How the GentleLASE Alexandrite laser technology Works
The most important application area of alexandrite lasers is dermatology. For example, such lasers are used for hair removal, for removing tattoos and for treating visible leg veins and pigmented lesions. In the case of hair removal, the light from a long-pulse laser is preferentially absorbed at the hair shafts, and the resulting heat damages these hair shafts and the surrounding hair follicles (selective photothermolysis). By cooling the skin during the treatment, damage to the epidermis is minimized. The short emission wavelength of an alexandrite laser, compared with that of a Nd:YAG laser, is beneficial for removing finer hairs, but increases the risk of skin damage in case of darker skin. (The absorption occurs mostly in melanin, which occurs in hair but also in dark skin, and less in hemoglobin.)
Tattoos can be removed or at least lightened by applying light which can be absorbed by the used ink, which is then chemically transformed and subsequently removed by the body. The short pulse duration obtained with a Q-switched laser favors the preferential heating of small ink particles. In comparison to ruby lasers, the high pulse repetition rates and average power of alexandrite lasers is beneficial for such applications.
In dermatological applications, high-intensity pulses from a free-running laser are normally applied to large areas of skin. The high pulse energy and average power allow for a reasonably short treatment time. Due to the large beam area, there are no special requirements on beam quality. This means that relatively simple lasers can be used for such purposes.
The substantial wavelength tunability, which is made possible by the wide emission spectrum of alexandrite, can be exploited in laser spectroscopy. However, in this application area, alexandrite lasers are not often used, partly because titanium–sapphire lasers offer much broader tunability in that wavelength region and also exhibit much larger transition cross-sections, which can be advantageous in various respects.
The Alexandrite laser hair removal system works in a similar way to the Ruby Laser hair removal system. The laser wavelength used in this system is 755nm, which is in the red-infrared part of the light spectrum. This laser wavelength, like the ruby laser, is absorbed mostly by the melanin and hair follicles rather than the surrounding tissues. The Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal system is very common and so you will probably see Alexandrite laser treatments offered in many laser hair removal clinics you look at. It is also the quickest of all the currently available laser treatments in the cosmetic hair removal market. The best results of the Alexandrite system are seen in those with light to olive skin types, particularly those with very light skin. Such systems can also be used on albino skin and skin with freckles, which many other laser hair removal systems would be ineffective on.
The GentleLASE Alexandrite laser hair removal technology works by using revolutionary long-pulsed high energy lasers which emit a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle leaving the surrounding skin unaffected and resulting in permanent hair removal. The visible light source used in this procedure is attracted to melanin, which is the pigment found in hair. Because the light is attracted to dark colours the darker the hair the more effective the treatment. Therefore, number of laser hair removal sittings required can vary between 4 and 8 depending on the melanin content of hair for permanent hair removal. GentleLASE Alexandrite Laser is suitable for lighter skin type and not recommended for tanned skin or darker skin type.
