PhotoDermü MultiLight™ intense pulsed light system

Basically, it's their PhotoDerm and EpiLight technologies combined. MultiLight uses a broad spectrum of intense pulsed light waves which
allows the light to heat the target vessel (vein, pigment or hair follicle), and to
selectively destroy the undesired pigment without damaging the surrounding
healthy skin tissue.

PhotoDermü VascuLight™ Plus

Integrates full spectrum of PhotoDerm intense pulsed light with addition of
intense pulsed laser at 1064nm.
Delivers proprietary Multiple Synchronized Pulsing™ which optimizes selective heating.

VascuLight Plus system with a hair removal option is now available.

AestiLight™

The Intense Pulsed Light AestiLight for hair removal is especially designed for aesthetic clinics.

EpiPulse™ Long-Pulsed Ruby Laser

I believe this a version of the EpiTouch ruby acquired in their merger with Sharplan

  • Marketed as a cost effective, entry-level hair removal system
  • Synchronized pulsing
  • Particularly suitable for facial areas and bikini lines
  • The Ruby long pulse employs a triple pulse technology with a 10 milliseconds interval between pulses, thus keeping the follicle temperature at a sufficient level tocause destruction while the epidermis temperature remains below damage threshold.
Device name FDA 510(k) Cleared
