Section 7: Vasculaze Treatment Information
Vasculaze is a diode laser at 1064nm wavelength that is intended to treat
predominantly blue reticular leg veins at a diameter of 1-4mm and depth of up to
5mm, including perforating veins. Due to the low absorption of 1064nm in
hemoglobin, 500-600nm lasers or IPL are a better choice to treat red telangiectasia
less than 1mm in diameter.
7.1 Indications for Use
The InMode System with the Vasculaze Handpiece is intended for the coagulation
and hemostasis of benign vascular lesions such as, but not limited to, port wine
stains, hemangiomas, warts, telangiectasias, rosacea, venous lake, leg veins, spider
veins, and poikiloderma of Civatte.
