ProLipo™ Laser by Sciton: Information for Laser Lipo Physicians

High-powered, laser-assisted lipolysis body sculpting and contouring workstation

Use the ProLipo laser lipo workstation from Sciton for laser liposculpture of the chin, neck, upper arms, abdomen, flanks, buttocks and upper thighs.

Wavelength and Power

The ProLipo Nd:YAD laser is equipped with 1064-nm and 1319-nm Nd:YAG source filters. This combination of wavelengths is desirable for blending different types of lipolysis. For example, the 1064-nm wavelength acts on collagen fibers, improves skin tone, heats the skin more slowly, and concentrates on blood vessels and fat cells. The 1319-nm wavelength targets water in the dermal collagen and makes fat extraction easier by melting the fat, and it promotes skin tightening, while heating the skin more quickly. Together these wavelengths increase successful outcomes and patient throughput.

The ProLipo is rated for a maximum of 20 watts of power in the United States (with a maximum of 25 watts in other countries). The extremely short pulse duration (10 - 100 µsec) means greater tissue ablation and less collateral damage.

FDA Approval

The 1064-nm laser is FDA approved for laser lipolysis, incision, vaporization, ablation and coagulation of soft tissue. FDA approval is pending for the 1319nm unit.

Delivery Mechanism

The ProLipo uses a 600- to 1,000-µm core. The 18-GA cannula is available in 100-, 150- and 200-mm lengths. The 14-GA cannula is available in 250- and 320-mm lengths.

Configurable Options

The ProLipo workstation is a configurable platform. The following options are available in addition to the main unit: BBL™, for the treatment of pigmentation and microvasculature; BBL-HR, for hair removal; SkinTyte™, for the reduction of both wrinkles and laxity over lypolysed areas; and Pro-V™, for the transcutaneous treatment of veins.

The ProLipo workstation comes with clinical training. See the specifications tables below for technical information. All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
