by
The Cynosure Advantage
Cynosure has a strong legacy of developing, acquiring and
launching the most technologically advanced laser systems in the
world; from the development of Accolade to the acquisition of the
gold standard ConBio MedLite and RevLite platforms to the launch
of the world’s first aesthetic picosecond laser, PicoSure.

Accolade™
Q-Switched Alexandrite Laser
Equipped with a high-powered
Q-Switched Alexandrite laser,
the Accolade is ideal for treating
the full spectrum of benign
pigmented lesions from Nevus
of Ota and Nevus of Ito, to the
common freckle. It also treats
black, blue, brown and, unlike
other lasers, green tattoos.
Faster treatments. Excellent clearance.
The Accolade’s multiple spot sizes, coupled with high repetition rates,
allow for fast lesion and tattoo treatment.
More energy. Less trauma.
State-of-the-art technology allows for energy delivery at a more clearly
defined, homogenous beam profile, which limits damage to surrounding
tissue and reduces the risk of scarring or epidermal damage.
Efficient and consistent
 Flexible fibre delivery system for ease of use
 Homogenous beam profile for uniform and consistent delivery of energy
 Accurate aiming beam to ensure that treatment
is delivered to exact location
 Mild treatment to maximise patient comfort while
minimising epidermal damage and punctual bleedings
Nanosecond technology to maximise photo-disruptive effect
 Ultra-short pulse widths are
required to shatter melanosomes
and tattoo pigments using the
PhotoAcoustic effect.

RevLite features PhotoAcoustic
Technology Pulse™ (PTP) to
provide maximum power and
versatility for a broad range
of indications.
These indications include:
 Non-ablative skin resurfacing
 Wrinkle reduction
 Melasma (also supported for the treatment of melasma with peer reviewed clinical article)
 Epidermal and dermal pigmented lesions
 Nevus of Ota  Solar Lentigines
 Fine vellus hair removal
 Tattoo removal – full colour spectrum
 Vascular lesion removal
 Works on all skin types
PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse (PTP)
PhotoAcoustic Technology is a unique dispersion of maximum energy
that delivers very narrow pulse widths of up to 60% more power* for
larger spot sizes. This unique nanosecond pulse configuration causes a
dual collagen stimulation action, providing both a PhotoAcoustic effect
and a subtle photothermal effect from the pulse delivery.
Clinical studies indicate that PTP mode increases patient comfort and
is more effective for skin rejuvenation.1 The PhotoAcoustic technology
is distributed evenly over the skin surface through a superior flat-top
beam profile, without spikes or hot spots, which significantly minimises
epidermal injury.

PicoSure™
Picosecond Aesthetic Laser
PicoSure, the world’s first,
fast and effective picosecond
aesthetic laser has arrived for
unprecedented results in tattoo
removal, pigmentation, acne
scarring and wrinkles.
This unparalleled breakthrough in laser technology delivers
ultra-short pulse bursts of energy to the skin in trillionths of a second.
Picosecond pulse width is 100X shorter than QS Alexandrite
nanosecond technology, enabling unmatched photomechanical
impact for better clearance with fewer treatments, less fluence,
and without injury to the surrounding skin. Even dark, stubborn
blue and green inks, as well as previously-treated, recalcitrant tattoos
can be removed.
Ultra-short pulse duration is the difference
 Picosecond pulse width is 100X shorter
than QS Alexandrite nanosecond technology
 Only ultra-short pulse durations trigger photomechanical effect
 With this short pulse width, half the fluence is required
compared to Q-Switched nanosecond lasers
PicoSure; the ONLY picosecond technology
with the Lens Array for skin revitalisation
The FOCUS Lens Array channels the powerful
photomechanical effect of PicoSure into focus rays.
 The energy of a focus array is 20X
that of a standard PicoSure pulse
 The concentrated energy treats 10% of the tissue,
while the surrounding area is treated by a lower
fluence for a gentler background effect.
 The FOCUS Lens Array can be used on a wide variety of areas
of the body, such as the face, décolletage, hands and arms.
