The SmartXide Punto is a CO2 laser system from DEKA that is designed for skin rejuvenation and other dermatological applications. Here's a breakdown of its workings, features, benefits, process, and session duration, based on the provided sources:
- The SmartXide Punto utilizes a unique CO2 laser source with PSD (Pulse Shape Design) technology. This technology allows for the selection of various impulse modalities (S-Pulse, D-Pulse, H-Pulse, U-Pulse, CW) to manage the vaporization depth and thermal effect.
- The laser can target the superficial layer of the skin tissue, offering downtime control.
- It uses a 10600 nm wavelength CO2 laser.
- The system uses scanning systems like HiScan DOT and Hi Scar 3. HiScan DOT allows for precise adjustments of scan shape, size and ratio. Hi Scar 3 is designed for deep scar remodeling.
- Scattered Modality evenly scans the treatment area and fades at the edges to prevent overlapping and ensure evenness between the scanning area and skin texture.
- SmartTrack is an algorithm that optimizes scanning patterns to minimize local temperature increase.
- PSD Technology: Allows for varied impulse modalities to control depth and thermal effect.
- HiScan DOT: Scanning system for precise control over operating parameters.
- Hi Scar 3: Scanning system for deep scar remodeling, minimizing hyper and hypopigmentation.
- CoolPeel Feature: Enables a gentler approach to traditional CO2 resurfacing.
- SmartTrack Algorithm: Optimizes scanning patterns.
- Scattered Modality: Ensures even treatment.
- Versatile: The system has the ability to treat a wide range of skin conditions and treatment areas.
- H-pulse: A high-peak power, short pulse to guarantee faster, more natural results.
- Effective Skin Rejuvenation: Achieves high levels of effectiveness in dermatological applications.
- Downtime Control: Allows users to control downtime by targeting specific layers of skin tissue.
- Minimized Risk of Pigmentation Issues: The Hi Scar 3 system reduces the risk of post-treatment hyper and hypopigmentation.
- Faster Results: The unique H-pulse provides faster results.
- Versatile Treatment Options: Suitable for a variety of skin conditions and treatment areas.
- Customizable: Precise parameter selection for different patient conditions.
- CoolPeel: Provides the benefits of CO2 resurfacing with a more comfortable approach.
The sources do not provide explicit steps, but the process would likely involve:
1. Consultation and Assessment: Evaluating the patient’s skin condition and treatment goals.
2. Parameter Selection: Using the SmartXide Punto system to choose the appropriate settings (impulse modality, scanning system, area, depth, etc) for the specific treatment.
3. Treatment Application: Applying the laser to the targeted area, using either the HiScan DOT or Hi Scar 3 scanning systems as needed.
4. Post-Treatment Care: The source does not describe post-treatment care, but likely includes instructions on what to do and what not to do, and follow up care.
The sources do not specify the exact duration of a treatment session. However, given the variety of options and the customizable nature of the device, session times will likely vary depending on:
- The size of the area being treated.
- The specific type of treatment being performed.
- The desired results and parameters.
- The skin type and condition of the individual.
