determines how many sessions may be necessary to eliminate a specific problem.
The process itself is carried out in several phases:
- With a special composition, the skin is cleaned and degreased.
- The lidocaine ointment with lidocaine is applied to areas that are processed.Wait 40 minutes.This will prevent pain.
- The ointment hit and the skin itself is lubricated with a lubricant.This can easily slide the device over the skin surface.
- Then work with the device itself is carried out.Initially a face with a small nozzle (sequence: forehead, cheeks, chin).After a larger nozzle, the neck and/or body are treated.
- The zone of the eyelids is recently treated with a narrow nozzle.
- After completing the laser, the lubricant is removed from the skin.
General recommendations before the procedure
Before the procedure, it is important to consult your doctor and ensure that this type of exposure does not give any contraindications.In a few days, it is advisable to take anti-minerpes medication to exclude inflammation.
Preliminary advice with a master cosmetologist who will carry out the procedure is not superfluous.It is likely to make additional recommendations.
Follow and possible complications
The normal consequences of the procedure include:
- Itching and burning (insignificant);
- Reddening of the skin (passes in 5-7 days);
- Edema;
- Dryness;
- Discomfort;
- Minor pain.
Despite the gentle effect of Fraxel, complications are still possible in rare cases.This includes:
- Pigmentation after inflammation has decreased;
- important edema;
- Erosion;
- Acne reinforcement;
- increased sensitivity to skin;
- subcutaneous bleeding;
- Significant redness that do not exceed for a long time (more than 7 days after the procedure).
The advantages of the laser Fraxel
The main advantages of such a laser pollution include:
- The possibility of exposure to different skin areas (even on the mammary glands and the area of the eyelids).
- The possibility of the point on the skin that only affects the areas that should be processed by a laser.
- The ability to renew the skin at a cellular level and to activate the inner resources of the body.
Expected results
After several Fraxel meetings, the skin should become healthier, the pores are narrowed, wrinkles and pigmentation are completely eliminated.In the case of scars and scars, their aesthetic species gets much better (the insignificant disappears completely).The skin relief is aligned, it becomes elastic and tinted.
Skin care after processing
In order to avoid complications and to "help" the skin as far as possible after the procedure, this is necessary:
- Sleep with an elevated head.This will help reduce the swelling.
- It is advisable to eliminate the use of alcohol and nicotine (or at least reduce the amount).
- Avoid exposure to UV radiation.Including protection against sunlight, use sunscreen for 3 months after the procedure.
- Do not use peelings and aggressive cosmetic products.
- Do not pull off crusts in the event of your appearance and peel them.
How often can you carry out procedures
The duration of the procedure itself usually does not exceed 20 minutes.However, the next session cannot be held earlier than 5 weeks later.The course of treatment is selected individually for each patient and has an average of 4-6 sessions.
The laser effect has a cumulative effect, so that the result can exist for up to 15 years.
Comparison -Fraxel therapy with other rejuvenation methods
Analog fraxel in relation to the effect are taken into account:
- Pay.Although it is an analogue, it is more effective as an additional procedure for Fraxel.
- Nano-Perforation.Although it is a gentler procedure, it is not that effective and the effect remains less time.
- Mesotherapy.In addition, such an aggressive procedure is more affordable in the costs, but has a much less pronounced effect.
- Point.Combines the effects of radio waves and lasers.This procedure has more contraindications.
The Fraxel analogue is also Fraxel.Every patient has to determine what is better for him personally, since the devices are similar with the exposure method.Although Fraxel has expanded functionality.
Cheap combinations
The greatest effect of the procedure can be achieved by combining it with others.For example, it is advisable to use plasmolifts or thermage at the same time with Fraxel.This will help to achieve the desired result quickly and maintain the effect for longer.
