Intended Use
1064 nm: The Cynosure YAG Family laser is intended for the coagulation and hemostasis of bonion vascular lesions such as, but not limited to, port winc stains, hemangiomas, warts, telangiectasia, rosacea, venus lake, leg veins, spider veins and poikiloderma of civatte; and treatment of benign cutaneous lesions such as warts, scars, stiae and psoriasis. The laser is also intended for the treatment of bonign pigmented lesions such as, but not limited to, lentigos (age spots), solar lentigos (sun spots), café' au lait macules, sebortheic keratoses, nevi, chloasma, verrucea, skin tags, keratoses, tattoos (significant reduction in the intensity of black and/or black tattoos) and plaques. The laser is also indicated for the treatment of wrinkles such as, but not limited to, periocular and perioral wrinkles. Additionally, the laser is indicated for the removal of unwanted hair, for the stable long term, or permanent, hair reduction through selective targeting of melanin in hair follicles, and for the treatment of pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB). 1320 nm The Cynosure YAG Family laser is indicated for use in general surgery and dermatology for the incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, coagulation and hemostasis of soft tissue. It is also indicated for the treatment of perioral wrinkles. It is also indicated for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles.
Device Story
Cynosure YAG Family Laser (PhotoGenica YAG and Acclaim) is a Nd:YAG laser system; utilizes Nd:YAG crystal rod as lasing medium. Operates at 1,064 nm and 1,320 nm wavelengths. Activated via foot or finger switch. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals for dermatological and general surgical procedures. Laser energy targets melanin in hair follicles, vascular lesions, or soft tissue depending on wavelength. Output facilitates coagulation, hemostasis, ablation, or vaporization of tissue. Device provides clinical benefit through permanent hair reduction, lesion treatment, and wrinkle reduction.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Nd:YAG laser system; wavelengths 1,064 nm and 1,320 nm. Dimensions: 112x48x71 cm; weight: 81 kg. Power: 220 VAC, 30A, 50-60 Hz. Activation via foot or finger switch.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring dermatological or general surgical procedures including hair reduction, treatment of vascular/pigmented lesions, benign cutaneous lesions, scars, psoriasis, tattoos, and wrinkles. 1064 nm wavelength targets melanin and vascular structures; 1320 nm wavelength used for soft tissue incision, excision, ablation, and coagulation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
(1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
