The word laser – Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation – is an abbreviation from the English language, which translates to “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation”. The name of the laser indicates which medium is used to generate the laser light.
Sunlight contains light of different colors, that is, of different wavelengths. A laser contains light of only one wavelength, which is limited in its propagation to a certain space. This type of light is called coherent light. In modern medicine, the laser already has numerous applications.
Three main groups of lasers are distinguished here:
- Laser for surgical treatment
- Laser for the treatment of skin and vascular lesions.
- Laser for epilation (depilation therapy).
Beauty and aesthetics are important parts of life for most people.
Small blemishes often have a disturbing effect and affect our self-esteem and enjoyment of life. Using the latest laser technology, it is now possible to gently treat countless skin changes using lasers.
These include:
- Wrinkle reduction
- Removal of pigmentation spots
- Scar correction
- Removal of spider veins
- Age spot removal
- Epilation (depilation)
IPL – Intense Pulsed Light
IPL systems are another type of treatment.
High-energy flash lamps, unlike laser systems, produce non-coherent light, which means that the light from the lamp contains different wavelengths (colors).
With the help of filters, a certain wavelength range can be selected, which results in various application possibilities. By means of IPL technology it is possible to perform the following treatments:
- Lentigo senilis (age spots).
- Hemangiomas (blood sponges)
- Couperose
- Nevus flammeus (port-wine stains)
Laser therapy, as well as IPL technology, helps maintain natural beauty or correct minor blemishes for your self-confidence and attractiveness – for life.
