Laser therapy in cosmetology - for which skin?

Laser therapy has been used in cosmetology for at least several decades. Laser stands for the first letters of the words Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser device produces a beam of very bright light in the form of short pulses or in continuous form. Such laser light can effectively act on a wide variety of skin problems and effectively rejuvenate and regenerate the skin.

Laser types

Based on the power they have, lasers are divided into high, medium and low power lasers. Medium and low power lasers are used in cosmetic surgeries. These types of lasers are often referred to as cold or soft lasers, as opposed to the high-powered ones (hot, or hard lasers). Treatments with low power lasers are referred to as low power laser therapy – LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy). Also used by name are biostimulative lasers, due to their mode of action on tissues.

How does laser light work?

Laser light, when acting on tissue, can be scattered, reflected, transmitted or absorbed. From the point of view of cosmetic therapy, the phenomenon of absorption is the most relevant. In tissues, laser light is absorbed by chromophores. Depending on the type of laser, the chromophore in the skin can be water, melanin, haemoglobin, collagen or other active substances contained in cosmetic preparations. The strictly defined wavelength emitted by the laser is absorbed by the chromophore. The light energy is then transformed into thermal energy and the chromophore is thermally destroyed – hence another name for such therapy: photothermolysis (photo – light, thermo – heat, lysis – breakdown). In the case of medium and low power lasers, thermolysis does not occur; they can only slightly raise the temperature in the tissue to 0.5 degrees C. Their action is based on a photochemical or biostimulative effect.

Laser therapy in cosmetology – PDT lasers in Chantarelle therapies

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the biostimulative effect of laser light absorbed by chromophores without thermal effect. The PDT MASTER® and Photo-Dynamiq® lasers are diode field lasers for innovative targeted PDT photodynamic therapies. Chantarelle’s lasers are low-energy LLLT lasers that have no thermal effect and do not damage tissue. Their action is based on the initiation of biochemical reactions in cells. The therapeutic effect is induced by the action of a precise laser light beam, appropriately selected Chantarelle bio-chromophores and a composition of unique active ingredients. The most important task of laser therapy is to deliver the right dose of radiation energy to the appropriate area of tissues affected by pathology.

This dose depends on:

the type of skin problem
the depth of penetration of light of a specific length and power depending on the location of the lesion
irradiation technique
patient response to laser radiation

Results of treatments with biostimulative laser:.

increase in synthesis of DNA, RNA and proteins, including collagen
increase in the formation of new blood vessels
healing of wounds and skin infections, anti-inflammatory effect
oxygenation of tissues
increase in the number of mitochondria
increased immune barrier
increase in nerve cell regeneration
increase in the concentration of endorphins, which have an analgesic effect

Biostimulant lasers therefore promote wound healing and inflammation. They can be used, for example, for acne vulgaris, as well as in photorejuvenation. They can be used for pain relief, instead of acupuncture needles (laser puncture). In addition, they have a stimulating effect on immune processes, facilitate nerve regeneration, have an anti-edema effect and improve microcirculation.

Laser therapy for vascular and sensitive skin

Selected laser photodynamic therapies are designed for thin, delicate, vascular, sensitive, atopic and allergic skin in need of strengthening and regeneration, with symptoms of rosacea. Chantarelle recommends the following laser treatments:

Platinum Peel & Cure Sensiter
Black Essential Reduction of the Symptoms of Erythema and Redness
Ferulashi

Effects of treatments:

reduction of the symptoms of erythema and redness
vessel strengthening, improvement of microcirculation reduction of vascular and microcirculatory damage
Hydrating effect
moisturising, soothing, calming and immunomobilising effect
increased resistance to external aggressions
improved elasticity of the skinreduction of symptoms of irritation and inflammation of various origins
improving skin elasticity

Laser therapy for oily and acne-prone skin

PDT treatments are also designed for oily, seborrhoeic skin with acne vulgaris, bacterial lesions and signs of inflammation, for contaminated skin with enlarged pores and blackheads and with acne scars. Such treatments include dermotherapies:

Sebumelan Holistic
Retinocal Pure
Platinum Peel & Cure Retinologic
Black Essential Regulation and Sebum Reduction
Superior with retinol

- regulation of sebaceous glands
- reduction of sebum production in acne vulgaris and adult acne
- systematic pore reduction
- antibacterial action
- Hydration and regeneration of the hydrolipid mantle
- Hydration and regeneration of the hydrolipid mantle
- reduction of irritation and inflammation

Laser therapy – use in cosmetology for skin with hyperpigmentation

Photodynamic treatments for skin with hyperpigmentation of various origins, including dermal melasma, post-inflammatory, post-traumatic stains, after sclerotherapy and for skin with uneven skin tone are mainly such:

Agemelan Holistic
Platinum Peel & Cure Melaner
Black Essential Depigmentation and Hyperpigmentation Reduction

Effects of the treatments:

- reduction of superficial hyperpigmentation: lentigines (sun spots, age spots, “liver” spots), freckles, epidermal melasma
- dilution of hyperpigmentation originating in the dermis
- reduction of the formation of new hyperpigmentation
- reduction of signs of photoageing
- restoration of enzymatic pathways – inhibition of melanogenesis
- stimulation of enzymatic sirtuin activity and cellular cleansing – detoxification
- restoration of collagen and skin structures whose damage causes and exacerbates pigmentary changes
- strengthening of the skin’s protective barrier against the effects of damage

Laser therapy for mature skin

Laser therapy in cosmetology includes the use of lasers in the care and restoration of mature skin. Photodynamic laser treatments are very often directed at any type of mature skin with visible signs of ageing, with loss of tone, low elasticity, with a network of fine wrinkles and with deep wrinkles. We particularly recommend:

Superior Youth Boost
Plant Plasma
Platinum Peel & Cure Age Clinic
Regenevia DNA
Exo Lift Stem Cell Code
4 Black Essential treatments: Volumetric Face and Chin Lift / Peptide-Hyaluronic Wrinkle Filler / Collagen Reconstruction / Fundamental Skin Rejuvenation for Mature Women’s Face and Bust

- renewal and regeneration of the skin of the face, neck and décolleté
- reduction of wrinkles and furrows
- improvement of elasticity, resilience and firmness
- smoothing and moisturising
- stimulation of collagen production
- improving the structure of elastic fibres
- stimulation of cells for activity and renewal
- antioxidant protection
