- [1.1 Discovery](https://hydurage.com/courses/ozone-therapy-in-aesthetics-wellness-course/lessons/1-1-discovery/) - 1.1 DiscoveryOzone (O3) was first identified and named in 1839 by the German-Swiss chemist Christian Friedrich Schönbein, who noticed a distinctive sharp smell around electrical equipment and traced it to a previously unrecognised form of oxygen. He named it after the Greek word 'ozein,' meaning 'to smell.' Within a few decades, chemists and physicians in
- [2.1 What Ozone Is](https://hydurage.com/courses/ozone-therapy-in-aesthetics-wellness-course/lessons/2-1-what-ozone-is/) - 2.1 What Ozone IsOzone is a molecule made of three oxygen atoms (O3), generated by passing medical-grade oxygen (or, in lower-cost devices, ambient air) through an electrical corona-discharge field or a UV light source. This splits some O2 molecules into single oxygen atoms, which recombine with other O2 molecules to form O3. Ozone is unstable

This is sometimes called non-ablative rejuvenation. Targets include fine dermal vascularity (mild erythema reduction), dermal collagen, and diffuse photoageing.Primary device: Nd:YAG 1064 nm long pulse — deeper dermal penetration, water absorption lowAlexandrite
- [4.3 PIGMENTED LESION TREATMENT](https://hydurage.com/courses/alexandrite-and-longpulse-ndyag-laser-course/lessons/4-3-pigmented-lesion-treatment/) - MechanismLaser energy is absorbed by epidermal or dermal melanin. At long-pulse parameters, heat is generated causing controlled thermal destruction of melanocytes and pigment-containing keratinocytes. The lesion progressively lightens as the body clears the debris. Note: this module covers long-pulse pigment treatments only — Q-switched treatments for tattoo and deeper pigment require separate training.Conditions Treated (Long-Pulse,

This is called selective vascular photothermolysis.Conditions TreatedConditionPreferred DeviceNotesFacial telangiectasia (thread veins)Alexandrite 755 nm or Nd:YAG 1064 nm755 nm for fine vessels; 1064 nm for deeper/larger vesselsRosacea (diffuse redness + telangiectasia)Alexandrite 755 nm
- [4.1 LASER HAIR REMOVAL (LHR)](https://hydurage.com/courses/alexandrite-and-longpulse-ndyag-laser-course/lessons/4-1-laser-hair-removal-lhr/) - MechanismLaser energy is absorbed by melanin in the hair shaft and follicular matrix. Heat is conducted from the shaft to the follicular stem cells (bulge region) and the papilla, thermally destroying the hair-producing structures. Only hairs in the ANAGEN (active growth) phase are effectively destroyed — hence the need for multiple sessions.Device Selection by Skin

This is the highest hazard class:The beam can cause immediate, irreversible eye damage — even from reflected or scattered lightSkin burns are possible from direct or diffuse beam exposureSufficient power to ignite flammable materialsClass 4 devices require formal
- [1.6 Cooling — Why It Is Not Optional](https://hydurage.com/courses/alexandrite-and-longpulse-ndyag-laser-course/lessons/1-6-cooling-why-it-is-not-optional/) - Epidermal cooling protects the epidermis (especially melanin) from thermal damage while allowing the laser to treat the deeper target. Three methods are used:Contact cooling — chilled sapphire window in the handpiece (e.g. Candela GentleLASE, Cynosure Elite+)Cryogen spray cooling (DCD — Dynamic Cooling Device) — millisecond spray of tetrafluoroethane immediately before the laser pulseForced cold air
