Today you can find the richest range of devices in the beauty industry market. Smart cars help us to restore and preserve beauty. In this article, we will talk about different types of laser devices for skin rejuvenation - which one to choose for a particular procedure, how they differ, and so on.
Laser skin rejuvenation has long been an alternative to surgical scissors. This lift is a minimally invasive procedure, after which there are no stitches or a long recovery period. This is called fractional thermolysis, because during manipulations the laser beam is divided into small beams (fractions), with the help of which a micro mesh is formed on the surface of the dermis. In fact, these are micro ranks. The body begins to recover strongly by producing collagen and elastin in the cells.
As a bonus from restoring the structure of the skin, there is a smoothing of wrinkles, lightening of pigmented areas, improvement of complexion, fight against scars and blemishes.
Features
There are several types of modern laser systems in the cosmetics market. Almost all devices can be adapted to the individual needs and problems of the customer. For example, thin or sensitive facial skin, prone to allergies, etc.
Fractional rejuvenation methods are divided as follows, depending on the intensity and depth of penetration:
Non-ablative
This technology does not cause microtrauma - the laser beam "does not damage" the epidermis, the effect occurs only at deep levels. However, internal rejuvenation processes are still triggered, and fibroblasts begin to be actively stimulated.
Ablative
In this case, the effect of exposure to the laser beam is more pronounced - the tissue evaporates from the upper layer of the epidermis. The device is well suited for aging skin, successfully solves the problems of ptosis, deep wrinkles and strong pigmentation.
What lasers are there?
Laser skin resurfacing is usually done with two types of devices. Let me tell you more about them.
Carbon dioxide
It was first introduced to the market in the 1980s, and was based on a carbon pulse device. The effect of the application was great, but the recovery time was very long. Not all clients can afford the rehabilitation period of two to three months.
Erbium
However, this model appeared in the 90s. Equipped with crystals. It immediately dissolves moisture in the cells, so it has a more purposeful effect on the layers of the skin.
Some models of modern devices use additional features 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 the skin and eliminates acne. It moves very gently on the skin, and you can successfully work even with the thin and sensitive skin of the eyelids.
GentleYAG is used during complex lifting. After the procedure, the pores are narrowed, wrinkles are smoothed, the vascular network is reduced, and tissue loosening disappears. An important plus is the possibility of laser rejuvenation, even in summer, using this technology.
Well-known Palomar is used for various purposes by professionals. It is a treatment for rosacea and tightening of the skin and getting rid of blemishes.
Indications, prices and contraindications

The cosmetologist is obliged to advise the client and choose the appropriate therapy strategy - how many sessions are needed, what should be the depth of the beam.
It is recommended to prepare the skin by performing a cleansing peel before the procedure. On average, the whole session takes five to 25 minutes. Finally, the specialist will apply a special cooling gel to the treated areas to reduce swelling and redness.
Prices are self-determined in each region and salon. But let's face it, pleasure is not cheap.
