K233090 (El.En S.P.A., 2023)
The DEKA AGAIN PRO family is a medical laser family intended for: Alexandrite laser (755nm): - 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 1-VI) included tanned skin. - Treatment of benign pigmented lesions. - Treatment of dermatological vascular lesions (such as port-wine stains, hemangiomas, telangiectasias). Nd:YAG laser (1064nm): - Removal of unwanted hair for stable long term or permanent hair reduction and for treatment of PFB. The laser are indicated on all Skin Types Fitzapatrick 1-VI including tanned skin. - Photocoagulation and hemostasis of pigmented and 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 od soft tissue. - Benign pigmented lesions such as, but not limited to, lentigos, (age spots), solar lentigos (such spots), cafe au lait macules, seborrheic keratosis, nevi, cloasma, verrucae, skin tags, keratosis and plaques. - 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. - Reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars where vascularity is an integral part of the scar. - Treatment of wrinkles.

Overview
Ultra-fast in-motion diode (Cartessa)
How it worksTechnology and manufacturing
How the technology works
In-motion/SHR delivery fires rapid low-fluence pulses at high repetition while the operator glides, gradually heating follicles to the ~45-48C denaturation threshold rather than hammering single high-energy shots — less pain, less epidermal risk, safe across skin types year-round.
Integrated contact cooling protects throughout.
Patented technology
Simultaneous triple-wavelength diode emission and the in-motion protocol (an evolution of the Moveo concept) — a blended beam rather than separate diode bars firing sequentially.
Origin
Calenzano (Florence), Italy — DEKA M.E.L.A., El.En. Group.
