Lutronic Corporation has launched the new Lutronic XT Q Switched,
frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser, known as the Spectra XT. The latest
edition of the Spectra laser, the Spectra XT or Extended Platform is
expected to be CE marked and ready for sale in Europe in June 2014.
The system includes several treatment applications including one for
tattoo removal, pigmented lesions, melasma, pore-size reduction and skin
rejuvenation. The new XT model features a RuvyTouch 660nm handpiece for
pigmented lesions, and a Gold Touch 595nm handpiece for vascular
indications such as facial and post-acne redness. Dr UC Yeo from Koreo
said, The skin reaction after 660nm is much milder than after 532nm,
with lesser chance to make petechiae by mistake. It is especially useful
for light-coloured freckles or other epidermal pigmented lesions. This
will be an useful treatment option.
