ROSEVILLE, Calif. (November 3, 2008) - Debuting from CoolTouch Inc., a leading U.S.-based developer and manufacturer of innovative, advanced laser products for medical professionals, the CoolLipo Trio? answers the need for increased practice profitability and patient care for a minimal, one-time investment. The multi-purpose CoolLipo Trio? allows physicians to perform laser-assisted lipolysis and skin tightening with CoolLipo, endovenous ablation with CTEV and non-ablative skin rejuvenation with CoolBreeze, all in one laser system. This new combination system helps physicians expand their practices and services without the need to purchase multiple instruments and equipment, while increasing the scope of patient care and improving the overall success of physicians' practices.
The CoolLipo Trio system is based on CoolTouch's signature 1320 nm wavelength, a wavelength that has a proven track record for fat ablation, dermal collagen regeneration and endovenous ablation of varicose veins. This particular wavelength targets water within the cellular structure and has a shallow depth of penetration, limiting the potential for collateral damage to outlying structures.
The CoolLipo Trio's first and foremost modality is the CoolLipo procedure for laser-assisted lipolysis and skin tightening, which is used widely to sculpt small areas of the body such as the neck, jowls, chin, and saddlebags, or to tighten a loose belly. CoolLipo can be used in conjunction with larger liposuction cases by using the CoolBlue Duet, the only handpiece on the market that lases and aspirates simultaneously, reducing procedure time and providing tighter skin more efficiently.
In addition to laser-assisted lipolysis and skin tightening, the CoolLipo Trio also includes an endovenous ablation modality with CoolTouch CTEV, allowing physicians to treat patient's varicose veins. The CTEV procedure provides patients with an attractive alternative to vein stripping and is cited as having a greater than 95% closure of varicose veins after just one treatment. Physicians have reported that the endovenous procedure provides less discomfort, a quicker recovery period and better clinical and cosmetic outcomes at a lower cost than other available treatments.
CoolBreeze, the third modality included in the CoolTouch Trio system, allows physicians to perform non-ablative skin rejuvenation treatments. The CoolBreeze treatment penetrates dermal tissue to stimulate the generation of collagen without surface damage, and is a comfortable, safe procedure that can be performed in a series of treatments for fine lines, skin tightening, acne, and acne scarring.
The CoolLipo Trio's unique features include the highest peak power range on the market, with a range of 2 ? 25 watts in 0.5 increments, allowing physicians to perform a wide range of procedures using select parameters. Variable pulse lengths produce different effects, such as acoustic destruction for fat ablation or more gradual heating for skin tightening. Additionally, the Ablate/Thermal button allows physicians to easily switch back and forth between fat ablation and thermal heating during a laser lipolysis procedure, saving time and increasing treatment efficiency.
Other signature CoolTouch features include: JouleTracker, an automatic pullback device on the endovenous platform, equipped with three speeds for efficacy and an alert feature if the fiber slips; an exclusive fiber test port, ensuring delivery of the proper level of laser energy through the fiber for reliability and excellent patient outcomes; and the largest range of sizes and types of handpieces and cannulas, as well as fibers. The CoolLipo Trio's easy-to-use control interface makes training and immediate incorporation into existing practices simple and quick. The large number and variety of treatment indications and unique system specifications are unmatched in the marketplace.
Backed by CoolTouch's clinical research and science-based technology, as well as a reputation for reliability and consistent operation, the CoolLipo Trio offers physicians three functions ? laser-assisted lipolysis with skin tightening, non-ablative skin rejuvenation and endovenous ablation ? in one system to increase patient care and practice profitability.
