Key features
Two wavelengths, one handpiece
A single handpiece offers a choice of two wavelength types, so the practitioner selects the appropriate wavelength for the patient's condition and treatment purpose without changing hardware.
Sapphire filter tip
A sapphire filter at the tip conditions the emitted spectrum and manages the thermal interface at the skin surface.
Single-button emission
A push of the button emits light — deliberately simple operation for high-throughput hair reduction work.
The underlying principle
Longer wavelengths penetrate deeper and are less strongly absorbed by epidermal melanin. Offering 560 nm and 640 nm from the same handpiece lets the operator bias toward efficacy in lighter skin or toward epidermal safety in darker skin.
