Description

The Lumenis 695nm IPL Filter is a premium, interchangeable wavelength-specific component engineered for the Lumenis One and M22 universal handpieces. Designed for aesthetic professionals who demand precision, this filter utilizes a long-pass 695nm spectrum to reach deeper dermal layers while bypassing the most superficial melanin.

Equipped with proprietary Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT™), the 695nm filter provides a flat-top pulse delivery, ensuring uniform energy distribution across every millisecond of the treatment. This consistency eliminates energy spikes that cause patient discomfort, allowing practitioners to use higher fluences (up to 40 J/cm²) safely and effectively for advanced skin concerns.


Core Technology: Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT)

Unlike standard IPL systems that deliver “front-loaded” energy peaks, the Lumenis system with the 695nm filter employs OPT. This technology allows the user to control the pulse shape, providing a consistent power flow.

  • Precision Targeting: Delivers energy exactly to the intended chromophore (melanin or hemoglobin).

  • Enhanced Safety: Reduces the risk of epidermal burning by maintaining a steady discharge.

  • Interchangeable Design: The “ExpertFilter” system allows for sub-3-second swaps, turning a single handpiece into a multi-application tool.

Mechanism of Action

The 695nm wavelength sits in a “sweet spot” of the electromagnetic spectrum. At this length, the light penetrates deep into the reticular dermis. It primarily targets melanin in the hair follicle and hemoglobin in deeper vascular structures. By utilizing the principle of selective photothermolysis, the filter converts light into heat within the target tissue, triggering a natural healing response that stimulates neocollagenesis (new collagen production) and disrupts unwanted pigment or vessel walls.


Clinical Applications

The 695nm filter is a versatile workhorse for medical spas and dermatology clinics, specifically excelling in:

  • Hair Removal: Optimized for permanent hair reduction on Fitzpatrick skin types I–III.

  • Vascular Lesions: Effective treatment for deeper-seated telangiectasia, leg veins, and cherry angiomas.

  • Skin Rejuvenation: Addresses the visible signs of photoaging, including solar lentigines and fine lines.

  • Dermal Remodeling: Non-ablative tightening by heating the deep dermis to promote long-term elasticity.


Key Advantages for Practitioners

  • Integrated SapphireCool™: The filter works in tandem with the handpiece’s sapphire tip to provide continuous contact cooling. This protects the epidermis and allows for higher energy settings without increasing pain.

  • Spot Size Versatility: Compatible with multiple light guides, including the standard 15x35mm for rapid body treatments and the 8x15mm for precise facial or vascular work.

  • Maximized ROI: By simply adding this filter to an existing Lumenis One platform, clinics can expand their service menu without purchasing a completely new handpiece or console.


The Treatment Process

  1. Consultation & Calibration: The practitioner selects the 695nm filter based on the patient’s skin type and clinical goals.

  2. Preparation: The filter is slid into the universal handpiece. Parameters (Fluence, Pulse Duration) are set on the Lumenis interface.

  3. Application: A thin layer of coupling gel is applied. The SapphireCool tip is placed against the skin.

  4. Pulse Delivery: The system delivers controlled OPT pulses. The patient typically feels a mild “snapping” sensation, mitigated by the cooling tip.

  5. Post-Treatment: The filter is removed and sanitized, and the patient is advised on sun protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which skin types are best suited for the 695nm IPL filter?

The 695nm wavelength is ideal for patients with Fitzpatrick Skin Types I through III. Because it penetrates deeper than the 515nm or 560nm filters, it is safer for slightly darker or tanned skin within those ranges, as it bypasses a portion of the superficial epidermal melanin.

How does the 695nm filter assist in hair removal?

The 695nm wavelength is highly absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft and bulb. By delivering high energy (up to 40 J/cm²) with a deep-reaching wavelength, it effectively destroys the follicle’s growth center, making it a preferred choice for permanent hair reduction on the legs and back.

What is the benefit of the SapphireCool technology in this filter?

SapphireCool is an integrated contact cooling mechanism that keeps the skin’s surface at a constant, chilled temperature during the light pulse. This significantly enhances patient comfort, reduces the risk of thermal injury to the skin, and allows the practitioner to use higher, more effective energy fluences safely.

Can the 695nm filter be used for vascular treatments?

Yes, it is specifically indicated for vascular lesions that reside deeper in the dermis, such as leg veins and larger angiomas. The 695nm light reaches these deeper vessels more effectively than shorter wavelengths, causing the vessel walls to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body.

How long does it take to switch to the 695nm filter during a session?

The Lumenis ExpertFilter system is designed for “plug-and-play” efficiency. Switching from a different wavelength filter to the 695nm filter takes less than three seconds. The system automatically recognizes the filter and adjusts the software interface, allowing for seamless multi-pass treatments for different skin conditions.

Does the 695nm filter help with anti-aging and wrinkles?

Absolutely. The 695nm filter is widely used for deep dermal remodeling. By heating the water in the dermis and stimulating fibroblasts, it triggers the production of new collagen and elastin. Over a series of treatments, this results in improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and increased skin firmness.
