AESTHETIC LASER

CoolTouch Inc, Roseville, Calif, offers the CoolLipo Trio™, which allows physicians to perform laser-assisted lipolysis and skin tightening with CoolLipo™, endovenous ablation with CTEV™, and nonablative skin rejuvenation with CoolBreeze™ all in one system. CoolLipo Trio is based on CoolTouch’s signature 1320-nm wavelength, which has a proven track record for fat ablation, dermal collagen regeneration, and endovenous ablation of varicose veins. The wavelength targets water within the cellular structure and has a shallow depth of penetration, limiting the potential for collateral damage to outlying structures. CoolLipo may be used for laser-assisted lipolysis and skin-tightening procedures in the neck, jowls, chin, and saddlebags, or to tighten a loose belly. The CoolTouch CTEV allows physicians to treat patients’ varicose veins. CoolBreeze allows physicians to perform nonablative skin-rejuvenation procedures, such as skin tightening and acne treatments.

SCAR-REMOVAL LASER

Lutronic USA, Princeton Junction, NJ, introduces its Mosaic fractional laser system for treating scars, sun damage, and melasma. Mosaic employs Lutronic’s patented controlled chaos technology (CCT), which delivers multiple arrays of randomized microscopic laser beams to the skin. The laser’s “spray paint” approach eliminates the need for multiple linear passes and the clinical disadvantages of unavoidable overlap. Affecting only a small portion of the total skin surface at each session, the micronecrotic columns stimulate a natural healing process to initiate long-term collagen remodeling and elastin regeneration. Excess necrotic pigment and coagulated cellular debris are then re-epithelialized as the skin heals.
