TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE, OUR MASTERPIECES

Quanta System was born in 1985 as a spin-off of CISE, one of the biggest research centres in laser and optics in the world. Our first steps were in high-energy and plasma physics, spectroscopy and light-matter interaction. The first

lasers for Art Conservation were developed in 1994.

Since 1997, Quanta has been a leading developer and manufacturer of a broad array of light-based aesthetic and medical platforms, providing unique sales and service solutions, allowing physicians to select the right

energy-based devices for their individual needs. This saves time and money, and ultimately results in better equipment decisions.

Our products are used worldwide for several applications such as Permanent Hair Reduction, Wrinkles Reduction, Active Acne and Acne Scar Reduction, Surgical Scars, Laser Assisted Liposuction, Benign

Vascular and Pigmented Lesions Removal, Multicolour Tattoo Removal, Fractionated Resurfacing, Surgical Dermatology and Nail Fungus.

Research and passion are the important qualities that have made Quanta the ideal partner for cutting-edge institutes involved in important national and international

projects worldwide.

Throughout these years of innovation, Quanta has earned a worldwide reputation for excellence in three main segments: Surgery, Aesthetics and Art.

THE NEXT GENERATION IN PICOSECOND TECHNOLOGY

DISCOVERY PICOTHE NEW ERA OF TATTOO AND PIGMENTED LESION TREATMENTS

DISCOVERY PICO represents the second generation of picosecond lasers that due to its proprietary technology, is the most innovative medical laser available in the market today.

It has an Nd:YAG double-wavelength laser source emitting at both 1064 nm and 532 nm, provided by the exclusive Quanta Pico-Boost Technology (patent pending). This feature makes possible to work in a Picosecond mode delivering up to 800 mJ of energy and up to 1.8 GW of power and also in Q-Switch and Photo-Thermal modes, thus making Discovery PICO the most powerful laser in its class.

The innovation introduced by Discovery PICO consists in peak power level through ultrashort pulses that is twice more powerful than any other Picosecond laser for medical applications. This has enhanced the treatment results increasing the efficacy on hard-to-treat tattoo inks with a general reduction in the average delivered energy dose.

DISCOVERY PICO PLUS

This version is the first picosecond YAG laser with the same specifi-cations of Discovery Pico combined with a ruby laser able to delivers up to 1.2J of energy and not just few hundred mJ such as other “red” lasers. The 694 nm of Discovery Pico Plus are generated by the most advanced and powerful ruby laser available in the market: very high energy per pulse in Q-Switched or Photo Thermal pulses, big spot sizes and fast repetition rates make this laser, together with the 532 and 1064 nm which work also in picosecond regime, a real solution for the treatment of almost all tattoo colors andpigmented lesion even on very dark skins and represent the best combination for unmatched treatment efficacy and safety.

The DISCOVERY PICO SERIES is an innovative laser with a contemporary Italian design that opened a new era.

It has been developed by Quanta System with a “historical” solid reputation for ultrashort-pulsed lasers and it is dedicated to all professionals that want to be a point of reference in the aesthetic field, through the most advanced laser technology which offers excellent results to patients.

When the laser radiation is emitted at nanoseconds and picoseconds pulses and the power density is in the range of the GW and the laser light is absorbed by clusters or particles of ink or melanosomes, it generates an extremely rapid rise of temperature up to more than 900°C 1. This rapid heating induces an extremely fast expansion in the target, which generates a mechanical wave (acoustic) that crosses over the target itself. The generated wave exerts a pressure that exceeds the fracture threshold of the target, causing its fragmentation 2.

PHOTOACOUSTIC EFFECT

BEFORE AFTER PICO

The picosecond YAG laser can break down the smallest ink particles which compose the black tattoos. This color, due also to the very small dimensions of its particles, sometimes become resistant to Q-Switched treatments showing small improvements at every session. The picosecond pulse can fragments even the smallest black ink particle in a really thin “dust”, which is easier to be eliminated by the body immune system. By emitting at both 532 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths at picosecond regime, Discovery PICO can treat different tattoo colors, superficial and deep pigmented lesions by using also the Q-Switched emission modes. As an exclusive feature of this laser, the Photo-Thermal mode permits to treat also the aged skin (skin rejuvenation) effectively.

INK CLUSTER FRAGMENTATION

INK PARTICLE PULVERIZATION

WITH PICO LASER

Thereafter, the fragments can undergo phagocytosis by macrophages and be removed through the lymphatic system. This is the process called photoacoustic effect which is literally able to “pulverize” particles. To make this happen at the best conditions, the laser pulse duration must shorter than the time of crossing over of the mechanical wave within the target, which for ink clusters is in nanoseconds and for the smallest ink particles and single melanosomes is in the picosecond range, all this leaving the surrounding tissues unaffected.

NO MORE COLOUR LIMITS

The Q-Switched Ruby of the Plus version of Discovery PICO effectively extends the range of treatable colors. This is the most effective laser for the treatment of blue and green colors due to the very high pulse energy able to really break down the ink clusters.

The particles of colors treated by this laser are in average bigger that the ones composing the black ink and are really well responding to ns pulses too.
