Per-Arne Torstensson
Per-Arne is a physicist with a long history in lasers and their application, both in scientific and medical fields. He was one of the original scientists in the development of IPL technology and helped to launch one of the world’s first multi-functional device in the late 1990s, the PhotoNova PLS3 system.
Unlike most laser/IPL manufacturers, PA’s approach was to identify the problem and then work out the best set of parameters which were required to tackle it. Most companies produce a machine then look for an application! Or they copy someone else’s device.
PA spent over 20 years developing their IPL and laser technology, which was sold across the world. He also designed the world’s first IPL meter capable of accurately measuring both the fluence and pulsewidth. In addition, he developed a skin-colour measuring device using three output wavelengths.
Like Mike, PA has spent more than 20 years training laser/IPL users in the application of the removal of hair, blood vessels, benign pigmentation, acne and other conditions. He also works on newer technologies including IR and LED devices.
PA is based in Gothenburg, Sweden.
