Fractional laser skin rejuvenation is a non-surgical technology that allows millions of women to regain fresh, firm skin on their face, neck and décolleté.

The technology's effectiveness is based on a deep point effect on skin cells. The laser beams form the finest grid and penetrate to a certain depth. They heat certain cells in the dermis to 70-80°C, leaving surrounding areas untouched. Untreated areas are tightened to restore skin integrity and create a lasting lifting effect.

Laser rejuvenation can be:

superficial (ablative)

deep

The method deals well with the first signs of aging. The beam affects the cells of the epidermis to a depth of no more than 1. 5 mm.

Radiation penetrates 5 mm. Under its influence, the production of collagen and elastin is accelerated, due to which the membrane structure is updated.
