Lasers have been used for removal of
pigmentation and superficial veins for years. One of the
less-desirable side-effects has been bruising. Resistant
pigmentation and concentrated vein or vascular conditions require
more "power" and this in turn has typically resulted in some type of
superficial bruise.
The Perfecta Laser by Candela uses a new technology called
Micropulse to allow more power
delivery with minimized bruising and in many cases no bruising at
all.The Perfecta is the premium level laser for treating vascular (vein) conditions.
Perfecta Laser Micropulse
technology
What is Micropulse and how is it different?
Micropulse technology spreads out a
single laser pulse into 8 evenly spaced micropulses.
As a result, more energy can be directed to the targeted vein or
pigmented spot. Since the
laser energy is applied over longer periods of time there is a
gentler heating effect and uniform coagulation. By heating targeted
vessels more gently, the new Perfecta Vbeam eliminates or minimizes
post-treatment purpura (bruising).
Standard laser pulses have more
impact when used aggressively for resistant pigmentation and more pronounced vein conditions and thus often cause more bruising.

The new compression handpiece
momentarily pushes vascular fluids out of the way, enabling
the laser to precisely target pigmentation without impacting
underlying blood vessels. Results? Precision results without
excessive bruising.

"The Perfecta
represents a significant leap forward in technology.
In my opinion, it is the treatment of choice for rejuvenation of
skin,
removal of linear vessels without bruising, and reduction of
pigmented
lesions which dramatically improves the overall appearance of
photo-damaged skin." Eric Bernstein, M.D.
"We now have one system that can treat both the vascular and pigment
changes associated with photo-damage and long-term sun exposure."
Arielle Kauvar, M.D.
Study Results
Rosacea Study: 25 patients with Rosacea
A greater than 80% improvement seen in all 25 patients treated.
Acne Scar Study: 200 patients with Acne Scar Redness
All patients benefited from a
30-50% reduction in the post-acne redness after the first treatment.
After three or four treatments, a reduction in redness of 75-90% was
achieved. In a number of patients, the post-acne redness disappeared
altogether. The results seemed to vary based on the depth of the
acne scarring.
Most patients suffered from light purpura (bruising)
after treatment, lasting approximately three to four days. This was
a light pink purpura rather than the eggplant purpura seen when
using older models of the pulsed dye laser. At the parameters used,
there was no pigmentary change. There was no pretreatment or
post-treatment care regimen.
