Fraxel is a new procedure -this new to rejuvenate the skin, using special tools.This procedure is performed using a laser, which acts based on breakdown photothermolysis.
This technology affects the skin, damaging the tissue.Because of this, the self process is launched.All is due to the fact that cells are beginning to produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
Characteristics of technology
The main feature of technology is its effect and performance care.It should also be noted that due to the separation of the laser beam into smaller rays, the accuracy of exposure increased significantly.
Type of fraction of laser
The field photothermolysis is divided into 2 types:
- Ablative.The wavelength is 2,940 nm.This type of radiation is absorbed by water, so the beam affects all levels of the skin.Teachers can control the depth of penetration, act on a certain layer, for maximum effect.
- Not clinical.Adjustable wavelengths from 1,320 to 1,540 nm.This type of radiation affects the deep skin structure, but does not affect the upper layer.Therefore, stimulating elastin and collagen production occurs, and cell exchange increases significantly.Because of this, the skin becomes strong, the fatigue and sagging are eliminated.
Skin recovery occurs faster when exposed to non-BATI.But after ablative, peeling and redness is possible.However, both types have high efficiency.
Frax laser type
There are several types of fraxel lasers, each with certain features.
Fraxel
It is the most common device.The wavelength is 1,550 nm, and the depth of penetration can be tuned from 0.4 to 1.4 mm.It helps to eliminate age -related spots, acne, sunburn, acne traces, and even fight with skin photography glass.
Erby laser
This is a laser with a wave length of 1,440 nm.Of all the models presented, it is the softest, so it is used in the fine area of the face and body.It is also advisable to use it for people with thin and sensitive skin.
This model is allowed even in the milk gland and eyelid skin.And the recovery period after its use is minimal.
Restrict dual
This model is advanced, as it combines 2 lasers and has different wavelengths:
- Erbiye - 1,550 nm;
- Tulium - 1 927 nm.
This model is used to eliminate scars and scars, deep and small wrinkles, producing pigmentation and removal of post -acne.
Pairing
Of all the models presented are the most aggressive.Therefore, they are treated exclusively to the epidermal layer.This device can remove deep wrinkles on the face and neck.It also overcomes scars and scars.
Benefits or danger from the laser
Advanced technology allows you to even affect the skin area you need.And thanks to the hidden exposure and the small diameter of the processed zone (70 - 150 mn), no scars.Resuming occurs in the shortest possible time and rarely takes more than one day.
The function of the skin barrier does not experience radiation, so the infection is completely excluded.Laser does not affect the internal organs, acting exclusively on the skin.
Therefore, we can say that laser influence brings more benefits than danger.
Indication
Laser has a very broad use.The testimony for the procedure with fraxel is:
- age -related pigmentation;
- acne;
- Skin colleagues;
- sunburn;
- Acne traces;
- small and deep wrinkles;
- scars and scars;
- skin pigmentation;
- post -acne;
- stretch marks;
- sagging, withering skin, reduced tone;
- Wide pores.
This device not only rejuvenates the skin, but also removes many aesthetic problems.
Contraindications
However, there are some contraindications in which the behavior of the procedure with fraxel is strictly prohibited:
- cancer neoplasms (both benign and malignant);
- hormone disorders;
- form of acute infectious disease;
- inflammation in the manipulation zone;
- dermatological diseases;
- blood vessels and heart pathology;
- epilepsy;
- tendency for various bleeding;
- autoimmune disease;
- pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- Problems with blood clots.
Also, do not perform menstrual procedures, although this is more of a proposal than contraindications.
How is the procedure?
Prior to the beginning of the procedure, you visually evaluate the condition of the patient's skin, determining the method of exposure, depth of the penetration of laser rays.It also determines how many sessions are needed to eliminate certain problems.
The procedure itself is carried out in several stages:
- Using a special composition, the skin is cleaned and decreased.
- Lidocaine ointment with lidocaine is used for the area to be processed.Wait for 40 minutes.This will prevent pain.
- The ointment hits, and the skin itself is lubricated with a lubricant.This allows the device to easily slide on the surface of the skin.
- Then work is carried out with the device itself.At first, the face with a small nozzle (sequence: forehead, cheeks, chin).After a larger nozzle, the neck and/or body are treated.
- The eyelid zone is the last treated, with a narrow nozzle.
- After the laser is complete, the lubricant is removed from the skin.
General Recommendations before the procedure
Prior to the procedure, it is important to consult your doctor and make sure there is no contraindication to this type of exposure.In a few days, it is advisable to start taking anti-minerpes drugs to exclude inflammation.
Early consultation with your cosmetics members who will perform the procedure will not be excessive.It is possible that he will give additional suggestions.
Consequences and possible complications
The usual consequences of the procedure include:
- itching and burning (not important);
- redness of the skin (passes in 5-7 days);
- Edema;
- dryness;
- discomfort;
- Small pain.
However, despite the soft effects of fraxel, in rare cases, complications are still possible.These include:
- Pigmentation after inflammation has dropped;
- important edema;
- erosion;
- Acne exacerbation;
- increased skin sensitivity;
- subcutaneous bleeding;
- Significant redness has passed (more than 7 days after the procedure).
Advantages of fraxel laser
The main advantages of the laser exposure include:
- Possible exposure to different skin areas (even on the milk gland and eyelid area).
- Possible effects of points on the skin, only affects the areas that the laser needs to be processed.
- The ability to renew the skin at the cellular level, activates the body's internal resources.
Expected results
After a few fraxel sessions, the skin should be healthier, the pores are narrow, wrinkles and pigmentation are completely eliminated.In the case of scars and scars, their aesthetic species get better (which is not completely lost).Skin release is adjusted, it becomes elastic and strong.
Skin care after processing
To avoid complications and "help" the skin as much as possible after the procedure, it is necessary:
- Sleep with the raised head.This will help reduce swelling.
- It is advisable to eliminate the use of alcohol and nicotine (or at least reduce the amount).
- Avoid exposure to UV rays.Includes protection against sunlight, use sunscreen for 3 months, after the procedure.
- Do not use aggressive scrubs and cosmetics products.
- Do not tear the crust and peel off, in the event of their appearance.
How often can you do the procedure
The duration of the procedure itself usually does not exceed 20 minutes.But the next session can be held no earlier than 5 weeks later.The course of treatment is individually selected for each patient, and on average it has 4-6 sessions.
The laser effect has a cumulative effect, so the result can last up to 15 years.
Comparison of fraxel therapy with other rejuvenation methods
Analog fraxel in terms of impact, is considered:
- Thermage.Although it is an analogue, it is more effective as an additional procedure for fraxel.
- Nano-perforation.Although it is a softer procedure, it is not very effective, and the effect is still less time.
- Mesotherapy.Unlike aggressive procedures, moreover, cheaper in cost, but have a less clear effect.
- Point.Combining the effects of radio and laser waves.This procedure has more contraindications.
Fraxel analogs are also fraxel.However, what is better for him personally, each patient must determine for himself, as the device is the same as the disclosure method.Although fraxel has developed functionality.
A encouraging combination
The biggest impact of the procedure can be achieved by combining it with others.For example, it is advisable to use plasmolift or thermage simultaneously with fraxel.This will help to quickly achieve the desired results and keep the effect longer.
