Today on the beauty industry market you can find the richest assortment of devices. Smart cars help us regain and preserve beauty. This article discusses the different laser devices for skin rejuvenation - which one to choose for a particular procedure, how they differ, etc. Let's talk about.
Laser skin tightening has long been an alternative to a surgical scalpel. This removal is a minimally invasive procedure and there are no stitches or a long recovery period afterward. This is called fractional thermolysis, because during manipulations the laser beam is divided into small rays (fractions), from which a micro-network is formed on the surface of the dermis. In fact, these are microdegrees. The body begins to heal strongly by producing collagen and elastin in the cells.
As a bonus of restoring the skin's structure, there is a smoothing of wrinkles, lightening of pigmented areas, improving complexion and the fight against scars and imperfections.
features
There are several modern laser systems on the cosmetic market. Almost all devices can adapt to the individual needs and problems of the customer. For example, thin or sensitive facial skin, propensity to allergies, etc.
Fractional rejuvenation techniques are divided as follows, depending on the intensity and depth of penetration:
non-ablative
Microtrauma does not occur in this technology - the laser beam does not "damage" the epidermis, the effect is only at deep levels. But the internal processes of rejuvenation are still triggered, fibroblasts begin to be actively stimulated.
Ablative
In this case, the result of exposure to the laser beam is more pronounced - the tissue evaporates from the upper soybean epidermis. The device is very suitable for aging skin, successfully solving the problems of ptosis, deep wrinkles and strong pigmentation.

Some models of modern devices use additional capabilities derived from neodymium and thulium lasers.
