    Laser / IPL Technology for Skin Care - Dariush Honardoust

    textbook.

    The word LASER stands for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Laser therapy can be used to treats a variety of normal and pathological conditions. Several dermatology / cosmetic laser systems are available in the market for the treatment of various skin conditions such as hair removal, facial wrinkles, acne, acne and surgical scars, moles, melasma, stretch marks and sun damage.

    Compared to chemical peels, cosmetic laser therapy has been found be better tolerated by patients and cause little discomfort. The side effects are transient and include discomfort sensation like a "prickly heat during treatment. In addition a facial bronzing and puffiness associated with laser treatment may occur that may last for a few hours to days. Different types of lasers emit specific colors of light and are used to treat various cosmetic and surgical problems. The laser light is generated by a monochromatic light emission sourced from a lasing medium. The monochromatic coherent and polarized characteristics of the light beam permit penetration of deep tissues. The particles of light energy that are absorbed by a variety of micro-molecules within the cell, initiates a number of physiological responses.

    Laser / IPL is Non-ionizing radiation of light, like these forms of radiations:

    Non-ionizing radiation:

    Refers to any type of electromagnetic radiation that does not carry enough energy per quantum to ionize atoms or molecules.

    Non-ionizing radiation can produce non-mutagenic

    effects such as inciting thermal energy in biological tissue that can lead to burns.

    Examples of non-ionizing radiation

    UV visible light infrared microwave radio waves

    low-frequency satellite dish television cell phones power plug computer power lines

    Ionizing radiation:

    An Ionizing Radiation is composed of particles that individually carry enough kinetic energy to liberate an electron from an atom or molecule, ionizing it.

    Ionizing radiation is generally harmful and potentially lethal to living things.

    It is mutagenic leading to DNA mutation and cancer development. High doses can cause visually dramatic radiation burns, and/or rapid fatality through acute radiation syndrome.

    Ionizing radiation can have health benefits in radiation therapy for the treatment of tumours and thyrotoxicosis.

    Controlled doses are used for medical imaging and radiotherapy.

    Nuclear radiation, along with gamma rays and x-rays are ionizing forms of radiation, meaning that exposure to them can cause cell mutation and/or death.

    How Laser light is generated?

    Electrons are usually in a resting stage; when they absorb a photon, they are raised to an excited stage.

    Once raised to an excited stage, the electron naturally tends to return to its resting stage, and does so by emitting a photon (similar to the one absorbed): this is called spontaneous

    emission

    .

    When in its excited stage, the electron absorbs a second photon, it then needs to emit two photons (similar to the ones absorbed): This is called stimulated

    emission

    .

    Characteristics of laser light

    Laser light is Monochromatic.

    Regular white light is composed of different colors (Multichromatic).

    Wavelength: Each color has specific wavelength and frequency.
