Intense pulsed light is a resource that is based on the use of light for therapeutic purposes and is classified as high power, in which, when interacting with the tissue, it generates a phenomenon called selective photothermolysis (photo: light, term : heat; lysis: breakage; therefore, breaking of some target structure by the heat generated by the light; selective because it reaches a target structure, the chromophore, and the adjacent tissues remain intact), similar to what happens with a high-power laser, but They are different technologies that are similar because they are based on light and generate heat.

For selective photothermolysis to occur in the tissue, there must be chromophores or photoreceptors, which absorb light energy, with specific wavelengths (colors), which is converted into heat and destroys, necrotizes the specific target. This generates a subclinical inflammatory process in the tissue and reabsorption of cellular debris destroyed during the photothermolysis process occurs. The main chromophores in our tissues, when it comes to LIP, are melanin and hemoglobin.

Intense pulsed light emits different wavelengths (colors), between 400 nm and 1200 nm, that is, all colors in the visible spectrum (violet, blue, green, yellow, amber, red) and near infrared, which is why we see a white light during its emission. Furthermore, its light beams, unlike the laser, are incoherent and non-collimated, that is, they spread out in the middle, which is why we see a flash. Unlike the laser, which has only one color (monochromatic) and is collimated, coherent and unidirectional.

Because it has different wavelengths, LIP reaches different chromophores at the same time, a characteristic that makes it suitable for various treatments such as acne, telangiectasias, hyperchromia, photorejuvenation, photoepilation. The number of sessions depends on the objective, phototype and individual response.

O Lyra é um equipamento microcontrolado por luz intensa pulsada para utilização em tratamentos estéticos. Ele possibilita comutação de 3 filtros de corte seletivos com comprimentos de onda de 480nm, 530nm e 640nm, os quais permitem a escolha do devido espectro de radiação luminosa para cada tratamento.

O Lyra também possui: uma ponteira com spot de 7,5cm², assegurando maior versatilidade aos tratamentos; um sistema de crioproteção (água e peltier), que torna o tratamento mais seguro e confortável; lâmpada com tempo de vida útil de 1,5 milhões de disparos, que permite melhor desempenho linear e funcional; design moderno com controle através de tela touchscreen; tutorial informativo e protocolos.

O equipamento deve ser usado somente sob prescrição e supervisão de um profissional licenciado.

Filtros de Corte

Com a ajuda de filtros, é possível selecionar comprimentos de onda de acordo com a profundidade da estrutura que se pretende atingir. O espectro de emissão de LIP varia de 450 a 1200nm e, por exemplo: quando se utiliza o filtro de 640nm, só ocorre emissão no espectro de 640 a 1200nm, bloqueando a emissão dos comprimentos mais curtos.

O Lyra oferece uma peça de mão com a possibilidade de comutação de 3 filtros de corte seletivos, com comprimentos de onda de 480nm, 530nm e 640nm, os quais permitem a escolha do espectro de radiação luminosa mais adequado para cada tratamento. As indicações são:

Remoção de pelos: o filtro varia de 640nm ou 690nm a 1200nm;

Telangiectasias: o filtro varia de 530nm a 1200nm;

Rejuvenescimento: o filtro varia de 480nm a 1200nm;

Manchas de pele: o filtro varia de 480nm a 1200nm.

The basic principle is the absorption of photons by endogenous or exogenous chromophores within the skin and the transfer of energy to these chromophores. This transfer generates heat that subsequently destroys the target structure.

Light absorption is not linked to light coherence, the so-called photobiological reaction occurs independently of the heating source. Furthermore, human skin chromophores (hemoglobin, melanin and water) show broad absorption spectra, thus monochromaticity is not a requirement for photothermolysis. Because LIP devices emit a spectrum of wavelengths, all three chromophores can be activated with a single exposure to light. This versatility implies a reduction in selectivity. The type and condition of the patient’s skin determines the choice of appropriate cut-off filters and, consequently, the spectrum of wavelengths to be emitted.

Precautions

* Avoid sun exposure to treated areas for at least 5 days after application;

* The daily use of an FP60 sunscreen and a medical evaluation prior to carrying out LIP treatments are strongly recommended in cases where the patient presents any skin pathology;

* Do not subject patients to LIP therapy if they are being treated with antibiotics, are taking vitamin A and/or K supplements, or another melanin-stimulating substance;

* In hair removal treatments, the use of other hair removal practices should be avoided in the two weeks before and two weeks after the application of IPL. Just shave the hair;

* High phototype skin (dark or very tanned) requires greater attention regarding the prescription of the dosage for applying IPL;

* Immediately after application, slight erythema and/or transient edema may occur, which disappears within 3 hours after application. The use of soothing lotions and/or cold compresses on the treated areas can minimize this effect;

* Rarely, more intense erythemas may appear and disappear between 2 and 7 days after application, without the need for additional treatments. However, if desired, the use of products such as: tranquilizers, gels, creams or specific ointments can speed up the recovery process;

* All treated areas must be cleaned with neutral soap and water.

Adverse Reactions

There are no significant records of more serious adverse reactions (transient or permanent) resulting from the use of LIP therapy, as long as the application dosages are appropriate for the patient. However, the following may occur:

* Transient hyperpigmentation (resolves without adjuvant treatments within a maximum of 6 months after application);

* Dyschromias;

* Pruritus;

* Burns;

* Local erythema or edema (from 30 minutes to 72 hours);

* Purple.

Preventions

* Transient hyperpigmentation (resolves without adjuvant treatments within a maximum of 6 months after application);
* Dyschromias;
* Pruritus;
* Burns;
* Local erythema or edema (from 30 minutes to 72 hours);
* Purple.

• Pregnant women or intending to become pregnant;

• Patients who are undergoing natural or artificial tanning processes up to 4 weeks before treatment;

• In areas with suspicious spots or that contain potentially cancerous tissue;

• Place of tattoo or permanent makeup treatment;

• Point directly at the eyes;

• Targeted application or on the eyes;

• Implanted electronic device (e.g. cardiac pacemaker, deep brain stimulation device, etc.);

• Patient with photosensitive epilepsy;

• Concomitant use of photosensitizing medications;

• Patients who are particularly sensitive to solar radiation or illnesses related to photosensitivity (e.g. porphyria, polymorphic light rash, solar urticaria, lupus or other autoimmune diseases);

• Patients with scarring deficit due to Diabetes mellitus or other pathologies.

How to assess skin phototype for Lyra application?

To assess the patient’s skin type, use the Fitzpatrick classification. Consider whether the patient has a darkened scar in the area of ​​a wound or has a history of keloids.

What is the interval between sessions and number of sessions for treatments?

Our suggested interval and number of sessions is: area, interval and number.

What factors can influence LIP treatment?

Tanning, skin temperature, blood perfusion, density of sebaceous glands, presence of hair follicle and skin firmness are the factors that can influence treatment with LIP.

How do I fill the water tank?

Remove both plugs from the supply connectors. Then, connect the hoses to the water inlet (Water Supply) and the water outlet (Water Vent).

How to carry out the Lyra application pre-test?

Select a discreet area with a skin tone (phototype) similar to the area to be treated, program the equipment and apply 1 or 2 shots to the area. Observe the reaction immediately after 10 to 15 minutes.
