Alma Veil

The Alma Veil laser system is intended for use in surgical and aesthetic applications in the medical specialties of dermatology and general and plastic surgery. 1064 nm: The Alma Veil is intended 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 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 Alma Veil is also indicated for the treatment of wrinkles, such as, but not limited to, periocular and perioral wrinkles, temporary and permanent hair reduction, and the treatment for pseudofolliculitis barbae. The Alma Veil is also indicated for the reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars where vascularity is an integral part of the scar, and for treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. The intended use of the cooling system in the Alma Veil 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).

The Alma Veil is also indicated for the treatment of wrinkles, such as, but not limited to, periocular and perioral wrinkles, The Alma Veil 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 Alma Veil is also indicated for the treatment for pseudofolliculitis barbae. The Alma Veil is also indicated for the reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars where vascularity is an integral part of the scar.

The Alma Veil is a Nd:YAG laser operating at wavelengths of 1,064 nm and 532 nm. The Alma Veil consists of the main body, optical fiber cable, user-undetachable laser handpiece, handpiece tip, footswitch, and handpiece cable cradle. The laser output is delivered through the optical fiber terminated by the handpiece. The fluence (energy density), frequency and pulse are controlled from the LCD display/Touch Pad located on the front of the main unit. The LCD display is used to obtain feedback from the system, such as the number of pulses delivered or spot size selected. For treatment, the user can select the appropriate fluence value. The energy is changed automatically in accordance with the selected fluence value and selected spot size. The user can change the fluence value by pressing (up) and/or (down) button. The selectable fluence values are 2 to 300 J/cm2 at 1064 nm and 1.8 to 42 J/cm2 at 532 nm.
