UltraLight II Nd:YAG Laser System K041011
The UltraLight II Nd: Y AG Laser System consists of a power supply unit with cooling, a footswitch and an umbilical cord that connects to the laser, which is located in the handpiece. In standard use, the handpiece is held against the treatment area dn the light pulse is delivered when the footswitch is depressed. Laser parameters and other system features are controlled from the display panel located on the front of the power supply unit.
At the 1064 nm wavelength - dark ink tattoo removal, removal of pigmented lesions and the removal or lightening of hair.
At the 532 nm wavelength - removal of red ink tattoos, treatment of vascular lesions including facial and leg veins, telangiectasis, angiomas, hemangiomas, port wine stains and most pigmented lesions (e.g. lentigines, ephildes)
None None
The UltraLight II Nd:YAG laser system is substantially equivalent to other existing Nd:YAG Laser Systems in commercial distribution for use in Dermatology and Plastic Surgery.
