F.A.Q.

What is this system ?

The Pulsar is an Intense Pulsed Light system. Unlike standard IPL systems, it uses a novel pulse system that ensures absolutely distinct pulses with the ability to provide a number of separate sequences of light pulsing within what appears to the eye as a single flash. This has been termed APL (accumulative pulsed light) by the company and will enable more energy to be delivered to the skin with less chance of skin damage.

Where/Who is it from ?

The Pulsar is totally UK designed, developed and manufactured. The manufacturing company, Excel Photonix Systems Ltd, is the result of a merger bringing together more than a decade of experience in laser and IPL design with a precision engineering company with 16 years experience of producing highly precise machinery. The merger has resulted in the Pulsar and a host of novel applications that are currently awaiting patent filing.

What can it do ?

The Pulsar is suitable for               Permanent hair reduction

                                                Photorejuvenation for aging skin

                                                Bacterial acne

                                                Sun damaged skin

                                                Birthmarks

                                                Facial thread veins and spider veins

                                                Rosacea

                                                Pigmented lesions

                                                Vascular lesions.

It has undergone extensive clinical studies with leading surgical dermatologists in Europe to verify its effectiveness in all applications.

There will be several new applications launched later this year that will extend the range of treatments available with the Pulsar.

When are results expected ?

Marked reduction in hair regrowth can be seen after just a few treatment sessions depending on the area treated. With photorejuvenation, sometimes only one treatment may be necessary to produce excellent results – for example, in treatment of spider naevi or solar lentigines.

Future developments ?

There are many further applications available from the Pulsar and developments are taking place currently to determine the effectiveness of the Pulsar on several new treatment programmes. Development of the system itself is a continual process ensuring that salons will always be able to access the latest technology throught the Pulsar system.

What makes it so special ?

A very recent addition to the Pulsar has been the largest applicator head in the world. At 22 cm² the new treatment head will be able to complete a treatment sessions for permanent hair reduction on the legs in around 20 minutes. The technology for ensuring a uniform energy release across such a large area has proved to be very difficult in the past with existing IPL technology but he Pulsar has managed to overcome this difficulty. The wide range of applications across hair reduction and photorejuvenation make this an ideal system for general use in salons and clinics.

How does it work ?

The Pulsar uses Intense Pulsed Light across 515nm to 950nm with a repetition rate of between 1sec and 2.5 sec depending on the applicator head in use. It works on all skin types and the standard applicator head is 5cm².  The system is very simple to use, with all treatments being pre-programmed into the system as default settings. The energy levels can be increased by the operator as required. The Pulsar display will show the operator exactly which treatment setting has been chosen for the skin type and pigmentation level.

What products are required ?

The Pulsar is purchased as a complete system with applicator heads for permanent hair reduction. Training is provided for the operators and the system is so easy to use that all salons should be able to generate revenues very soon after purchase.

How much does it cost ?

There are numerous options available to obtain the system including revenue share.
