Today you can find the richest range of devices in the beauty industry market. Smart cars help us regain and retain beauty. In this article, let's talk about different types of laser skin rejuvenation devices - which ones to choose for a particular procedure, how they differ, and so on.
Laser skin tightening has long been an alternative to the surgical scalpel. This lifting is a minimally invasive procedure, after which there are no sutures or a long recovery period. It is called fractional thermolysis because, when manipulated, the laser beam is divided into small rays (fractions), with the help of which a micro-network is created on the surface of the dermis. In fact, they are micro-ranks. The body begins to recover vigorously and produces collagen and elastin in the cells.
As a bonus for restoring the skin structure, there is a smoothing of wrinkles, a lightening of pigmented areas, an improvement of the complexion and the fight against scars and defects.
particularities
There are several lines of modern laser systems on the cosmetics market. Almost all devices are able to adapt to the individual needs and problems of the customer. For example, thin or sensitive skin on the face, a tendency to allergies and so on.
Fractional rejuvenation techniques are divided according to their intensity and depth of penetration as follows:
Non-ablative
With this technology there is no microtrauma - the laser beam does not "damage" the epidermis, the effect only occurs at deep levels. But the internal rejuvenation processes are still triggered, fibroblasts are actively stimulated.
ablative
In this case, the result of exposure to the laser beam is more pronounced - the tissue evaporates from the upper soybean of the epidermis. The device is well suited for aging skin, successfully solves the problems of ptosis, deep wrinkles and heavy pigmentation.
What lasers are there?
Laser skin tightening is usually done with two types of devices. Let us tell you more about them.
Carbon dioxide
First launched in the 1980s, it was based on a carbon-pulsed machine. The effect of the application was colossal, but the recovery phase took too long. Not all clients could afford a rehabilitation period of two to three months.
Erbium
But this model appeared in the 90s. Powered by crystals. Instantly dissolves moisture in the cells, creating a more targeted effect on the layers of the skin.
Some models of modern equipment use additional capabilities of neodymium and thulium lasers.
The best-known brands are Palomar, Fraxel and GentleYAG.
Fraxel perfectly copes with fine wrinkles, freckles, scars, evens out the complexion, removes acne. Works very gently on the skin, you can work successfully even on thin and sensitive skin of the eyelids.
GentleYAG is used when it comes to complex lifting. After the procedure, the pores are narrowed, wrinkles are smoothed, the vascular network decreases and the slack tissue disappears. The possibility of such laser rejuvenation with this technology can also be seen as a significant plus in summer.
The well-known palomar is used by specialists for various purposes. This is the treatment of rosacea, skin tightening and removal of defects.
