Tunable Laser with Range
A significant improvement over Sciton’s existing Contour dual-pulse mode laser, the new Tunable Resurfacing Laser (TRL) lets practitioners dial in the depth of resurfacing based on the patient’s tolerance and expectations. “The ablative and coagulation zones can be independently adjusted over a large range with each pulse, making the Contour TRL equivalent to anything from an erbium:YAG laser to an erbium:YSGG laser to a CO2 laser and anything in between,” says Dale Koop, PhD, general manager at Sciton.
“This is a significant new development for laser resurfacing that will enable me to achieve the results I want for each of my patients,” says Dr. Jason Pozner, a plastic surgeon in Boca Raton, Florida. “I believe this will greatly expand the capabilities of physicians offering skin rejuvenation.”
