The main indicator of a woman's youth is young, shiny skin. You can often hear complaints that the skin on your face has deteriorated in just a few weeks: dryness and wrinkles have arisen. The specialist will immediately understand what is at stake. This situation may arise due to a decrease in the production of female hormones. At this stage in the life of each woman, a serious hormonal restructuring begins, so a competent and timely technique for skin rejuvenation is necessary.
Fractional laser rejuvenation
Fractional laser rejuvenation is a strategy for skin rejuvenation during a woman's difficult period.
This procedure removes skin changes without surgery.
The fractional laser is the best option instead of aggressive laser exposure, photorejuvenation, DOT therapy and chemical peeling.
Fraxel is a laser used to rejuvenate the skin's surface and its deep layers. Unlike others, fractional laser has a high stimulation capacity to reproduce collagen with minimal traumatic effects on the skin of the face.
The laser beam passes through a filter that divides it into several laser beams. Because of this, a large traumatic surface does not form on the skin, and areas of healthy skin between the treated areas stimulate increased collagen production.
The fractional laser can be used on any part of the skin, without risk of complications and regardless of the phototype. The laser procedure can be performed at any time of the year, but observing the rules for protecting the skin from the sun's rays.
Patients undergoing this procedure can start work the next day. And all this is due to the competent laser configurations.
Varieties of fractional lasers and their effects on facial skin
There are three main types of fractional lasers today. The difference between them is the degree of effect on the skin of the face.
Fraxel-fine- used for a delicate effect on the skin surface with minor changes. This procedure is like a chemical peel. These settings will not work for more mature skin.
Fraxel-storeis a laser that appeared not long ago in the world of cosmetology. After exposure, the skin visibly rejuvenates and glows. In addition, this device can treat acne, eliminate its negative effects on the skin of the face, remove wrinkles and scars. The disadvantage of this version is the lack of effect on age spots.
Fraxel-store DUALis the latest fractional laser. It combines two types of laser radiation, allowing, in a single photothermolysis procedure, to improve the condition of the skin and eliminate persistent aging spots in several sessions. With the help of this technique, an excellent skin rejuvenation result is achieved in women of different ages.

Due to the action of fractional laser, biochemical and physiological processes in the skin, proper to new cells, are formed. This process leads to an increase in the formation of fibers, which help to increase the elasticity and firmness of the skin.

This is due to the smooth and effective action on the skin.
