Application of laser to the treatment practice for dermatologists and aesthetics is quite common. Although this technique has been widely used for many years, the mechanism has not been clarified.

According to Susanne Dams, the understanding of the effects of heat from lasers is still too small, so more research is needed in this area. Dams experimented with thermal shock from 45 to 60 ° C on human skin without using a laser. This eliminates the effect of laser light. The next test is to interact with the laser on the skin to compare and contrast.
Susanne Dams has shown that thermal shock helps the skin increase collagen production, which is an important factor for skin rejuvenation. In humans, collagen production is known to not continue until age 25, so the skin is sagging, aging, wrinkled. The test showed that with a laser that produces thermal shock at 45 ° C for 8-10 seconds is the most effective. With a temperature of 60 ° C, it takes only 2 seconds for the cell to be damaged. The test also showed that thermal shock affects skin rejuvenation rather than light from the laser.
The laser allows high impact performance because it heats specific skin areas without hurting the surrounding area. However, the research still has to be done further to know how long the therapeutic duration as well as the effectiveness of each wave of laser thermal shock is effective.
