Laser and Energy Technologies
Alexandrite Laser
Solid-state/Alexandrite laser wavelength for hair removal and pigmented lesions, optimal for light skin types.
Nd:YAG Laser
Laser wavelength for darker skin types, vascular lesions and onychomycosis.
Pulsed Dye Laser (Vbeam)
Pulsed dye laser for vascular and dermatological indications, including pediatric applications (Vbeam Pro).
Cryogen Cooling System (Dynamic Cooling Device)
Cryogen spray before and after each laser pulse protects the epidermis and increases treatment comfort.
elōs Technology (Light + Radiofrequency)
Combination of optical energy and bipolar radiofrequency with reduced optical fluence for all skin types.
Selective Waveband Technology (IPL, Nordlys)
IPL technology for pigmentation, vascularity, skin rejuvenation and acne treatment.
Radiofrequency Microneedling (Sublative/Sublime/Matrix Pro)
Fractionated bipolar RF energy via electrode pin needles for collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation.
