Commercial IPL Devices From Lumenis
Lumenis (originally ESC medical system) is the leading manufacturer of IPL equipments. Its PhotoDerm™ can operate in VL (for vascular lesion), PL (for age spots), HR (hair removal) mode. PhotoDerm and EpiLight are early systems that are versatile, while the later IPL sysems VascuLight and Quantum have reduced versatility. The newest Quantum System include 4 models, (two are nonablative intense pulsed laser systems, not the typical IPL system with broad spectrum), Quantum SR and Quatum HR are IPL device. Lumneis claims that Lumenis One is “a true fourth generation intense pulsed light system with patented state of the art technology which optimizes power, pulsing and light delivery to provide maximum results, comfort and safety. While lower powered technology may perform Skin rejuvenation anti-aging treatments using Photorejuvenation one from Lumenis One universal IPL module, there is a visible difference in results. Lumenis One treatments are fast. With the large spot size and 1Hz repetition rate, a full face treatment can be completed in 15 minutes”.
