The smart broadband light, ranging from 400nm to 1400nm, is able to treat a wide range of indications in a way that far exceeds common IPL devices. The treatment works through the principle of producing photons in skin where the light beams are absorbed. The photons formed from these wavelengths, adjusted based on the desired depth of the light beams, target the endogenous and exogenoux chromophores in the skin and then release thermal energy. The light beams target hemoglobin, melanin and water as chromophores.

Acne is a chronic form of dermatosis involving repetitive redness, papulopostular lesions and telangiectasia that can be clearly seen on the nose, chin, and midface area. Acne reduces quality of life due to complaints of burning, stinging, and itching. In addition to systematic antibioterapia and topical treatments, effective results can be obtained with laser treatment. However, acne rosacea can be exacerbated by various conditions. Changes in dietary habits or psychogenic factors can result in the condition becoming more aggressive. During such attacks, SUPER VELOCE IPDL treatment can be applied to reduce the duration of the redness, burning and papulopustular eruptions and the frequency of the attacks.

Case Study

In this study, three sessions of treatment were given at three week intervals for patients with Fitzpatrick II, III and IV skin types. The clinical picture of these patients had not demonstrated any change in response to prior antibioterapia and topical treatments. Patients were rescheduled three weeks after each session, and evaluations of clinical improvement were conducted. All patients in this study were instructed to apply sunscreen at regular intervals.

For the patient in the first picture, the filters applied through all three sessions were a 590nm filter with 20ms pulse and 11J/cm2 twice, a 560 nm filter with 10ms pulse and 9J/cm2 twice, and a 420nm filter with 100ms pulse and 5J/cm2, also twice.

Results

After three sessions of SUPER VELOCE treatment, all patients showed significant improvement. After the second treatment, all patients demonstrated moderate improvement in their lesions, but the results were far more pronounced after the third session. The majority of patients experienced less discomfort from burning, stinging and itching, and there was also a significant reduction in papulopostular lesions and erythema. In addition to these benefits, considerable reductions in lentiginous lesions and hyperpigmentation were seen. In general, the level of patient satisfaction was high.
