How It Works

EXTRA-818M uses controlled broad-spectrum IPL energy combined with adjustable pulse sequencing to selectively target multiple chromophores including melanin, hemoglobin, and porphyrins.

The system dynamically manages:

Pulse Structure

Single, double or triple pulses to protect epidermis while heating target tissue

Energy Distribution

Even fluence delivery across the entire treatment spot

Cooling Synchronization

Continuous contact cooling before, during, and after each pulse

Clinical Advantage

Traditional IPL systems rely on fixed presets and manual adjustments

EXTRA-818M provides protocol-based treatment selection optimized by indication, skin type, and treatment area, reducing operator error and improving consistency across sessions

Result: Safer treatments, reduced downtime, and higher patient satisfaction in daily clinical practice

Clinical Indications

Primary Applications

Permanent hair reduction on face and body

Treatment of pigmented lesions including sun spots and freckles

Vascular lesions including telangiectasia and facial redness

Acne vulgaris through porphyrin photothermal destruction

Skin Rejuvenation Applications

Photorejuvenation and skin tone evening

Reduction of fine lines and mild wrinkles

Improvement of skin texture and pore appearance

Treatment of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Adjunct Medical and Cosmetic Uses

Pre-procedure skin conditioning

Maintenance treatments between laser sessions

Combination protocols with RF or laser systems

Skin Type Compatibility

Fitzpatrick Type

Suitability

I–II

Excellent safety and efficacy

III–IV

Effective with adjusted fluence and pulse duration

V

Treatable with conservative parameters and extended cooling

Note: As with all IPL systems, Fitzpatrick VI is generally not recommended due to melanin absorption risk

Safety Architecture

Contact-Only Energy Emission

IPL pulses activate only with full handpiece contact

Reduces risk of accidental exposure

Real-Time Temperature Control

Integrated cooling sapphire maintains epidermal protection

Minimizes risk of burns and blistering

Intelligent Pulse Sequencing

Multi-pulse modes allow thermal relaxation between sub-pulses

Improves safety for darker or sensitive skin

System Interlocks

Software and hardware safety checks before each pulse

Compliant with international medical laser and light-based device standards
