Skintel® Melanin Reader™

The industry’s only melanin reader

• Adds an element of treatment confidence

Measures the skin’s diffuse reflectance at three

unique wavelengths of light

• Values are computed into a melanin index (MI) value

which corresponds to a specific test spot fluence

• Enables ancillary staff to conduct treatments

How Do You Use Skintel?

3 EASY STEPS

1 Provider takes three sample measurements

on the skin within or near area to be treated

2 The average measurement is sent wirelessly

to the Vectus system

3 The user proceeds to enter client

characteristics: hair color; hair diameter;

and hair density

A test spot fluence is then calculated in real-time.

Advanced Contact Cooling

• Unique coolant flow pattern for pre,

during and post treatment cooling

• Large sapphire block provides

excellent heat transfer

Maximum comfort

and minimized risk.

Photon Recycling™

Maximizes treatment results

by reducing energy loss

Highly reflective mirrors inside the

lamp send reflected photons of energy

back into the targeted area.

This innovative design can increase

the fluence available to heat the target

by 1.5 to 2 times!

Spikes are often associated with

excessive rise in epidermal

temperature resulting in discomfort

and possible negative side-effects

Unique User Friendly Interface

Simple “Quadrant” design guides the user through

selecting the four key parameters:

• Hair density

• Fitzpatrick skin type

or Skintel value

• Hair diameter

• Hair color

No Disposables

Disposable components are required with other hair removal

systems such as the LightSheer Duet and the GentleLASE®.

• LightSheer Duet HS Insert: Approximately $8/insert

– 2-6 inserts often necessary to treat a male back

• GentleLASE Cryogen: Approximately $50/canister

Histology

Optimization of hair removal devices

requires sufficient fluence to be

delivered and absorbed by the follicle

in appropriate pulse widths to cause

the needed temperature rise of the

follicle’s cells without causing

excessive skin temperatures.

Growing Market

Hair removal is the #1 requested energy-

based aesthetic treatment, with 12.2 million

procedures worldwide. It is expected to

grow to 12.9 million procedures in 2016.1

Nearly all women over age 12 engage in

hair removal on a regular basis,1 but males

are a rapidly growing patient segment.2
