Medical aesthetic device manufacturer Lumenis yesterday unveiled its latest laser device for the skin, the AcuPulse Fractional CO2 Laser System. The news was announced at the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery's annual meeting in Phoenix this week. The AcuPulse combines the effectiveness of an ablative laser with the reduced downtime of a fractional system. In addition, the AcuPulse includes Lumenis's SuperPulse and Continuous Wave technologies.
Lumenis states that the AcuPulse creates less less thermal damage per treatment spot than other continuous wave lasers. The scanning technology for the deep fractional application is a direct regeneration of Lumenis' UltraPulse DeepFXscanner, and provides the same spot size and variability in the size, shape, and density of the patterns. The AcuPulse also includes a state-of-the-art touchscreen user interface and safety control systems.
"The AcuPulse now gives physicians an affordable and efficient solution to their Pulsed Fractional Skin Resurfacing needs," said Mr. Robert Mann, General Manager of Lumenis Global Aesthetics and Dermatology. "It has been well established that pulsed CO2 lasers are superior in the treatment of wrinkles, skin dyschromias, certain types of scars, and the Lumenis' AcuPulse brings its SuperPulse technology with the unmatched fractional scanning excellence of the Lumenis portfolio to give physicians an excellent solution for their practice," added Mr. Mann.
"With ablative fractional laser treatments patients are offered significant wrinkle resolution with minimal downtime lasting only 4-7 days," said Dr. E. Victor Ross, Director of the Laser and Cosmetic Dermatology Center of Scripps Health in San Diego, California.
