There are many types of photoelectric devices used in modern beauty and medical fields, with different working principles and energy characteristics. For example, IPL (intense pulsed light) is a broad-spectrum light, while lasers are narrow-spectrum light with good monochromaticity and coherence.
Radiofrequency (RF) utilizes the thermal effect of electromagnetic waves, and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU, such as the ultrasound knife) utilizes the thermal and mechanical effects of ultrasound. Different photoelectric technologies have different requirements for the guidance/guidance gel used in conjunction. Pingchuang Medical Group, with its deep technical accumulation and flexible customization capabilities, can provide guidance gel solutions that meet the needs of different photoelectric equipment.
For devices such as IPL and lasers that use light energy, the core requirement for the guidance gel is excellent "transparency." The gel needs to have a high transmission rate within the specific wavelength range emitted by the device (IPL is broad-spectrum, and lasers are specific wavelengths), to minimize the absorption and scattering loss of light energy in the gel. Pingchuang Medical provides solutions for such devices, focusing on the selection of high-purity water and high-transparency polymer matrices, strictly controlling impurities and bubbles to ensure the efficient transmission of light energy to the skin target. At the same time, the gel is usually designed to be colorless to avoid interference with the absorption of specific wavelength light by color. Good cooling performance is also an important consideration for this type of gel to protect the epidermis from thermal damage.
For RF devices, the form of energy is electromagnetic waves, and their mechanism of action is mainly to produce thermal effects by generating currents in the tissue. Therefore, the gel used in conjunction needs to have good "conductivity" or "thermal conductivity." Pingchuang Medical can provide conductive gel formulations containing appropriate electrolytes (such as sodium chloride) to reduce skin impedance and help the RF current penetrate the skin more effectively, producing sufficient heat in the target tissue (such as the dermis) to stimulate the regeneration of collagen. At the same time, the moisturizing and lubricating properties of the gel are also important to ensure good contact and smooth sliding between the electrode and the skin. Some RF devices also emphasize cooling protection, and the gel formulation also needs to take this into account.
For devices such as high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU, such as the ultrasound knife) that utilize ultrasonic energy, the main function of the gel is similar to that of a medical ultrasound coupling agent, i.e., to effectively transmit ultrasonic energy. It needs to have the matching acoustic impedance with the skin and the device probe, as well as low acoustic attenuation. Since HIFU energy is focused on the deep layer, it may produce higher temperatures, and the gel also needs to provide certain lubrication and surface cooling effects. Pingchuang Medical can provide gel solutions with good acoustic properties and appropriate viscosity for HIFU devices.
Besides the differences in energy conduction properties, the operation methods and treatment sites of different devices may also place different requirements on the physical properties (such as viscosity) of the gel. For example, devices that require precise pinpoint operation may prefer gels with slightly higher viscosity and less fluidity, while devices that require large-area sliding may need gels with better spreadability and lower viscosity. Pingchuang Medical can provide a variety of viscosity grades and can customize according to specific equipment and operational habits.
The solutions of Pingchuang Medical are also reflected in the packaging form. We can provide various specifications and forms such as bottles, tubes, and drums that are suitable for different equipment operation desks or usage scenarios.
In summary, Pingchuang Medical recognizes that "one gel is not suitable for all purposes." Different photonic devices require matching, performance-optimized guiding/guiding energy gels. With its professional formula technology, flexible customization capabilities, and understanding of various photonic technology principles, Pingchuang Medical can provide customized solutions for customers to ensure that the selected gel can maximize the performance of the equipment and improve the effectiveness and safety of treatment. Regardless of which photonic device you use, Pingchuang Medical can find or customize the most suitable gel "partner" for you.
