The main indicator of a woman's youth is young and radiant skin. You can often hear complaints about the deterioration of the skin for several weeks: dryness and wrinkles. The specialist will immediately understand what is in danger. This condition can be caused by a decrease in the production of female hormones. At this stage of every woman's life, a serious hormonal reconstruction begins, so there is a need for a timely and competent technique for skin rejuvenation.

Laser Fractional Rejuvenation

Fractional laser rejuvenation is a strategy for skin rejuvenation in difficult times for women.

This procedure eliminates skin changes without surgery.

Fractional laser is the best choice instead of aggressive laser effects, photorejuvenation, DOT therapy and chemical peels.

Fraxel is a laser that rejuvenates the surface and deep layers of the skin. Unlike others, fractional lasers have a high ability to reproduce collagen with minimal traumatic effects on the skin.

The laser beam passes through a filter that divides it into many laser beams. Therefore, a large traumatic surface is not formed on the skin, and healthy skin areas between the treated areas stimulate increased collagen production.

Fractional laser can be used anywhere on the skin without the risk of complications and regardless of the phototype. The laser procedure can be performed at any time of the year, but follow the rules to protect the skin from the sun's rays.

Patients who undergo this procedure can start work the next day. All this thanks to the competent laser settings.
