What it is and how it works

LUCID Q-PTP is a 1064 and 532 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with a 7-joint articulated arm and a flat-top beam profile (top hat).1 It works in three modes: Q-switched (5 to 7 ns), PTP (about 20 ns) and Quasi-Long (300 µs at 1064 nm).1

In PTP mode, the device splits a higher energy into two closely spaced pulses. According to Bison, this increases the effect and reduces effects such as hypopigmentation. Quasi-Long mode combines toning and collagen stimulation.1

ElaCool complements your procedures: it cools the skin and uses electroporation to support product application, with greater comfort for the patient.3
