Affirm Laser
Affirm laser is a medical technology used for skin rejuvenation and has been used to treat wrinkles, scars, hyperpigmentation and tissue coagulation. The prized benefit of the Affirm laser is its ability to tighten the skin in a cosmetic fashion, this making the patient appear much younger then they in fact might be. One of the reasons the Affirm laser is so popular is because it can be manipulated to focus at varied areas at varied depths. For example, at a wavelength of 1400nm, the Affirm laser is able to target issues involving the junction of the dermal and epidermal layers of skin. At a wavelength of 1320nm, the Affirm laser is able to target the collagen in the dermis to improve the tightness of the skin. This variable wavelength distinguished the affirm laser from other medical lasers like Fraxel, which is used to penetrate much deeper into the dermal layer of the skin.
