POCKET LASER AESTHETIC MEDICINE

Modern dentistry is increasingly moving towards an aesthetic, conservative and minimally invasive approach to ensure satisfactory results for both patient and practitioner. The clinician is often faced with situations in which teeth show colour changes (discolouration), and sometimes pigmentation occurs in the gums and oral mucosa. These changes in hard and soft tissue colours can have a significant impact on the patient's perception, causing significant psychological and social consequences.

To address this aesthetic problem, there are several laser devices with specific wavelengths that can be used minimally invasively. The diode laser with a power of 915 nm is an advanced technology that has also found wide use in the field of aesthetic medicine. This laser, known for its ability to operate in the near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, offers significant advantages when it comes to improving the aesthetic appearance of various areas of the body. One of the main uses of the 915 nm diode laser is the treatment of skin dyschromia. These dyschromias can be caused by various conditions, including hyperpigmentation, sun spots, superficial vascular lesions and other skin imperfections. The 915 nm NIR diode laser is able to penetrate deep into tissue without damaging the skin surface, making it ideal for treating skin discolourations without causing visible damage to the epidermis. This laser selectively targets the chromophore (pigment) responsible for the dyschromia, such as melanin in dark spots or haemoglobin in dilated blood vessels. This makes it possible to successfully resolve dyschromia and improve the appearance of the skin safely and effectively. Another use of the 915 nm NIR diode laser is the treatment of varicose veins and small vascular lesions. This laser is able to coagulate the walls of dilated blood vessels or varicose veins, selectively closing them and thus reducing their visibility. This treatment is minimally invasive and requires less recovery time than traditional methods for treating varicose veins. In addition, the 915 nm NIR diode laser is also used for skin rejuvenation. It stimulates collagen production in the skin, improving skin elasticity and firmness. This effect can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, contributing to a younger, fresher appearance.

It should be emphasised that the use of the 915 nm diode laser for aesthetic purposes must be performed by highly qualified professionals, such as doctors and technicians specialised in aesthetic medicine, to ensure safe and effective results. Furthermore, it is important to undergo a preliminary assessment to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for each patient's specific needs. In summary, the 915 nm diode laser is a versatile and powerful tool used in aesthetic medicine to improve skin appearance, treat skin dyschromia, reduce the visibility of varicose veins and promote skin rejuvenation. Thanks to its ability to operate selectively and minimally invasively, it has become an important asset in the world of aesthetic medicine.
