Neodymium laser: what it is, how it works, application

Neodymium laser has a wavelength of 1064 nanometers. It is able to pass through the epidermis up to 8 mm deep, targeting the dermis. This beam of light is converted into heat energy. It burns damaged cells, hair follicles, pigments. On healthy tissues, the beam does not have a negative effect. Let's consider how to use neodymium laser.

The use of neodymium laser in cosmetology

The properties of the neodymium laser are used for such tasks of cosmetology:

• Skin rejuvenation. Neodymium laser stimulates collagen molecules to synthesize new fibroblasts. This reduces the signs of aging: wrinkles, pigmentation, vasculature and sagging skin. In combination with peeling, contour plastics and other cosmetic methods can improve and significantly rejuvenate the skin.
• Elimination of hair on the face and body. Epilation with neodymium laser occurs without negative consequences for the skin of any type. It affects only the bulb and destroys the capillaries surrounding it.
• Removal of tattoos. Neodymium laser is able to destroy pigments injected into the skin. In this case, no scars are formed on the surface. Disintegrated pigments are gradually washed out of the body by lymph flow. Also this beam is removed permanent makeup and tattooing lips, eyebrows.
• Elimination of scars, scars, hemangiomas. Neodymium laser stimulates the inflammatory process in the cells, destroys them. Thus, tissue renewal is activated. The old capillary flow is destroyed and the body forms a new one. In this case, elastin and collagen are actively produced. Blood supply is restored, and with it new skin cells are formed.

Features of the impact of the neodymium laser

It is undesirable to treat neodymium laser tanned skin. There is a risk that there will be a lack of skin pigmentation. In the areas of exposure to the laser, it may become lighter than in other areas of the face or body.

The procedure is not carried out on areas where there is active inflammation. Specialist with neodymium laser can advise on contraindications and peculiarities of such skin treatment.

After exposure to neodymium laser, there is often a slight swelling. This is a natural consequence of the laser destruction of cells and pigments. Usually swelling goes away no later than 2-3 days. The result of the procedure is manifested within two weeks. Immediately visible changes will not be visible. For a lasting effect will need 10-12 sessions.

The impact of neodymium laser causes some pain, because the beam penetrates deeply. However, if together with it is used cooling equipment, unpleasant sensations are minimized.

Neodymium laser is not only an effective tool in cosmetology. It is also used in medicine to eliminate tumors, perform coagulation of blood vessels during surgeries. It reduces bleeding, damage to healthy tissue and reduces the risk of infection. In addition, neodymium laser is used in manufacturing, metal welding, automotive industry and other areas.
