Nowadays many laser hair removal devices supplier and trader intend to show the ice frozen head to customers to prove that their device sapphire cooling is best. But is it beneficial to do ice freeze on the laser head of diode laser device? Let us discuss this in a technical way:
First we need to understand how the contact cooling of the laser hair removal machine is formed, and why the main functions of some devices with powerful heating systems are damaged or broken.
Why you need a built-in cooling system
A laser light with a wavelength of 808-810 mm or trio wave 755nm and 1064nm are shoting. It is found in the hair, hair follicles and pigments. Melanin is getting hotter and hotter, and the hair roots becomes sleeping due to high temperature. The hair can’t get the raw material to metabolize normally, it takes about 10 days that the hairs Will fall.
During the course of treatment, the patient felt very hot. In order to avoid burns and reduce bad feelings uncomfortable, a contact cooling system was used. The sapphire contact was applied different from the other types of LED laser heating systems or IPL OPT PDL systems,to choose a real cool laser processing system is right for you.
How the crystal and sapphire contact system works?
Contact or forced cooling,When contacting, the contact surface is cool. For contact cool, they usually use sapphire glass or quartz glass. Each material has its own heating characteristics (capable of transferring low temperature with minimum loss) and can ensure the high rate of transmittance of light. During the surgery, the glass can control and directly contact the patient’s skin. The laser beam passes through it quickly and completely.
Suppliers and manufacturers often install sapphire glass in their laser hand-pieces. It is better transmits light, guides the power and the value of heating, which means that the skin is cooled more effectively when contacted. Quartz glass usually uses quartz glass.Also in the head of handle, there will be 1 or 2 pcs of TEC peltier to help the water cooling better conducted to the sapphire and the light guide. So all the sapphire, glasses or Quartz TEC peltier materials they effect the ice cooling feelings and the effectiveness.
Before the operation, the temperature of the glass drops due to thermometric conversion or elemental elements. They are under the control of the wild laser. That is, the element is cooled by the glass and the glass acts on the skin. The higher the heat supply of the glass, the temperature The more accurate it is.
Super powerful cooling ICE system maybe bad? why ice cooling is kind of manipulations?
The stronger the cooling feeling when doing laser treatment , the better for the patient, which seems logical. It seems that when customer do not feel any hurt its a good way for clinic reflections. But per our researching, it is not good to form a kind of ICE cap effect.
The effect of long time ice frozen will form frost on the aperture surface is called “ice cap”.Many manufacturer calls this is an advantage of a powerful cooling system.In fact when the ice cap appears immediately after the machine is opened by overly controlled and manipulated inside. Such kidn of system does not pass the laser heat from the laser diode, but only cools the skin.No use to do hair removal.
In another side, when you are doing the ICE cooling frozen for a long time, the ice will be Condensation inside the laser handle head, which is forming a lot of moisture for the diode laser stack. It will shorten the lifetime of the laser bar of course.
What is the threat to the device and the patient?
On one side, the device will be much more easier to have shorter lifetime and the laser bar may burn soon.
But for patients,because the sapphire glass freezes, the laser energy power is cut off. This procedure is becoming less and less effective for patients, also will be big risk for seller that the poor reputation of the machine affects sales.
The only result is that the hair removal effect is reduced, and the risk of the device sales will be falling off quickly.
In most of these kinds of “Ice cap” devices, the cooling is delivered immediately, and they are not controlled by the power of the flash driver. After the machine is turned on, the operation starts to cool, and it will become an ice cap within 1-3 minutes. This is not the correct operation of the device software.
Also excessive cooling ice will affects the patient,how and why patients are upset?
Before the hair removal procedure, it is best not to ICE cool. The doctor also does not recommend the use of applied anesthesia, such as the use of “emily” cream.
The problem is that when it is cool and creamy, the laser transmission way will be cut off. During the hair process, the doctor should give them a high temperature of the flash. That is the heat is 70-80 degrees, or even 100 degrees. It is difficult to guess the laser energy. It will heat up to the temperature of solidification within a few times, or it will increase the growth of hair because of the heat.
This procedure may not be effective, especially where the depth of the hair follicle is lowest, such as in the upper lip area.
How should the ICE cooling system work on the handle of a single laser?
For customers and projectors, coldness or cooling should be reasonable and safe. Let us explain the example of IVYICE in motion laser head.
Thanks to the intelligent system of the “smart” system IVS technology, after you turn on the machine, it will not automatically cool down. Only you touch the ICE cooling, it will cool down the head till -5 the temperature of the sapphire.But when you stop working for 45 seconds, the cooling ICE will be turned off automatically. In the laser flashing and working procedure, the cold is growing and cooling. The stronger the radiation of laser shots, the stronger the cooling feeling .
This does not mean that the patient feels nothing, but he is not as bad as possible. At the same time, the surgical effect will not be reduced, because the skin is completely cool after the flash, not before it. The procedure is more comfortable.
The heat of the laser radiator is obtained with the help of a micro-channel cooling system. The number of channels per unit is the largest. For better liquid transfer, their shapes are different from macro channel or non channel. We have talked in the last pages also,please click:
In All,we want to say that exposure to cooling ICE has nothing to do with the ICE cap contact, but the most important thing for laser hair removal system is light energy absorbed and its cooling system inside the devices. Contact cool should not cool the glass to lower body temperature leads to no surgical treatment effect, but contact cool should consider the safe and effectiveness of the laser device also.
