Cynosure Apogee is a laser that has attracted much attention in the field of medical beauty. With its advanced technology and excellent performance, it plays an important role in many treatment projects.
(I) Working principle
Cynosure Apogee uses 755nm wavelength alexandrite laser technology based on the principle of selective photothermal action. This wavelength is highly absorbed by melanin. When the laser energy acts on the skin, the melanin in the hair follicles absorbs the laser energy and converts it into heat energy. While accurately destroying the hair follicles, it minimizes damage to the surrounding normal skin tissue, thereby achieving efficient and safe treatment effects.
(II) Functional characteristics
Laser hair removal: With the high absorption rate of melanin at 755nm wavelength, Apogee performs well in laser hair removal. It is suitable for a variety of skin types, especially for people with fair skin, and its effect can be called the gold standard. Clinical trials have shown that after three treatments, an average of 79% of hair can be permanently reduced.
Treatment of pigmented lesions: It can effectively remove epidermal pigmented lesions, such as age spots, sun spots, freckles, etc. The high energy of the laser breaks down pigment particles into tiny fragments, which can be recognized and removed by the human immune system, thereby improving skin quality, brightening skin tone, and restoring uniform skin tone.
(III) Technical advantages
High energy, large spot: Apogee laser has high power output, energy up to 20J/cm², and spot diameter up to 18mm. Large spot can cover a larger treatment area, shorten treatment time, and improve treatment efficiency; high energy ensures sufficient effect on target tissue, such as more effective destruction of hair follicles during hair removal.
II. Mesej ralat biasa
(I) Energy output abnormality error
Error manifestation: The device may have an error prompt that the energy output is unstable or cannot reach the preset energy value. During the treatment, the laser intensity may fluctuate, or the laser may not be able to output sufficient intensity, affecting the treatment effect.
(II) Cooling system error
Error manifestation: The device prompts a cooling system failure, such as excessive cooling water temperature, abnormal cooling water flow, etc. At this time, the cooling system may not be able to effectively remove the heat generated by the laser, and the device may automatically reduce the power or even shut down to avoid overheating damage.
(III) Control system error
Error manifestation: The control panel cannot respond to operating instructions, prompts parameter setting errors, or the communication between the device and external control devices (such as computers, foot switches) is interrupted. This will cause the operator to be unable to control the device normally for treatment.
(IV) Optical path system error
Error manifestation: prompts problems such as optical path deviation and beam quality degradation. In actual treatment, it is often observed that the laser beam spot has irregular shape and inaccurate position, which affects the treatment accuracy.

(I) Penyelenggaraan harian
Equipment cleaning: Regularly wipe the device housing with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to remove surface dust and stains. For optical components, professional optical cleaning tools and reagents must be used and cleaned according to the correct operating methods. Deep cleaning should be performed at least once a week to prevent dust, oil, etc. from adhering to the surface of the lens and affecting the optical path and laser energy transmission.
