The MYTHOS diode laser system provides permanent hair removal using state-of-the-art, high power laser technology. The Mythos 500's semi-conductor diode lasers with extended pulse durations have gained increasing popularity for use on individuals with darker skin phenotypes (III-VI). Based on the most recent technological and clinical needs, MYTHOS comprises a state-of-the-art, continuous wave (CW), powerful (500W) semi-conductor diode laser (810nm). The MYTHOS system has incorporated significant refinements with respect to electrical engineering and biophysics that address the latest developments in hair-skin and light-skin interaction. While Msq was able to develop the most diverse, advanced diode laser, it remains user-friendly and highly convenient to operate. Furthermore, the MYTHOS Pulse (20-200 ms) and Long Pulse (40-400 ms) modes offer the clinician diverse clinical capabilities for treat different skin and hair phenotypes. The energy density per cm2 of the MYTHOS system may vary up to 120 J/cm2, more than twice that of other high power lasers on the market. The complete MYTHOS system consists of a cart, a console, a footswitch and a handpiece. Laser parameters and other system features are controlled from the control panel on the console, which provides a user-friendly intuitive interface with the system's operating system. The connector enables replacement of the laser handpiece when required. The tissue cooling system (TCS) is incorporated in the handpiece to reduce patient discomfort and protect the epidermis during contact with the beam. The TCS is automatically activated during system operation to ensure safety. The cold handpiece plate is cooled down to 1- 4?C and cools the treated area before, during and after lasing. The significant benefit of such parallel cooling is primarily in the Long Pulse mode. The two main MYTHOS parts - unit (20Kg) and cart (42Kg) - can be readily transported from room to room or from one location to another. The MYTHOS handpiece comes with an ergonomically-designed grip, a 12x10mm spot size, a high pulse repetition rate (0.2-3Hz) and sapphire contact cooling (1-4 ? C) for highly safe and effective coverage. If indicated, a parallel air cooling adaptor (Zimmer, Cryo 5) can be mounted on the handpiece to provide a hair removal procedure that is virtually pain-free, safe and most effective.
