## Intended Use

The Cheveux Diode Laser System is intended to be used for Hair Removal, Permanent hair reduction, Treatment for pseudofolliculitis barbae, Treatment of vascular lesions, Treatment of benign pigmented lesions, and Treatment of Leg Veins.

## Device Story

The Cheveux Diode Laser System is a surgical laser device used in dermatology and plastic surgery. It consists of a console and a handpiece connected via an umbilical. The system delivers 810 nm wavelength laser light to the target tissue. Energy output is initiated by the operator via a trigger on the handpiece. The device is used by clinicians to perform hair removal, permanent hair reduction, and the treatment of vascular lesions, benign pigmented lesions, leg veins, and pseudofolliculitis barbae. By delivering controlled laser energy, the device targets specific skin and hair structures to achieve the intended therapeutic effects.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and intended use compared to the predicate device.

## Technological Characteristics

Diode laser system; 810 nm wavelength; console and handpiece configuration; umbilical connection; trigger-actuated energy delivery.

## 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.

Dear Mr. Rohrer:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21
