FDA status & indication	FDA ClearedK181486, K211821 Read FDA indication wording “Alexandrite 755nm laser source: Temporary hair reduction. Stable long-term or permanent hair reduction through selective targeting of melanin in hair follicles. Permanent hair reduction is defined as the long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6,9, and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regime, on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I – VI) including tanned skin. Treatment of benign pigmented lesions. Treatment of wrinkles. Photocoagulation of benign dermatological vascular lesions (such as port-wine stains, hemangiomas, telangiectasias). Nd:YAG 1064nm laser source: Removal of unwanted hair, for stable long term or permanent hair reduction and for treatment of PFB . The lasers are indicated on all Skin Types Fitzpatrick I-VI including tanned skin. Photocoagulation and hemostasis of benign pigmented and benign vascular lesions, such as but not limited to port wine stains, hemangioma, warts, teleangiectasia, rosacea, venus lake, leg veins and spider veins. Coagulation and hemostasis of soft tissue. Benign pigmented lesions such as, but not limited to, lentigos, (age spots), solar lentigos (sun spots), cafe au lait macules, seborrheic keratosis, nevi, cloasma, verrucae, skin tags, keratosis and plaques. The laser is indicated for benign pigmented lesions to reduce lesion size, for patients with lesions that would potentially benefit from aggressive treatment, and for patients with lesions that have not responded to other laser treatments. The laser is also indicated for the reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars where vascularity is an integral part of the scar.
