For example, in the case of laser hair removal or the treatment of pigmented lesions, the targeted chromophore is melanin for vascular lesions, the target chromophore is hemoglobin. The Candela GentleMax Pro laser system delivers its therapeutic effect by causing maximum energy absorption of targeted chromophores in skin. The output energy is delivered to the skin through an optical fiber delivery system which may cool the surface of the skin through either cooling air or evaporated cryogen which provides additional protection to the surface of the skin from unwanted thermal injury. This unique laser system contains two separate laser heads, an Alexandrite and a Nd:YAG (Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) which, when pulsed, produce laser energy emitted at nominal wavelengths of 755 nm and 1064 nm, respectively. Meanwhile, the Dynamic Cooling Device protects the upper layers of the skin with a cooling burst of cryogen. The laser system does this by creating a beam of high intensity light that penetrates deep into the skin tissue where it delivers a controlled amount of therapeutic heat. The GentleMax Pro laser system treats all skin types quickly, comfortably, and effectively. The GentleMax Pro laser system is designed for the treatment of unwanted hair, pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, and wrinkles.

Most software companies built today leverage the SaaS business model. SaaS’ impact on a company’s business can be profound, and it is something that any savvy investor must be aware of. (4) Less upfront fees means it is easier for users to try the product. In turn, users receive continuous support for the product and pay less upfront costs. (3) This continuous payment aligns the incentives of the users and software makers: since software makers are receiving the revenue from sales on an on going basis, they are incentivized to continue to update and develop the product. (2) Users have to pay a subscription fee to access the software. This has several massive implications: (1) Since the software lives in the cloud, it can be updated in real time and is impossible to pirate. The software and data are hosted in the cloud, which is accessible via the internet browser. In the SaaS model, users do not even download the software (software is no longer stored in a local computer). Over time, this digital delivery method evolved into what we know today as Software as a Service (SaaS). This resolved a lot of the challenges that physical retail posed, but still, the sale process is transactional. Users paid upon download and installation on a local computer. With the advent of zero marginal cost internet distribution, software makers began to transition away from physical distribution to digital distribution. This meant that many softwares eventually were running with severe security holes that never got updated. Furthermore, developers often stopped updating old softwares as there was no monetary incentive to do so. This model made it difficult to patch security issues, fix bugs and add additional features. This meant that software was dependent on physical distribution, and that the sale process was transactional – users only paid once during the sale, and developers never knew when users would purchase the next iteration of the software. In the olden days, software was stored in physical media (CD/DVD), packaged in a box and delivered through retail. |
