Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment Arm

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Fraxel® FTX Laser System

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Fraxel Laser System has two fiber-laser sources that are contained in a single Console. The Console is electrically connected to the facility power source. Laser energy produced by the unit is delivered to the tissue through the Handpiece, which is connected to the Console by the Handpiece Cable. Treatments are delivered through removable, disposable Treatment Tips which attach to the Handpiece. A Treatment Key is required to activate treatments and is inserted into the port on the side of the Touchscreen.

The system includes two lasers with wavelengths of 1550 nm and 1927 nm. The two-wavelength option allows for targeted treatment of different tissue depths, and the wavelength can be selected through the Console Touchscreen. Interchangeable Tips allow for treatment of both small and large areas.
