Alexandrite laser

Alexandrite laser can generate powerful focused fluxes of laser energy which only target necessary areas and don’t traumatize to the surrounding tissues. The Alexandrite laser has a wavelength of 755NM. The main component is artificial Alexandrite in combination with chrome. Alexandrite laser has the highest penetration speed among all the alternatives, so skin traumatization is almost excluded.

The following procedures can be performed using the Alexandrite laser:

• Laser hair removal;

• Spider veins and skin pigmentation laser therapy;

• Skin rejuvenation;

• Dermatological laser therapy: acne, post-acne, scars and keloid scars treatment;

• Rosacea treatment;

• Phototherapy.

How does Alexandrite laser can cope with this list of possible problems? The answer is: easy! Laser pulse quickly and deeply penetrates into the epidermis without damaging the skin surface. The laser beam is focused precisely on the problem area. During a hair removal session, the laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles. This absorption process causes the hair follicles to heat up rapidly, which damages or destroys them at their root, thereby inhibiting future hair growth.

To ensure patient comfort and skin safety, Alexandrite laser devices are typically equipped with cooling mechanisms. These cooling elements help protect the surrounding skin by maintaining a lower temperature, minimizing the risk of burns or discomfort during the procedure.

The main advantages of the Alexandrite laser:

1. No risk of burns or other skin damage.

2. The procedures are comfortable and anesthesia is not required.

3. Stimulation of natural collagen and elastin production; an evident skin lifting.

4. A minimum of contraindications;

5. Visible effect after first session.

Preparations

No long-term special preparation for the therapy is required, however, there are several rules that must be followed:

• The skin must be dry, clean and without makeup;

• Avoid tanning in solarium and sunbathing on the beach at least 48 hours before the procedure;

• Avoid scrubs and peels at least 3-6 days before the session;

• If anesthesia is required, the procedure will begin only after the anesthetic has been completely absorbed into the epidermis, not earlier than an hour later.

Eligibility

Alexandrite laser therapy is suitable for you in cases where you need to:

• Get rid of unwanted body hair, to make the skin absolutely smooth;

• Improve skin tone and elasticity, get rid of age-related changes;

• Remove pigment spots, freckles and annoying tattoos;

• Deal with rosacea, acne, post-acne, scars and keloid scars;

• Reduce the degree of skin oiliness;

• Treat vascular pathologies (including spider veins, hemangiomas, birthmarks).

It should also be considered that the Alexandrite laser is most effective on light skin phototypes and dark hair. More detailed advice on determining the optimal treatment method should be obtained at a preliminary consultation with a specialist.

Risks

Since the laser device is equipped with cooling cryo-components, and the beam impact is clearly focused and directed strictly at the work area, there are practically no risks during the procedure. Also, anesthesia is applied to the skin if necessary, and the device is adjusted based on the individual characteristics of the patient, which further increases the safety of the impact.

Recovery and Aftercare

Alexandrite laser treatment is atraumatic and safe, so the rehabilitation period is reduced. In order for the result to please you for a long time, you should follow some recommendations during the recovery period:

1. The first 2-3 days after the session do not visit sauna or take hot bath.

2. Avoid sunbathing on the beach and visiting a solarium in the first 3-6 days.

3. Do not use any skin care products that injure the skin (scrubs, peels, aggressive products) and do not rub the skin with a hard washcloth, otherwise you can provoke inflammation.

4. Avoid massage on the first day.
