Fractional pyrolysis: skin regeneration and elimination of imperfections

Woman restoring facial skin with fractions

Looking young is the dream of all young women. Modern technology helps make this dream a reality. Fractional pyrolysis is one of the most effective ways to make skin elastic in a youthful manner. This process stimulates collagen production, gives skin elasticity, removes fine lines, improves skin tone, evens out sagging skin, and even shrinks large pores.

The procedure involves the use of very small, targeted laser beams that cause microscopic damage to the treated area of the skin. Laser irradiation increases local temperature in certain areas of the skin, which inevitably leads to heating of intracellular contents and disruption of cellular structure. This, in turn, activates the recovery process, leading to increased production of fibrin (collagen) and the formation of new epithelial cells. And the more collagen in the epidermis, the fewer wrinkles and other imperfections in the skin.

Signs of Aging and How to Cope

Women have always dreamed of slowing down the passage of time and keeping themselves beautiful and fresh. Youth does not equal beauty, but always charming. Thick, thick hair, a soft flush, a slender figure, and smooth skin—all these signs of youth have a magical effect on men. And if the hair can be stretched and dyed, and the body can be shaped by training, then everything is much more complicated with the skin.

The traces of youth are gradually being erased. First, the color of the epidermis changes - it becomes dull. The skin becomes inelastic, with enlarged pores, and then wrinkles—first small, then deep. And now the reflection in the mirror says that youth is over.

It's impossible to avoid aging, but it's entirely possible to slow down the process. Modern laser technology keeps you young for a long time. Today, the most widely used is laser graded pyrolysis.

Technical Features

The segmented pyrolysis process involves exposing the skin to a segmented laser beam. Thus, the laser beam becomes a small beam directed at a microscopic area of the skin, damaging only 20% of the skin. Epidermal cells located in the gaps between the impact points were not injured. The skin begins to actively produce collagen and elastin - the same substances that skin aging occurs due to lack of it.

With the help of fractional pyrolysis, you can not only rejuvenate the skin, but also eliminate various imperfections, such as the scars that appear after acne. In this way, scars, scars and stretch marks on the skin can be made less visible, and the skin can be loosened and evened out.

Because the procedure is gentle on the skin, partial pyrolysis can be used to rejuvenate even the most sensitive areas of the face, including the skin around the eyes.

The recovery period after surgery does not exceed 4-5 days. Using this method, you can address all kinds of skin problems, regardless of the location of the defect. In this case, even large areas of skin can be treated. The procedure is nearly painless and does not require anesthesia in most cases.

Contraindications and side effects

There are many absolute contraindications to this procedure. These include:

  • psoriasis;
  • any skin disease in the area irradiated by the laser;
  • foci of herpes infection on the skin of the surgical area;
  • any inflammation in the area irradiated by the laser;
  • Varicose veins in the affected area;
  • Immune system or blood system disease;
  • Diabetes mellitus (in decompensation phase);
  • severe high blood pressure;
  • mental illness;
  • severe ischemic heart disease;
  • taking certain medicines;
  • tumor disease;
  • Tendency to form keloids;
  • Vitiligo.

Also, the procedure must be abandoned during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Contraindications also include infectious diseases accompanied by fever. The procedure should not be performed less than two weeks after chemical peels and less than three weeks after sunbathing.

There are relatively few side effects. Bright red spots or itching may appear in the treated area, but these disappear quickly. Burning, peeling, and crusting are less common. Less commonly, scarring occurs on exposed areas or changes in skin pigmentation, but these can be fairly persistent.

During and after surgery

Before surgery, the skin of the affected area is carefully treated with an antiseptic - this is necessary so that pathogenic microorganisms do not penetrate the epidermis with minimal skin damage. The process itself lasts 20 to 50 minutes, depending on the skin defect and the area to be treated.

In most cases, sustainable skin rejuvenation requires several sessions. At least three to four weeks should pass between surgeries: during this time, the skin has time to fully recover. The effect of rejuvenation increases gradually, reaching a maximum three months after the last treatment. After that, beauticians recommend performing the procedure once a year to maintain results.

After partial pyrolysis, a burning sensation may occur immediately but disappear within a few hours.

The swelling and redness of the skin lasts longer - up to three days. During this period, the skin requires special care. To speed healing, treatment with creams and ointments high in panthenol is recommended. After swelling and congestion have disappeared, a cream with hyaluronic acid is recommended. In some cases, the beautician may prescribe other skin care products.

In the first few days after surgery, it is necessary to avoid caustic cosmetics, not to go to saunas and swimming pools, and not to drink alcohol. It's important to protect your face from the sun: After surgery, the skin's sensitivity to UV rays increases many times over. You should use the most effective sunscreen and don't go to the beach.
