The LUMENIS 640nm IPL Filter is a specialized optical component for Lumenis platforms like M22 and Stellar, transmitting light from 640nm to 1200nm for precise tissue targeting. It is highly effective for hair removal on Fitzpatrick III-VI skin types, pigmented lesion reduction, and vascular treatments. Integrated cooling ensures safety and comfort, while ALLWILL provides reliable sourcing and refurbishment options for clinics seeking high performance and efficiency.

What Does LUMENIS 640nm IPL Filter Do?

The LUMENIS 640nm IPL Filter selectively transmits longer wavelengths to reach deeper skin layers, optimizing energy delivery for hair follicles, pigmented lesions, and superficial vessels. By filtering shorter wavelengths, it reduces epidermal absorption, minimizing discomfort and the risk of burns.

Clinics use this filter for its versatility across multiple procedures. ALLWILL emphasizes that precise wavelength control enhances efficiency in busy practices and maintains consistent clinical outcomes. Compatible with M22 and Stellar handpieces, fluences up to 45 J/cm², and spot sizes like 8x34mm, it pairs with SapphireCool™ technology to improve patient safety. Its ability to support multiple revenue-generating procedures makes it a valuable asset in medical aesthetics.

How Does LUMENIS 640nm IPL Filter Work?

The filter blocks wavelengths below 640nm, allowing deeper penetration to target melanin in hair follicles and hemoglobin in vessels. Sequential pulsing delivers controlled energy, while SapphireCool™ cooling protects the epidermis.

Lumenis platforms use Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT) for uniform energy distribution, preventing hot spots and ensuring effective, comfortable treatments. Fluences and pulse durations are adjusted according to skin type to achieve precise photothermolysis. ALLWILL’s Smart Center tests each filter for wavelength accuracy and pulse integrity during refurbishment, extending device lifespan and ROI.

What Are Primary Uses of LUMENIS 640nm IPL Filter?

It is primarily used for hair removal in Fitzpatrick III-VI, reduction of pigmented lesions, and treatment of superficial vascular issues. Typical protocols involve 4-6 sessions.

For darker skin tones, this filter reduces the risk of burns from shorter wavelengths, effectively fading sun spots, unwanted hair, and telangiectasia with minimal downtime. ALLWILL provides access to certified refurbished units through Lasermatch, offering cost-efficient solutions without compromising OEM standards.

515nm Pigmentation I-II Shallow

Which Skin Types Suit LUMENIS 640nm IPL Filter?

Ideal for Fitzpatrick III-VI, the 640nm filter safely targets medium to darker skin tones by avoiding absorption by epidermal melanin. Lighter skin types may require lower fluences.

Longer wavelengths focus energy on hair follicles or vessels while minimizing epidermal heating. ALLWILL recommends test spots and protocol guidance through their MET platform, connecting clinics to trained specialists for safe and effective application.

Why Choose 640nm Over Other IPL Filters?

The 640nm filter penetrates deeper than 515nm or 560nm, targeting thicker hair and superficial vessels while remaining safer for darker skin. Its broader wavelength range allows multi-indication treatments, improving device versatility and ROI.

Shorter filters work effectively only in shallow tissue, increasing burn risk in types IV-VI. By contrast, 640nm delivers uniform energy to dermal targets, stimulates mild collagen production, and supports multiple procedures from one handpiece. ALLWILL trade-up programs make adopting this filter cost-effective.

How to Use LUMENIS 640nm IPL Filter Safely?

Apply cooling gel, start with 15-25 J/cm² fluences, use sequential pulses (3-5ms with 20ms delay), and monitor perifollicular erythema. SapphireCool™ maintains skin at 5-10°C.

Patch tests 24-48 hours prior are recommended, especially for darker skin. Avoid sun exposure and use SPF 50+ post-treatment. Contraindications include active infections, isotretinoin therapy, and tattoos in treatment area. ALLWILL refurbishment ensures cooling system reliability and warranty coverage for safe operation.

What Results Expect from LUMENIS 640nm IPL Filter?

Patients can expect 70-90% hair reduction over 4-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Pigment lesions typically fade 50-80% in 3-5 treatments, and superficial vessels clear 60-85%. Mild redness may last 1-2 days.

Treatment outcomes vary by hair coarseness, lesion depth, and adherence to protocols. Combining IPL with ResurFX enhances photorejuvenation. ALLWILL’s refurbished systems achieve performance comparable to new devices, ensuring high client satisfaction.

Can LUMENIS 640nm IPL Filter Integrate with Other Modalities?

Yes. It pairs with ResurFX for combined pigment and vascular treatment plus resurfacing and complements Nd:YAG lasers for deeper vessel management.

Sequential use—IPL followed by fractional resurfacing—reduces total sessions by 20-30%. ALLWILL’s MET platform offers cross-training to optimize multi-modality workflows for clinics.
