9. Key Parameters for Successful LHR
2. Spot Size
⢠Treat target and reduce risk to deeper structures by selecting
appropriate spot size (particularly for 1064 nm)
⢠Smaller spot size = less penetration, more scatter
â Targets more superficial structures (superficial, fine hair follicles)
⢠Larger spot size = deeper penetration, less scatter
â Targets deeper structures (hair)
10. Key Parameters for Successful LHR
3. Pulse Duration (PD)
⢠Measured in milliseconds (ms), based on target size and skin type
⢠Pulse duration controls efficacy
â Speed of heat escape is proportional to target size
â Shorter pulses are effective because energy is delivered faster than it can
escape
â Longer pulses protect the epidermis because heat can escape preventing heat
rise (Nd:YAG)
⢠Pulse must be shorter than the thermal relaxation time of the hair
â Coarse hair = 25-45 ms
â Fine hair = 3-10 ms
11. Key Parameters for Successful LHR
4. Fluence
⢠Measured in Joules/cm2 (J/cm2), amount of energy applied in a given area
⢠Total energy delivered is determined by both fluence and spot size
⢠Adjustments should be made based on clinical endpoints and epidermal
response

5. Cooling
⢠Laser targets melanin in target hair follicles â cooling protects the
epidermis
⢠Cooling reduces the temperature rise in the epidermis and protects it
from damage, permitting higher fluences to be delivered
⢠Cooling acts as a local anesthetic for improved comfort
⢠Types of cooling
â Contact Cooling
â Cryogen (refrigerant) Cooling
â Refrigerated Air Cooling
⢠Contact cooling is superior as Cryogen cooling does not provide the
same level of variable protection and safety

22. Sapphire Contact Cooling
The Importance of Cooling
⢠Melanin is the target in hair follicles, but is
also a target in the epidermis
â Cooling reduces the temperature rise in the epidermis and protects it
from damage, permitting higher fluences to be delivered to the hair
follicles
⢠Cooling acts as a local anesthetic for improved
comfort
⢠Cryogen (refrigerant) cooling does not provide
this level of variable protection and safety
23. Sapphire Contact Cooling
The Physicians Choice for Comfort & Safety
⢠âSapphire contact cooling is superior for laser hair removal â
index matching and compression enable target structures to be
heated more efficiently while pre-, parallel-, and post-cooling spares
the epidermis.â

Evaluation of Cooling Methods for Laser Dermatology
H.H. Zenzie, MS, G.B. Altshuler, PhD,
M.Z. Smirnov, PhD, and R.R. Anderson, MD
⢠With a sapphire window temperature variable from 4oC to 20oC, physician
have controllable cooling to maximize safety, comfort and results
24. Sapphire Contact Cooling
Improved Efficacy with Refractive Index Matching
⢠When the refractive index is âmatchedâ, there is little or no bending (refraction)
when the light enters the transmission medium
⢠Refractive index values of sapphire and epidermal tissue are optimally
matched â as a result, the coupling of laser energy into tissue is more
efficient than through air
Sapphire refractive index is optimally
matched to skin and results in more
efficient coupling of laser energy to
follicular target structures
Refractive index mismatch
between air and skin results in
less efficient coupling of laser
energy to target structures
excel HR Other Technology
25. Sapphire Contact Cooling
Index Matching & Optical Damping with Sapphire Lens
⢠Minimizing the light bending (refraction) ensures that more of the
light reaches the target tissue
⢠Matching the light path with the refractive index allows the light to
back scatter and escape without causing heat build up at the skinâs
surface â this is referred to as optical damping
⢠Sapphire contact cooling creates near ideal conditions for optical
damping â a thin liquid layer can be used to provide optical coupling
and enhance the optical damping effect
Index matching between
sapphire and skin allows
back scattered light to
escape, further protecting the
epidermis from heat build-up
Refractive index mismatch
causes internally reflected
laser light to accumulate
under the skin and contribute
to epidermal heating

WINDOW
27. excel HR
Enhanced Efficacy With Compression
⢠Skin compression collapses blood vessels, stretches the
skin and often decreases its thickness â thus shortening the
distance to follicular target structures for more efficient
heating
28. Sapphire Contact Cooling
Patient Safety Benefits
⢠Contact cooling guarantees that laser treated areas are cooled and
protected
â Effective as long as the sapphire is in contact with the skin.
⢠Cryogen-spray cooling can result in burns if laser and cryogen are
misaligned
â Only cools until the cryogen evaporates
â Incorrect positioning can result in burns, hyperpigmentation
âNow itâs over 2 months after and I
have scars everywhere where I was
treated!â

â No contribution to global warming like cryogen spray
⢠Tetrafluoroethane (R-134a) has a high global warming potential
⢠Candela DCD inventors @ Beckman Institute urging alternative1,2
⢠Operating Environment
â Doesnât expose operator and patient to harmful CFCs3 like cryogen spray
⢠Operating Efficiency
â Doesnât require 15 minute âwarming timeâ like cryogen
â No pre-treatment alignment of âspray patternâ required
⢠System operating costs
â No impact to operating costs â disposable cryogen canisters impact operating
costs significantly ($5-45K/year)

â Hair removal of unwanted hair
at the same time.
⢠I needed to have Laser
⢠The âAll About Hair Clinicâ idea developed
68. My Laser Journey
2003 - Decided to buy laser
â I spent a whole year researching on which laser to buy
â I did not want to do just laser hair removal.
2004 â Bought Cutera ND Yag :
â Was able to do vascular treatment, laser hair removal
and skin rejuvenation.
â Improved myself in vascular treatments
â Started making money out of it
â Laser hair removal was running seamlessly without

Cynosure Alexandrite
2011 â The demand for laser hair removal was
increasing;
â To be better placed in the market, I needed a laser
specifically for hair removal
â I bought Cynosure Alexandrite laser.
â The patients were more pleased with it than I
expected
â I had made the right decision.
84. More applications of ND Yag laser
Meanwhile, I was continuously expanding my
applications of NdYAG laser
90. My Laser Journey
Cutera Excel HR
2014 - Cutera Excel HR was introduced
â I did not need another laser.
â However, due its good technical parameters and
low consumable costs, I saw its advantage and
bought it.
91. How could I use both Cynosure and Excel HR?
Could Cynosure patients adopt to Excel HR?
⢠Could we convince Cynosure patients to
continue their sessions with Excel HR?
â To take advantage of the low consumable cost
⢠I requested them to try Excel HR
⢠If they were not pleased with the results and
comfort, they would go back to Cynosure.
⢠Patients were more pleased with Excel HR.
⢠Once again, I had made a good choice.
93. My great experiences with excel HR
Alexandrite
⢠With the continuous (pre, parallel, post)
cooling ;
â There is less pain, less risk of side effects hence
safer and certainly effective laser hair removal.
⢠No breaks needed during treatment because
of less pain
â Treatment takes a shorter time.
94. My great experiences with excel HR
Alexandrite
With quick start time, real time calibration and quick
switching time, there is no wasting of time.
95. My great experiences with excel HR

Letâs take a look at what devices are used to understand where 755 fits in. Laser hair removal has been around for decades and has undergone several evolutions in wavelengths. Today, the four most popular approaches to remove unwanted hair are:
Discuss methods â for IPL and 810 diode â Say that they work, have their place, but not for industrial hair removal for all skin types. Make the comment that 810 diodes are only for hair removal and offer no other revenue streams. (And if it comes up, although we position ours for high volume, industrial hair removal, the fact isâŚit offers additional revenue streams and it can be used on all skin types)
I think we all know that 1064 is a great wavelength for all skin types, but many practitioners world wide prefer 755 alexandrite. The reason is that it is less painful than 1064 and it works. The ideal combination is 755 with 1064 â they can use 755 most of the time and combine 1064 when needed. 755âs popularity is so great that often practitionerâs will not even consider a device without it. And that has been a big problem for us â we offer great solutions for hair removal, but we havenât offered Alex, so many doors were shut to us. We wouldnât even get invited to the party. (thoughts to consider here- establishing a relationship early on is important, being the first device a new practice purchases is important â the next laser they buy will be from you.) We could lose the potential to have a life long customer!

Itâs hair removal!
The Millennium Research group predicts that by 2017 the number of hair removal procedures will double from 1.2M in 2012 to 2.5M! The demand for hair removal means the demand for safe, effective, reliable and comfortable laser hair removal devices will also grow.
This market is not going away. Just look at what our competitors keep launching â hair removal products! Palomar, the vectus. Lumenisâs most popular product is the LightSheer. Syneron/Candela continue to invest in marketing and R&D for their Candela G series.
