Today, in the beauty industry market, you can find the richest variety of devices. Smart cars help us to recover 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, how they differ, etc.
Laser skin tightening has long been an alternative to the surgical scalpel. This lift is a minimally invasive procedure, after which there are no stitches or a long recovery period. It 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 created on the surface of the dermis. In fact, these are micro-ranges. The body begins to recover vigorously, producing collagen and elastin in the cells.
As an added benefit of restoring the structure of the skin, there is a smoothing of wrinkles, lightening of pigmented areas, improving the complexion and fighting against scars and blemishes.
Peculiarities
There are several lines of modern laser systems on the cosmetic market. Almost all devices can be tailored to individual customer needs and problems. For example, thin or sensitive facial skin, tendency to allergies, etc.
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, the effect is only at deep levels. But the internal rejuvenation processes are still activated, the 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 of the epidermis. The device is very suitable for aging skin, successfully solve the problems of ptosis, deep wrinkles and strong pigmentation.

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