The Alexandrite Laser is a medical device based on the principle of laser light emission. The laser beam is generated by a crystalline medium made of a material called alexandrite.
The Alexandrite laser operates at a wavelength of approximately 755 nanometers. This wavelength lies in the near-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum and can therefore penetrate deep into the skin.
Lasers are frequently used in dermatological and medical aesthetics. They have the ability to treat a variety of skin problems, including the removal of tattoos, pigment spots, age spots, and freckles. They can also be used for hair removal.
The Alexandrite laser works through selective photothermolysis, in which the laser beam selectively absorbs the pigment in the skin cells and is then destroyed by heat. This leads to the pigments being broken down and removed by the body, while the surrounding tissue remains largely intact.
Treatment with the Alexandrite laser is generally quick and relatively painless, although slight redness or swelling may sometimes occur, which subsides quickly. The number of treatments can vary depending on individual needs and the skin condition being treated.
It is important to note that the Alexandrite laser should be operated by trained professionals to achieve the best possible results and minimize potential risks. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a qualified physician or dermatologist before treatment.
