Since its introduction in the 1960’s, CO2 lasers have been relied upon by medical professionals as one of the highest powered and most efficient lasers available and the technology has only improved since. Patients were seeing amazing skin resurfacing results in just one treatment, but such outcomes came with significant downtime, discomfort and an increased risk of side effects.
In the years that followed, skin resurfacing laser options expanded to include non-ablative resurfacing, non-ablative fractional resurfacing and ablative fractional resurfacing. In 2007, DEKA introduced the SmartXide DOT – a CO2 laser technology that combined BOTH Traditional CO2 resurfacing with Fractional Non-Ablative Resurfacing. For the first time aesthetic practitioners had the best of both worlds, with the ability to tailor treatments to the patient.
NEW CO2 on the Block
The SmartXide Punto CO2 is the next generation of CO2 lasers by DEKA – the most renowned manufacturer of CO2 technology. Introduced in 2019 and launched in the UK exclusively by Lynton, Punto represents a number of advancements over its predecessor, the SmartXide DOT including:
-
More scanning patterns and control of pitch, density, ablation spot size and depth of treatment
-
Innovative spray mode to eliminate demarcation lines and increase speed of treatment
-
Exclusive Pulse Shape Design (PSD) technology making it possible to vary pulse shapes to offer patients MORE treatment options
The uncompromised versatility of the SmartXide Punto CO2 has aesthetic laser experts excited about the possibilities and results that can be achieved with this gold-standard device.
“What you have in this device is the culmination of all the great CO2 devices through the years. Including ultra-pulse type settings, fractional CO2 settings and now this incredibly new setting called CoolPeel which will allow us to do virtually no-downtime treatments combined with other devices that will revolutionise the industry”
