Cynosure Elite MPX
Cynosure Elite MPX is a state-of-the-art laser system that uses four modes to provide safe, effective, and versatile treatment options for various skin concerns. The four modes of Cynosure Elite MPX are Alex, YAG, Multiplex, and IPL.
Alex Mode:
The Alexandrite (Alex) mode in laser hair removal systems emits a laser with a wavelength of 755 nm, which is highly absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle. This makes it an effective option for laser hair removal, as it can target the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin. The Alexandrite laser is particularly effective for treating patients with lighter skin tones and darker hair, as the high melanin absorption of the laser wavelength allows for precise targeting of the hair follicle. Additionally, the Alexandrite laser has a larger spot size than other laser types, which can make treatment times faster and more efficient.
YAG Mode:
YAG mode in laser systems typically uses a longer wavelength of 1064 nm, which is well absorbed by melanin in the hair follicle rather than by haemoglobin or other chromophores in the skin. This wavelength is particularly effective for treating patients with darker skin tones or finer hair, as it can penetrate deeper into the skin without causing damage to the surrounding tissue.
Multiplex Mode:
This mode combines the benefits of both Alex and YAG modes, delivering both wavelengths simultaneously. This allows for efficient and effective treatment of hair removal and vascular lesions simultaneously. Multiplex mode can also be used for skin rejuvenation and pigmentation correction.
IPL Mode:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) mode uses a broad spectrum of light wavelengths to target multiple chromophores in the skin, making it a versatile option for treating a wide range of skin concerns. IPL can be used to treat sun damage, pigmentation, acne, and hair removal.
Built-in Chiller
One of the standout features of the Cynosure Elite MPX is its built-in chiller, which helps to keep the skin cool during treatment. The chiller is an integral part of the Cynosure Elite MPX system, designed to minimize laser treatment’s discomfort and side effects. The chiller uses cooled air to cool the skin. The device is held over the skin, and the cold air is directed onto the treatment area. This can help to numb the skin and reduce any pain or discomfort associated with the laser pulses.
Lumenis One Laser
What is Lumenis One Laser?
Lumenis One is a state-of-the-art laser hair removal system that uses advanced technology to target hair follicles and prevent growth. It is a medical-grade laser that delivers precise and controlled energy to the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin. It is effective on all skin types and hair colours, making it a popular choice among men and women.
The Lumenis One Laser offers two modes of operation for hair removal – Diode and IPL.
What is Diode Mode?
Diode mode is a diode laser technology that targets the melanin in the hair follicle. The laser emits a beam of light absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, which then heats up and destroys the hair root. Diode mode is especially effective for coarse, thick hair and is faster than other laser hair removal methods. It is also less painful and requires fewer treatments than IPL mode.
What is IPL Mode?
IPL mode stands for Intense Pulsed Light and is a technology that uses a broad spectrum of light to target hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft, which then heats up and damages the hair root. IPL mode is more versatile than diode mode and can target a broader range of hair colours and skin types. It is also effective for treating other skin conditions, such as acne, rosacea, and pigmentation.
Which Mode is Best for Me?
The choice between Diode and IPL mode depends on several factors, such as your skin type, hair colour, and personal preferences. While both modes effectively reduce hair growth, Diode mode is better for those with darker skin tones and coarse hair, while IPL mode is better for lighter skin tones and finer hair. It is best to consult a licensed and experienced laser hair removal technician who can evaluate your skin and hair type and recommend the best mode.
Is Lumenis One Laser Safe?
Yes, Lumenis One Laser is a safe and FDA-approved technology for hair removal. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, such as redness, swelling, and scarring. Consulting a licensed and experienced post graduate dermatologist who can properly assess and treat your skin and hair type is essential.
Fotona ND: YAG Laser
Yag-Laser is a medical-grade laser technology widely used for hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and other aesthetic treatments. It uses a specific wavelength of light that targets the melanin pigment in the hair follicle. When the light is absorbed by the melanin, it converts into heat, which damages the hair follicle, preventing further hair growth.
What is Fotona ND: Yag Laser and how it works?
Fotona’s ND-YAG laser technology is known for its versatility in the aesthetic industry. It has been used for a variety of treatments, including skin rejuvenation, hair reduction, acne, vascular treatments, and more. The ND-YAG laser has a longer wavelength compared to other laser types, making it suitable for treating deeper skin layers and targeting specific chromophores such as hemoglobin and melanin. The light energy converts into heat, which damages the hair follicle and the root, thereby preventing further hair growth. Fotona ND: YAG Laser is designed to target only the hair follicles and not the surrounding skin, which makes it a safe and effective option. Fotona ND’s Yag Laser is a promising option among the many laser technologies available in the market.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is Fotona ND: YAG laser painful?
A: Fotona ND: YAG Laser is not painful, but some patients may experience a mild sensation of heat or discomfort during the treatment.
Q: How long does Fotona ND: Yag Laser treatment take?
A: The duration of the treatment depends on the area being treated. However, a typical session lasts for around 15-30 minutes.
Q: Is there any downtime after Fotona ND: Yag Laser treatment?
A: No, there is no downtime after the Fotona ND: Yag Laser treatment. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the session.
Olive Diode Lase
What is Olive Diode Laser?
Olive Diode Laser is a type of laser technology used for hair removal. This diode laser emits a concentrated beam of light at a specific wavelength which is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, causing damage to the follicle and prevents future hair growth. Olive Diode Laser is a high-powered laser that can target and remove hair from virtually any body part, including sensitive areas like the face and bikini line.
How does Olive Diode Laser work?
Olive Diode Laser emits a beam of light absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. The energy from the laser is then converted into heat, which damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. The Olive Diode Laser has a longer wavelength than other types of laser hair removal, which allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin and target hair follicles more effectively. This results in fewer treatments and more permanent effects.
The Olive Diode Laser emits a beam of a specific wavelength of light to target the pigment in hair follicles. When the laser is directed at the skin, the melanin in the hair absorbs the energy, which is then converted into heat. This heat damages the hair follicle and inhibits future hair growth.
When compared to other types of laser hair removal, the Olive Diode Laser has a longer wavelength, which means it can penetrate deeper into the skin and target hair follicles more effectively.
