WHAT IS LASER?

Laser is a type of beam defined by abbreviation from the initials of the English LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation). Laser light is single-phase, monochromatic and phased light that travels parallel to each other without scattering. A wavelength and energy are used that will not damage the tissues outside the targeted area (selective photothermolysis). When light of the appropriate wavelength to be absorbed by that tissue is applied in less or equal time (time required for the heat to be lost without transmitting it to the environment), energy is created in the target tissue without affecting the surrounding tissue.

The aim of laser therapy is to match the wavelengths with the target absorption spectrum. The aim is to apply a wavelength that is specifically absorbed by the chromoform (endogenous chromophores in the skin: water, Hb, melanin and carotene) and to ensure the destruction of the target by providing heat accumulation in the target.

High energy laser The chromophore absorbing the light generates a high amount of heat and causes tissue destruction in the chromophore. Ideally, the aim is for the heat accumulation to be only on the target and the neighboring structures to suffer no or minimal damage. strong>
