Today in the market of the beauty industry you can find the richest range of devices. Smart cars help us regain and maintain beauty. Let's talk in this article about different types of laser devices for skin rejuvenation - which to choose for a particular procedure, how they differ and so on.
Laser skin tightening has long been an alternative to the scalpel. This lift is a minimally invasive procedure, after which there are no sutures or a long recovery period. It is called fractional thermolysis because, during the manipulations, the laser beam is divided into small rays (fractions), with the help of which a microgrid is created on the surface of the dermis. In fact, they are micro-levels. The body begins to recover dynamically, producing collagen and elastin in the cells.
As an advantage of restoring the structure of the skin, there is smoothing of wrinkles, whitening of colored areas, improvement of the skin and fight against scars and blemishes.
Specific features
There are many types of modern laser systems in the cosmetics market. Almost all devices are able to adapt to the individual needs and problems of the customer. For example, thin or sensitive facial skin, tendency to allergies, etc.
Fractional rejuvenation techniques are divided as follows, depending on the intensity and depth of penetration:
Non-abstract
In this technology, no microtrauma is formed - the laser beam does not "damage" the skin, the result is only in deep levels. But the internal rejuvenation processes are still activated, the fibroblasts begin to be actively stimulated.
Ablative
In this case, the effect of exposure to the laser beam is more intense - the tissue evaporates from the upper soy bean of the skin. The device is suitable for aging skin, successfully solves the problems of fall, deep wrinkles and intense 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 introduced to the market in the 1980s, it was based on a pulsed carbon device. The effect of the application was colossal, however, the recovery period lasted too long. Not all customers could afford a two to three month recovery period.
Erbium
But this model appeared in the 90s. It is powered by crystals. It dissolves moisture in the cells immediately, which is why there is a more targeted effect on the skin layers.
Some models of modern devices use additional features obtained from neodymium and thulium lasers.
The most popular brands are Palomar, Fraxel and GentleYAG.
Fraxel perfectly treats fine wrinkles, freckles, scars, smoothes the skin, removes acne. It acts on the skin very gently, you can work successfully even with thin and sensitive eyelid skin.
GentleYAG is used when it comes to complex lifting. After the procedure, the pores are narrowed, the wrinkles are smoothed, the vascular network is reduced and the looseness of the tissues disappears. An important advantage can be considered the possibility of such laser rejuvenation using this technology, even in summer.
The well-known Palomar is used by experts for various purposes. This is the treatment for rosacea and tightening of the skin and getting rid of blemishes.
