Lumenis FemTouch Laser

Lumenis FemTouch is powered by the
Lumenis AcuPulse CO2 laser.
This innovative CO2 laser technology enables precise
and controlled fractional laser microbeams to
be applied to the vaginal lining.

CO2 lasers produce light at a 10,600nm wavelength,
which is absorbed by water in the tissue.
The laser energy heats up the water until it
reaches a boiling point causing the evaporation of
the affected tissue.
Some heat is absorbed by tissue adjacent to
the ablated target area, causing tissue coagulation
which induces hemostasis (the cessation of bleeding)
as well as thermal stimulation of deep skin layers,
which induces fibroblast stimulation and
neocollagenesis (the formation of new collagen).

The laser beam can also be transmitted through a
scanner which is a device used to further control the
delivery of energy. The scanner regulates the
configuration of energy delivered onto the skin,
which can range from covering the entire treatment
area or just a fraction of it (leaving the areas in
between untreated);
(also referred to as fractional ablation).
The overall effect of ablation and coagulation,
either full or fractional, is the removal of skin and
the stimulation of the body to replace it with newer,
younger skin.

Ablative lasers generate beams of coherent light that
are absorbed by the body’s tissue as energy.

The energy is delivered through a narrow range of
wavelengths, and in the target area,
the energy causes temperature elevation which
results in tissue evaporation or ablation.
Ablative lasers effectively treat a broad range of
skin conditions by removing all or part of the skin.
The body’s natural healing processes then
replace the damaged skin with new and
healthy tissue. Although several types of
ablative lasers exist, differing mainly by wavelength,
CO2 lasers have long been considered the
industry’s ‘Gold Standard’ for ablation,
delivering an exceptional ratio between ablation and
coagulation (heating tissue without evaporating it).

UltraPulse®
UltraPulse® delivers high peak power in a
short pulse duration for deep penetration with
ideal ablation and coagulation ratio.

SuperPulse™
SuperPulse delivers high peak power in a
short pulse duration for deep penetration with
ideal ablation and coagulation ratio.

Continuous Wave (CW)
delivers low peak power for superficial impact and
a wider coagulation zone used for full ablation and
fractional treatments.
