Cynergy workstation con MultiPlex

Todos sabemos que para tratar una mancha de vino oporto se necesita única y exclusivamente un láser, que es el láser colorante pulsado, siendo el standard de oro el Candela Vbeam. Pues bien los resultados siempre han ido de la mano, sin embargo, hay un grupo de casos que no respondieron al Vbeam a pesar de tener repetidas sesiones. Bueno para este tipo de casos nace el Cynergy workstation con multiplex. Suena a mucho, será tanto?
En realidad el CWM es una combinación de 2 sistemas de láser. Por un lado tenemos un láser colorante pulsado -pulse dye laser- que trabaja en un rango entre los 585 nm y/o 595nm -acá hay una dualidad, aún los datos exactos no han sido entregados por la Cynosure productora del Cynergy. Por otro lado hay un láser Nd: YAG, que como sabemos trabaja en un rango exacto de 1064 nm. Ok, pueden preguntarse? son 2 máquinas en 1 cual es el "gran avance"? Básicamente no es un avance, es un salto. La lógica que tienen los señores de Cynosure es que pulsando casi intercaladamente a diferentes longitudes de onda, lo que va a suceder es que se van a poder atacar tanto los vasos superficiales -afectados por la onda corta de 585 - 595 nm- como los profundos -por la onda larga de 1064 nm. Es por eso que hablan de un efecto de multiplexos, porque atacan tanto a plexos superficiales como profundos, teniendo en cuenta una sinergia de potenciamiento del efecto.
El tema del cooling device, DCD o simplemente sistema de enfriamiento previo no lo tengo claro -como dije hace unas horas recién solicité todo el consolidado de información a la Cynosure. Pero en reportes de pacientes que ya han sido tratados con el Cynergy, comparando las sensaciones del Vbeam con el Cynergy, en apariencia, el Cynergy trabajando a una intensidad de 14 J/cm2 no produce ni siquiera escozor, versus el ardor ante el disparo del Vbeam.
Gran tema, trabajaremos con el Cynergy? me gustaría. Todos sabemos que obvio en Sudamérica va a resultar complicado, pero vamos alguna sociedad altruista puede donarnos una de éstas máquinas.
Cuando hace unos años me dijeron que la tecnología de la guerra de las galaxias era lo único que serviría para eliminar mi angioma, el tipo que me lo dijo terminó en el piso con la nariz sangrando. Hoy estoy casi convencido que tengo que ir a pedirle mis más sinceras disculpas.

Cynergy workstation with MultiPlex

Actually we've contacted Cynosure for getting the latest information about the Multiplex. It's known that the Candela Vbeam is the gold standard for port wine stains, but a percentage of them did not respond well. So this kind of double laser source provided by Cynergy, seems to be the real thing. Maybe it's time to switch off from the "gold standard" to the "real thing" uh?

Cynosure, Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of a broad array of light-based aesthetic treatment systems, announced the product launch of its flagship Cynergy(R) workstation with MultiPlex(TM) technology.

The Cynergy workstation with MultiPlex technology marks an innovative development in the treatment of dermatological vascular conditions through the use of laser based technology. This system recently received FDA clearance and is the first system to enable the rapid sequential emission of two wavelengths from the same optical fiber -- a pulse-dye laser and a Nd:YAG laser -- with a short time delay between the two pulses. The time delay increases the safety and effectiveness of laser treatment.

"The Cynergy workstation with MultiPlex technology is the culmination of significant research and development efforts not only internally, but collaboratively with leading clinicians at the forefront of their specialty utilizing cutting-edge technology," said Michael R. Davin, CEO of Cynosure, Inc. "We are proud to offer the first single laser system that will enable doctors to customize treatment options specific to their patients' needs to achieve significantly improved results for a range of vascular applications."

In clinical studies, treatments using the Cynergy workstation with MultiPlex technology have shown an increased depth of penetration of energy and improved effectiveness in treating portwine stains, and improved outcomes for facial and leg telangiectasia when compared to treatments using a pulse- dye laser or a Nd:YAG laser individually.

David Goldberg, M.D., clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, states, "When treating portwine stains, hemangiomas and spider veins, it is very clear that you achieve a better overall effect when using these two wavelengths together than with either wavelength separately."

"The use of either a pulse-dye laser or a Nd:YAG laser alone has limits," commented Emil Tanghetti, M.D., clinical professor of cosmetic dermatology at the University of California, Davis. "However, when combined, these two wavelengths appear to be effective for treating many vascular lesions such as blebbed portwine stains and difficult facial telangiectasia, which were resistant to treatment in the past. This is a truly innovative and exciting development."
