Candela Picoway Picosecond

Description

CANDELA PICOWAY PICOSECOND LASER

There’s a new picosecond laser on the block.

PicoWay is a dual-wavelength device, with 532-nm and 1064-nm wavelengths. It utilizes proprietary PicoWay technology to generate picosecond pulses for the treatment of pigmented lesions and tattoos, including recalcitrant tattoos.

The staged launch begins in the international market during October 2014 and will continue in the United States in the first half of 2015.

The PicoWay technology is integrated into the Candela platform, which ensures superior performance and low cost of ownership.

PicoWay is CE marked and pending US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance. Syneron anticipates that it will receive FDA clearance for PicoWay by the end of 2014.

“With the shortest pulse on the market, PicoWay requires lower fluences and yields faster clinical results than traditional Q-switched lasers,” says Tina Alster, MD, a clinical professor of dermatology at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC, and one of the investigators in the multicenter clinical trials of the new device. “The Nd:YAG wavelength can safely treat a wider variety of skin types, and, along with the reduced fluence, minimizes thermal injury to the skin. I believe that the PicoWay will further revolutionize tattoo removal.”

PicoWay system:

1. Clinical evidence. Studies have shown that PicoWay lasers can deliver:

• Reduced acne scarring after just three treatments⁷
• High rates of improvement in wrinkle appearance^1,8
• A high rate of benign pigmented lesion clearance⁹
• Removal of multi-colored tattoos⁵

2. Comfort. The PicoWay Resolve system uses a well-tolerated approach to building new collagen and elastin in the treatment of acne scars and wrinkles.^7,19

3. Low to no downtime. In brief, 15- to 20-minute treatment sessions, PicoWay Resolve treatment transforms skin while leaving the epidermis intact.

4. Photoacoustic effect. The PicoWay system’s photoacoustic effect, rather than photothermal effect, minimizes risk of skin heating and damage to surrounding tissue.
