And there are more developments on the horizon. Advanced Medical sees the pre-owned / used cosmetic laser market growing faster than ever. Lower equipment prices have opened the door to new specialties for professionals from veterinary medicine to family and general practice.
New advances in cosmetic laser surgery have made it possible to safely treat a variety of skin conditions and skin types with no patient down time. Most exciting is that those involved in laser surgery research believe the industry is still in its infancy.
Laser hair removal is still a very popular treatment, especially as manufacturers continue to improve the speed, long-term reduction and versatility of their hair removal equipment. Diode (800-810nm), and Nd:YAG (1064nm) appear to be the better choice for hair removal on skin types 4-6, though they do work on skin types 1-3. The Alexandrite (755nm) and IPL (intense pulse light) seem to be the lasers of choice for skin types 1-4. It wasn't long ago that Lumenis was one of the only companies offering IPL or flash lamp type equipment. Today similar technology is being offered by Sciton, Palomar, Cutera, DermaMed and Candela. When it comes to non-invasive skin rejuvenation, IPL or other flash lamp type technology is the equipment of choice. The versatility of this technology, versus that of a fixed-wavelength laser, makes it even more attractive.
Tattoo removal lasers are making a comeback, fuelled in part by the possibility of performing this procedure without leaving a scar. The older Q-switched ruby and alexandrite lasers manufactured in the eighties and nineties still work, though they are getting old. New systems featuring 532/1064/585/650nm wavelengths can erase just about all the tattoo colors, even yellow which is the toughest.
Full face laser skin resurfacing utilizing C02 lasers has slowed down considerably, but these are still a great laser for cutting and ablating of tissue and removal of moles and warts. Erbium YAG lasers are making a comeback. Patients see dramatic results after a number of light ablative resurfacing procedures over time. Superficial wrinkles, age spots, acne scars and hyper pigmentation can all benefit from the Erbium. Reliant’s Fraxel technology offers another option for facial rejuvenation and periorbital wrinkles, working with a 1550nm wavelength. The difference between the Erbium lasers and the Fraxel laser can be seen as micro and macro technology. The Fraxel is much more targeted and precise, with minimal thermal damage or down time.
LED (light emitting diode) and PDT (photo dynamic therapy) equipment are gaining popularity as patients are less willing to tolerate any down time, and the demand for non-invasive cosmetic procedures continues to grow. Advances in technology have made these devices very easy to use.
RF (radio frequency) devices are gaining momentum, with Syneron offering a system for hair removal, and Cutera and Thermage targeting skin tightening.
