Intended Use
For use in dermatology for incision, excision, ablation and vaporization with hemostasis of soft tissue. For use in the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles. For treatment of back acne and atrophic acne scars. For treatment of reflux of the great and small saphenous veins associated with varicose veins and varicosities. For laser-assisted lipolysis.
Device Story
The CoolTouch LC225/CoolLipo is an Nd:YAG surgical laser system emitting at 1320nm. It comprises a cabinet housing a power supply, cooling system, microcontroller, and laser source, connected to fiber optics and a handpiece or JouleTracker. Operated by physicians in clinical settings, the device delivers laser energy to target tissues. The system provides hemostasis during soft tissue procedures and is used for dermatological treatments, vein reflux, and lipolysis. The microcontroller manages laser output parameters. Clinical benefit is derived from precise tissue interaction for surgical and aesthetic applications.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Nd:YAG surgical laser; 1320nm wavelength; includes power supply, cooling system, microcontroller, fiber optics, and handpiece/JouleTracker. Class II device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring soft tissue incision, excision, ablation, or vaporization with hemostasis; treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, back acne, atrophic acne scars, varicose veins/varicosities (saphenous vein reflux), and laser-assisted lipolysis.
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.

Dear Ms. Vollrath:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
