However, it will be possible to notice some positive changes after the first visit to the salon.
Fractional lasers used in cosmetology have a unique effect on the skin.

The cost of a fractional photothermolysis procedure ranges from five to twenty thousand rubles.
The price of the service is made up of various factors: the quality of the laser equipment, the number of areas treated and the cost of the care products used during the session.
Fractional laser rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes is a laborious and expensive procedure.

Types of laser rejuvenation
Fractional photothermolysis is a general name that combines several types of cosmetic procedures.
They all have a similar effect, which is to lift the skin quickly, restore its appearance and get rid of wrinkles.
There are two types of fractional photothermolysis, which you can read in this section of the article.
Ablative rejuvenation is a procedure in which the main fractional effect is on the surface layer of the epidermis.
It is ideal for the targeted elimination of skin imperfections: pigmentation, scars, scars and expression lines.
Non-ablative rejuvenation involves thermal effects on the lower layers of the epidermis, usually without affecting the upper layers.
This procedure is necessary to activate the metabolic processes in the skin cells, to form a new stronger collagen structure of the epidermis.
In order to treat large areas, it is better to use a type of rejuvenation without injection like laser biorevitalization.
This procedure combines the capabilities of a diode laser beam, which activates the natural processes of tissue regeneration, and a powerful dose of hyaluronic acid, which penetrates the skin under the influence of a devicecosmetic.
Laser skin resurfacing can also be considered a rejuvenating procedure, but its effect is the most subtle and gentle.
In the process of laser resurfacing, you can get rid of fine wrinkles, smooth pores and various irregularities, remove pigmentation, and increase skin elasticity slightly.
In order to achieve a stable and noticeable improvement in the condition of the epidermis, these procedures should be carried out in courses, once every two or three weeks.
However, there is a method that will improve the condition of the skin in just one session with a beautician.
4D Rejuvenation is a practice that combines four treatments: SmothLiftin, FRAC3, PIANO and SupErficial.
Their skillful combination allows you to achieve a noticeable improvement in the condition of the skin, establish metabolic processes in the deep layers of the epidermis, and restore the lost elasticity of the dermis.
4D rejuvenation that guarantees lasting results after a procedure is a reality, not a marketing invention.
The only minus of 4D rejuvenation, as evidenced by reviews of women who underwent the procedure, is the cost, which fluctuates within fifty thousand rubles.
How is laser facial rejuvenation done?
Before starting laser skin rejuvenation by fractional photothermolysis, all possible impurities should be removed from it.
Many cosmetologists recommend a three-step system to cleanse the epidermis: remove dust and makeup with a gentle cleanser, scrub, and tone.
After the client's face is prepared for the procedure, the master turns on the diode laser and begins to apply his nozzle to the problem areas of the skin, alternately treating all areas of the epidermis that require attention.
The thermal effect produced by the laser heats the inner layers of the skin, destroying the old collagen ligaments.
This process triggers the formation of new, stronger collagen fibers. Modern cosmetology lasers generate pulses of heat of different wavelengths.
Their duration varies from 0. 2 to 0. 5 milliseconds.
Newly formed skin regeneration lesions caused by fractional photothermolysis differ in color from areas of untreated skin.
As a rule, they turn red immediately after the procedure and then become covered with a thin crust. These symptoms go away quickly.
It is not recommended to wash or wet your face for several hours after laser photothermolysis.
It should be treated with a special tonic or gel, which can be purchased at the beautician's office.
In addition, you should refuse to use decorative cosmetics, avoid sunbathing or protect the skin treated with a cream with an spf 15 and above.
