*Permanent hair reduction is defined as a long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing after a treatment regimen.

The treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris

The treatment of benign pigmented epidermal lesions including dyschromia, hyperpigmentation, melasma, ephelides (freckles)

The treatment of cutaneous lesions including warts, scars, and striae.

The treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesions, including port wine stains, hemangiomas, facial, truncal and leg telangiectasias, erythema of rosacea, angiomas, and spider angiomas, poikiloderma of civatte, leg veins and venous malformations.

The integrated thermal cooling is indicated for use in cooling the epidermis at the treatment site prior to, during, and after light treatment in general aesthetic dermatologic and plastic surgery procedures.

Reduce pain during light treatment (via partial anaesthesia from cooling)

Reduce discomfort during and/or associated with light treatment

Minimize thermal injury, including thermal necrosis, to non-target skin and skin structures during and/or associated with light treatment, thus reducing possible complications such as scabbing, scarming, hyper — and/or hypo pigmentation

Allow the use of higher light or laser fluences for light treatments (such as for hair removal and the treatment of vascular or pigmented lesions)

Reduce potential side effects of light treatments (such as for hair removal and the treatment of vascular or pigmented lesions)
