Lumenis Lightsheer Quattro Laser

The Lumenis LightSheer QUATTRO is a state-of-the-art diode laser system designed for comprehensive aesthetic treatments, including permanent hair reduction, wrinkle reduction, and the treatment of benign pigmented and vascular lesions. Its versatility and advanced technology make it suitable for all skin types and hair colors, ensuring effective and comfortable treatments for a diverse patient population.

Key Features and Technologies

Dual Wavelengths for Versatility

The LightSheer QUATTRO operates with two diode laser wavelengths: 805 nm and 1060 nm. This dual-wavelength capability allows practitioners to customize treatments based on individual patient needs, effectively targeting various hair types and skin tones, including darker and tanned skin .

Advanced Handpieces

The system includes multiple handpieces designed for specific treatment areas:

• High-Speed Handpiece (22 x 35 mm): Ideal for large areas like the back and legs, this handpiece utilizes vacuum-assisted technology to draw the skin closer to the energy source, enhancing efficacy and reducing discomfort. It operates without the need for gel, allowing for faster treatments .

• XC Handpiece (12 x 12 mm): Suitable for medium-sized areas requiring higher fluence levels, providing a balance between coverage and precision.

• ET Handpiece (9 x 9 mm): Designed for small, delicate areas needing maximum precision, such as the upper lip or bikini line.

ChillTip Integrated Contact Cooling

The XC and ET handpieces feature ChillTip technology, which provides continuous sapphire contact cooling. This mechanism protects the epidermis, enhances patient comfort, and allows for the use of higher fluence levels without compromising safety .

Clinical Benefits

• Permanent Hair Reduction: Clinical studies have demonstrated the LightSheer QUATTRO's effectiveness in achieving long-term hair reduction, with significant results observed at 6, 9, and 12 months post-treatment .

• Treatment of Pigmented and Vascular Lesions: The system effectively addresses benign pigmented lesions (e.g., age spots, freckles) and vascular lesions (e.g., telangiectasia, leg veins) by targeting melanin and hemoglobin, respectively, leading to improved skin appearance .

• Wrinkle Reduction: The thermal effect of the laser stimulates collagen remodeling, resulting in smoother, firmer skin and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles .
