From the pages of science fiction novels, the laser beam has stepped into our real life. It is now difficult to imagine many industries without using the power of this miracle beam. Medicine did not stand aside either. In almost all of its fields, a laser beam is used. It was widely used in cosmetology, especially in cases where laser scar removal is necessary.
There are several modifications of the lasers used for this purpose. Ablation (carbon dioxide) laser, acting on the surface of the scar or scar, contributes to the evaporation of the upper layer of the skin. This type of laser began to be used in the 90s. It has several significant drawbacks. Scar removal
with a CO 2 laser can be recommended for patients with oily skin with deep bulbous scars.
This is the toughest type of laser available today - it damages closely spaced tissues more than others. The device belongs to the first generation of lasers and has one common problem with other models of that period - this is a “demarcation" line that clearly separates the processed and unprocessed surfaces.
CO2 lasers are constantly being improved and refined. Today they use a super-pulse mode, which allows to reduce the depth of penetration of the beam and injuries of intact tissues. The advantage of these lasers is the traction effect. The skin tissue is compressed, the pores are narrowed and the skin is oily.
Laser scar removal is now more popular using
Nd: YAG laser (neodymium), which belongs to the group of non-ablative devices (under the influence of these lasers, the skin is damaged). Once inside the scar, the beam acts on the inner layers of the skin. The vessels are destroyed, which in turn leads to impaired blood flow and significantly reduces the flow of nutrients to the scar, causing the formation of collagen. This reduces the scar and gives the effect of dermoplasty.
Nd: YAG laser scar removal is currently considered the most effective, popular and safest method, widely recognized worldwide among patients and laser therapy specialists. Using this method guarantees no side effects that may appear when using other devices. In addition, this type of laser is widely used when it is necessary to remove postoperative scars.
However, this highly effective method of getting rid of scars and scars has contraindications: pregnancy, epilepsy, malignant neoplasms at the treatment site,
less than two weeks ago, chemical peeling, psoriasis.
Many people care about whether scar removal after acne is possible . This is a serious problem for many people who have experienced a “turbulent” transitional age. Acne marks can be very unattractive and can disfigure the most pretty face. The most effective way to deal with acne scars is laser resurfacing. This procedure is carried out using the latest generation erbium laser . It is very effective and gives excellent results. The skin becomes completely smooth, even. There are no traces, no spots.
