The V-Laser laser system is intended for use in surgical and aesthetic applications in the medical specialties of dermatology and general and plastic surgery.
1064 nm:
Dermatology:
The V-Laser is intended for the coagulation ans hemostasis of benign vascular lesions, such as, but not limited to, port wine stains, hemangiomas, warts, telangiectasias, rosacea, venus lake, leg veins, spider veins, and poikiloderma of civatte; and treatment of benign cutaneous lesions, such as, but not limited to, warts, scars, striae, and psoriasis. The lasers are also intended for the treatment of benign pigmented lesions, such as, but not limited to, lentigos (age spots), solar lentigos (sun spots), café au lait macules, seborrheic keratoses, nevi, chloasma, verrucae, skin tags, keratoses, tattoos (significant reduction in the intensity of black and/or blue/black tattoos), and plaques.
Additionally, the lasers are indicated for pigmented lesions to reduce lesion size, for patients with lesions that would potentially benefit from aggressive treatment, and for patients with lesions that have not responded to other laser treatments.
The V-Laser is also indicated for the treatment of wrinkles, such as, but not limited to, periocular and perioral wrinkles.
The V-Laser is indicated for temporary and permanent hair reduction. Permanent hair reduction is defined as long-term, stable reduction in hair counts observed at 6, 9, and 12 months after the end of a treatment regime.
The V-Laser is also indicated for the treatment for pseudofolliculitis barbae.
The V-Laser is also indicated for the reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars where vascularity is an integral part of the scar.
The V-Laser is also indicated for treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris.
The intended use of the cooling system in the V-Laser handpiece is to provide cooling of the skin prior to laser treatment; for the reduction of pain during laser treatment; to allow for the use of higher fluences for laser treatments, such as hair removal and vascular lesions; and to reduce the potential side effects of laser treatments.
532 nm:
For coagulation and hemostasis of vascular and cutaneous lesions in dermatology, including, but not limited to, the following general categories: vascular lesions [angiomas, hemangiomas (port wine), telangiectasia (facial or extremities telangiectasias, venous anomalies, leg veins)]; benign pigmented lesions [nevi, lentigines, chloasma, café-au-lait, tattoos (red and green ink)]; verrucae; skin tags; keratoses; plaques; and cutaneous lesion treatment (hemostasis, color lightening, blanching, flattening, reduction of lesion size).
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
