Combination 1J Nd:YAG and 1J Ruby tattoo removal laser
The Astanza Trinity was designed to be the world’s most useful tattoo removal laser. Every day in tattoo removal clinics around the world, it fulfills that mission.
Responding to the demand of our physician practitioners for a single laser with sufficient power and spectrum of wavelengths to remove any tattoo, we built a combination Nd:YAG and Ruby laser. Unlike other lasers that use one laser to pump a second laser or dye hand piece, the Trinity has TruePower – the ability to deliver a full Joule of power with every pulse of Nd:YAG or Ruby-generated energy.
The result is a laser system that allows busy practitioners to – with a single laser – do a job of two lasers, and then some. The extremely short pulse of our q-switched lasers (in the low nanosecond range) allows for maximum peak powers sufficient to shatter tattoo ink, while keeping the patient’s skin safe from excessive energy exposure than can lead to undesirable side effects.
Through the principles of selective absorption, the Trinity’s 1064nm, 532nm, and 694nm wavelengths are able to address tattoo ink without causing long-term damage to other chromophores. With an Astanza-trained practitioner, patients can finally achieve tattoo-free skin in a fast, well-tolerated procedure. From Astanza – the tattoo removal technology leader – this is the Trinity.
Key Features - Our Technology
Astanza’s commitment is to tattoo removal technology, and our lasers incorporate proven science that’s innovative and effective.
One System, Two Lasers, Three Useful Wavelengths
Trinity technology packs a 1-2-3 punch. One laser system incorporates two separate, independent lasers to produce three incredibly useful wavelengths of light.
The Nd:YAG laser produces light at 1064nm through exciting the atoms of a Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystal. This wavelength is highly effective at treating dark tattoos but allows for minimal absorption by melanin. This means that tattoo ink will shatter and that even patients of darker skin types will see minimal disruption of skin tone.
The 1064nm light is then passed through a highly-efficient non-linear KTP crystal to produce what is called “frequency-doubled” 532nm light. This light, which appears green, is effective at addressing tattoo ink of a complementary color – in this case red, orange, and yellow.
The system’s second independent laser uses a synthetic ruby crystal to produce a third wavelength of light at 694.3nm. The ruby laser is highly regarded for its ability to remove blue and green tattoos that Nd:YAG lasers aren’t able to sufficiently address.
TruePower
Astanza laser offers TruePower to our practitioners. The wavelengths of light our lasers produce offer maximum fluence sufficient to shatter the ink in difficult-to-remove tattoos. Unlike other lasers that can’t offer effective treatments beyond the first few treatments, the Trinity pushes through barriers to help you complete follow-up treatments and offer complete removal of stubborn ink.
The Trinity created TruePower through using large cylindrical crystals inside industry-leading optical cavities, multiple flash lamps, and precision optics that minimize energy bleed. Our lasers are slightly larger – and significantly more powerful – than the competition.
Active Q-Switching
Active q-switching is a technique that allows for the production of truly powerful pulses from a laser through active loss modulation. In the Trinity, the laser’s crystal is continuously pumped while the energy extraction of light is prevented by keeping resonator losses high. Then, power is applied to the modulator, causing a loss in the resonator, and the creation of a powerful pulse for a fraction of a second.
Such pulses output produced by active q-switching can be up to many megawatts for a billionth of a second, which is sufficient to create powerful photo-acoustic waves that offer a second method of fracturing tattoo ink.
Lower-quality tattoo removal lasers use passive q-switching, which produces repetitive shots of dramatically lower pulse energies. In these systems, a saturable absorber replaces the active modulator to control pulsing. This cheap and unsophisticated technique can be equated with using a dozen BB guns against a tank versus a bazooka. Without powerful pulses, tattoo ink cannot be removed, and practitioners will be able to offer nothing but ineffective treatments beyond the first or second session.
Even, Flat-Top Beam
Astanza tattoo removal lasers produce a beam with attractive flat top beam characteristics. This allows for uniform power distribution across the diameter of the laser beam, and avoids the micro-spikes and micro-nadirs in Gaussian irradiance distributions. The homogenous beam profile of Astanza’s Trinity laser allows better clearance of resistant tattoos.
User-Friendly Touch Screen
Busy practices appreciate the easy-input touch screen on the Trinity. The key variables you’ll adjust (wavelength, fluence, spot size, and repetition rate) can be changed in seconds through the interface that is clear for new users yet versatile for experienced practitioners. Users that prefer a traditional style of input will appreciate the redundant rotary-dial that alters key settings.
Articulated Arm for Pulse Delivery
An articulated arm is a preferred means of sealed beam delivery for applications like tattoo removal where precision is required. Counter-balanced and allowing full freedom of movement of the hand piece, articulated arms allow practitioners to comfortably and effectively deliver laser energy to the patient’s tattoo throughout an entire day.
