K151655 (Syneron Medical, Ltd., 2015)
The CO2RE is indicated for use in surgical applications requiring the ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue in medical specialties including: aesthetic surgery (dermatology and plastic surgery), podiatry, gynecology, neurosurgery, orthopedics (soft tissue), arthroscopy (knee). The CO2RE is indicated for dermatological procedures requiring ablation, coagulation and resurfacing of soft tissue, including skin. The Standard Handpiece of the CO2RE System is indicated for the following: Dermatology & Plastic Surgery The ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue in dermatology and plastic surgery in the performance of: x laser skin resurfacing x laser dermabrasion x laser burn debridement. Laser skin resurfacing (ablation and/or vaporization) for the treatment of: x wrinkles, rhytids, and furrows (including fines lines and texture irregularities) Clinical literature demonstrates that skin resurfacing of wrinkles, rhytids, and furrows with CO2 laser increases the amount of sub-epidermal collagen.

Overview
Simultaneous superficial+deep modes; Intima GYN variant
How it worksTechnology and manufacturing
How the technology works
A 10,600nm fractional CO2; energy absorbed by tissue water ablates microscopic columns and coagulates surrounding dermis, driving collagen remodeling and tightening.
Modes — Light, Mid, Deep, Fusion — control ablation depth and density: fine lines, wrinkles, photodamage, texture, acne scars, benign lesions; a surgical handpiece supports excisional/ablative derm procedures. Fusion combines superficial and deep injury patterns in one pass.
Downtime scales from 2-3 days (Light) to 7-10 days (Deep/Fusion full-face).
Patented technology
The dual-ring scanning architecture: the scanner splits energy between the core and ring of each scan spot, allowing simultaneous treatment at two depths/intensities — the mechanism behind Fusion mode and a genuine workflow advantage. Everything else is competent conventional fractional CO2 engineering.
Origin
Developed by Syneron Medical, Yokneam, Israel; manufactured in Israel, sold/serviced by Candela (Marlborough, MA).
