It operates at 1064nm and 1440nm wavelengths. The device is activated via footswitch or finger switch by a clinician in a clinical setting. It delivers laser energy to target soft tissue for surgical applications (incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, coagulation, hemostasis) or dermatological treatments (hair reduction, lesion removal, wrinkle reduction). The system is a floor-standing unit weighing 285 lbs, requiring 220 VAC power. By targeting melanin in hair follicles or specific vascular/pigmented structures, the laser provides therapeutic effects for skin conditions and unwanted hair. Clinicians use the device to perform procedures that improve patient aesthetic appearance or treat dermatological pathologies. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Nd:YAG laser system; 1064nm and 1440nm wavelengths; Nd:YAG crystal rod medium; 220 VAC, 30A, 50-60 Hz power; footswitch/finger switch activation; dimensions 41"x18"x32"; weight 285 lbs. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Cynosure YAG Family laser ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
