Laser rejuvenation devices are represented on the market by laser ablation (solid and fractional), non-ablative laser rejuvenation devices (erbium, neodymium, diode lasers) and laser phoresis devices. Depending on the wavelength, the laser radiation penetrates to different depths and acts on strictly defined targets in the tissues (structural proteins, blood, water, pigment), so each laser rejuvenation device solves its range of aesthetic problems.
Laser ablation devices
The main target of rejuvenating ablative lasers is water, which evaporates during the procedure. An active cell regeneration process starts in the area of damage, the skin is renewed, rejuvenated and becomes tighter. Continuous laser ablation (laser peeling) is very painful and requires long-term rehabilitation, so today specialists prefer fractional (precise) laser rejuvenation. Considered an alternative to surgical lifting - the results are truly impressive. Fractional laser rejuvenation is recommended for pronounced signs of aging: ptosis, deep wrinkles, aging-related pigmentation, noticeable imperfections in the contours of the skin.
Devices for non-ablative laser rejuvenation
The group of devices for non-ablative laser rejuvenation is quite large. Neodymium lasers are excellent for removing vascular patterns from the skin (the target is hemoglobin in the blood). Rejuvenating diode lasers mainly affect collagen, which causes its transformation and, consequently, the lifting and tightening of the skin. Non-ablative erbium lasers work similarly to ablative laser rejuvenation machines - they evaporate water and damage tissue, activating regeneration - but do not affect the surface of the skin.
Devices for laser phoresis
Equipment for laser phoresis ensures deep penetration of rejuvenating cocktails into the skin (most often, hyaluronic acid preparations act in this role). With this procedure, it deeply hydrates the skin, completely smoothes out fine wrinkles, improves complexion and skin texture. Laser phoresis does not cause tissue heating and gently stimulates natural renewal processes.
It is a difficult question which equipment to choose for laser rejuvenation, because the "specialization" of lasers is quite narrow. In well-known clinics of aesthetic medicine, ablative lasers are more often used to achieve the effect of radical rejuvenation. Beauty salons usually offer non-invasive laser rejuvenation or anti-aging laser phoresis. The decision to purchase a rejuvenating laser depends on many factors: budget, local demand, and the qualifications of specialists.
