The main indicator of a woman's youth is young and glowing skin. Quite often you can hear complaints that the skin on her face has deteriorated in a few weeks - dryness and wrinkles have appeared. The specialist will immediately understand what is at stake. This situation can occur due to a decrease in the production of female hormones. At this stage of every woman's life, a serious hormonal restructuring begins, therefore, a timely and competent technique for skin rejuvenation is required.
Fractional laser rejuvenation
Fractional laser rejuvenation is a strategy for skin rejuvenation in a woman's difficult period.
This procedure removes skin changes without surgery.
Fractional laser is the best option in place of aggressive laser exposure, photorejuvenation, DOT therapy and chemical peel.
Fraxel is a laser that rejuvenates the surface of the skin and its deep layers. Unlike others, the fractional laser has a high stimulating ability to reproduce collagen with minimal traumatic effects on the facial skin.
The laser beam passes through a filter which divides it into many laser beams. Due to this, a large traumatic surface does not form on the skin, and the 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 any risk of complications and regardless of its phototype. The laser procedure can be performed at any time of the year, but observing the rules for protecting the skin from sunlight.
Patients undergoing this procedure can start work the next day. And all this thanks to competent laser settings.

It combines two types of laser radiation, allowing, within a single photothermolysis procedure, to improve the condition of the skin and eliminate persistent age spots in several sessions. With the help of this technique, an excellent skin rejuvenation result is achieved in women of different ages.

This process leads to a greater formation of fibers, which contribute to increasing the elasticity and firmness of the skin.
