The structure of the epidermis improves, dead cells disappear completely. The first wrinkles on the skin around the eyes begin to appear at the age of 30, and at the age of 40, age-related changes are quite clearly reflected on the face. Lasers help eliminate the unpleasant manifestations of age - the top layer of the epidermis, which has lost its elasticity, is completely removed.

Procedure Description
Reviews often discuss significant results after one session, but doctors recommend doing it again after 3-6 months. First, the doctor performs a thorough makeup cleansing, after 20 minutes the doctor treats the skin with anesthesia. According to reviews, many feel a slight tingling sensation, others complain of unbearable pain. The duration of the procedure is about an hour, it all depends on the size of the treated area.
Overview of fractional phototrolysis types:
- Ablative - the effect only occurs on the upper layers of the skin, because of the high temperature it just evaporates. After this method of facial rejuvenation, the lifting effect immediately appears, suitable for removing age-related changes at an early stage.

I did procedures on folds and eyelidsnasolabial - very painful, anesthesia does not help much. During the recovery period, crust, persistent itching, exfoliation is very triggering. Six months have passed, I love the effect, but soon I have to do it again, but I can not mentally prepare forthis. "

During the procedure itself, the pain can be borne, as with a tattoo, but after that I developed herpeshorrible. Plus, age spots and wrinkles have not completely disappeared. I believe there is a better method. "
