FDA status & indications: Solta Fraxel Dual (re:store Dual) vs Sciton HALO
Attribute	Solta Fraxel Dual (re:store Dual)	Sciton HALO
FDA status & indication	FDA ClearedK130193, K062303 Read FDA indication wording “1550 nm: The Fraxel 1550 nm laser is indicated for use in dermatological procedures requiring the coagulation of soft tissue, as well as for skin resurfacing procedures. It is also indicated for treatment of dyschromia and cutaneous lesions, such as, but not limited to lentigos (age spots), solar lentigos (sun spots), actinic keratosis, and melasma, and for treatment of periorbital wrinkles, acne scars and surgical scars. 1927 nm: The Fraxel 1927 nm laser is indicated for use in dermatological procedures requiring the coagulation of soft tissue, treatment of actinic keratosis, and treatment of pigmented lesions such as, but not limited to lentigos (age spots), solar lentigos (sun spots) and ephelides (freckles).”	FDA status not verified Record scope: The two previously attached citations do not establish the original HALO 1470/2940 nm configuration: K180508 describes the 2940 nm ProFractional system, while K182173 describes a 1927 nm system. Sciton identifies HALO as a dual-wavelength JOULE treatment. The exact clearance-to-configuration link remains under review; this is not a finding that HALO lacks FDA clearance.
