The Different Types of Laser Skin Machines
A laser skin machine is a device used for the treatment of skin imperfections. These machines come in different types, including CO2 lasers and Pulsed dye lasers. Before buying a machine, it is important to understand its characteristics and how it works. Most of the leading cosmetic laser manufacturers offer demo programs to give you a first-hand experience of the equipment.
Lumenis M22
The Lumenis M22 laser skin machine uses an IPL (intense pulsed light) technology to provide a wide variety of effective treatments. The technology is painless and produces results that are noticeable even in complex cases. It can treat everything from fine lines and wrinkles to deep veins and pigmentation.
Apogee Elite
The Apogee Elite laser skin machine is a dual-laser system that uses two different wavelengths for targeted skin treatments. This machine offers fast and safe multi-application treatments to target a variety of skin conditions. It is effective at removing unwanted hair and pigmented lesions, and can be used on all skin types. In addition, its short pulse duration and dual wavelengths allow it to treat telangiectasias and facial veins.
CO2 lasers
The CO2 laser is one of two kinds of lasers commonly used for laser skin treatments. It works by shrinking collagen. This type is more effective in treating deeper wrinkles and acne scars, as well as crepey skin around the eyes. It works well for people in their late 40s to late 70s. People with acne scarring may prefer this type of laser treatment, but the downtime associated with it may be longer than with other types of laser treatments.
Pulsed dye lasers
Pulsed dye lasers for laser skin machines are a type of laser used to treat vascular lesions. This type of laser uses a concentrated yellow light to destroy the blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface. Because it is a concentrated light source, it can focus to a specific location. It is also useful for medical treatments because certain tissues absorb specific wavelengths of light.
Pulsed YAG lasers
Nd: YAG lasers are used in hair removal procedures. These lasers contain longer wavelengths and are more effective than nanosecond or Q-Switched systems. The longer pulse duration of Nd: YAG lasers prevents epidermal injury and increases the wavelength penetration to dermal hair follicles. However, these lasers may not be suitable for all skin types. If you are unsure whether a particular laser is appropriate for your skin type, consult your clinician before using it.
IPL
IPL laser skin machines emit pulses of filtered light that penetrate the skin. These pulses of light are targeted at melanin, which is a type of pigment found in the skin. The light then heats up the pigmented area to the point where skin renewal occurs. After the procedure, the treated area may crust, which is normal, but eventually will flake away.
