Intended Use

The Profile BBL (and the light and/or laser delivery accessories) is indicated for use in surgical, aesthetic and cosmetic applications requiring selective photothermolysis (photocoagulation or coagulation) and hemostasis of soft tissue in the medical specialties of general and plastic surgery and dermatology. It is intended for use for: • The treatment of tattoos; • The treatment of benign pigmented lesions including dyschromia, hyperpigmentation, melasma, ephelides (freckles); • The treatment of cutaneous lesions including warts, scars and striae; • The treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesions, including port wine stains, hemangiomas, facial, truncal and leg telangiectasias, rosacea, erythema of rosacea, engiomas and spider angiomas, poikiloderma of Civatte, leg veins and venous malformations; • Treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis (eczema), seborrheic dermatitis; and • The removal of unwanted hair from all skin types, and to effect stable long-term, or permanent, hair reduction. The integral thermo-electric cooler is indicated for use in cooling the epidermis at the treatment site prior to, during and after light or laser treatment in general surgery, plastic surgery and dermatology to: • Reduce pain during and/or associated with light or laser treatment (via partial anesthesia from cooling); • Reduce discomfort during and/or associated with light or laser treatment; • Minimize thermal injury, including thermal necrosis, to non-target skin and skin structures during and/or associated with light or laser treatment, thus reducing possible complications such as scabbing, scarring, hyper- and/or hypopigmentation; • Allow the use of higher light or laser fluences for light or laser treatments (such as for hair removal and the treatment of vascular or pigmented lesions); and • Reduce potential side effects of light or laser treatments (such as for hair removal and the treatment of vascular or pigmented lesions).

Device Story

Profile BBL System emits intense wide-spectrum light (500-1400 nm) for selective photothermolysis and hemostasis. System comprises console, internal computer, control panel, and treatment head with integrated thermo-electric cooling. Operated by clinicians in medical settings. Cooling mechanism applied to epidermis before, during, and after treatment to provide partial anesthesia, reduce discomfort, minimize thermal injury to non-target structures, and enable higher fluence usage. Output allows clinicians to treat vascular/pigmented lesions, remove hair, and manage various dermatological conditions. Benefits include reduced side effects and improved patient comfort during procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and indications for use comparable to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

System emits 500-1400 nm wide-spectrum light. Features include internal computer, control panel, and treatment head with integrated thermo-electric cooling. Device is a laser surgical instrument (21 CFR 878.4810).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring selective photothermolysis and hemostasis of soft tissue in general surgery, plastic surgery, and dermatology. Applications include tattoo removal, benign pigmented/vascular lesions, cutaneous lesions (warts, scars, striae), dermatological conditions (psoriasis, vitiligo, dermatitis), and hair reduction for all skin types.

Regulatory Classification

Identification
