Deka SmartXide2 CO2 Laser

The DEKA SmartXide² is an advanced laser platform that combines CO2 laser technology with RF Diode capabilities for a wide range of medical and aesthetic applications. It is particularly known for its versatility in dermatology, plastic surgery, gynecology, and ENT (ear, nose, and throat) treatments. This system is used for procedures such as skin resurfacing, wrinkle reduction, scar treatment, and vaginal rejuvenation.

Laser Type

CO2 Laser (Carbon Dioxide Laser) with fractional technology

Wavelength: 10,600 nm (infrared)

Energy Delivery

Power Output: Up to 60 watts (adjustable)

Pulse Energy: Up to 300 mJ per pulse

Pulse Duration: Adjustable, with both continuous and fractional pulse modes available.

Emission Modes: Single pulse, repeat pulse, and continuous wave (CW).

Pulse Technology: UltraPulse technology allows the delivery of very short, high-peak power pulses for precise, controlled ablation with minimal thermal damage.

Scanning and Fractional Technology

SmartStack Technology: Unique to DEKA, this feature allows for up to 5 layers of laser energy to be delivered in the same spot, which increases the depth of treatment without causing excessive thermal damage to the surrounding tissue. It allows the practitioner to control the level of ablation and coagulation for each pulse.

DOT (Dermal Optical Thermolysis): Fractional laser treatment that creates microscopic treatment zones (DOTs) while leaving healthy tissue intact, promoting faster healing.

Scanning System: The HiScan DOT/RF scanner can be used for fractional skin resurfacing and RF-assisted treatments. The scanning system offers precise control over the pattern, energy, and density of the laser application.

Spot Size: Adjustable between 200 µm to 1.5 mm, depending on the treatment depth and desired result.

Scan Area: Scanning patterns can be customized in terms of shape (circular, square, rectangular) and size for different treatment areas.

Treatment Modes

Fractional Ablative CO2 Mode: For deep resurfacing, skin rejuvenation, and treatment of wrinkles, scars, and laxity.

Continuous Wave Mode: For surgical excisions, incisions, and coagulation in medical procedures.

V²LR (Vaginal Laser Reshaping): A specialized gynecological mode for vaginal rejuvenation and treatment of vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA), stress urinary incontinence, and other vaginal health issues. This mode integrates CO2 laser technology with fractional delivery for safe and effective treatments.

RF Diode: Integrated Radio Frequency (RF) energy can be used alongside CO2 laser for enhanced tissue tightening and collagen remodeling.

Applications

Aesthetic Dermatology: Skin resurfacing, wrinkle reduction, scar treatment (including acne scars), and skin tightening.

Gynecology: Vaginal rejuvenation, treatment of vulvovaginal atrophy, stress urinary incontinence, and post-menopausal symptoms.

ENT (Otorhinolaryngology): Use in ENT surgeries for precise cutting and coagulation of tissue.

Plastic Surgery: For skin rejuvenation, scar treatment, and post-surgical skin tightening.

General Surgery: CO2 laser excisions for dermatological surgeries like mole and lesion removal.

User Interface

Touchscreen Display: Large, intuitive color touchscreen control panel for easy adjustment of laser parameters, including pulse energy, treatment modes, and scanning settings.

Preset Treatment Programs: Offers preset settings for a variety of procedures, ensuring consistency and reducing setup time for common treatments.

Cooling System

Integrated cooling system for patient comfort and to minimize thermal damage during the procedure, especially in higher energy settings or longer treatment sessions.

Handpieces and Accessories

HiScan DOT/RF Scanner: For fractional treatments on the face, neck, chest, and body.

Surgical Handpieces: Various handpieces for ENT and gynecological applications.

Vaginal Handpiece: Specifically designed for V²LR treatments with adjustable depth control for vaginal and vulvar treatments.

Safety Features

SmartPulse Technology: Real-time energy monitoring ensures consistent energy delivery and minimizes risks of overtreatment or thermal damage.

Adjustable Energy and Power Levels: Provides fine control over treatment depth and intensity, improving safety and adaptability for different skin types and conditions.

Recovery Time

Aesthetic Treatments: Fractional treatments like skin resurfacing have a moderate recovery period, usually 3-7 days, depending on the intensity. The SmartStack feature allows for customization of downtime based on treatment depth.

Gynecology Treatments: Vaginal rejuvenation treatments typically involve minimal downtime with most patients returning to normal activities within a day or two.

Key Benefits

Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of treatments, including skin resurfacing, vaginal rejuvenation, scar revision, and surgical procedures.

Precision: Fractional CO2 technology with SmartStack allows for highly controlled treatment depth, minimizing collateral damage to surrounding tissues.

Minimal Downtime: Thanks to the fractional technology, recovery times are reduced compared to traditional CO2 lasers.

Customization: Offers adjustable parameters like scan size, density, and energy for personalized treatments tailored to each patient’s needs.

Indications

Fine lines and wrinkles

Acne scars and surgical scars

Skin laxity and uneven texture

Sun damage and pigmentation

Vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) and stress urinary incontinence

Lesions and skin irregularities in ENT and surgical applications
