It’s a 3-in-1 skin and body platform that facilitates a multifaceted approach to treating skin ageing.
The energy-based medical device supplier, Lumenis, is adding a three-in-one multi-modality platform to its portfolio of devices in the UK. The technology is likely to help aesthetic clinics capitalize on the trend for ‘combination treatments’ in the region.
Called the Legend Pro+, the device offers three powerful, clinically-proven, complementary technologies (TriPollar, Voluderm and TriFractional) for the face and body. Significantly, the device is said to offer a comfortable solution with immediate results, long-term efficacy, minimal pain, and downtime, with no need for anaesthesia.
From resurfacing the upper layers of the skin to promoting the regeneration of collagen and elastin fibres in the deeper dermis, the Lumenis Legend Pro+ combines three innovative technologies based on radiofrequency (RF):
TriPollar: triggers the regeneration of collagen and elastin fibres through controlled heating of the deep dermis. This contracts the collagen fibres for immediately noticeable skin tightening. It also increases fibroblast activity for connective tissue regeneration with long-term effects.
Voluderm: encourages the renewal of new and healthy skin. RF-assisted ultra-thin electrodes are applied creating controlled micro-wounds and triggering the production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
TriFractional: resurfaces and regenerates skin through the wound healing process to improve and refine skin texture. Achieved by applying contact RF at pinpoint ablation with controlled volumetric heating.
The device also utilises unique combination therapy – Legend M² – which provides macro volumetric heating of the tissue with precise micro-heating of the dermis. This means, during Legend M² treatment, fibroblasts undergo two different triggers, minimally invasive and non-invasive, to create a synergetic result.
Other features of the Legend Pro+ include five different ultra-thin electrodes and needle tips that differ in length and dimension to create the desired clinical effect. The handpieces can also provide real-time temperature readings with in-motion millisecond precision, alongside a countdown timer display.
Thus, the Legend Pro+ offers clinic teams a toolkit to address a whole host of indications including non-invasive body circumference reduction, skin tightening, reduction of cellulite, and treatment of wrinkles. That enables the creation of personalised treatment plans to respond to the specific needs and desires of each patient.
“Lumenis is excited to introduce the new Legend Pro+ to the UK market,” comments Lumenis’ UK country manager Andrew Greenwell. “An innovative solution for all those seeking healthier skin with minimal pain and downtime, our latest device combines some of the most powerful technology on the market to deliver remarkable results for practitioners and their patients. The clinical benefits of our unique RF technologies are simply unrivalled, and we can’t wait to collaborate closely with our industry partners to harness their value.”
The launch into the UK market comes at a good time for the company, considering combination therapies are becoming increasingly popular in the region. It’s hoped that the technology will have as positive an impact as it has in aesthetic clinics across the globe.
“The TriPollar and the VoluDerm allow me to customize treatments for my patients and to get optimal results,” says Matteo Tretti Clementoni, managing director from Laserplast Sagl, Milan, Italy. “My patients are happy going through almost painless treatment, and the treatment time is shortened without the need for numbing. These unique technologies allow me to treat multiple indications and get exceptional results.”
