Device Description

The TwinScan 808/755 Laser System is a diode laser designed to be used in Dermatological practice for stable, long term hair reduction. The TwinScan 808/755 Laser System consists of a base unit (touch screen, mains switch, key switch, Emergency Stop button) that controls an applicator unit. The applicator unit contains the diode laser and scanner. The device may be configured with 808 nm or 755 nm Applicators, in two treatment area sizes, at the factory. The TwinScan 808/755 Laser System includes the following accessories: Power cord, foot switch, laser protective goggles, applicator holder, and coolant refill kit. A cooled sapphire is the only patient contacting part of the system. There are no single use parts in the TwinScan 808/755 Laser System. Principle of Operation: The laser light is converted to heat when it strikes a chromophore (pigment). The heat denatures the protein of the chromophore (in this case, hair follicle). Specifically, the hair follicle contains pigment and reacts to laser light by heating. Heating denatures proteins in the hair follicle, retarding hair growth.
