VADER® Laser System (Laser Hair Reduction)
VADER® uses the pressure of light and the joule effect to effect hair vaporization—instead of relying on color-dependent absorption like most legacy lasers.
What makes VADER® different?
- Legacy lasers often depend on hair color absorption to transfer energy
- VADER® uses hair density and subsequent energy resistance to transfer energy to the target hair using the joule effect
Benefits for clients and providers:
- Faster laser hair reduction treatments (less time)
- Less painful treatments (more comfortable)
- Twice as much hair reduced per procedure (fewer treatments)
- No dependency on hair color (6X the market size)
- Designed to serve nearly all people (bigger market reach than legacy systems)
- 2X the number of clients that can be treated per hour, based on machine efficiency
- Bigger earnings, more satisfied clients, lead the Medical Esthetics market with your skills and equipment!
VADER® Laser System (collagen synthesis)
VADER® Technology is the most efficient system at creating collagen synthesis. VADER uses pressure from the laser beam to fracture collagen to cause collagen synthesis.
- 100% increase in collagen synthesis in most first treatments
- 200% increase in collagen synthesis using the 14-day treatment cycle.
- Excess demand, stress, will cause repair of the fibroblast skin repair system
- Rapid increases in collagen density in the papillary dermis
- True mechanical anti-aging treatment
- Scar reduction through collagen breakdown during treatment
- Major anti-aging benefits
- Major UV damage benefits
- Well proven collagen synthesis treatment, approximately 10,000 treatments are being performed monthly (August 2026)
Artisan DO® (Dermal Optimizer) — Skin Reduction
Artisan DO® is built to mimic the natural energy produced in living cells—creating a harmonic energy relationship designed to support:
- easier skin entry by the treatment energy
- reduced surface heating and thermal injury risk
- strong absorption into collagen
- greater treatment efficiency
Expected results: typically, around 7% skin area reduction
Common applications include:
- lip enhancement
- neck skin tightening
- upper arm tightening
- female breast lifts
- male gynecomastia reductions
- Skin pore size reduction
Tri-Pulse® (Tattoo Reduction)
Tri-Pulse® is known for being fast and efficient for tattoo reduction procedures—ideal for high-performance outcomes and training mastery.
- 30-50% Tattoo density reduction per treatment
- All colors can be treated
- Fast treatment reducing discomfort during the treatment
- Paired with cold air flow devices and vacuum devices for comfort and efficiency
- No medication should be needed for the client’s tolerance
BUBBL® (IPL / Broadband Light)
BUBBL® is an uncommonly efficient Intense Pulsed Light / Broadband Light device—supporting advanced learning for the next generation of providers.
- Two hand pieces provide a built-in backup
- Magnetic optical filters for greater efficiency and service life
- Stackable optical filters for more specific effects
- 1,000,000 impulses expected before a flashlamp change is needed for lower maintenance expenses, lower cost of use
- More reliable, stable, and predictable energy output than legacy IPL/BBL devices
