Device Description
The LinScan Lite 808 Laser System is a diode laser designed to be used in Dermatological practice for hair removal and permanent hair reduction defined as the stable, long-term reduction in hair counts at 6, 9, or 12 months following a treatment regime. The LinScan Lite 808 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 LinScan Lite 808 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 LinScan Lite 808 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. Specifically, the hair follicle contains pigment and reacts to laser light by heating. Heating denatures proteins in the hair follicle, retarding hair growth.
