Caci use a number of different lasers within our Medispa locations. Depending on the treatment you are receiving the best device will be selected for you and your requirements.
Each of the lasers that Caci use produce an effect upon the skin as a result of depositing photons of light onto the skin. Each of the various machines, does it in a different way to produce a different effect.
Lasers
Lasers have been around for a long time. They are used in many health related fileld, opthalmic, surgical, dermatology etc. Laser light, by its very definition (L light A amplification, Selective emitting, Radiation) is very pure and very specific to its target. For example a laser that produces light in the wavelength of 532 nm will react with any chromophor that preferentially absorbes 532nm light. In this instance oxyhemoglobin, in blood. This 532nm lasrs are used for the treatment of vascular conditions. that are very many different wavelengths of light produced by lasers and many target chromophors inthe body.

VPL
A Variable Pulse Light Laser (VPL) is similar to an IPL. They still have shielded wavelengths, and pulses, however the VPL can turn the lamp on and off for variable periods of time. This gives you the added advantage of allowing you to tune the light to match the properties of the chromophor you are targeting. Specifically the rate at which the chromophor radiates heat away into the surrounding tissue. This is called thermal relaxation.

IPL
IPL stands for Intense Pulse Light. These devices are usually shielded to restrict the wavelengths of light that emit. For example an IPL used in the removal of hair may have its wavelength clipped to be greater than 550nm but less than 900nm. In doing this you limit the chromophors that will react with this light. The other ways of modifying the treatment parameters of an IPL device, is to modify the intensity of the light, and the number of pulses that you fire within a short space of time. the pulse length and the rest time between each pulse.
