Today on the market of the beauty industry you can find the richest assortment of devices. Smart cars help us reclaim and preserve beauty. Let's talk in this article about the different types of laser devices for skin rejuvenation - which one to choose for a particular procedure, their differences and so on.
Laser skin tightening has long been an alternative to the scalpel. This removal is a minimally invasive procedure, after which there are no stitches or a long recovery period. It is called fractional thermolysis because, during manipulation, the laser beam is divided into small rays (fractions), with the help of which a micro-mesh is created on the surface of the dermis. In fact, this is a micro rating. The body begins to recover vigorously, producing collagen and elastin in cells.
As a bonus of restoring skin structure, it smoothes wrinkles, brightens pigmented areas, improves skin tone, and fights scars and blemishes.
Uniqueness
There are several lines of modern laser systems on the cosmetic market. Almost all devices are capable of adapting to individual needs and client concerns. For example, thin or sensitive facial skin, a tendency to allergies, and so on.
Fractional rejuvenation techniques are divided as follows, depending on the intensity and depth of penetration:
Non-ablative
In this technology, microtrauma is not formed - the laser beam does not "damage" the epidermis, its effect is only at a deep level. But the process of internal rejuvenation is still triggered, fibroblasts begin to be actively stimulated.
Ablative
In this case, the result of exposure to laser light is more pronounced - the tissue evaporates from the soybean over the epidermis. This device is perfect for aging skin, successfully solving the problems of ptosis, deep wrinkles and strong pigmentation.
What lasers are there?
Laser skin tightening is usually done with two types of devices. Let's tell more about them.
Carbon dioxide
First introduced on the market in the 80s, it is based on carbon pulsed equipment. The effect of the application was enormous, however, the recovery period was too long. Not all clients are able to undergo a two to three month rehabilitation period.

Some modern device models use the additional capabilities gained from neodymium and thulium lasers.
