In order to minimize the discomfort and unwanted side effects such as purpura, or other damage to surrounding tissue caused by Pulsed Dye Lasers (PDL), ADVATx employs Quasi CW pulsing, delivering individual pulses of energy at a repetition rate of 12 kHz.
As the durations of the individual pulses, as well as the pulse-to-pulse spacings are significantly shorter than the thermal relaxation time of the vessels, the skin perceives the multiple pulses of energy as a single pulse. For example, this means that a 20 ms pulse of energy can be directed at the target, i.e. Veins, without the trauma to the surrounding tissue caused by the significantly larger energy spikes of a PDL.
Simply stated, because of our advanced delivery system, ADVATx allows for all the well-known therapeutic benefits of yellow light, without the undesirable side effects associated with PDL.
It is important to state that the 1319 nm is delivered as continuous wave, allowing for controlled, gradual bulk heating of tissue for optimal fibroblastic proliferation and reduction of sebum production form sebaceous glands.
