Today, you can find the richest selection of devices in the beauty industry market. Smart cars help you regain and preserve your beauty. In this article, let’s talk about the different types of laser devices used for skin rejuvenation - which one to choose for a particular procedure, how they differ from each other, and so on.
Laser skin tightening has long been an alternative to surgical scalpels. This lifting is a minimally invasive procedure followed by no stitches and a long recovery period. It is called fractional thermolysis because during manipulations, the laser beam is divided into small beams (fractions) that create a micronet on the surface of the dermis. In fact, they are micro-rankings. The body begins to regenerate vigorously, producing collagen and elastin in the cells.
In addition to restoring the structure of the skin, it smoothes wrinkles, lightens pigment spots, improves complexion, and fights scars and blemishes.
Peculiarities
There are many modern laser systems on the cosmetics market. Almost any device is able to adapt to the individual needs and problems of the client. For example, thin or sensitive skin, prone to allergies, etc.
Fractional rejuvenation techniques are divided according to the intensity and depth of penetration as follows:
Not ablative
With this technology, no microtrauma is formed - the laser beam does not "damage" the epidermis, the effect is only deep. But the internal regeneration processes are still started, the 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 excellent for aging skin, successfully solving the problems of ptosis, deep wrinkles and strong pigmentation.
What lasers are there?
Laser skin tightening is usually performed by two means. Let's say more about them.
Carbon dioxide
First introduced to the market in the 80s, it was based on a carbon-pulsed device. The effect of the application was colossal, however, the healing period lasted too long. Not all clients can afford the two to three month rehabilitation period.
Erbium
But this model appeared in the 90s. It is powered by crystals. It immediately dissolves moisture in the cells, so it has a more targeted effect on the skin layers.
Some models of modern devices use additional capabilities derived from neodymium and thulium lasers.
The most popular brands are Palomar, Fraxel and GentleYAG.
Fraxel perfectly copes with fine wrinkles, freckles, scars, evens out complexion and removes acne. It has a very gentle effect on the skin, it can work successfully on the thin and sensitive skin of the eyelids.
GentleYAG is used for complex lifting. After the procedure, the pores narrow, the wrinkles smooth out, the vascular network decreases, and the looseness of the tissues ceases. The possibility of such laser rejuvenation with this technology, even in summer, can be considered a significant plus.
The well-known Palomar is used by professionals for a variety of purposes. This is the treatment of rosacea and the tightening of the skin, the elimination of defects.
Indications, prices and contraindications
With this method we turn the clock back, it is recommended to start from the age of 40-45. The laser helps solve many problems:

- rosacea;
- blemishes, skin blemishes (scars, scars, traces of acne);

The beautician is required to advise the client and select the appropriate therapeutic strategy - how many sessions are required, what the depth of the beam should be.
Before the procedure, it is advisable to prepare the skin by performing a cleansing peel. On average, a full session takes 5-25 minutes. Finally, the technician lubricates the treated areas with a special cooling gel to reduce swelling and redness.
Prices are set by each region and salon themselves. But let’s face it, enjoyment is not cheap.
