Fractional skin resurfacing
About
Fractional skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure used to improve the texture and quality of facial skin. This treatment utilizes laser technology or other devices to remove damaged upper layers of the skin, thereby promoting skin renewal and regeneration processes.
Candidate
Candidates for fractional skin resurfacing typically include individuals who want to enhance the appearance of their skin and address skin damage, including wrinkles, acne, scars, hyperpigmentation, or sun-induced damage. Candidates should also be in relatively good overall health.
Preparation
Preparation for the treatment usually involves a consultation with a dermatologist or an aesthetics specialist to assess the skin condition and choose the most suitable method of fractional skin resurfacing. During the preparation, patients should avoid sun exposure and discontinue the use of specific skincare products to reduce the risk of complications.
Treatment
The actual fractional skin resurfacing treatment involves the use of lasers or other devices that create controlled microscopic injuries on the skin. These injuries stimulate the natural healing and skin renewal process. The treatment can be less invasive than traditional laser skin resurfacing and usually causes less skin damage.
Result
Results of fractional skin resurfacing become visible over time as the skin regenerates. This includes reduced wrinkles, improved skin texture, and a reduction in skin damage. Depending on the severity of the issue, multiple treatments may be required to achieve the desired result.
Precautions
Post-treatment precautions include avoiding sun exposure, using sunblock creams, and following the skincare instructions provided by the specialist to preserve long-lasting results. It's important to consult with a qualified professional to obtain all the information about the treatment and determine if you are a suitable candidate.
F.A.Q.
Over the years, the facial skin relaxes and becomes thinner. There is a loss of volume of the fat pads in the face, due to which, under the influence of gravity, the face falls. The reason for this is mainly the loss of collagen, dehydration and other secondary factors such as smoking, stress, excessive exposure to the sun, poor diet and atmospheric pollution.
The laser emits light capable of removing the surface layers of the epidermis and softening the folds of wrinkles. This procedure leads to peeling of the treated tissue and natural renewal of the skin. In fact, the epidermis that remains underneath generates new cells and creates new collagen with an overall improvement in skin texture and elasticity.
Wrinkles around the eyes and mouth can be treated, as well as acne scars, age spots on the hands and face, and generally all other skin imperfections.
The laser has been used in aesthetic treatments for more than twenty years and has proven to be highly reliable and effective when used by qualified specialists and experts.
Everything is feasible in one treatment if it works in depth, otherwise several milder treatments with shorter recovery periods are needed to better solve the problem. It depends more on the client's wishes than on the doctor's decision.
During the first 48 hours, there is a sensation of heat similar to sunburn, but the discomfort disappears thanks to the creams recommended by the doctor. For the first 10-15 days after the treatment, the skin will look smooth and slightly reddish, which can easily be covered with light make-up without affecting your daily activities and social life.
For the first 48 hours, it is necessary to apply the cream prescribed by the doctor. Abundant hydration is a prerequisite for healthy skin recovery and prevention of potential complications. After that, it is important to protect the skin from the sun's rays for the next two months, and for full exposure to the sun, it is necessary to wait 4-6 months.
It is possible to remove deep scars with laser skin resurfacing treatment.
Because pain-relieving creams and compresses are applied to the face before and during the treatment, the level of pain is reduced to a minimum.
Potential side effects are redness, new pink skin, and as we stimulate the healing of the skin, we also stimulate the formation of capillaries, so new capillaries may appear on the body or the appearance of existing ones may deteriorate.
For our climate and the Mediterranean climate, it is recommended to do the treatment only in winter.
