The Cynosure Affirm CO2 is a 3-in-1 dynamic workstation that addresses deep wrinkles, significant photoaging, severe scar damage and other difficult-to-treat skin conditions. It bundles Cynosure’s Combined Apex Pulse (CAP) technology, Xenon Pulsed Light (XPL) technology and MultiPlex technology to give you a powerful and versatile system capable of tackling a variety of applications. With power up to 30 watts and an adjustable pulse duration between 0.2 and 2 milliseconds, this system can emit two wavelengths in a single pulse, which helps make treatments faster and more comfortable for patients.
With its large spot size options, you can deliver treatments that are up to 400% faster than comparable methods, which can lead to increased overall revenue. Affirm CO2 integrates a carbon dioxide laser with micro-ablative scanning technology and is considered the most effective treatment option for deep wrinkles. Another important benefit is the range of scanning options, which enable users not only to shorten treatment time, but to provide uniform coverage across the entire treatment area. The result is a system that helps patients look years younger with minimal downtime, and ensures substantial flexibility in treatment options.
System Features
A Comprehensive Solution
By uniquely combining three leading-edge technologies, the Cynosure Affirm CO2 offers a total skin rejuvenation system that targets all layers of photodamaged and aged skin. Using 1440-nm CAP technology, it targets superficial layers of photodamaged tissue. Its state-of-the-art XPL technology enhances clinical outcomes associated with the treatment of redness and pigmentation, and Affirm CO2’s newest feature, the 1320-nm MultiPlex technology, targets deep layers of collagen structures for skin laxity and tightening.
Superior Technology
Unlike competitive technologies, which by providing only one level of heat intensity fail to optimize collagen production, CAP technology is a specialized optical lens array that redistributes laser energy into varied levels of heat intensities to simultaneously stimulate and remodel collagen. Since lower energy levels can be delivered to the skin without compromising effectiveness, client discomfort is significantly decreased while the healing process is rapidly accelerated.
Efficacious Results
MultiPlex technology enables the sequential emission of two wavelengths in one pulse from the same delivery system. Since lower individual energy levels can now be used during treatments, discomfort is minimized and recovery is accelerated—for faster, more effective results compared to single-wavelength technologies.
400% Faster Treatments
By delivering approximately 1,000 diffractive micropulses in a 10-mm spot, CAP technology provides greater pattern density and requires fewer passes over a given area than competitive offerings resulting in significantly faster treatment sessions. The absence of pretreatment topical dyes also results in faster sessions. This translates into less pain for your clients and greater client throughput and revenue opportunities for you.
Less Costly Consumables
The laser energy employed by CAP technology is delivered via a highly durable tip that can treat an average of ten clients. This provides longer instrument life for reduced equipment expenses.
Ease-of-use
With its lightweight, integrated design, the Affirm CO2 laser can be operated by a single person. In addition, its easy-to-use handpiece allows you to safely perform laser treatment in small areas such as periocular regions.
