Notes
810nm diode laser with Skintel melanin reader for personalized settings. Large spot size for fast treatment. Previously Palomar Vectus. Cynosure acquired Palomar Medical in 2013.
Overview
Cynosure's premium 810nm diode laser with the largest spot size available in a diode system. Built for high-volume clinics. Originally developed by Palomar Medical before Cynosure's acquisition in 2013.
How It Works
The Skintel melanin reader measures patient skin type objectively to recommend settings, rather than relying on visual assessment. Sapphire contact cooling protects the skin.
Typical Uses
- Fast treatment of large body areas (back, chest, legs)
- High-volume practices where speed matters
Key Features
Skintel melanin reader removes guesswork from parameter selection. Large spot size significantly reduces treatment time. Older units may still carry the Palomar branding.
