A thermoelectrically cooled sapphire crystal on the handpiece provides continuous skin cooling before, during and after treatment for added patient comfort. "Our new hair removal technology boasts the highest power of any light device in this class on the market.

The third-generation device builds on the original VelaShape elos-based—RF and light— technology, and includes new features, such as increased RF power of up to 150W; sophisticated real time feedback mechanisms for consistent RF delivery independent of tissue variations; and a built-in, real time tissue surface temperature sensor. The system also offers a range of tips for treatment on different parts of the body. "In clinical trials we found that we can achieve a quicker temperature end point in a matter of minutes with VelaShape III," said Dermatologist Lori Brightman, MD. "By reaching temperature endpoint quicker, practitioners can use the valuable time to maintain the necessary temperature to effectively complete the treatment in a much shorter session."
