The Science of e2 — Complete Sublative Rejuvenation
Dore J. Gilbert, M.D.
Sublative Rejuvenation shifted the paradigm of fractional resurfacing in 2009 by introducing a unique method of energy delivery that focuses maximum collagen production in the deep layers of the skin while keeping the top layer of the skin intact. The introduction of e2 further expands the capabilities of Sublative Rejuvenation to now include treatment of skin irregularities found in both the superficial and deep layers of the skin for complete Sublative Rejuvenation.

FAB-U-LOUS
Martin Braun, M.D., and Edward Zimmerman, M.D.
Pain free laser hair removal with proven, peer reviewed permanent hair reduction. Permanent laser hair removal using repetitive, low energy passes with an 810 nm diode — a split leg comparison study.
Materials, Methods and Results:
This study shows that low energy, high repetition diode laser pulses (i.e., high average power) with the SopranoXL with SHR mode results in comparable hair reduction to the traditional high fluence single pass method. This IN-Motion technique by the SopranoXL with SHR mode has several advantages over traditional high fluence treatments, including less pain and a lower chance of adverse effects, especially with dark skin.
