Measure
Soprano Duet 810 nm Diode Laser
Soprano Duet 810 nm diode laser Soprano/SHR: For the Soprano, the constant motion technique will be used with a fluence ranging between 6 J/cm2 and 10 J/cm2, 10 Hz, 20 ms pulse duration. The constant motion technique involves treating 100 cm2 areas with multiple passes until reaching the cumulative energy dose of 8 kJ. Thus, the hand piece is kept in constant motion to deliver continuous low fluence that will build up energy over time.
LightSheer Duet 810 nm Diode Laser
Soprano and LightSheer Duet 810 nm diode laser LightSheer: The LightSheer/Duet will be used with conventional single pass (stamping) of the handpiece using settings of single pulse fluence of up to 14 J/cm2 and low vacuum settings.
