Laser technology – Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
The term laser stands for “Light Amplificationby Stimulated Emissionof Radiation” and describes the basic process of light amplification by stimulated emission, which leads to the creation of laser radiation.
The light emitted by the atoms is coupled to create a flat light wave with a precisely defined frequency. This means that, in contrast to IPL, the entire energy of a laser is discharged at a single wavelength (monochromatic light).
Each wavelength has a specific penetration depth. As different hair types are anchored at different depths in the skin, conventional lasers that only work with one wavelength can only optimally treat one specific hair type.
The best-known types of laser for permanent hair removal are the ruby laser (694nm), the alexandrite laser (755nm), the diode laser (800nm) and the Nd:YAG laser (1064nm).
The Toplite Cosmetic Systems X-Laser-NXT combines three wavelengths (755nm/808nm/1064nm) in one handpiece so that all skin and hair types can be successfully and painlessly removed permanently.
In addition, the NEW Toplite Cosmetic Systems X-Laser 4 MAX combines four wavelengths (755nm/808nm/940nm/1064nm) bundled in one handpiece, so that all skin and hair types can be depilated successfully and painlessly.
Also based on selective photothermolysis, Toplite Cosmetic Systems X-Laser R works with the wavelengths 532nm and 1064nm to treat unwanted tattoos of various colors and pigment disorders. Other possible applications include skin rejuvenation, soft or carbon peeling and the treatment of nail fungus.
