excel HR

Indications for Use: The excel HR 755 nm is indicated for temporary and permanent hair reduction on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI), including tanned skin. 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 755 nm wavelength is also indicated for: treatment of benign pigmented lesions, treatment of wrinkles, photocoagulation of dermatological vascular lesions such as, but not limited to, port wine stains, hemangiomas and telangiectasias. The excel HR 1064 nm is indicated for the coagulation and 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 1064 nm wavelength is indicated for benign 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 1064 nm wavelength is also indicated for the treatment of wrinkles such as, but not limited to, periocular and perioral wrinkles; 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 treatment for pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB); the reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars where vascularity is an integral part of the scar;treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. The 1064 nm wavelength is indicated for use on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI), including tanned skin. The intended use of the integral cooling system in the 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. Surgical Applications:The 1064 nm wavelength is indicated for the incision/excision and cutting, ablation, coagulation/hemostasis of soft tissue in the performance of surgical applications in endoscopy/laparoscopy, gastroenterology, general surgery, head and neck/otorhinolaryngology (ENT), neurosurgery, oculoplastics, orthopedics, plastic surgery, pulmonary/thoracic surgery, gynecology (e.g. menorrhagia) and urology.

Contraindications: Pregnant patients; Patients undergoing treatment for skin cancer.

Important Safety Information: The following treatment-related expected transient side effects and possible adverse events may occur during or following treatment with excel HR: Erythema; Edema; Purpura; Hyperpigmentation; Hypopigmentation; Burns; Erosion; Epidermal crusting; Blistering; Scarring; Deep tissue injury; Prolonged wound healing; Temporary or permanent gray hair; Stimulation of terminal hair growth; Undesired hair loss in hair-bearing areas; Red rash/bumps; Hemosiderin staining; Textural changes; Cutaneous indentations; Sun exposure, tanning beds, and artificial tanning mat increase the risk of side effects and adverse events.

Warnings: Do not treat over dysplastic nevi or questionable pigmented lesions. Do not treat over or close to tattoos or permanent make-up. Hair removal by lasers can cause increased hair growth in some individuals. Based upon currently available data, the highest risk groups for this response are females of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and South Asian heritage treated on the face and neck.

Precautions: Photosensitizing drugs (Tetracyclines, etc.); Anticoagulants – may increase risk of purpura or bruising; History of coagulopathies; History of keloids or hypertrophic scarring; Diabetes – may impede wound healing; History of herpes – pre-treatment with an antiviral may be indicated; Isotretinoin (Accutane) use within the previous 6 months; History of vitiligo.
