The word laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated radiation wave. A laser beam is a very powerful tool (reinforced) and beam (radiation) emitted (emission) from a tube that is designed to create a specific color or wavelength of light. A complex power used to stimulate (boost) of light in a powerful amplified mode. The medical and surgical lasers are designed to emit or produce a certain color, which is highly and specifically absorbed by different body tissues. This is called phototherapy or light therapy. When a laser beam hits a fabric that is the right color for the laser beam, the energy heats and destroys tissue.
For example, the laser beam, which is a laser wavelength of 650 nm (nm is a device that detects a particular color of light in the visible spectrum) is mainly absorbed in the color brown. If this 650nm laser beam hits the skin brown spot, brown spot heats up and vaporizes.
Before lasers and light therapy, no specific heat, and electro-surgery or surgery with a scalpel was used to remove a skin lesion as a brown spot sun and age spots. The problem with this ancient technique was that the injury was not specific to the brown and damaged all the elements of the skin brown spot and normal around the brown spot. The result was damage to the skin much more than necessary just to remove the brown stain. A large wound was created and a scar is the result.
When a beam of light used in phototherapy can specifically eliminate the brown spot is the surrounding skin is not damaged, and a brown spot can be removed and the intact skin, without leaving a scar.
This specificity of the light beam of a specific target color is known as photothermolysis specific objective. Photo means light. Thermo means heat. Lysis is synonymous with failure, removal or vaporization of the target. The light hits a particular target color, the heat of the target (brown stain) and evaporate the target area brown.
There are hundreds of different wavelengths that can be set to spray biological targets with precision of color in the human body. Hair color, blood vessels, tattoos, veins, arteries, a pigment in brown spots and other colors can each be specifically for a particular wavelength better. The trick is to produce a specific wavelength is required for the desired application. Some wavelengths used in cosmetic surgery are:
O-532nm is absorbed by the red-violet is used to vaporize the blood vessels and spider veins
or 755nm-absorbed by the brown-black and is used for hair removal and tattoo removal
o 1064-absorbed by the purple-black and used for hair removal and closure of large veins
O 10 000 nm and the CO2 is absorbed by water inside the cells of the skin, breaking the skin cells, and the incisions are used to vaporize skin cancers
1440nm and 1540nm Erbium-O absorption of water and used to coagulate the collagen deep into the skin to promote new collagen and plump the skin wrinkles and acne scars
Or 2940nm Erbium-absorbed water evaporates from the cells, which are used to restore the skin and smooths wrinkles
O-924nm 924nm is absorbed by the color yellow and is used to melt the fat during liposuction
How is plastic laser surgery done?
All techniques therapy work by producing heat. This heat can be used to vaporize the tissue, tissue coagulation, melt the tissue and the tissue of the incision or cut. The most common application of these four methods are:
o vaporize tissue removal of warts, skin cancer, sun damage, brown spots, wrinkles, bumps on the skin and other skin growths are called lesions.
or coagulated tissue coagulation is to convert a liquid to a solid classic example is the blood clot to form a blood clot. This technique can be used for blood clotting in a vein or artery and the injury causes the boat to close and eliminate the artery or vein. Heat can also be transmitted through the skin or a wound to the coagulation of collagen in the skin in depth. This process is used to stimulate the skin to form new collagen can plump wrinkles and improve acne scars.
Melt-O Tissue 924nm wavelength used for liposuction involves the use of heat to melt and liquefy the fat under the skin. Some fat is also coagulated in the process.
Or cut a slit or fabric of this type of incision is the most commonly used to make the eyelid surgery known as blepharoplasty, and action to remove the eye caps and bags under the eyes. A skin is usually thicker bars in this technology, because the accumulation of heat is more of a thick skin and can cause scarring. However, the eyelid skin is the ideal application for this technology. The advantage is that blood vessels are sealed during incision so there is less bleeding, less bruising after surgery.
What is the IPL intense pulsed light or photo-facial Phototherapy others?
The intense pulsed light, also known as IPL or photo facial is also a form of therapy or phototherapy light is used in cosmetic surgery and dermatology. The intense pulsed light (IPL) uses a bright flash of visible light, like a camera flash very powerful to heat or vaporize tissue and coagulate tissue. Colors or specific wavelengths needed to deal with different colored fabric is released by placing a filter before the flash of light that transmits only the wavelength selected for the correct application.
Depending on the filter used, the wavelengths of light ideal for hair removal, removal of blood vessels and brown spots and remove dark circles under the eyes caused by damaged blood vessels are available.
IPL is generally less powerful and less painful when applied to the skin, it is often without anesthesia. In addition, skin lesions or burns less frequent using Intense Pulsed Light.
Intense pulsed light or photo-facial is an excellent method to treat large skin areas. Photo-facial treatments can be used to remove brown spots, small blood vessels and sun damage on the face, chest and hands. Because the controller of intense pulsed light is more, the results of treatment are more uniform, no white markings of more specific devices.
Intense pulsed light treatments can also be made for hair removal. Again, large areas can easily be processed faster and more uniform. Intense pulsed light is particularly useful for large areas such as back, legs and chest.
What is the best laser or IPL?
No method is best for all applications than the other. There are some programs that have better results with the laser, and some are better treated with intense pulsed light. You must depend on the knowledge and skill of a physician who is trained and expert in light therapy. Only a physician who has knowledge of the entire line of light-based cosmetic treatments for the skin will be able to give you an informed opinion. How can I find a good doctor?
You must understand that in America everything is bound to give treatment of light is a valid medical license. Although hospitals do a good job of accreditation of doctors, private offices outside the operating rooms have not approved such an accreditation process.
In a hospital is not allowed to perform the operation unless you can prove you have been approved residency training in the specialty in which you want to do surgery.
In the Council of Ministers, if you have a valid license physician, you can put a sign to call you what you want. There are doctors who advertise as cosmetic surgeons, who have never had a training day for surgery. This practice is being challenged in the courts for more than 25 years ago, the Court held that to require proof of training to call a plastic surgeon, plastic surgery was contrary to free trade and illegal.
This location leaves the patient at risk for a major medical or surgical procedure performed by someone without adequate training or skills.
What can you do? The answer is to seek consultation with a certified plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Check their website for doctors in your area. Council dermatologists are also trained and certified in skincare and light therapy. Check the American Board of Dermatology for a doctor in your area.
The American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery is a partnership of physicians and surgeons who are particularly interested in light therapy and photo-medicine. Physicians who are specialists in plastic surgery or dermatology, which also belong to the ASLM is most likely to have more knowledge about this field.
These applications are revolutionary new light for new ways to treat skin diseases and achieve better cosmetic appearance of the face and body. They are less invasive than surgery, causes less scarring and requires less recovery that many cosmetic surgical procedures. New cosmetic treatments of light are discovered each year and the trend towards non-invasive and non-surgical light-based cosmetic treatments will continue. There are many good treatments available.
Just do your homework, understand what you are trying to achieve, and to find a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to provide a safe and effective results.
