Power, Speed and Versatility

Power

With 240W of pulse power to tissue, the UltraPulse is 6 times more powerful than any other CO2 laser available. The first CO2 lasers delivered energy in continuous waves. These lasers could not produce very high peak powers for sustained periods, and therefore had limited pulse energy. As a result, charring often occurred when attempting to resurface tissue with practical spot sizes.


240 Watts of power allows the Ultrapulse to treat with safe and effective pulse durations that are less than 1 millisecond

Speed

Speed comes twofold with the UltraPulse.  First the UltraPulse has the highest pulse power and energy of any fractional CO2 system marked today.  This lends itself to minimal time on tissue, which results in lower collateral thermal damage reducing patient pain and complications.

In addition to the benefit of a short pulse, the scanner has a capability to produce 6oo treatment spots per second and can treat up to a 10mm x 10mm area.  

The high pulse power also allows the UltraPulse to go up to a 1.3mm treatment spot for the ActiveFX superficial fractional and conventional ablative procedures.

Versatility

The UltraPulse is the most versatile CO2 laser system available.  It is capable of offering the full range of fractional resurfacing: DeepFX offers a small, deep spot microablative treatment and ActiveFX offers a large, superficial spot treatment.  DeepFX and ActiveFX can be combined to form TotalFX, for total outcomes in the treatment of scars, fine lines, texture, dyschromia and deep wrinkles.

Complete control of depth per spot, density of scanned spots, spot shape, and pattern size make this system an extremely versatile machine. 

In all, the UltraPulse has 34 cleared FDA indications for Aesthetics.
