What is the MiXto Fractional C02 Laser???

There is a lot of talk about the new MiXto SX Fractional C02 Laser, but we want you to know the truth. The truth is that we cannot find any reason not to buy or use the MiXto Laser. Many physicians prefer this device over the Fraxel Re:pair or Re:Store because of the results and the fact that it does not require consumables. There are still many devices that we would recommend but this device will definitely be hot for quite some time.

The MiXto SX laser is one of the world’s most advanced aesthetic lasers, using a patented scanning algorhtym and fractional CO2 laser technology to minimize patient discomfort, increase beam depth, and reduce investment and ownership costs for doctors. Fractional CO-2 lasers with scanners are the preferred laser technology for skin resurfacing and other cosmetic laser applications.

Where was it Created???

Created by Lasering based out of Moderna Italy, the MiXto SX laser utilizes fractional laser technology combined with a propietary scanner that maximizes time between adjacent pulses, which means that most procedures can be done without anesthesia.

The Lasering Mixto SX employs the gold-standard 10.6µm (CO-2) wavelength for skin rejuvenation procedures, and uses a proprietary algorithm to deliver a precise matrix of Microspots in Fractional mode that penetrates to the dermis and stimulates the formation of new collagen while simultaneously and immediately shrinking the damaged tissue. The patent pending Fractional laser technology produces a calculated tissue thermal relaxation time resulting in a faster healing process and with less pain.

The flexibility of Mixto SX delivers unrivaled results with an advanced method of Fractional Skin Resurfacing while at the same time offering the option to use conventional ablation methods.

Key Benefits

Immediate Tightening: Immediate contraction of collagen fibers reduces wrinkles and loose skin. Skin laxity is noticeably improved.

Textural Improvement: Removes pigmentation problems, reduces pore size, wrinkles, acne scars, and other textural irregularities. Effective on skin lesions, dyschromia (discoloration from sun damage and aging) and on actinic keratoses (pre-cancerous cells that may be invisible to the naked eye).

Down Time: The remarkable results the Mixto SX Fractional technique makes the healing process much quicker and enables patients to get back to their normal life style sooner.

In the March/April 2008 issue of Aesthetic Buyer’s Guide, Bob Kronmeyer wrote an article entitled “Lasering Offers Versatile Fractional Resurfacing Device” in which he interviewed Dr Daniel Cassuto about the laser. Below is a text excerpt of the article:

The SLIM MiXto SX is a new fractional skin resurfacing CO2 laser from Lasering S.r.l (Modena, Italy) that offers versatility, physician control and reduced patient discomfort. “This laser not only functions as a traditional CO2 resurfacing laser, but has fractional capability as well,” said Daniel Cassuto, M.D., a professor of plastic surgery at the University of Catania in Catania, Italy. “I normally don’t need to use any anesthesia when I perform fractional resurfacing in a mild-to-moderate intensity.”

The MiXto SX Fractional CO2 Laser was profiled in the October 2007 issue of Cutis, a monthly publication covering Cutaneous Medicine for General Practitioners.

The article said that, “The laser offers innovative fractional technology combined with a tighter focal point, thereby reducing heat buildup for less pain and quicker recovery time. A high-speed scanner divides the treatment area into 4 quadrants, which keeps the longest possible interval between 2 adjacent spots. With immediate contraction of collagen fibers, wrinkles and loose skin are reduced, leaving skin laxity noticeably improved. Mixto SX also removes pigmentation problems and reduces pore size, acne scars, and other textural irregularities. In addition, the laser is effective on discoloration from sun damage and aging and on precancerous cells that may be invisible to the naked eye. Anesthesia is not used in most cases, and patients can expect a short procedure time (up to 4-cm2 treatment area per scan). With the MiXto fractional laser technology, surgeons have infinite control, as they can carefully regulate the depth of penetration and the amount of heat delivered by the beam.”

An interesting article appearing in this month’s issue of Dematology Times covered, in detail, the history of the CO2 laser technology, and examined some future technologies, including the Lasering MiXto SX laser, which distributed in the Southeaster US by Cresent Laser Technologies. Below is an excerpt from the article:

“In the1990s, two new CO2 systems were developed to shorten the exposure time of the skin to this infrared light (the pulsed CO2 and the scanning spot CW CO2). Thegoal with any laser system is to avoid collateral damage when treatingthe target. This is done by keeping the exposure time to less than thethermal relaxation time of the target, preventing excessive spread ofheat to surrounding tissues. Exposure times less than or equal to onemillisecond have proven to be much safer with the CO2. The pulsed CO2 laser does just that. It delivers pulses of light of duration less than one millisecond. The high-energy short-pulsed systemuses a flash of energy that is short enough in duration to prevent heat from dissipating into surrounding tissue. The scannedcarbon dioxide laser system uses a computer-controlled mirror to rapidly scan an area in less time than is needed to expelheat into the bordering tissue. The scanning CO2 laser uses the continuous wave laser, but delivers spots with each exposure time less than one millisecond. Depth of tissueinjury is more controlled between 20 and 120 microns per pass. This reduces the potential for scarring.
