The main indicator of a woman's youth is young and glowing skin. You can often hear complaints that facial skin has deteriorated in just a few weeks: dryness and wrinkles have appeared. The expert will immediately understand what it is about. This situation can occur due to a decrease in the production of female hormones. At this stage of every woman's life, serious hormonal changes begin, so a timely competent technique for skin rejuvenation is needed.
Fractional laser rejuvenation
Fractional laser rejuvenation is a strategy for skin rejuvenation in difficult times.
This procedure removes skin changes without surgery.
Fractional laser is the best option instead of aggressive laser exposure, photo rejuvenation, DOT therapy and chemical peels.
Fraxel is a laser that rejuvenates the surface of the skin and its deep layers. Unlike others, the fractional laser has a high stimulating ability to reproduce collagen with minimal traumatic effects on facial skin.
A laser beam passes through a filter that divides it into many laser beams. Therefore, a large traumatic area is not created on the skin, and areas of healthy skin between the treated areas stimulate increased collagen production.
Fractional laser can be used on any area of the skin, without the risk of complications and regardless of its phototype. The laser procedure can be performed at any time of the year, but respecting the rules for protecting the skin from the sun's rays.
Patients who have undergone this procedure can start working the next day. And all this thanks to competent laser settings.
