For the treatment of superficial vascular lesions
The Exotherme™ laser can be used alone or in addition to sclerotherapy and micro-sclerosis technique.
The Exotherme™ laser is intented for:
- The treatment of superficial vascular lesions (varicose veins, telangiectasia) of red, blue or purple color.
- With a diameter between 0.2 and 2 mm
Its principle of action is based on the production of a thermal action, thanks to the conversion of light energy into heat.
The 980 nm wavelength emitted by the laser is strongly absorbed by hemoglobin (its chromophore) and then converted into heat. The heat is then diffused to the walls of the vessel.
By raising the temperature, the vein collapses causing destruction of the vessel wall. This effect makes the closure and the destruction of the vessel possible.
The Exotherme™ laser has a unique handpiece, the Control 4+, combining the following technologies:
- The Multipulse technology
- The integrated camera and its x10 optical zoom
- The self-regulated cooling system at 5 °C
- The trans-illumination
a) The Multipulse technology
The Multipulse technology is based on breaking down the laser shot into 3 pulses:
- The first pulse: increases the optical absorption of the laser target: the hemoglobin
- The second an the third pulse: maintain the temperature between 60 and 75 °C in the vessel for a duration corresponding to the thermal relaxation time (TRT)
Respecting the TRT of the vessel avoids a rupture of the vein wall and eliminates any risk of purpura.
b) The integrated camera
The camera with its x10 optical zoom allows a very precise treatment.
The real-time visualization of the treatment confirms the effectiveness of each shot.
c) The self-regulated cooling system at 5 °C
The integrated cooling system in the Hand piece offers the patient optimized comfort through a painless treatment.
d) Trans-illumination system
The trans-illumination principle at 530 nm improves the visualization of the deeper vessels: the closer the blood vesse lis to the sport, the darker it appears on the screen.
The procedure is simple, efficient, quick and safe.
- The treatment is non-invasive and is performed in a medical office
- Dosimetry is adjusted according to each treatment, depending on the type of vessel (protocol provided)
The number of sessions varies between each patient: between 2 and 3 sessions.
The results appear gradually and are permanent 4 to 6 weeks after the treatment.
