Primelase® Excellence is a powerful high-power diode multiplatform that stands out for its high efficiency and safety. It has power superior to 4,800 W thanks to ultra-high power laser diode technology and it offers a unique combination of wavelengths of high efficiency and safety for dark skin and fine hair. In this interview, Dr. Reyna Vargas, Aesthetic doctor, Clinical Affairs Responsible Sinclair EBD, explains the benefits of Primelase® Excellence and what sets it apart.
What are the advantages of choosing a diode vs an Alexandrite?
Dr. Reyna Vargas: The diode laser is currently one of the most used technologies in the aesthetic medical sector. One of the main differences or benefits of the diode is that it is safer for dark phototypes (IV and V) since the diode allows working with wavelengths that go deeper into the tissue without heating the superficial layers of the skin.
This also makes the treatment much more comfortable for the patient and allows to eliminate residual hair that is usually the most complicated in the last treatment sessions.
The durability of diodes is much higher than an Alexandrite. For example, with Primelase® Excellence you can make more than 20 million shots without any maintenance of the equipment for several years, while with an Alexandrite you have to replace the lamps with less than one million shots, and this usually happens after a few months of use.
How does Primelase® differentiate from other diodes?
Dr. Reyna Vargas: Primelase® is one of the most powerful diode laser equipment on the market has 4,800W of power thanks to the fact that it uses an ultra-high power laser diode technology, which allows working with very short pulse durations (from 3 ms) this is a very important parameter for good permanent hair removal results.
The only way to heat the residual and poorly pigmented hair that remains after several sessions is by using very short laser pulses. Other diodes do not have this advantage of Primelase® Excellence and are not able to remove residual hair, and therefore cannot offer good permanent hair removal results.
In addition, Primelase® allows you to work with different wavelengths to offer treatments on all skin phototypes and hair types. Its variety of spot sizes allow working in all areas both facial and body, with competitive treatment times.
Primelase® is backed by the most important certifications such as CE and FDA which guarantees that it is a quality product and offers safety and efficacy for patients.
What are the advantages in terms of effectiveness?
Dr. Reyna Vargas: For maximum efficacy during treatment, the pulse duration should be as short as possible, less than the thermal hair relaxation time (TRT) which is the time it takes for the hair to cool and which for residual hair is less than 10 ms. Primelase has pulses from 3 ms that will allow you to heat the hair with high efficiency and thus obtain excellent hair removal results.
How does Primelase® help the profitability of a treatment that has been reducing prices?
Dr. Reyna Vargas: Primelase® is a very profitable team for different reasons. First, it has large spots that allow you to treat large areas with great speed. It also has high firing frequency working modes that can be used for all fluency (other equipment decreases the frequency by increasing the fluency). For example, a complete body hair removal with Primelase® is done in 45 minutes.
The high durability of the Primelase’s laser diode technology allows intensive use, for example 10-12 hours for 6 days a week without any running costs.
What else can we do with this equipment?
Dr. Reyna Vargas: Primelase® Excellence is a device for hair removal however thanks to the different wavelengths and spot sizes it is possible to offer treatments and good results in indications such as acne, rejuvenation, pigmentary and vascular lesions.
