Laser radiation in detail: low-intensity lasers
Laser technologies have long become an integral part of the dermatocosmetology office. These manipulations are quite simple to perform, do not require tissue invasion, and have a pronounced and rapid effect. What interesting things do we know about the therapeutic effects of low-intensity lasers?
Laser radiation is a type of physical energy that is not found in natural light sources. This radiation is produced by special devices - optical quantum generators (OCG) of various designs, which are called lasers (from the English phrase Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation - LASER).
Laser radiation and the principles of its production by OCG were simultaneously and independently discovered in the early 60s of the last century by Soviet and American physicists. And within a few years (by the end of the same decade) the first attempts at therapeutic use of low-intensity (therapeutic) laser radiation were made.
Laser radiation is emitted by atoms of the working substance of OCG, which can be represented by a gas, liquid, crystal, semiconductor.
