Prisma sets a new standard in aesthetic technology by combining Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), Radio Frequency (RF), and Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) in one powerful platform.
This unique integration enables providers to treat multiple signs of aging more effectively while reducing overhead and improving workflow.
With no consumables, minimal discomfort, and proven results, Prisma is designed to elevate both patient outcomes and practice performance.
In the sections below, we’ll explain how each technology works, why their combination matters, and how Prisma delivers exceptional results for both patients and practices.
Prisma is a revolutionary advancement in aesthetic technology, uniquely combining three powerful modalities—Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), Radio Frequency (RF), and Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS)—in one platform.
Exclusively distributed in the U.S. by Cartessa Aesthetics, Prisma targets the primary signs of aging: pigmentation, laxity, and muscle tone. It delivers comprehensive, non-invasive skin revitalization at multiple skin depths within a single treatment, eliminating the need for multiple devices to achieve comparable results.
What makes Prisma exceptional is its integrated approach to addressing multiple dimensions of facial aging:
This multi-layered strategy helps ensure comprehensive results that exceed what a single technology could achieve independently, addressing the full spectrum of aging concerns from loss of muscle tone to skin laxity and surface discoloration.
Prisma's approach targets the skin and underlying structures at three levels, addressing the most common signs of aging:
At the deepest layer, Prisma's EMS technology works beneath the skin's surface to target facial musculature. This approach:
The EMS component delivers precise electrical impulses that cause muscle contractions, effectively "exercising" facial muscles to improve tone and definition.
Working just above the muscle layer, Prisma's RF technology delivers thermal energy directly to the dermis, where it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin—the essential building blocks of youthful skin. This targeted energy:
The RF component converts electrical energy into heat, creating a controlled thermal effect that remodels collagen and promotes tissue regeneration without damaging the epidermis.
At the surface level, Prisma's advanced IPL technology precisely targets pigmentation issues and vascular concerns with remarkable efficiency. This proven technology effectively addresses:
The IPL component delivers specific wavelengths of light to target chromophores in the skin, effectively reducing discoloration while promoting a more even, radiant complexion.

Patient comfort often impacts the success and popularity of any aesthetic treatment. Prisma excels in this crucial area with innovations specifically designed to enhance the treatment experience:
Patients will appreciate the elevated comfort of Prisma’s IPL treatments, thanks to its unique ability to adjust cooling levels for an optimal experience, setting it apart from leading competitors. Additionally, this adaptive cooling control also enables providers to treat problem areas more aggressively while minimizing the risk of adverse events, such as burns or overheating.
The result is a treatment that’s not only more comfortable, but also safer and more effective in targeting the desired tissues.
Prisma’s IPL handpieces are built for speed: The Verde fires in as little as 100 milliseconds—ideal for quick, targeted treatments. The Sol features continuous "In Motion" technology, enabling fast, even coverage over larger areas such as backs, legs, and arms. This eliminates the stop-and-start rhythm of traditional IPL sessions and reduces the chances of over- or under-treating any one area.
Prisma's versatility enables practitioners to tailor treatments to patients’ needs and concerns. It creates personalized protocols that address their unique combination of aging symptoms—from discoloration and texture concerns to laxity and muscle tone.
Beyond its clinical capabilities, Prisma offers compelling advantages from a business perspective:
Prisma treatments command premium pricing, and with no consumables required, profit margins are higher. The result? A faster, stronger return on investment driven by high-value services and minimal ongoing costs.
Single-device simplicity reduces both your equipment footprint and service contract expenses. It’s a powerhouse platform that eliminates the need for multiple systems and reduces your upfront capital investment.
The versatility of Prisma enables practices to offer a wider range of treatments from a single platform, appealing to a broader patient base and increasing the potential for both new patient acquisition and enhanced patient retention.
Prisma seamlessly integrates with most aesthetic practices' existing treatment offerings, enhancing results when combined with other modalities such as injectables, laser treatments, or other energy-based devices.
As aesthetic medicine continues to evolve, the industry is witnessing a growing demand for treatments that address multiple concerns simultaneously, delivering comprehensive results with minimal downtime and maximum comfort. Prisma stands at the forefront of this evolution, offering a truly integrated approach to facial rejuvenation that targets aging at every level—from muscle to skin surface.
By combining IPL, RF, and EMS technologies in one sophisticated platform, Prisma enables practitioners to deliver superior results while streamlining their practice operations and maximizing return on investment. This innovative system represents not just an advance in aesthetic technology but a transformation in how we approach comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
For practices seeking to differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive market, Prisma offers a compelling combination of clinical efficacy, patient satisfaction, and business efficiency—a full-spectrum approach to aesthetic excellence.
