Intended Use

DermaCool™ is intended for use with a laser or light source utilized for photo-coagulation of dermatological lesions and is a cooling device indicated for: 1. The reduction of pain, 2. Less discomfort, 3. Cooling of the skin prior, during and after laser or light treatment.

Device Story

DermaCool™ is a skin-cooling accessory for laser or light-based dermatological systems. The device utilizes a cooled sapphire window or lens that contacts the patient's skin. Operated by a clinician in a clinical setting, the device provides thermal regulation to the treatment site. By cooling the skin before, during, and after laser exposure, the device reduces patient pain and discomfort associated with dermatological procedures like hair removal or lesion photo-coagulation. The device is a passive cooling interface rather than an active electronic system.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Accessory to laser system; features a sapphire window/lens for skin contact cooling. Passive cooling mechanism. No electronic energy source or software components described.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing laser or light-based dermatological procedures (e.g., photo-coagulation of lesions, hair removal) to reduce pain and discomfort via skin cooling before, during, and after treatment.

Regulatory Classification
