How it works
The science behind it is selective photothermolysis, described by Anderson and Parrish in 1983: choose a wavelength your target absorbs better than the surrounding tissue, deliver the energy faster than the target can shed heat, and the target is damaged while everything around it recovers. Broadband light from the flashlamp is shaped by interchangeable cut-off filters, each opening a spectral window tuned to a job. Higher cut-offs favor deep follicular melanin for hair work. Lower cut-offs pass more of the green-yellow band that hemoglobin and superficial pigment soak up, which is what you want for sun damage, freckles, and visible vessels.
Bipolar RF runs alongside the light. RF heating doesn't depend on melanin, so it warms the dermis and stimulates collagen remodeling on any skin tone, and it lets you dial the optical fluence down instead of pushing it to the edge. Multi-pulse control, adjustable pulse widths, and triple cooling through water, air, and a semiconductor-chilled contact tip keep the epidermis protected. Our device manuals pair every indication with a starting parameter chart by Fitzpatrick type, so your operators aren't guessing on day one.
