How it works
The working principle is selective photothermolysis, described by Anderson and Parrish back in 1983 and still the foundation of laser dermatology. Choose a wavelength your target absorbs strongly while nearby tissue mostly ignores it, deliver enough energy fast enough, and the target breaks down while its surroundings stay intact.
At 1064 nm the key absorbers are hemoglobin in blood vessels and melanin in the follicular bulb. Epidermal melanin takes up comparatively little at this wavelength, which is what makes darker skin treatable in practice. The beam passes through the surface, reaches the target vessel or follicle, and with sufficient energy density damages that structure without wounding the epidermis. Our device manuals state it plainly: surrounding normal tissue absorbs very little or none.
Cooling handles the rest of the safety equation. The handpiece uses sapphire contact cooling to draw heat out of the epidermis while you fire, so the fluences these indications genuinely need stay tolerable at the surface. Energy also travels by direct output rather than fiber delivery, an arrangement our engineering archive credits with avoiding a meaningful share of transmission loss between laser and skin.
