MANUFACTURER NOTES:
Picosecond Effect
The DISCOVERY PICO Series generates a pure photoacoustic effect to shatter inks and pigmentations leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed. This picosecond laser, thanks to its shorter pulse durations and high peak power can effectively pulverize even the deepest skin pigment.
The ideal ally in skin treatments
The Picosecond pulses represent the real trump card for every patient’s needs.
This device conjugates high fragmentation power for very effective treatment of tattoos and pigmentations, to fractional picosecond power for unparalleled results in acne scars and wrinkles treatments.
Multi-level picosecond effect
Discovery PICO’s Fractional treatments take advantage of two different laser actions with the creation of LIOBs for collagen remodelling and the ablation of damaged skin through picosecond “cold” ablation.
The synergy between these two effects is the key of the success in full treatment of wrinkles and acne scars.
Optibeam II
The Optibeam II handpieces can generate different flat-top spot shapes at various sizes.
These handpieces are particularly indicated for:
Square flat-top: tattoo removal
Round flat-top: benign pigmented lesions
Fractional handpiece: acne scars and wrinkles.
Twain Handpieces
Twain options are IPL or Er:YAG handpieces that can be attached to the TWAIN connector of the device.
Twain IPL* is indicated for: Permanent hair reduction | Dermatological vascular lesions | Benign pigmented lesions | Inflammatory acne
* Different ranges of wavelengths are intended for specific indications
Twain 2940 is indicated for: Skin resurfacing |Treatment of wrinkles| Epidermal Nevi | Actinis chelitis | Keloids | Verrucae | Skin tags | Keratoses | Scar revision (including acne scars) | with microbeam handpiece it is indicated for skin resurfacing
Applications
Some applications could have limitations related to specific skin types
Multicolor Tattoo Removal
Benign Pigmented Lesions
Wrinkles & Acne Scars
Flat top round and square hand pieces also make it possible to treat all pigment areas – from tattoos to spot lesions – evenly and precisely. The flat top round hand pieces have been designed according to the shape of pigment lesions to make the healing process more natural.
