In recent years, technological beauty has set off a wave of consumption upgrades, and consumers’ pursuit of beauty has gradually risen from “beauty of appearance” to “beauty of health”. Laser technology has increasingly become the “new darling” of the market by providing safe, comfortable, fast and efficient beauty solutions.
 
On the afternoon of the 21st, at the “Photoelectric Empowerment Medical Beauty Technology and Market Development Forum” jointly organized by China Optical Expo (CIOE) and CCBE Chengdu Beauty Expo, many aesthetic experts gathered to discuss Chinese aesthetics and photoelectric medical beauty technology. new trend. Li Lan, product manager of BWT, shared with the industry “Semiconductor lasers help the development of medical beauty applications”

Laser medical beauty is on the stage of health

Semiconductor lasers are a type of lasers that have matured earlier and progressed faster. With the characteristics of small size, light weight, low power consumption, fast response, long life, and wide wavelength coverage, they are widely used in the field of laser medical beauty.
 
Laser medical cosmetology is divided into laser medical treatment and laser cosmetology. According to reports, laser medical treatment is mainly used in life science fields such as diagnosis, surgery, physical therapy, photodynamic therapy, and laser-assisted processing. Laser cosmetology is responsible for the redefinition of “beauty”. On the one hand, it repairs and remodels the appearance and body, such as liposuction, body shaping, plastic surgery and other application scenarios; on the other hand, it enhances the external beauty, such as whitening and rejuvenation, hair removal, and mole removal. Freckle removal, etc.

“With the development of the laser industry, consumption upgrades, and the tide of running hospitals in society, laser medical beauty has entered the stage of the medical and health industry.” According to the “2022 China Laser Industry Development Report”, the sales revenue of my country’s laser equipment industry in 2022 will be 86.2 billion, accounting for 58.8% of the world, and it is expected to grow by 8%-11% year-on-year in 2023. At the same time, according to data from Research Consulting, the compound annual growth rate of China’s medical aesthetics market will reach 23.8% from 2016 to 2020; it will reach 227.4 billion yuan in 2021, with a growth rate of 15.1%, accounting for 21.9% of the world; The market size is about 15%. It is estimated that in the next five years, China’s laser medical beauty industry will maintain a compound annual growth rate of 17.4%, and continue to grow rapidly.
 
Why is laser medical aesthetics developing so rapidly? According to reports, the characteristics of laser monochromaticity, coherence, directivity and high brightness determine its advantages in medical aesthetic applications. Compared with traditional medical aesthetics, laser medical aesthetics belongs to a type of non-interventional therapy or minimally invasive therapy. It not only has quick results and short recovery time, but also has small treatment incisions and can prevent scarring, which is accepted by ordinary consumers.

Boost global laser medical beauty consumption
 
BWT has an early deployment in the field of semiconductor lasers, and has a first-mover advantage in laser medical aesthetics. According to reports, BWT provided medical semiconductor lasers in batches to medical customers as early as 2005, and developed a series of multi-wavelength semiconductor lasers.
 
Among them, 450nm and 808nm wavelength lasers are used in the field of dentistry, 1064nm wavelength lasers are used in the field of medical cosmetology, 980nm/1940nm wavelength lasers are used in the field of urological surgery, 1470nm wavelength lasers are used in vascular surgery, wrinkle removal, and acne removal fields, and 635nm wavelength lasers are used in the field of medical cosmetology. Lasers are used in the field of photodynamic therapy.
 
Based on nearly 20 years of technology accumulation, BWT has accumulated core technologies such as patch technology, multi-single-tube coupling technology, beam shaping technology and packaging technology. Therefore, BWT semiconductor lasers have high reliability, high stability, high coupling efficiency, and functional Comprehensive, covering a wide range of wavelengths, with solid technical support. In addition, it can also be customized according to customer needs.
 
From the point of view of product function, BWT multi-wavelength semiconductor lasers not only provide products and overall solutions with functions of fiber monitoring, power monitoring, temperature monitoring, indicator light and replaceable windows. After many iterations, they have become very small and portable, and their performance is widely recognized by customers.
 
For example, in the field of dental treatment, BWT is customized according to customer needs. It only needs to output multiple wavelengths through one optical fiber to realize “one laser device, multiple medical functions”, and facilitate the comprehensive development of laser dental medicine. In the domestic and foreign markets, BWT quickly opened up the European, American and domestic markets by virtue of its cost performance and delivery capabilities that surpassed similar products, making BWT an internationally renowned supplier in the field of laser medical beauty.
