Like its kin, the\u00a0EpiCare-YAG\u2122 provides a highly sophisticated, powerful laser system that has unsurpassed capability and is\u00a0versatile and feature rich, yet easy to use. It operates in either of two modes: a standard (3 \u2013 300 ms pulse\u00a0duration) mode for treating larger areas (up to 40 mm) and a special, high fluence mode \u2013 providing fluences\u00a0up to 2500 J\/cm^2 with pulse durations as short as 0.5 ms, ideal for treating most common lesions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The\u00a0EpiCare-YAG\u2122 provides all the capabilities that are popular with the EpiCare lasers, including: high average\u00a0power, variable pulse duration, large spot sizes, extremely uniform spot profiles, user-friendly operation with\u00a0predictive maintenance and sophisticated diagnostic features, and the world\u2019s only 21st Century user interface\u00a0including the internet-savvy SmartScreen\u2122 guidance and management system. As with the LPX and DUO\u00a0systems, the EpiCare-YAG\u2122 is the fastest systems at its wavelength, and provides the lowest cost per\u00a0treatment, helping to reduce the cost-of-care.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe EpiCare-YAG\u2122 follows the success of the LP, LPX at 755nm and the Duo at both 755nm and 1064nm,\u00a0by providing another option to our customers who want the speed and sophistication of an EpiCare laser but\u00a0feel they only need the 1064 nm wavelength,\u201d says Dr. Donald Heller, CEO of Light Age Inc. \u201cThis follows\u00a0Light Age\u2019s policy of providing extra value and performance to our customers without trying to legislate how\u00a0they might best use the extra capability provided. While providing the lowest treatment costs, these laser\u00a0systems are intended to be the very best available, at any price.\u201d\u00a0\u201cBy developing the EpiCare-YAG\u2122, Light Age can provide the popular EpiCare\u2122 line in all of the most\u00a0popular wavelength formats.
