1. Core Technology: The “Golden Combination” of Dual Wavelengths
The latest device continues and enhances its core dual-wavelength technology, allowing it to work with all skin tones and hair types:
755nm Alexandrite Laser: Extremely high absorption rate for melanin. Best suited for: Light skin tones, fine hair, and superficial pigmentation (such as freckles and sunspots).
1064nm Ultra-Long Pulse Nd:YAG Laser: Penetrates deeper, bypassing epidermal melanin to act directly on deeper layers. Best suited for: Dark skin tones/dark/yellow skin (extremely safe, less likely to burn), coarse hair, and deep vascular lesions (such as rosacea and varicose veins).
2. Key Upgrades of the Latest “Plus” Generation
Compared to the older SuperMax, the latest Plus version represents a leap forward in efficiency and comfort:
Industry-Leading 26mm Large Spot Size: The older models typically had a maximum spot size of 18mm or 20mm. The latest Plus version introduces a 26mm maximum spot size. The larger spot size means deeper laser penetration and a 30-40% reduction in treatment time. Larger areas like the back or legs can now be treated in just over ten minutes.
Short Pulse Durations: The latest version supports even shorter microsecond-level pulse widths. This provides more precise targeting and removal of previously notoriously difficult-to-treat fine hairs, upper lip hair, and residual light-colored vellus hair.
Patented DCD Dynamic Cooling Device: Milliseconds before laser emission, the machine automatically sprays a cryogen onto the skin, instantly cooling and relieving pain. This “cryogen first, laser later” technology ensures high-energy efficacy while minimizing pain and the risk of burns.
3. Main Clinical Applications (Multi-functional): AlexPlus is an all-rounder in dermatology:
Permanent Hair Removal: Covers all individuals with Fitzpatrick skin color types I-VI.
Vascular Lesions Treatment: Improves facial flushing (diffuse erythema), telangiectasia, rosacea, port-wine stains, spider angiomas, and leg veins.
Benign Pigmented Lesions: Lightens age spots, freckles, café-au-lait spots, and other pigmentation.
Anti-aging and firming: The thermal effect of laser can stimulate the regeneration of deep collagen, which can improve fine lines and wrinkles on the face and achieve a skin rejuvenation effect.
The four core technological advantages and clinical changes are as follows:
1. “One-Stop Solution”: Ending the Era of Frequent Handpiece Changes: Previously, hair removal procedures, such as lip hair removal, underarm hair removal, and thigh hair removal, required doctors to stop the machine, remove the old handpiece, replace it with a new one, and recalibrate due to differences in area and hair thickness.
With the Supermax upgrade to AlexPlus: It achieves “single handpiece, single fiber” coverage of all mainstream large spot sizes between 12mm and 26mm. Doctors can seamlessly switch to a larger spot size for thigh hair removal after completing underarm hair removal simply by adjusting the handpiece, greatly simplifying the process.
2. Soaring Treatment Efficiency: Reduced Overall Process Time
Single treatment time reduced by up to 21%: Due to higher energy transmission efficiency and more stable light output frequency, the actual heat exposure and treatment time for the patient on the treatment bed are significantly shortened.
Patient interval reduced by 81%: For institutions, this eliminates the time spent changing handpieces and repeatedly restarting for calibration. After the previous patient gets up, the machine can prepare for the next patient with astonishing speed, with almost “zero wait time.”
3. Higher “Energy Density” (Fluence): More Effective for Fine Hair
AlexPlus uses a newly upgraded, specially designed optical fiber with extremely low internal attenuation. This means it can deliver the powerful laser generated by the machine to the skin surface with higher density and less loss.
Combined with AlexPlus’s unique 2ms ultra-short pulse width, this high energy density allows heat to be concentrated and destroyed in an instant, providing a stronger “one-hit kill” capability for previously stubborn light-colored hair, lip hair, and fine vellus hair remaining after treatment.
4. Longer Lifespan and Greater Durability
Frequent plugging and unplugging of optical fibers and handpieces, as well as prolonged high-load light output, can easily cause hardware wear and tear. The AlexPlus system reduces the total number of laser pulses required to achieve the same therapeutic effect by reducing physical replacements and optimizing beam arrangement. Using fewer pulses not only reduces skin discomfort but also significantly decreases wear and tear on the device, ensuring that energy output remains precise and stable over the long term.
