Slim Evolution II CO2 laser system enhanced with MiXto Pro scanner technology is the most fully developed platform available on the market for skin resurfacing, wrinkle and scar reduction. Lasering was the first company in the world to apply the fractional concept to a CO2 laser system with microspots non-sequentially distributed over the tissue following a “Z” algorithm-based scan pattern. MiXto Pro is a unique patented system that functions using CHOPPED CW emission guaranteeing uniform energy distribution across tissue delivering greater heat to the dermis over traditional short pulsed CO2 laser systems. MiXto Pro allows the operator to work in the widest operating range that varies from soft ablation (toning/tightening) to hard ablation (conventional skin resurfacing) going through countless intermediate steps so that all the patients needs and expectations can be satisfied. Slim Evolution II is a very versatile system with a complete range of accessories for use in numerous fields of surgery.

Proprietary Algorithm

The MiXto Pro utilizes a proprietary algorithm producing a unique “Z” scan pattern which provides the longest amount of time possible between adjacent spots while filling in a given square area of skin. This patented pattern allows maximum intra-operative cooling of surrounding tissue lowering risk of side effects while maximizing patient comfort. The MiXto Pro is thus able to deposit more heat into tissue than competing technology yet allow practitioners to safely treat all skin types I – VI.

Advantages

Best compromise between quality of result and length of downtime
Greater collagen stimulation
Shorter treatment time
Lowest risk of side effects
Maximum patient comfort during treatment
Simplified post-care

Mixto C02 Q & A

1. What is MiXto Pro Micro Fractional CO2?

CO2 is a carbon dioxide laser that has been used for more than 25 years in the aesthetic industry for treatment of conditions such as fine and deep wrinkles, scars of various origin, uneven pigmentation and dilated pores. When the Co2 beam of light comes in contact with the epidermis it heats and vaporizes the skin tissue, instantly removing the superficial layers of the skin, scars and wrinkles while smoothing out the surface of the skin. The skin remodeling occurs with new skin and collagen growth. MiXto stands for the mixture between Co2 energy and fractional resurfacing, and the Sx stands for surgical, because the laser can also be used to make a very clean incision without bleeding.

2. How Does it work?

The MiXto Pro give the physician more control to regulate the depth of penetration and the amount of heat delivered by the beam. The high-speed scanner, driven by a patent-pending algorithm divides the treatment area into each strike is separated by the longest possible interval. This process is repeated until the entire area is treated. Dividing energy this way allows maximum time for thermal cooling of the tissue, less pain for the patient and faster recovery! Compared to tradition resurfacing of the past this is a big step in technology for both the patient and the physician.

3. How is this different than other laser treatments?

The MiXto delivers more results in a 30-minute treatment than competitors can accomplish in 3 treatments with less discomfort, downtime and cost.

4. How long is recovery?

Typical downtime is 6-7 days. (see pictures below of one of our patients before Mixto and after 1 week and at 4 weeks)

Most patients are ready to go back to work the next day depending on their job as long as post procedure soaks and care are done every few hours for the first 3-4 days. Typical downtime is 6-7 days.

5. When do you see the results?

Right away! When we are doing the procedure, you can immediately see the skin contract and shrink. The patient will really see the benefits by the time the skin is completely peeled (5-7 days post treatment) and will continue to see results for up to six months with new collagen regeneration that “plumps” up the skin.
