A Guide To Aesthetic Lasers: Key Features And Accessories

15 Dec A Guide To Aesthetic Lasers: Key Features And Accessories

 

Medical Laser Technologies is a specialist in aesthetic lasers and medical laser systems, supplying South Africa with Fotona laser technology—considered within the industry as the most sophisticated option on the market.

 

Each of the eleven Fotona aesthetic laser systems we distribute boasts several key features that put them at the top of their class within their respective fields; pieces of highly advanced aesthetic, medical and dermatological technology that boost power, safety, precision and more.

 

Furthermore, these aesthetic lasers are almost all adapted to receive a wide array of high-tech accessories to further enhance power and performance or grant them exceptional versatility.

 

What Is An Aesthetic Laser?

 

Aesthetic lasers are devices that are used to target specific skin issues and can enact therapeutic effects. These laser systems emit focused, high-energy light beams of certain wavelengths to treat the skin.

 

What Are The Top Aesthetic Laser Companies?

 

While there are plenty of reputable aesthetic laser companies across the globe, Medical Laser Technologies (MLT) strives to be the leading supplier of medical and aesthetic laser solutions in South Africa.

 

Avalanche Lase

 

A top-of-the-line hair removal device, the Avalanche Lase performs its treatments swiftly, safely and at maximum efficiency. Furthermore, treatments can be performed with just a single accessory, cutting out the need to switch between different handpieces to utilize different wavelengths.

 

Key Features:

 

The Avalanche Lase exploits the recently discovered ‘avalanche effect’ phenomenon to boost its performance. Light is beamed into a hair follicle in super-short successive blasts to create an ‘avalanche’ of energy buildup, quickly destroying the hair with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.

 

Accessories:

 

LX-Runner Scanner: This scanner integrates the potent DMC™ Cooling technology and MatrixView temperature sensor, making it a perfect tool for treating larger areas.

 

R35X Handpiece: This handpiece transmits two laser wavelengths and has integrated DMC Cooling technology (eliminating the need for an additional air-cooling device) and a MatrixView temperature sensor.

 

 

QX MAX

 

The QX Max is currently one of the most advanced Q-Switched aesthetic lasers out there. Using powerful technology and a spectrum of wavelengths, this robust device excels in tattoo removal.

 

Key Features:

 

The key to the QX Max’s success is its use of high-energy single-pulse lasers. Single pulses aren’t affected by the optical shielding phenomenon arising from pigment destruction, allowing it to target deeper-lying pigments and get more work done per session.

 

Accessories:

 

Wireless Footswitch: Avoid unnecessary tangle of cables on the operating room floor with the wireless footswitch.

 

R28: This handpiece can be used with both Q-switched Nd:YAG and KTP Nd:YAG laser sources.

 

Zimmer Cryo 6, Cold Air Skin Cooling System: This cooling system minimizes pain and thermal injury during treatments, and provides brief topical anaesthesia for injections.

 

StarWalker MaXQ

 

An ultra-performance Q-switched laser technology on top of the tattoo removal pigmented game. Above all this device excels in removing tattoos with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.

 

Key Features:

 

Combining the revolutionary ASP (Adaptive Strand Pulse), super-short pico lasers and acoustic q-switched technology, the MaXQ uses powerful beams to create a photoacoustic effect— soundwaves that destroy tattoo pigments. Unlike regular lasers, these don’t result in thermal damage to tissue.

 

Accessories:

 

R28, R29, R58, FS20A, FS20B and FS50B Handpieces: These diverse handpieces allow the MaXQ to utilize a broad spectrum of laser wavelengths.
